Bloody brilliant, sir. :)

Thank you for taking the time to set the record straight. It is so refreshing to read facts versus the repetitive drivel from the uneducated and easily conned MAGAts and useful idiots who spew their fabricated propaganda and fake talking points ad nauseam. 

I will say their stupidity is always good for a laugh, though... not at all unlike watching trained seals bellowing and performing for fish bits. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; know this might dent small egos, but I think Murdoch and Trump are having a lovers quarrel...&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, well, you also thought that Hillary was going to be POTUS..

So, obviously, what you think is so far removed from reality as to be on a different planet...

Go ahead.. Shower me with tons and tons of words that show how much you &quot;don&#039;t care&quot; what I say..  :D</description>

		<description>I gasped aloud...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCfx-S_7ch8  You know when your run of right-wing approval has fizzled when FOX treats you like something they trod in on the pavement. Regan has form for full-throated Trumpian sycophancy, to hear her spit his name out like a curse is astonishing.

I know this might dent small egos, but I think Murdoch and Trump are having a lovers quarrel...Trump referred to The Sun newspaper of factual reporting, and therefore &#039;fake news&#039; and anti-Trump. Old Rupert is as shallow and vapid as Trump...for his &#039;darling rag&#039; The Sun to be called fake news by an obvious twit hasn&#039;t sat well.


Being sentient, my hopes aren&#039;t high for the folks at FOX to maintain this refreshingly accurate view of Trump. 


Seems I wasn&#039;t pulling my pisser when I asked the resident apologist how Trump would react on the world&#039;s stage, with whom would he pledge allegiance? I think the majority knew the answer yesterday, we all know the answer today. 


Now that&#039;s what I call winning.

		<description>[216] &lt;i&gt;In their perfect world, what would happen???&lt;/i&gt;

I think the perfect world would look something like this.

1. Democrats win the House majority, and Pelosi becomes speaker because it is her turn (again), just as it was Secretary Clinton&#039;s turn to be president.  

2. The President is taken aside, he&#039;s shown the extent of the evidence of years of laundering Russian mob money, tax fraud, and asbestos removal violations. He resigns in exchange for keeping his business, not to mention staying out of Sing-Sing.  He takes his movement into the wilderness to fight another day.  

3. Upon being sworn in, Pence is seized by persistent apoplexy as he realizes there is no one to ape, gaze lovingly upon, or tell him what to think.  The four unindicted cabinet secretaries vote unanimously to invoke the 25th Amendment.

4. Speaker Pelosi becomes president.  To paraphrase the commercial I just heard, bada book &#039;em, bada boom.

These are very weird times that call for weird solutions, or, at least, a little levity.  Good night.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Trump apologizing for the U.S.s involvement in Russian hacking is one of the weirdest things we&#039;ve seen from him. &lt;/I&gt;

No more strange than Odumbo apologizing for the US killing and torturing terrorists...

No more strange than Odumbo siding with black terrorists over LEOs....</description>

		<description>Well it looks like Treasonous Trump is failing the simple test: If you&#039;re in a hole, stop digging.

Very amusing.

The Lib/ertarian contingent has gone quiet recently, I expect it is because the deal they made with the Republicans is backfiring on them big time - nothing like some strong arming at the border, a trade war, and a anti-abortionist on the SCOTUS to make you look long and hard at your party&#039;s platform and wonder why the Democrats are more libertarian than Treasonous Trump and his cronies. Couldn&#039;t happen to a nicer bunch of D&amp;D teenagers who never grew up.

Trump apologizing for the U.S.s involvement in Russian hacking is one of the weirdest things we&#039;ve seen from him. Maybe Putin gave him a low grade in his review and he is hoping to do better.

The World Cup is over. It is a rest day in the TdF, but Treasonous Trump delivered the entertainment for the day - watching the right wing try to apologize for treason.</description>

		<description>Now I just heard Katie Tur, filling for Todd, who&#039;s on All Star Game break, ask her guests about treason, because T. Friedman evidently wrote it today.

