He made Ukraine an offer . . .
Interesting history about the roots of the violent white supremacy movement:
The massacre that spawned the Alt-Right
I was a young feminist radical in 1979, but don’t remember the Greensboro Massacre, although I do remember the name of Jim Waller. I didn’t respect the opportunistic, sexist communist/socialist party organizers-perhaps that was why.
Or maybe an unholy alliance of the Klan and the Nazis murdering 5 Communists just never got much press….
Oh, it got a huge amount of coverage at the time, thanks to some caught on film gunfire. But the lack of convictions isn't hard to understand since "Death to the Klan" and use of weapons and force by the communists made it easy to claim self-de fense. A validation of Martin Luther King's philosophy albeit at bitter cost.
What! Trump still President. I though you guys had him with the ambassador.
The ambassador who suddenly became a "Trump-hating bureaucrat" after being a Trump lackey? That ambassador?
You want to go after the newly elected official that flipped your fuhrer off?
Assume he is still president November 15th, 2020.
What does he do in the lame duck session?
Be patient, Pear. It takes time to run the paperwork. And Trump did so well for us in Virginia and Kentucky that we're reluctant to see him leave.
Pass the biscuits, Pappy!

Friday, Nov 8
Have we settled on a time?
I will get there approx 630 (pm)
I do not recall when anyone else said… KW?
I’ll get to the Abbey about 6 or 630 as well. I suggest making a reservation under the name “Pols” , with a table for 8 or so. That way, if new folks show up, they can be directed to the right table. Some of us know each other by sight: others don’t.
Since MADCO will be sitting with Charlize Theron, he’ll be easy to spot.
l
Who's making that reservation?
You are ? If you don’t get to it, I’ll call the Abbey tomorrow night.
I turn my phone off during the work day.
Yes, Phoenix, this is our not – Saturday Pols meetup.
All done, M.J. Reservations under "Elisabeth" for 6 P.M.
Thanks, cook. I’ll put up a reminder post.
Is this our not-Saturday meetup?
Hillary Clinton urges Democrats to pick a candidate who can win the Electoral College
What is "Advice Democrats could have used in 2016," Alex.
Not Hillary, right?
According to "Lexington," the US correspondent for the Economist, in last week's issue, that person to win the Electoral College would be Amy Klobuchar.
Also read the cover article on Elizabeth Warren and her campaign's many problems.
Absolutely. Amy could win a general election hands down. She just can't win the nomination with the …. hmm, how can I put this diplomatically …. the good people who feel very, very strongly about crafting and implementing grandiose plans to remedy income and asset mal-distribution trashing the idea of reasonable-sized solutions which potentially have broad support.
Klobuchar would lose for the same reason (s) HRC lost.
Her e-mails?
Hillary lost because she took the so-called "blue wall" of PA, MI, WI for granted. In her MN re-election race, Klobuchar ran far ahead of Hillary in that state.
If she was the nominee, Klobuchar would not make the same mistakes as Hillary did. Senator K. would take the three states that HRC lost, and possibly pick up IA to go along.
Also, Senator K. would play far better in swing states like NC, FL, and AZ than any of the "coastal liberals" would, like Warren, Sanders, Harris.
From your lips to Iowa voters ears!
Agree completely, RandR.
I say, is there an echo in this chamber?😄
Senate president: Kentucky governor's race could be decided by state legislature
If you’re comforting yourself with notions of comity and bipartisanship, remember: one side will consider and usually do anything they can to hold power. Do you want to bring an olive branch to that gunfight?
The dKos article notes that the last time someone contested the Kentucky governorship was in 1899; the populist Democrat won, but the Republican – supported by the legislature – contested and was initially named governor. After an outcry, the legislature met in secret and reversed themselves. But a Republican fanboy shot the Democrat and he died of his wounds three days in to his tenure.
This sounds ominously possible in today's climate.
To quote Donald Trump: "It's a coup! They're trying to nullify the results of an election they lost!"
Delightful…..Our favorite Bernie Bro has returned. At least he is being honest in telling us how much MFA will cost of us.
What a sweet deal!!! Bernie is a god!!! (Not).
Lost in the fine print is how the grandiose M for A, advocated by Sanders and Warren, would be paid for. Ruinous taxation and big reductions in reimbursements for physicians and hospitals, just for starters. And where would all the doctors come from to do M for A?
And “tough shit” for you if you like your existing insurance. The ultra left knows what is best for you. Just like the religious right evangelicals know what is best for you, for your religious views.
When, in reality, only the moderate mugwumps have a clue…amirite?
I know what's best for me; if that's what you're driving at; better than fringe loonies from either the right or the left.
All those guys with far-away eyes, . . .
. . . or staring at shoelaces ??
same as it ever was… same as it ever was.
Got a coded message from Vladimir this AM to contribute to Tulsi Gabbard campaign. As a powerful bot in the war against Democrats I immediately complied. Please help Tulsi qualify for the December clown show debate. Donate $40 dollars today.
Sorry. Don't got the dough. Maybe you can donate in my name.
