How can Manafort go undercover when they're publicizing how undercover he is?

Maybe they think he can still get pally with Trump again

He's not the best at picking friends so it may just work.

He's pleading guilty to conspiracy against the United States so maybe that's something to do with the Russians? He was Trump's campaign manager, will be interesting to see what he was up to.

A lot more than close Trump people may be worried about Manafort.

How the hell is that allowed?
I'd almost see the point if this was only to be used for something like a nuclear war alarm but this is Trump and he'll use it to post about how great his dinner was or that someone is a loser for being mean to him.

That is some 1984 level fuckery, right there. Can people opt out?

Ford said she told no one of the incident in any detail until 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband. The therapist’s notes, portions of which were provided by Ford and reviewed by The Washington Post, do not mention Kavanaugh’s name but say she reported that she was attacked by students “from an elitist boys’ school” who went on to become “highly respected and high-ranking members of society in Washington.” The notes say four boys were involved, a discrepancy Ford says was an error on the therapist’s part. Ford said there were four boys at the party but only two in the room.
Notes from an individual therapy session the following year, when she was being treated for what she says have been long-term effects of the incident, show Ford described a “rape attempt” in her late teens.
In an interview, her husband, Russell Ford, said that in the 2012 sessions, she recounted being trapped in a room with two drunken boys, one of whom pinned her to a bed, molested her and prevented her from screaming. He said he recalled that his wife used Kavanaugh’s last name and voiced concern that Kavanaugh — then a federal judge — might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court.

The Republican response to this has been appalling. Apparently Flake and Collins have both tentatively stated that the vote be delayed, but most have insinuated that it's some sort of Dem boondoggle.
The worst country.

The entire system they have where one side can try and bulldoze though a candidate for such a crucial position that will have implications on everyone in the country for decades by not allowing the opposition time to scrutinise the candidate and doing as little as humanly possible to scrutinise them themselves is bloody stupid.
Positions on the supreme court should be given out by a none-political legal panel and people on the court should not have life tenure. It should not be down to the luck of the current President and how many of the justices happen to kick the bucket to decide if the country goes massively right or left wing for decades.

Quotes are coming out on Stormy's book
Smaller than Average, but not freakishly smaller
“He knows he has an unusual penis. It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool…
I lay there, annoyed that I was getting strawberry floated by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...
It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”
We're going to get Official Tweets bragging about his todger soon aren't we?