To that I say: ixnay on the easontray.  Just like the I- word, it is devisive, premature, and without legal or practical meaning in the here and now.

That said, I don&#039;t have any problem with the moniker Treasonous Trump in posts above, any more than I have any problem with the moniker Odumbo.  It&#039;s unlikely that anybody who reads this blog gets their panties in a wad over either.

But I sure as hell don&#039;t like people using the former on MSNBC any more than I would like the latter being used on Fox even if I were a red-hatter.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;This is a three act play.&lt;/I&gt;

Like I said to BG above..

I cannot see AG Rosenstein making a point (TWICE) to specifically state that the election wasn&#039;t affected, only to turn around and say, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Just kidding.. The election was totally fraked!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

I just can&#039;t see that happening..

Which brings us to another question..

What do the NeverTrumpers want to happen??

Do they want to install Hillary and Kaine as P and VP??  Do they just want to get rid of President Trump and deal with President Pence??

In their perfect world, what would happen???</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;... Rosenstein made clear.. TWICE...
1. NO AMERICANS WERE INVOLVED...&lt;/i&gt;

At the ellipsis, add &quot;in the indicted acts.&quot;

This is a three act play.  

The first act saw some &lt;i&gt;capos&lt;/i&gt; being busted with most pleading out to process crimes to keep the songs they sing unheard for use in scenes later in the play.  

Second act saw some soldiers named, both in and outside jurisdiction.  Either way, doesn&#039;t matter because they&#039;re little fish, and weren&#039;t acting on their own volition.  But it does increase the tension in ways that even experts on reality tv production don&#039;t have the experience to handle.

The final act, as always, will bring all the plot threads to their demonstrable and logical conclusions. We don&#039;t know what those conclusions are going to be.  They could be as Michale continues to hope for, or what Maddow proffers, or what Avenatti predicts, or something none of us can even imagine yet.

I won&#039;t be surprised if we just entered intermission.  Regardless of how this last act is going to play out, there will be, in any case, less needless moving parts if the intermission were to run until, say, December.

As I type this, there&#039;s news that an asset of A. Torshin just got indicted for a FARA violation.  There are two unnamed Americans.  Maybe Act II is still going on.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Last on this thread - the scope of the Deputy AG statements was pretty narrow. All it would take is for one or more additional Russians to be indicted to wipe out &quot;no Americans involved&quot;.&lt;/I&gt;

But here&#039;s the thing...

The Dep AG probably made those comments to assure Americans that their election wasn&#039;t tainted..

Is he going to say, 6 months down the road, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Just kidding!!  The election was definitely tainted&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

He would shoot his credibility all to hell if he did that...

The final report will be the same as the last 2 Russian indictments..

NO AMERICAN INVOLVEMENT

NO EFFECT ON THE ELECTION</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Who said anything about collusion? &lt;/I&gt;

Uh.... That&#039;s all the hysterical NeverTrumpers have been screaming about for the last almost 2 years..

NOW you are saying that collusion is not an issue???

&lt;I&gt;I infer from your response that you agree with both presidents (reading between the lines of the transcript) that the indictments are baseless and the U. S. Intelligence agencies are all lying.&lt;/I&gt;

They are baseless and the intelligence agencies are lying insofar as they are making a non-factual, non-existent connection between the actions of the Russians and President Trump..

I remind you again what Dep AG Rosenstein made clear.. TWICE...

1.  NO AMERICANS WERE INVOLVED..

2.  NO EFFECT ON THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION</description>

		<description>Who said anything about collusion?  My worst case was about his demonstrable insecurity. Waiting on the conclusion of the Mueller investigation  and ignoring hyperbolic rhetoric will save me a lot of heartburn.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s a good point. &lt;/I&gt;

Thank you.. I have my moments..

