Trump's chief-of-tweets loses Dutchess County home

https://midhudsonnews.com/2019/12/11/trumps-chief-of-tweets-loses-dutchess-county-home/

A senior White House official has lost his Hopewell Junction (NY) home as a result of a foreclosure action.

Dan Scavino, considered President Trump’s Director of Social Media, purchased the 4,200 square foot home on St. Andrews Road in the Legends at Beekman Country Club in 2008, with his wife at the time, Jennifer. According to county land records, the couple paid $560,000 for the house.
By the time the Scavinos purchased the home, Dan had developed a very strong personal relationship with President Trump, having worked as a caddie at Trump National Golf Course in Westchester since he was 16 years old.

In April of 2015, Scavino used Twitter to announce that his wife, 39-years-old at the time, had been suffering from Chronic Inflammatory Polyneuropathy Disease developed after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite. Just two months later, Scavino was working on the Trump campaign.
A month after that, in July, the Scavinos filed for bankruptcy citing mounting medical expenses relating to Jennifer’s disease. The couple and their two children continued to live in the Hopewell Junction home.

In January of 2018, Jennifer Scavino filed for divorce in Dutchess County.

Ted Lieu: Trump enablers will blanch at what comes out. . .

during the open hearings.

On what went on this week, a reminder:

https://twitter.com/tedlieu/status/1187862215631749120

These aren't hearings. These are investigative interviews, with both Dems & GOP participating. Investigations are not done in public.

Once investigation is complete, we'll hold open hearings. And Trump enablers will blanche at what comes out during the open hearings.

(boldface emphasis is mine - DMH)


IOW: What we saw, read and heard this week is only the beginning. Hold on to your seats and get more popcorn.

Laurence Tribe: Don't Be A Chump For Trump

https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1178794503068700677

MEMO TO ALL TRUMP’s ENABLERS:

The truth will come out.

Don’t be a chump for Trump.

Remember he’s loyal only to himself.
If principle doesn’t motivate you, self-preservation should.

TRUMP ENABLERS: YOU. HAVE. BEEN. WARNED.

"I Had To Go See The 28-Pound Chonky Cat For Myself"

- the continuing story of the thread from this morning:

https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/i-had-to-go-see-the-28-pound-chonky-cat-for-myself-1837511823

Great video included.

I have to say, meeting the 28-pound cat exceeded my expectations. He was cute and shy but still friendly enough, and he was huge. He is definitely already one of Philadelphia’s top 10 celebrities. I am excited to learn of his further adventures.

Morris is going to wait through the weekend until adopting this cat out, due to the volume of submissions. Let’s hope whoever gets him is active on Instagram.
