Jade Helm 15 is Over.
We should check with AC to find out what the GOP scandal fabrication shop is working on these days — maybe they can find a pantsuit maker that claims HRC gets hers from a rival manufacturer where they are all made on some remote Asian island by slave child laborers.
Where they have forced abortions to sell the fetal tissue.
Crap. Without shariah law that place is bound to devolve even further …
Wait. I'm so confused. I thought they loved the military.
Depends on the color of the Commander in Chief.
That’s Red, WHITE and Blue.
Don't faint or anything, but I wanted to thank Pols for how nicely the site is working. No spam threads posted in Serbian or anything old thing. I love me some edit button too. (Of course, the absence of the almost porn Russian videos from David T might be why no Serbian spam. . . but I digress. Come to think of it, I don't miss those, either!)
Thanks for all your hard work.
Concur.
Link below to a good article pointing out how numerous Progressive African-American Mayors re joining major AFL-CIO unions to oppose the EPA's proposed ozone regulations. The EPA totally mishandled the Animas River spill and they have issued proposed ozone regs that are nothing more than a pie in the sky wish list. Senator Bennet needs to join his friends in Labor and the African-American Community and stop these job-killing regulations.

The market kills more jobs than regulations ever will. There’s also as much pollution entering our waters in steady but less dramatic fashion than Animas all the time. The EPA screwed up but the problem was always there and continues.
You and your sidekick MB4CO have beaten this ruse to death.
My bet is gadfly is the alter ego of MB4Koch. They were double teaming each other a week or two ago. They appeared around the same time and have the same "interests".
Not exactly subtle…
As for today's quote, Drama Queen Kim Davis is certainly deceiving herself but nobody with a lick of sense by presenting herself as having a tragic, tearful, never stint on the histrionics choice between her beliefs and jail. There is a much less dramatic option.
If the ruling that same sex couples have the same right to marry as everyone else makes it impossible for her to issue marriage licenses as required according to her official duties as an elected official she can just resign and find a job that she can perform according to her own unique, personal, cafeteria style religious belief selections, to which she's perfectly entitled. After all, nobody claiming to be Christian or Jewish follows every rule in the Bible. Not even the most fundamentalist or orthodox. I imagine it's mostly the same for other religions and their ancient books of rules. The choices make some jobs unsuitable for some people. Not a tragedy. Nobody's right for every job regardless.
And she should have no trouble supporting herself without this job that probably doesn't pay a whole lot anyway. Her fellow wacko supporters ought to be very helpful in coming up with alternate employment for her. She can even become another C-list wacko rightie celebrity, work shorter hours and make more money. Win/win. See Sarah Palin. She happily quit the hard job of being Governor without anyone forcing her to and has been making great money just regurgitating meaningless word salads ever since.
But I do see that milking as much drama from the situation as possible is the way to go. You can't very well aspire to C-list celebrity status if you don't first make a big splash over a good many news cycles, the more the better. So maybe less self deception, more self promotion?
She can always move to Colo Spgs and work for Focus on the Family.
Agreed that the right-wing money machine is waiting for Davis, although she won't last long because her appearance is not a TV grabber.
But her salary, according to public records, is 80 grand a year. That's upper-crust in the backwoods where she lives.
Actually, B.C., she pulls down just short of 80,000 a year ; well above average for that part of the country (gertie beat me with that one) And the invites to Righty conclaves are already rolling in. Heck, pretty soon she'll be too busy with all of these events to do that job. Hey! Maybe that's how they get rid of her!
And, as for following all of the rule in The Book? This guy did it, then wrote a book of his own about the experience. http://www.amazon.com/The-Year-Living-Biblically-Literally/dp/0743599330.
I'm impressed. Wouldn't expect the salary to be that high in Kentucky. Still, it ain't minor rightie celeb money.
They'll do a spin off from Sarah Palin's Alaska called Kim Davis' Kentucky. Guest stars may include Phil Robertson, Taryn Manning from "Orange Is the New Black" and surviving members from the cast of "Deliverance." Mitch McConnell will have a cameo appearance.
The show will be sponsored by Huckabee for President and NRA commercials.
Mags Bennett (Margo Martindale) from Raylin should be in there somewhere.
Ronald Reagan, Heretic
Just as with Trump, this facty stuff doesn't matter to devotees. I once tried to explain the whole tax raising thing to Conti when she was running for my neighborhood's HD seat and was met by stubborn disbelief that it could possibly be true that that Reagan ever raised taxes or that it could possibly be true in 2010, that Obama hadn't. Her entire campaign was about bringing down sky rocketing taxes, blissfully ignorant off the reality that taxes hadn’t even inched up, much less skyrocketed. The wealthiest still had their hefty Bush tax cut that was supposed to expire but never did. Taxes were down for middle income workers because of the payroll tax cut, the only tax cut Republicans opposed and insisted be allowed to expire, unlike the tax cut for the top.
Total disbelief. It was like I was telling her Santa Claus isn't real. A million and a half dollars later she won by a few hundred. They really wanted that seat back. I sent her info with links and everything. May as well have sent them to my cat. A tiny majority of voters fell for it hook line and sinker. They just liked the hating on Obama and bringing down (already historically low) taxes rhetoric.
On the plus side Reagan did do more than any Republican before him to destroy the American middle class so they can still believe in his sainthood for that.
…and they're doubling down (again) on Laffer Curve economics:
Jeb Bush's new tax plan could cost $3.4 trillion over the next decade
They never learn.
Wonder when those economists stopped worrying, poor dears. Bet they felt pretty silly for getting all upset over nothing.