&lt;I&gt;It begs the question of whether they detected that they were made 18 months ago. If they were, then necessarily the damage would have been much less.&lt;/I&gt;

What it indicates to me is that, if the US intelligence communities knew about this a year and a half ago, then EVERYTHING Russia did is because the US Intelligence communities ALLOWED them to do it..

And THAT raises a whole new can o worms..

It goes back to WHY Obama didn&#039;t do anything about the Russians when it was discovered and brought to his attention back in Aug of 2016....

Obama failed to act BECAUSE OF POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS...

Hysterical NeverTrumpers are going on and on about what a horrendous attack this is on our Democracy..

And Obama DID NOTHING DUE SOLELY TO POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS..

And people have the unmitigated gall to condemn TRUMP!!!????

On WHAT planet is that reasonable???

&lt;I&gt;I&#039;m still happy about it, though. I have to disclose that I&#039;m an unrepentant cold warrior and don&#039;t differentiate from the old Communist criminals who ran the state then and the kleptocrats who run it now.&lt;/i&gt;

I think we&#039;re contemporaries in that regard...

But as much as I hate my counterparts in the Kremlin et al, I despise even more those in my country who are doing their bidding..

Russia&#039;s goal is to cause strife and mayhem and damned if the Democrats are obliging Russia every step of the way...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I cannot help but notice that you have not given us your opinion regarding the press conference.&lt;/I&gt;

It made hysterical NeverTrumpers heads explode all around the world..

That makes it an awesome press conference.. :D

&lt;I&gt;At best it made him look weak compared to Putin and will weaken him politically in this country.&lt;/I&gt;

Considering President Trump is not a real politician, I think he held his own just fine....

Putin knows that we know.. And we know that Putin knows that we know..  And Putin knows that we know that Putin knows that we know.....

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Uhh.. What we talkin&#039; bout now???&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Chicken Little

:D

&lt;I&gt; This causes him to continue to attack the U. S. intelligence community credibility. &lt;/I&gt;

The US intelligence community thru their credibility out the window when they decided to take sides in an Election..

That&#039;s on them, NOT on President Trump..

&lt;I&gt;The truth is likely closer to the latter.&lt;/I&gt;

And THAT is the problem with you NeverTrumpers.  You are all consumed about &quot;truth&quot;...  Hell, it&#039;s ya&#039;all&#039;s &quot;truth&quot; that Hillary won the election as evidenced by ya&#039;all continuing to spew that Vanity Vote crap..

But, we&#039;re (meaning me and my fellow Trump supporters) are in it for FACTS..

And the FACT is, ya&#039;all STILL have ZERO facts that prove President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election..

Hell, the ONLY fact that has been made clear... TWICE... is that NO AMERICANS were involved with the Russians and  Russian interference had absolutely NO affect on the election...

Those facts simply prove the fallacy of ya&#039;all&#039;s position..</description>

		<description>[198] &lt;i&gt;made for 18 months&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s a good point.  It begs the question of whether they &lt;b&gt;detected&lt;/b&gt; that they were made 18 months ago.  If they were, then necessarily the damage would have been much less.

There is, of course, no way for any of us to know that.

I&#039;m still happy about it, though.  I have to disclose that I&#039;m an unrepentant cold warrior and don&#039;t differentiate from the old Communist criminals who ran the state then and the kleptocrats who run it now.

Over 40 years ago the majority of my flying in Europe was under NATO orders.  Admittedly, that was mainly so it was easier to get off crumby European air bases and get something decent to eat.  When we did, we&#039;d never meet any Russians in uniform (that was, and is, sort of the point of NATO).  But if I had, at the time I would rather have knee-capped the s.o.b. than shake his hand. 
I&#039;m afraid that I still have the attitude, so, I admit, I&#039;ll hope for the worst for Putin and the gang.

		<description>Michael,

I cannot help but notice that you have not given us your opinion regarding the press conference.

