Josh Marshall, suggesting too aggressive police posturing against white former Trump campaign manager
Shame on him upsetting the BLM narrative?

Parscale had guns, beat wife, threatened suicide, was lured outside after standoff, could have had a gun in truck, someone thought he might have had a gun in shorts. Police tackled him with restraint, reasonable force.
"tackled him pretty aggressively" - no, tackled pretty cleanly, but yes, it was a tackle. I've seen a lot of cop takedowns designed for head and spine damage. This was a clean lift and push over to get Parscale on the ground and make sure he didn't run away (like Rayshard?). Considering Parscale's 6'8", pretty impressive. Go Gators.
Here's a not-so- impressive tackle that partially paralyzed an Indian grandfather walking around his son's neighborhood - officer acquitted.

Parscale laundered $170 mill?
by PeraclesPlease on Tue, 09/29/2020 - 1:35am
Not "laundered" precisely, just doing the taking of expenses every which way to Sunday just like the boss always did. Took me a while to find but I knew I had seen this covered pretty well. Finally found it-below the dotted line, here's a copy of what I put on your Stuffalicious thread, NYTimes' Goldmacher & Haberman checked out where all the money went in a Sept. 7 piece, pretty extensive, did a deep dive. The Parscale crew spent the money paying themselves extremely well in all sorts of ways and just kept hiring more likewise to get more. Almost more like a pyramid scheme. Nobody cared at the time, so I just posted it there, people just glad the campaign had used up his advantage against Biden, I guess. I didn't notice the story till much later after it was written either. But clearly part of the reason he was fired. As Ed Rollins says "spending money like a drunken sailor". A GRAVY TRAIN basically. (No different than a lot of donors probably do for a living, so it's just like round robin ripping off....well paid comfy jobs jobs jobs producing more well paid jobs jobs jobs) Now everyone cares?

How Trump's Billion-Dollar Campaign Lost Its Cash Advantage
Five months ago, President Trump's re-election campaign had a huge financial edge over Joseph R. Biden ,Jr.s. The Times conducted an expensive review of how the Trump team spent lavishly to show how that advantage evaporated

Except the Trump bimbos were paid out of the same stash, so I don't know if drunken sailors were with or w/o the Don's approval. My guess is he was running something thru Parscale, so the other spigots were acceptable, but maybe it was part subterfuge, like the jostling of different Trump PACs to be *THE* PAC of choice.
More important, what is Joe & Jen Sixpacks' awareness and take on all this. I looked over at RealClearPolitics, and no right-wing comments yet, and the Parscale takedown may have distracted. (perhaps set up? Stranger things have happened)

I see Lincoln Project's Reed Galen did an article on it, too, Sept. 22:

Parscale stepping down to spend more time beating his family

NYPost got the pics and the juice. If it bleeds, it leads:

Sad Brad.

oh right I forgot how much you like the headline writing game
by artappraiser on Thu, 10/08/2020 - 4:28pm
You forgot? Well here, let me write another kazillion to drill that engram into you.
But earlier I'd tweeted a reply to Rick Wilson about a new level of life's difficulties (his wife not sleeping with him? Gasp!) called the Parscale. Of course Trump's #Sad! tweets have been burned into our souls, even though that particular one has fallen into disuse.
Anyway, it was more a "See Dick Run (for Cover)" response to Brad's gravy train falling apart, including that unusually overt and undeniable perjury to Congress - note even wrapped in a Trumpian "to the best of my recollection". My guess is a simple IT guy who rose too quickly in the wrong circles, and started to believe his -and their- own shit
