From now on, if political reporters ask Josh Hawley if he’s planning to run, he’s going to have to ask them to clarify.

'The cookies are PERFECT!' George Conway lampoons Trump's shifting excuses in satirical essay
Kellyanne's husband ~ essay in the Washington Post
"You’re looking for cookies? There are no cookies here," Conway wrote. "I don’t have any cookies. I don’t even like cookies. Won’t eat them. Never had one in my life. Never even seen one. Not once. Ever."
"I like steak and hamberders — I mean, hamburgers," he added. "For dessert, I have ice cream. Vanilla. Two scoops. Sometimes on pie. Definitely NOT cookies."
"What? You’re saying you have photos of me with cookies? That’s a Complete Lie," Conway wrote. "Your pictures are FAKE — just like you are. This is a Another Complete and Total Hoax."
"ALL FAKE NEWS," Conway added. "I am NOT Cookie Monster! YOU are Cookie Monster!!"
"It’s my cookie jar, so any cookies in the jar are mine. In fact, I had a Standing Order that any cookies in the jar automatically became mine when they went into the jar," he wrote. "The jar, and the cookies in them, are PERFECT."

I'm not a golfer but it is my understanding that people who pick up their ball and throw it toward the hole and pick up their opponent's ball and throw it into the ruff (when they think no one is watching) are considered the biggest fucking assholes in the whole wide world.

>30 2wonderY: Some are taking it a little more serious than others. In Georgia a RICO conviction is a minimum 5 years---you can apply for pardon after 5 years. You have to do at least that amount of time. The Governor can't step in to let you go. First you have to be approved by a state board and they're not going to even look at it until the prisoner has done his/her 5 and then applies for a pardon---only then does it go on to the governor with the board's recommendation of yes/no. It being a state charge a POTUS can't pardon you at all. Depending some of these people could be looking at 20 years or more. A mug shot is a mug shot but the charges and even the minimum time aren't a joke and I don't think Fani Willis is a joke either. She's done RICO cases before.
No one wants to be a rat but you also have to look at the character of the guy who led them into all this......who would throw every single one of them under the bus to save himself if he could and then start all over again with the next batch of suckers. My guess here though is if this trial's done before the election or even after (if he's not elected) the captain is going to go down with his entire crew. The only possibility any of them will be saved is by taking a deal. Juscil Tavaras in the Documents case is apparently doing that.

The company is asking for the $350,000 it paid Meadows as an advance for the book, $600,000 in out-of-pocket damages, and at least $1 million each for reputational damage suffered by the company and loss of expected profits for the book, which they argue plummeted given Meadows’s involvement in numerous investigations regarding Jan. 6.