At best it made him look weak compared to Putin and will weaken him politically in this country.

At the other end of the spectrum is someone who will not allow anything to threaten his self image of the election results. This causes him to continue to attack the U. S. intelligence community credibility.  The attack started in earnest on January, 21 2017. Recognizing the Russian efforts will not lead to anyone questioning the validity of the election.

The truth is likely closer to the latter.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I notice the female contingent of Weigantia, at least the more rabid Dem/Lib ones, have disappeared.&lt;/I&gt;

And it&#039;s fascinating that they are BOTH gone... At the same time...

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

&lt;I&gt;What I fear is now that reality has set in, that they&#039;ve all succumbed to &#039;slashed wrist syndrome&#039;.&lt;/I&gt;

You ain&#039;t seen nothing yet..

Wait until after this Nov....  We&#039;re going to be knee-deep in head-exploded goo...

&lt;I&gt;Now whothehell is going to entertain us with Dem/Lib ideological rantings in the future???&lt;/I&gt;

Oh I am sure someone will step up...

I could see it coming.  After a solid yr-and-a-half of promising me that getting dirt on Hillary from foreigners, and COMMIES, no less, and even though the dirt never actually materialized, would inevitably lead to trials for treason, money laundering, and gawd-only-know what,  inevitably leading to impeachment for the illegitimate Trump.

		<description>[176] &lt;i&gt; ...ingress and egress options that will ensure they can come and go as they please...&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Maybe before, but when a military intelligence officer is made as fully as these poor bastards have been made, most conventional ways to travel are foreclosed, and now they&#039;re on the radar of all western covert operators.  In any case, these guys aren&#039;t 007 types; they&#039;re geeks. 

Beyond that, I think Ignatius made the most important point about the damage done to Russia from the tipping of the cards in the indictment&#039;s story.  It&#039;s not even that, for a Russian agent, having your methods and channels so badly compromised might be worse than getting caught, say, in Latvia. 

A movie buff such as yourself, Michale, probably remembers the scene in &lt;i&gt;Enemy at the Gates&lt;/i&gt; when then-Commissar Khrushchev comes to replace the stalemated commander in Stalingrad, and ends the conversation by putting a gun on the table, and telling the general &quot;I have to report to the Boss. Perhaps you&#039;d prefer to avoid the red tape.&quot;

This indictment is a full employment act for Russian counterintellegence. This means shutting down all kinds of channels while the plumbing is being checked.  And somebody, too, is going to have to report to the Boss that he&#039;s certain that everything is cool now.</description>

Oh, you have made it clear yer interested in just pushing my buttons..  

Who am I to deny you the simple pleasure of thinking it worked.  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Sorry Michale, but you can&#039;t have it both ways...on the one hand you drone-some, boorish, right-wingers want to marinade in the Trumpian era on a global level, yet recoil when the world calls you fools for doing so&lt;/I&gt;

no, I call you because you claim my posts are bullshit, yet you can&#039;t let them pass without trying to convince yerself that they ARE bullshit.

It&#039;s YOU who cannot have it both ways..

If my comments are ridiculous and bullshit, then you should have no problem ignoring them.

The fact that you engage  me PROVES you care about my comments deeply...

&lt;I&gt;You fuckers are a laughing stock the world over because of Trump and his grade eight education, one might think you&#039;d appreciate some non-partisan straight talk.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, and yet, we control the government, we control the judiciary and your buddy Democrats are going to get their asses HANDED to them in Nov..  AGAIN..  :D

So, by all means, go on and on and on about how you don&#039;t &quot;care&quot; about my comments, yet are SOOO desperate to refute them..  :D</description>

The man needs putting back in his rubber condo, sharpish. I know you&#039;re disadvantaged by political expediency, the GOP would stick by a Geoclam after eight years of a black man in the WH, it&#039;s your tether to the &quot;great white link&quot; that bonds you to this clown. Unless you you want to assert some other quality you share in kind...Ya&#039;ll do sound the same to me...that is, like a bowl of beans on it&#039;s final journey through a cowpoke.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&quot;The Hill&quot; did a poll (oh, did Michale forget to tell you that it was from a right wing site that makes Fox News look like Hillary&#039;s Cheer Leading Team?) - and, surprise, surprise, it was good news for Treasonous Trump. What a joke.&lt;/I&gt;

Ahhh.. So you condemn polls that DON&#039;T say what you want to hear..

