Courtesy of Mercutio, Yahoo has all the details about the Bad Boss scandal that ended her career in America here. He comments: Oh No!! ...Anyway...
May life over there prove to be everything they hope… and nothing like we here at Rantburg expect. And may they avoid the too-common expat experience of one of the couple not being able to handle life abroad, and alone returning to the comfortable familiarities of home.

Good luck and goodbye... You made millions off the America you hate. I bet you took it all with you. Try at least a little, to remember where all your wealth and fame came from as you talk hate about this great nation.

Any bets on the length of this staged for attention, for a dying career, temporary move?

News story last night in Dallas featured a local woman leaving because of Trump. Moving to Holland. Well, her husband is Dutch, and she speaks Dutch. Perhaps Trump is just virtue signaling?

I remember about 20 years ago when Busey was at a college football game. Right before the second half started he gets out of the stands, goes down to the cheerleaders on the field, grabbed the pom-poms out of one of the cheerleader's hands, then joined in with the other cheerleaders, dancing and shaking those pom-poms around.
The point is, Busey went insane decades ago so I'm not 100% convinced it his move was all about Trump.
[Breitbart] A federal court has denied a motion by anti-Trump pundit Andrew Weissmann to dismiss a defamation suit by former White House lawyer Stefan Passantino over false claims that he had coached a January 6 Committee witness to lie.
As Breitbart News reported in September 2023:
Former Trump White House attorney Stefan Passantino filed a defamation lawsuit against MSNBC’s Andrew Weissmann, who served as lead prosecutor for former special counsel Robert Mueller, over Weissmann’s claims that Passantino coached discredited January 6 Committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson to lie on the stand.
"Hutchinson’s third-hand testimony that Trump grabbed the wheel of his presidential limousine in an effort to force it to drive to the Capitol was rejected by the people she claimed had told her about it," Breitbart News reported.
Passantino represented Hutchinson at the time of her testimony before the committee. Many members of the media falsely claimed he coached her to lie on the stand, a claim he has repeatedly denied.
The Federalist reported Wednesday:
In September, U.S. District Court Judge Loren AliKhan denied a motion from MSNBC legal analyst and attorney Andrew Weissmann to dismiss a complaint filed by Stefan Passantino, who represented former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson before she became the Jan. 6 Committee’s star witness.
...
"This is an insidious lie," Passantino’s lawsuit reads. "Ms. Hutchinson even testified, under penalty of law: ’I want to make this clear to you: Stefan [Passantino] never told me to lie. ... He told me not to lie."
Hutchinson’s testimony can be found on page 42 of the publicly available transcript from her Sept. 14, 2022, interview with the Jan. 6 Committee. Passantino, instead, coached her as a standard fact witness to only answer questions she could recall. Passantino represented Hutchinson through her first three interviews with the committee before she changed counsel and appeared publicly. None of the transcripts dated Feb. 23, 2022, March 7, 2022, or May 17, 2022, show Passantino obstructing Hutchinson’s testimony. While the transcripts were also recorded, the Jan. 6 Committee destroyed the video.
Weissmann is known for his hostility to Trump and his enthusiasm for "lawfare" efforts to target the President-elect.

The trial would happen after Jan 20, I assume.

BREAKING: GOP North Carolina Supreme Court Candidate Jefferson Griffin, whose lead was overcome by late ballots in favor of the Democrat candidate, has filed to challenge the validity of over 60,000 ballots

Trump clearly has a short-term wrecking ball strategy for DOJ (immensely deserved but with massive media and lawsuit fallout for years, the entrenched parasites and partisans are lawyers after all, radical lawyers and many minorities, so the entire playbook of predictable screeds and accusations will flood the MSM) and Gaetz fit the role admirably, but had messy damages from before that were NOT crimes but lent themselves to hyperbolic attacks from the purported moral high-ground of MSM talking heads. The Senate visitations accompanying Vance got a reading of how much political capital in resistance McConnell and the RINO cohort were willing to invest. (It is interesting that a military parallel comes to mind, “Reconaissance by Fire”). Another, similar firebrand will be found to occupy the Gaetz role. After the breaching and ensuing firefight, that candidate may be out of time and energy, and likely time if a recess appointment. My guess is that there would be a far more traditional candidate to clean up the wreckage after the “crust battle” of the DOJ ideological resistance, and a "consolidation on the objective" AG will follow-on, a Paxton, Eastman or my favorite, Matt Whitaker. Early skirmishing my friends, as the “movement to contact” begins.

Yup, DeSantis could appoint him to the Senate. Moreover, Getz could return to the House so that the Pubs would not lose a House seat. He resigned from the 118th Congress. He was re-elected to the new 119th Congress.
THIS IS AMAZING! The Dismantle DEI Act, which Senator JD Vance sponsored, just got approved by the committee after Congressman Michael Cloud masterfully supported it.
NEW: Rep. Jasmine Crockett goes on wild rant against white people, says they aren’t allowed to use the word “oppression” because they weren’t dragged across an ocean.
Crockett said that black people “didn’t ask to be here.”

I beg to differ.
Having Grand Parents SOLD between Elite Eastern Europe Family members. Transported in a $hit Hole called steerage to NYC.
Then hauled to Chicopee Mass.
Forced to work at the Elite family member's cotton mill for over a generation.
Forced to live in the Company owned housing, use the company's stores for food and etc. Or family member still owned back in the Old Country would be jailed, beaten and punished.
I'd say those Millions of Whites between 1870-1910 that underwent this type of Slavery OPPRESSION earned some rights.
Unlike the few militant Black Community members always running to the camera for fame and $$$$$. It seems the White oppressed millions simply decided to blended into the American Dream. Seek to be independent, be self-supporting, build their own wealth via their skills/labors, marry and raise kids in a 2 parent FAMILY.

The reason Africans were imported as slaves was because the Indigenous couldn't handle the work dying in droves and they couldn't get enough white Europeans. Thieves and malcontents were shipped off to the New World to labor. The English were good to end slavery at home, but kept it alive in their overseas colonies and territories. Ever watch Captain Blood, fiction but based upon history.

100 years ago there were signs all over Boston that read 'No Irish need apply.' I'm pretty sure most Irish were 'dragged across an ocean' but I'll double check the maps...

BTW Princess do you know where the word for slave came from?
The classification and stigma of slavery is referred to in medieval Latin as sclavus, in relation to the Byzantine Greek sklábos, being a derivation of sklabēnós, which translates as ‘Slavic’, originally as a self-reference for the Slavic people, as slovĕninŭ.
NB Black Russian is a cocktail of vodka and Kahlúa not a person of color.

The Slavs of the Transcaucusus did a fair amount of slaving themselves.

..yes a history as long as mankind. Then something got into white Western European culture in the early 18th Century to rid themselves of it unlike every other culture in the world.

#8 A couple of my great aunts starved to death during the potato famine while waiting for passage to the U.S. Many Irish were "indentured servants (basically slaves) until they could buy their freedom. Crockett should read more and talk less.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
