I don't always say things stink, but when I do, I say Trump stinks. Stay upwind my friends.
President Punk-Ass’s personal attorney pours out a yuge can of his very bestest orange KKKraZy whoopass . . .
White House chief of staff gives Ivanka Trump "credit" for photo-op where tear gas was used:
Ivanka was spotted transporting the Bible her dad hoisted like a WWE championship belt in a $1,540 MaxMara handbag

William Barr’s Vast, Nameless Army Is Being Brought To Bear On D.C. Protesters
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/william-barr-justice-department-protests-trump_n_5ed8330ec5b6513fdffca21a
For some reason I couldn't copy the text to this site, but the story here is that Barr is creating a force of Trumps' own. When law enforcement begins to operate on its own, without judicial restraint, …we are the Phillipines.
Welcome to the third world….
Seig Heil!
We apparently now have the initial fence around the White House. And a fence around that. Additional concrete barriers on the roads. And a third fence/wall apparently going in today. One response on Twitter:
…and Mexico is going to pay for it.
Fort Bunker Bitch . . .
I guess it's not this kind of fencing:
Just wanted to pop in real quick. I am in the meeting of the Independent Ethics Committee, where John Hickenlooper was subpoenaed to appear. He did not. This, despite having his request for a stay denied by a Denver judge last night.
These are the remaining complaints against Hickenlooper.
The commission has indicated that there was another pleading they received, which is likely an appeal of the judge's ruling (my guess).
Why is Hick working so hard to avoid this?
See you after election time. Be well.
Whoa (or should I say Giddy Up?)
I know I'm not fully informed, but isn't Hick's issue one of logistics? How does he confer privately with his counsel during questioning via Zoom?
The charges also appear to be borne from fruit of a poisoned tree, IMHO.
Is there something there? Perhaps. Would it result in a fine? Perhaps so. I guess he doesn't want to give Romanoff any ammunition before the primary.
There is no ammunition if there is no way to understand it

I've seen this ad several times. I'm still not sure its good
First time I have seen it. I like the approach. I like the message as well.
I think this is far better than slick or cutesy ads produced by advertising firms or political propaganda mills. Andrews' strength is his sincerity.
It's a fine piece but if it stays on you tube he's hiding his candle under a basket. Cash is still king in politics.
Yep …. and even on YouTube, there should have been a campaign to get more views, more likes, more comments. Right now, the counts are 740 views; 14 likes (and 0 down thumbs, so there's that); and 1 comment.
Is Romanoff's campaign NOT reaching out to those who donated, signed on as volunteers, and have indicated a willingness to vote for him? If not, is it from some mis-placed sense of ethics, lack of social media advice, or or lack of capacity?
Let's ask him.
Hey, Andrew. You seem to be keeping a pretty low profile, some people are saying.
Do you agree, and if so, why? If you or a campaign member could respond it would be great. I am hoping someone will pass this along to you.
Thanks

On Hickenlooper not showing up.
EVERY platform I’ve used for interactive exchange has a mute button. And Hickenlooper has shown the ability to stand up and walk out of camera range (and presumably away from stationary mics). So I’d agree with the judge who said objections to the technology weren’t enough to put off the hearing.
And a spoken or unspoken response of “I’m not going to follow court orders” ought to be more damning than even a blatant admission “yes, I got on private airplanes to go somewhere.”
I posted on the other thread:
"The courts of Colorado have been functioning for several months on the Webex platform. There have been advisements, dispositional hearings, sentencing, and many other kinds of hearings – just about everything except jury trials. But Hick doesn’t think it’s fair for his ethics hearing to be held on Webex."
Actual district and county court hearings have been held for several months on Webex, since the COVID shutdown of in-person hearings. Attorneys and clients have found ways to have private meetings. It has worked. (The little) people have been found guilty, sentenced to probation, jail, prison, fines, whatever. But the "big" people can't use the same process??!
Alexandra Petri is doing her own Onion/Borowitz impression. Here is a good one:
Oh great! Our own alum, David Sirota, is at the heart of a circular firing squad that is squandering the efforts to unite the Democratic effort to defeat Trump.

Sirota is a menace.
