And we start this short week here http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/30/mike-dubke-trumps-communications-director-has-resigned-238931
'Cause, see, it's not the actions of this Gang That Can't Shoot Straight. No. It's how the messages are being crafted.
Is Trump an 'adult'? Ben Sasse won't say
Trump Stink forecast is for a level 9 this week.
Stay upwind, my friends.
It's important.
Nothing to worry about, right Gerbils?
David Leonhardt of the New York Times has a few concerns:
Bottomline: the myopic narcissist-in-chief is being played for a fool by Putin. This really reflects well on the GOP, doesn’t it?
Andrew and the two other shills are temporarily off line since the communications director at the White House resigned. No one available to upload their talking points.
I've been saying for months that Trump is already being blackmailed by Putin. Nothing that has happened in those months contradicts this, and everything that comes to light supports it.
There's a great post by Bob Seay this morning on Facebook announcing his support for Chase Kohne as the 2018 CD-4 candidate for the Dems. Our librarians disgusting musings of Bob aside, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Bob for his grit and perseverance in the last cycle. CD-4 encompasses a lot of geography; the challenges of living in one corner of the district (Lamar) and maintaining a presence in the other corner (Weld County) is daunting. That, coupled with his day-job of education in Prowers County took the dedication of a citizen who understand the personal costs of being a public servant – and he still stepped to the plate. Thanks again, Bob.
Bob is a class act, for sure.
Happy birthday to me. I was born on memorial day, 1945. Germany had surrendered but the war with Japan was raging and we had not yet dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
I gotta say, it has been one hell of a ride!
Happy B'EarthDay, V! My great-uncle who fought at the Battle of the Bulge (and is still with us, living on his Minnesota dairy farm) celebrated his 93rd birthday this past week and the youngest member of our tribe finally arrived last Friday. Twas a good Memorial Day weekend.
Happy birthday, V, and many more to ya.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday V! 1945 would put you right in the middle of my siblings (1934 – 1954) So you are a virtual big brother 🙂
Yesterday would have been my parents 85th anniversary.
Happy Birthday, V! Hope someone baked you a sugar-free cake. And Congratulations, Grandpa Michael!
There is a lot of chatter on the eastern plains over this article on Sedgwick and how marijuana is proving to be a salvation for the town trustees. Some are finally seeing the folly of Prohibition and the benefits of regulation. Others, like our dear friend Moddy, would prefer to roll into town in their army surplus Hummers and shut that whole thing down.
Guess which camp will claim victory?
My town council specifically decided not to put the issue to voters. * They knew which way the wind was blowing. They thought that they had to be the "moral leadership" in the community.
Now, everyone who has a license to use cannabis simply drives 15 miles down the road to the nearest dispensary and stocks up.
I think cannabis cultivation could be a win for this little community, but they would have to trust the wills of their voters. Seems like a bridge too far.
* No linkie here – I don't really want the entire world to know where I live
I know which way my students, some of whom are 18 or close to it, would vote. They would overwhelmingly vote for cannabis sales and cultivation within the town's borders. They want job alternatives to the meat plant or the fast food places. They want to see long term economic growth. They'd like to be able to stay and make a life in their home town instead of having to relocate for a career.
Moral leadership = mass incarceration and a trillion dollars wasted. But it's OK if you're white, right?
That makes me happy, Michael.
Our little moran won't like this, but Israel is leading the world in cannabis research and has focused on expanding their economy via marijuana exports. I'll link here to a marijuana website so he'll have to pinch his sphincter a bit knowing the inter webs now knows he visited such a site. (you can find the story on Forbes, too, but it isn't nearly as fun). The entirety of the plant has a use, just as Mother Nature intended. Here's another 'first' for Israel. (this one's OK, Moddy – it's an Israeli-based website).
