Paying attention....

...is something hair-fires don't do well. Think about the scope of importance to your life associated with Stormy Daniel's compared to the impact of July 10th 2018 when this happened:

Trump Moves Hiring of Administrative Law Judges Out of the Competitive Service
The White House announced Tuesday that President Trump has signed an executive order moving the hiring of administrative law judges from the competitive service into the excepted service, giving the president and agency heads broader latitude in appointments

So, what was your concern on July 10th and why?

I am continually amused that you think that no one notices things that you just happen to note aren’t given a thread of their own here. ; )

You are right. There are so many scandalous things constantly emanating from Trump that some important things get overlooked. Trying to corrupt portions of the judicial system to mold to Trump's lack of ethics and overt criminality is indeed important.

I did not comment towards anyone's ability to notice, or not notice, anything...just noted your obvious priorities for what is thread-worthy.

And another #winning:
...
Grant now succeeds Judge Julie Carnes, who took senior status in June. At 40 years of age, Grant will likely be able to hold the position for decades, no small factor as the Trump administration seeks to ensure the appeals court’s rightward tilt.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court hears cases from Georgia, Alabama and Florida. One rung below the U.S. Supreme Court, the panel hears nationally significant matters involving voting rights, immigration and the dividing line between church and state.

The court ruled last year that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not prohibit employers from discriminating against workers based on their sexual orientation. But other federal appeals courts later issued contrary opinions.

The 11th Circuit has also made it more difficult for plaintiffs to prevail in hostile work environment claims. Following 11th Circuit precedent, lower court judges now dismiss most sexual harassment claims before they go to trial.

Let’s post all sorts of fun stuff here. : )

A $45,000 payment to an undisclosed law firm. A cash withdrawal for $14,000. Almost $90,000 sent to or from a Russian bank. These and other bank transactions totaling nearly $300,000, none of which have been made public, offer the first detailed look at how an accused foreign agent and a Republican operative financed what prosecutors say was a Russian campaign to influence American politics.

Anti-fraud investigators at Wells Fargo flagged the transactions — by Paul Erickson, a conservative consultant from South Dakota, and Maria Butina, who is in jail awaiting trial on charges of secretly acting as a Russian agent — as “suspicious,” noting in some cases that they could find no “apparent economic, business, or lawful purpose” to explain them. Now counterintelligence officers say the duo’s banking activity could provide a road map of back channels to powerful American entities such as the National Rifle Association, and information about the Kremlin’s attempt to sway the 2016 US presidential election.

Cash withdrawals, most of them from Erickson’s personal and business accounts, make up $107,000 of the financial transactions now being investigated. The largest of those withdrawals — $14,000 — occurred in December 2015, when Erickson reportedly traveled to Moscow as part of an NRA delegation. The visit was sponsored by a Russian gun rights organization started by Butina, federal authorities say.
The duo also deposited about $90,000 in cash in their accounts, which has made it difficult for investigators to determine the source or purpose of the funds.

Bank documents indicate Wells Fargo’s anti–money laundering team began checking Butina’s and Erickson’s bank activity in early 2017, after receiving a referral from the FBI. In a report the bank prepared and shared with the bureau and the US Department of the Treasury's financial crimes division, Wells Fargo officials expressed suspicion about the “significant control” Erickson had over Butina’s account. He had access, Wells Fargo found, to her personal checking account, which she opened in 2014. He frequently made payments on her behalf; the recipients have not been identified. He sometimes appeared to write checks that Butina signed. The bank closed the duo’s personal and business accounts in late 2017.

I wonder when the GOP, fueled by the Koch brothers money, will feel confident enough to call for a Constitutional convention? Between gerrymandering and stacking the courts they may actually get there!