But you APPROVE of polls that DO say what you want to hear..

Why.. That&#039;s positively SHOCKING..  :D

Face reality, Neil..

Normally, the Party in power loses Congressional seats in the following mid-term election..

President Trump and the GOP are poised to SHATTER that normality and actually GAIN significant numbers in both the House and the Senate..  :D

Better get your waders and your pussy hats ready..  :D</description>

		<description>As expected...Trump dropped his bollocks on the world stage, again.


Was anyone really expecting anything less than a full-throated, pro-Russian homily from Trump? Even Paul Ryan reacted with disdain at Trump&#039;s allegiance to all things ruskie-poutine. 


Were I American, I&#039;d be profoundly ashamed of my elected leader today...*Also, both Putin and his bitch, Trump are wrong...America isn&#039;t a democracy, it&#039;s a Constitutional Republic, in the same way North Korea is...it just happens to have democracy as it&#039;s system of stewardship. 


Nancy DeVos will ensure that future Americans will never understand this razor&#039;s edge distinction.

		<description>LB,

From the previous commentary..

&lt;I&gt;They&#039;ve probably been blown for months, but now they&#039;re essentially on the lamb.&lt;/I&gt;

Actually about 18 months...

My point is, any intelligence operator worth a damn is not stoopid, by any stretch of the definition..  They have at least a few dozen ingress and egress options that will ensure they can come and go as they please...

Thanx to the Democrats and NeverTrumpers politicizing our intelligence services, moron politicians are broadcasting our intel secrets and procedures to anyone claiming to be a reporter, it would be child&#039;s play for anyone in the GRU to stay 5 steps ahead of US services..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;You know what Markinson did the first seventeen of his twenty-six years in the Corps? Counterintelligence. Markinson&#039;s gone. There is no Markinson.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Kushner was granted clearance in May.  Details of the process are sketchy. Trump has the authority to grant clearance to anybody, but it&#039;s not clear if he circumvented the normal chain of authority or leaned hard on somebody. Younger readers will be able to find out in 50 yrs or so :).

		<description>&lt;I&gt;All the time, there&#039;s more reason to believe that the United States of America will be just fine in the end.&lt;/I&gt;

Exactly..

President Trump is NOT going to ignite WWIII....

President Trump is NOT some Manchurian Candidate who is going to hand the US over to Russia...

All these claims from the hysterical NeverTrumpers indicate one thing and one thing only..

They simply CANNOT handle the FACT that Donald Trump beat their chosen candidate, their coranated candidate... The candidate whose turn it was...

And by an Electoral landslide!!  

No wonder they are desperate..

But, as you say.. The United States of America is going to be just fine..

I am not so sure how the Democrat Party will fare, however..  

When one looks at the very real possibility of a 7-2 GOP court by 2024...???  Well, I don&#039;t think the Democrat Party will be able to hold together..</description>

		<description>LB [170]

Thanks for the link to Ignatius&#039; column. He makes good points. Regarding the question towards the end, I doubt that the intelligence community are sharing anything except what they have been explicitly ordered to share. Perhaps this is what Putin will be ordering Treasonous Trump to do in Helsinki so Putin can try to find out how American intelligence services completely infiltrated his organizations.

