May I have your attention, class?
Trump Stinks!
Discuss.
What Tillerson got right.
Sorry … discussion postponed to make better preparations for the safety walk-out.
A fine-tuned machine . . .
. . . the Tillerson Reaper.
Well oiled, too.
No chaos.
I wonder how inclined he is to tell us all about it?
Or maybe he'll have something to say to Mueller . . .
There is a book which will be rushed into print. Working title: Musing on the Moron
Rule #8 in Trumpland: Never mention Russia.
On the bright side, . . .
. . . at least
TrumpPutinTrumPutin didn’t have Tillerson poisoned . . .. . . yet . . .
The first rule of Trumpclub: . . .
. . . There is no Russia!

Democrats Offer Last-Minute, Pretend Defense of Fair Lending Laws, as They Prepare to Weaken Them
From the 2016 Democratic platform:
Democrats. Like Michael Bennet, sponsoring S.2155, which guts the rules on banks.
Democrats. Like Ed Perlmutter, voting to support H.R.4607, damaging the power of the CFPB to regulate lenders, particularly payday lenders (those "predators" mentioned in the platform).
Democrats.
Further evidence that Trump is deathly afraid Putin will drop the hammer on him if he dares to criticize Russia in any way, shape or form:
I noticed that too. That was the final straw. That plus firing Tillerson distracts the media for a day or two from the Stormy Daniels' story.
Yep, that's my take as well.
The White House says he was fired on Friday. The State Department said he learned the same way Comey did – by tweet. Who am I supposed to believe, I don't wonder…
This is typical of the chaos and disarray Trump engenders. Tillerson has deeply wounded the State Department and it will take years to recover after Trump is gone from office. Hard to say if Pompeo will be any better in the meantime. But at least he seems to recognize the threat Russia represents.
With the caveat that whatever comes out of this administration is impossible to believe, even the true stuff, the reporting I've seen is that Tillerson was told he was going on Friday, but not when he'd be gone. That happened with the tweet.
I doubt that. The Friday schtick is to deflect away from the Russia comment, plain and simple. Even if it were true, why send the guy to Africa on a diplomatic tour if he's going to be out? It's all Trump tantrum time, all the time.
You mean this from the New York Times?
That, along with CNN, WaPo, and others.
Where is Nutlid to explain what is going on?
In case you hadn’t noticed, you are a character living in a short-story written by Kafka . . .
Trump Finds Unlikely Culprit in School Shootings: Obama Discipline Policies
https://nyti.ms/2GnLgWH
None of this by accident. One by one, the non-believers and the indicted are leaving. Trump is isolating and insulating himself, as would Putin, Kim, Duterte, …etc.
Any American who supports this authoritarian clown is willfully blind. As I sit here listening to Dions' classic,"Abraham, Martin, and John", I am nearly moved to tears. My outrage that gunnuts, billionaires, zealots, and fascists have taken over this country sends my blood pressure to places it should not go.
The continual lies, manipulation, heartless opportunism and oppression by the wealthy is approching historic levels. Not since the turn of the 19th century have we seen the naked aggression with which thieves, traitors, and terrorists stake their claim to legitimacy.
I noticed in the story about teachers the phrase,"stripped of their rights". It seems to me that is a trend that will continue unabated unless the American voter does something about it. November may be our last chance.
Republicans must be dethroned.
Period.
The Kansas Sec'y of State, Kris Kobach, is having a heck of a time defending his voter suppression law in federal court.
At least he'll have a slam-dunk reason to appeal once he loses his case — incompetent representation
Hey, Pols! Not for nothing, but it's time to get secure.
Let’s Encrypt takes free “wildcard” certificates live
Softsys already links to Let’s Encrypt from their shared hosting page, so they should be able to get you up and running.
Is Softsys the provider? Let's Encrypt is cool, but its short-term certificate thing is annoying if your provider doesn't have an interface to it.
I'm assuming:
Please explain for us less geeky types why we should care.
"https" has 25% more letters so it must be better! But, really…
What Is HTTPS, and Why Should I Care?
Well, after today’s festivities . . .
. . . and now Lamb’s showings in Pennsylvania . . .
. . . I can’t wait to see what kind of dumpster fire Stormy Daniel’s john unleashes on America tomorrow morning!
. . . Say, it wouldn’t happen to be “Infrastructure Week” again this week, would it???
