A little of this & a little of that

This shouldn't surprise anyone at all.

Geoffrey Berman was pretty much forced to resign as a United States Attorney, based out of New York City, by Attorney General William Barr, who was claiming President Trump wanted Berman gone, for the simple reason that Berman is investigating Trump's personal attorney, the brain-addled former NYC Mayor and Attorney General Rudy Giiliani and two of his friends, in relation to the Ukraine-Biden mess.

At first, Berman wasn't going to step down, but after getting assurances from Barr that the case would continue (HA!), Berman agreed to resign, and will swap places with Jay Clayton, who is leaving the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)----we think, or will take another job. Seems Clayton coveted Berman's job out of loyalty to the Oldest Baby in America.

                        

"Long as you can get Rudy's bridge partners off the hook, fine. Now, get me my Evenflo!"

Now, Giuliani, for his own good, should be in a retirement home, as he is a trainwreck whenever he appears on TV these days.

I can just picture it now in January. Barr gets disbarred. Giuliani gets sent to an adult home. Trump? Bellevue's calling.
================================
Hours before tonight's ego-stroking rally in Tulsa, six members of Trump's pre-event staff tested positive for COVID-19. One peaceful protester, kneeling in prayer, was arrested for "trespassing" because the crybaby wanted her gone.

                              

                        "WAAAAAHH!! She is praying. Get her outta here!"

For someone who claims to be a Christian, you'd think Trump would respect the woman's decision to pray right then and there. Nope.
====================================
A Nestle subsidiary is the latest to capitulate to the PC police and will rebrand Eskimo Pie. I guess the long held image of a young boy in a parka eating the ice cream now is being considered derogatory. Do they now want to replace the jacket? I don't get it.

What's next? Replacing the Native American maiden on the Land O'Lakes products with a picture of one of the Great Lakes?

It started with David Starr, an American wrestler working mostly in the UK, and holding three different titles in as many European promotions. It has spread across the pond back here to the US, with a number of people associated with WWE caught in a web of allegations of sexual abuse and/or misconduct. To wit:

*--Matt Riddle, who competed in high school in Saratoga as an amateur wrestler, and who debuted on Smackdown last night, was accused of sexual assault in a case dating back two years by a former colleague, but it is now a case of he said/she said, as Riddle's wife has come to her husband's defense, claiming the accuser has been hassling Riddle over that same period.

*--British wrestler Jack Gallagher was cut by WWE after taping his final appearance on 205 Live, which also aired last night, albeit on WWE Network, due to allegations of attacking a young woman in a British club some six years ago.

*--Jordan Devlin, the Irish grappler who now shares the NXT Cruiserweight title with Mexico's Santos Escobar, has, like Riddle, retained legal representation to combat allegations against him. The Progress promotion in England has stripped Devlin of their tag titles, and suspended him indefinitely, while also suspending another wrestler, and terminating four other men.

*--Other WWE NXT UK competitors, including 2/3 of the Gallus stable, Joe Coffey & Wolfgang, and Mustache Mountain's Tyler Bate, are also dealing with allegations. NXT UK has been on hiatus from taping due to the coronavirus.

*--Manager-turned-commentator-turned-podcaster/historian Jim Cornette, and his wife, Stacey, have been accused of running some sort of clandestine operation while Cornette worked for Ohio Valley Wrestling. Allegedly, the idea is that Cornette mandated to certain wrestlers there that they had to perform sex acts with Stacey in order to get a push with OVW. Cornette, who started as a photographer before getting his first break in Memphis, could see his reputation completely destroyed as a result. He was fired as a commentator on NWA Powerr late last year for an inadvertent and inappropriate joke while on the air.

*--Velveteen Dream (Patrick Clark), already weathering a storm over allegedly propositioning young boys on social media, has gotten caught in the web again. While his gimmick is considered a cross between The Rock and the late musician Prince, some might think that should be Rock and the late Michael Jackson if these new allegations hold true. Reports had surfaced that Clark would be called up to the main roster after losing to Adam Cole at NXT Takeover: In Your House two weeks ago, but that didn't happen, and apparently, now we know why. Clark has been associated with WWE since 2015, during the last Tough Enough series, the same class that produced two more current stars in Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. WWE already cut Gallagher. Expect NXT UK to be gutted before the next tapings if there's any base for the allegations.