Also, this might explain the difficulty Jared is having getting clearance.</description>

		<description>[163] &lt;i&gt;Ahhhh NeverTrumper&#039;s heads exploding!!! :D&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m sure you&#039;re right in this observation.  Just as many House Republicans&#039; heads are exploding, there are many who love and support Anerica&#039;s rule of law and its national security who can&#039;t stay emotionally or rationally immune from this intensity of the trolling all the time.  

David Ignatius&#039; WaPo column (non-paywalled here https://www.arcamax.com/politics/mod/davidignatius/s-2102269 ) is a good antidote to the nonsense swirling around.  It&#039;s clear American intel has deeply compromised some fundamental methods of signal protection of Russian state security and of the extended Putin crime family.

Even while the thug from Leningrad can undoubtedly maintain his poker face and shark eyes during this performance art event in Finland, just imagine what must have been swirling around inside his head these last three days.  Don&#039;t listen to what his counterpart from Queens says or tweets.  

All the time, there&#039;s more reason to believe that the United States of America will be just fine in the end.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Ah, and did you hear the latest from Treasonous Trump - it is America&#039;s fault that there are bad relations with Russia.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, you agreed with Odumbo when he said that it was America&#039;s fault that there are bad relations with muslims..

Hypocrisy much??  :D  Much too much.. :D

At least Trump... excuse me.. PRESIDENT Trump has the advantage of being factually accurate.  Due to Odumbo&#039;s kowtowing and the Dumbocrats with their Joe McCarthy-ish THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING hysteria, relations with Russia are pretty piss poor..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Strong retail sales report suggests robust economic growth in the second quarter
U.S. retail sales rose solidly in June, boosted by increases in purchases of motor vehicles and a range of other goods.
The Commerce Department said on Monday retail sales increased 0.5 percent last month.
Data for May was revised higher to show sales rising 1.3 percent instead of the previously reported 0.8 percent gain. May&#039;s rise in retail sales was the largest since September 2017.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Well Treasonous Trump&#039;s day with Putin started badly when the National Review lam-blasts his phrase &quot;witch hunt&quot; with the headline &quot;Mueller’s Latest Indictments Show That ‘Witches’ Are Very Real&quot; and then kicks you in the proverbials with an article that you&#039;d expect in a real newspaper.

Ah, and did you hear the latest from Treasonous Trump - it is America&#039;s fault that there are bad relations with Russia.

		<description>Let&#039;s note what Nate Silver says:

&lt;B&gt;The Senate map is  really tough for Democrats, with 26 Democratic seats in play next year (including a newly opened seat in Minnesota after  Al Franken announced his intention to retire) as compared to just eight Republican ones. Moreover, five of the Democratic-held seats — the ones in West Virginia, North Dakota, Montana, Missouri and Indiana — are in states that President Trump won by 18 percentage points or more.
Just how bad is this map for Democrats? It’s bad enough that it may be the worst Senate map that any party has faced ever, or at least since direct election of senators began in 1913. It’s bad enough that Democrats could conceivably gain 35 or 40 seats in the House … and not pick up the two seats they need in the Senate.

Don’t believe me? Check out the race-by-race ratings put forward by independent groups such as the Cook Political Report, Inside Elections1 and Sabato’s Crystal Ball. They suggest that Democrats are more likely to loseSenate seats next year than to gain them — and that while there’s a plausible path to a Democratic majority, it’s a fairly unlikely one.&lt;/B&gt;

And THAT was in Jan of 2018....

Since then, things have gotten TONS worse for Democrats....

It&#039;s entirely possible that Dims could lose 10 seats in the Senate, giving the GOP a filibuster proof majority...

Seriously, people..  Ya&#039;all STILL expecting a &quot;Blue Wave&quot;??  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Fall Forecast: An Anti-Leftist Electoral Rout

The angry demonstrators at the Supreme Court didn’t know, and didn’t much care, who Trump’s nominee was. They knew they were against him, as they are against everything Trump wants to do. Perhaps they also know they are losing most of the political fights, and are on the verge of following their McGovernite predecessors into the trash bin of American political history.

