Trump is a horrible evil person, republicans should be deported, and all gun owners have small penises…
Democrats are all perfect and Russia stole the election from Hillary
There, set the tone for the day for you…
Did I write that we had no trolls on here now? Spoke too soon, seemingly.
Da, comrade!!!
This one is either a home grown troll or a Russian troll who is very fluent in English.
“Very fluent in English” kinda’ rules out “home grown”, doesn’t it??
Good point.
Touché
You forgot that Trump stinks! Stay upwind, America.
A decade after meltdown, Senate moves to roll back bank rules
Sponsors of the bill include our own Senator Michael Bennet.
But, hey, at least you get what you pay for.
C'mon, pseudo…
You don't suspect that $10,000,000 would affect Thurstons opinion…do you?
TBH, I expect that he already held that opinion. The $ millions are just to make sure he doesn't forget it.
Now here would be an appropriate and relevant time for a rant from Zappy.
And yet >crickets<. Which demonstrates to me that his abhorrence of Sen Bennet is either completely irrational or highly personal, eroding its relevance yet further.
Mueller's investigation has collected another cooperating witness in the Trump investigation.
An attorney, Alex Van Der Zwaan, with Ukrainian banking connections is copping a plea to lying to the FBI about his communications with fellow plea copper, Rick Gates, and another 'unnamed person' (just guessing, but their initials appear to be Jared Kushner):
That was about the time Kushner was visiting the Russian Embassy to set up a secure (from US surveillance) comm link to the Kremlin.

Person A is a Ukranian. Some suspicion that it might be Oleg Deripaska, who fits the criteria laid out in the indictment. German Khan could also fit the bill…
Regardless, this is – for now – mostly about Manafort and his shady dealings. Of course, if there really is dirt on Alphabank and Trump campaign coordination, then Van der Zwaan could possibly know about it if he and Dad-in-Law were talking…
"The accomplice to the crime of corruption is
frequently our own indifferencethe judge’s developmentally delayed daughter”FTFY
Whoa, that is obscure.
Cultural Affairs Commissioner for Ed Koch? Wasn't Bess Meyerson also Koch's beard?
Miss America and game show panelist as well.
Not to native New Yorkers of a certain age.
Which apparently includes me.
Paul Krugman has some interesting thoughts on today's GOP (and a question for Moldy):
Krugman really nails the problem:
Expand your vocabulary today:
I had lunch today with an elderly woman who has been a die hard Trumper. Until the weekend tweets. She proclaimed “I’m done with both him and the party until they get their act together”. She’s in her 80’s ( lifelong Republican) so she could have stopped at “I’m done”; she won’t live lone enough to see the remainder of her statement come to fruition.
As my (lifelong not-a-Republican) grandmother probably would have said, . . .
“Zu früh alt, zu spät schlau.”
Perhaps my favorite German meme:
My Grandma lived to 104. Voted for every Republican Alf Landon to Trump.
And from Wilkie through Reagan she was living in Chicago.
I wonder what Krugman really thinks…
In my county, we got robocalls for a school threat that turned out to be some attention-seeker in Jeffco.
Brighton High School, Caprock Academy in Mesa County, and students in Jeffco schools were all threatened "as a joke".
Everybody's scared. Everyone's reacting out of fear. No one feels safe. But hey, RMGO and NAGR are making bank, so all's right in Gunzo World.
Well you learn something new every day…..
I had never heard of NAGR before although always presumed there was some national organization with which RMGO was affiliated.
RMGO lobbies at the state level; NAGR at the national. Dudley Brown is CEO of both. NAGR thinks and raises funds from the idea) that the NRA and all other"gun rights" organizations are a bunch of wimps.
NAGR , a "nonprofit, educational" corporation, raised over 10 million in 2015.