If I had to predict near-term American politics, I’d forecast an anti-leftist electoral rout this fall, with a nasty period of infighting and restructuring of the Democrat Party to follow. To be sure, it’s a very volatile world and lots of unexpected things can take place, but for the moment the Dems look like big-time losers.  It seems that the leftist takeovers of the media and the education system are running out of steam. I’ll not be astonished at violence in the streets over the Kavanaugh nomination, but I don’t think it will lead to mass protests of the sort that accompanied the McGovern disaster. Worst of all for the Dems and their “intellectual” fellow-travelers, their distortion of the history of the past couple of centuries has caught up with them, and they are now speaking and writing on behalf of the modern world’s biggest losers.&lt;/B&gt;
https://pjmedia.com/michaelledeen/fall-forecast-an-anti-leftist-electoral-rout/

That about sums things up..

For the Democrats, 2018 is going to be a repeat of 1968....</description>

		<description>JTC,

&lt;I&gt;The tipping point looms...Trump, in his trashy fashion, will have to pick a side in front of the world&#039;s press tomorrow...what do you think he&#039;ll say? &lt;/I&gt;

I have no idea.. Unlike ya&#039;all.. I don&#039;t pretend to be able to read Trump&#039;s mind..

But I can absolutely guarantee you one thing..

Short of announcing that he is leaving office, I can guarantee ya&#039;all won&#039;t like want Trump is going to say or do....

Even if what he says or does is the BEST thing for this country...

No..

ESPECIALLY if what he says or does is the best thing for this country..

Ya&#039;all have become a caricature of hatred and intolerance and bigotry..

I can predict ya&#039;all&#039;s actions, practically down the exact verbiage and bile ya&#039;all will spew...

A tedious, predictable, always wrong caricature...</description>

		<description>[152]... I misspoke...I meant to say, now Betsy DeVos has the keys to the asylum, a global overhaul of the US educational system is at hand. One day, one in the not so distant future, the aspirations of an entire generation will approach the heady goals she, as the nation&#039;s brightest star, has set for the future leaders of America...On that day, Plato, Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Douglas Adams will develop an urge to spin in their graves.

Ignorance is by far in a way a more precise label than stupid for the intended purpose. I break with tradition and acquiesce on this occasion.

		<description>JTC   [151]

Without any reference whatsoever as to who is or is not &#039;stupid&#039;, I dispute your contention that the generic trait itself is &quot;reversible&quot;.

Perhaps you really  mean &#039;ignorance&#039;, which usually is to some degree amenable to remediation, but all the evidence I&#039;ve gleaned in a long lifetime of experience and observation tends for me to strongly conclude the opposite - that stupidity is virtually irreversible.  

Actually, I&#039;d probably re-phrase it to say that while it may well be theoretically reversible, that actual reversal is very close to being unheard of in the real world.</description>

		<description>Michale...

&quot;You sure go thru a lot to try and discredit my comments...&quot;  Lol, they are self dismissing. 

What cracks me up, no one here cares in the slightest for your wheeling out of rhetoric. It&#039;s old hat...Clinton, emails, tin hats made in China...it&#039;s all been said, debunked and regarded as yet another right-wing shell-game. You and your Sibling Satraps &#039;o&#039; Trump have run the board (bored) where skew and cloud are concerned. Why don&#039;t you vent on Putin, remember him? the richest man on the planet, who after nearly two decades of earning a steady 100k a year has, with god-like aplomb, amassed a personal fortune twice that of Bill Gates! has it even itched your mind why Trump seems highly motivated to ingratiate himself to this kleptocrat? What do these two have in common? Strange bedfellows indeed? 

The tipping point looms...Trump, in his trashy fashion, will have to pick a side in front of the world&#039;s press tomorrow...what do you think he&#039;ll say?  Nothing? Czar Putin denies his involvement? some fat-shat in his mother&#039;s basement hacked the DNC? Obama is a black Mexican Puerto Rican jew abortionist who moonlights as a commandant in a sex-slave camp on Mars?  

Grow up.
Stupid is reversible.

You and your Sibling Satraps 'o' Trump have run the board (bored) where skew and cloud are concerned. Why don't you vent on Putin, remember him? the richest man on the planet, who after nearly two decades of earning a steady 100k a year has, with god-like aplomb, amassed a personal fortune twice that of Bill Gates! has it even itched your mind why Trump seems highly motivated to ingratiate himself to this kleptocrat? What do these two have in common? Strange bedfellows indeed? </p>
<p>The tipping point looms...Trump, in his trashy fashion, will have to pick a side in front of the world's press tomorrow...what do you think he'll say?  Nothing? Czar Putin denies his involvement? some fat-shat in his mother's basement hacked the DNC? Obama is a black Mexican Puerto Rican jew abortionist who moonlights as a commandant in a sex-slave camp on Mars?  </p>
<p>Grow up.<br />
Stupid is reversible.</p>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Just remember, sunshine.. You are going to NEED a good portion of those &quot;hollerin&#039; hillbillies&quot; to get anywhere in November..&lt;/i&gt;

No we don&#039;t. And that&#039;s where Bannon&#039;s whole &quot;rally the bigots&quot; plan falls apart. 

Bannon, like Rove before him, identified pockets of disgruntled right-leaning voters (in Rove&#039;s case, it was evangelicals, Bannon targeted the alt-right) in key swing states with lots of electoral votes, while counting on rural votes in less-populated states to keep him more or less even to the blue coasts in the electoral college. In both cases, they were able to achieve thin victories for their candidates.

But the midterms is different map. The lion&#039;s share of expected gains for Democrats are in purple, not red areas, and the GOP is expected to have an uphill climb among those voters, who include a lot more of your &#039;squishy&#039; republicants among them.

The Democrats are responding with turnout and get-out-the-vote campaigns, particularly among women, among whom pollsters say have a higher-than-average enthusiasm for voting this year.

Not good for Republicans, &lt;i&gt;ne seriez-vous pas d&#039;accord?&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>President answered the reporters question by listing several major economic powers (including the EU), then went on to correct the interviewer:

&lt;B&gt;&quot;It doesn&#039;t mean they&#039;re bad. It doesn&#039;t mean anything. It means that they&#039;re competitors. They want to do well, and we want to do well.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Context is a bitch, ain&#039;t it? Once again, the FACTS show your hysterical bullshit to be just that...

As usual, you ignore the CONTEXT...

Why don&#039;t you post the EXACT quote in it&#039;s entirety..

But why let FACTS interrupt your hysterical Anti-Trump rant...&lt;/i&gt;

Like the &lt;i&gt;Sun&lt;/i&gt; interview that Trump called &#039;fake news&#039;, this one was recorded.  This one comes with video of Trump saying those words.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Democrats have for years touted their strength among the less educated folks as a political strength - proof that they&#039;re looking out for the less fortunate.&lt;/I&gt;

And NOW Democrats are demonizing and attacking those &quot;less educated&quot; to no end..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;But it&#039;s as accurate as they come. &lt;/i&gt;

ONLY because it says what you want to hear...

&lt;I&gt;Why don&#039;t you just concede the point that better educated folks are increasingly identifying as Democrats? &lt;/I&gt;

Because it&#039;s PURE UNADULTERATED bigotry..

I can show you stats that &quot;PROVE&quot; black people commit more crimes..

That is as much bigotry as your claim is..

&lt;I&gt;Filling a room with hollerin&#039; hillbillies doesn&#039;t bother Trump, why should a party full of &#039;em bother you?&lt;/I&gt;

Just remember, sunshine.. You are going to NEED a good portion of those &quot;hollerin&#039; hillbillies&quot; to get anywhere in November.. :D

		<description>Trump considers EU to be our biggest foe.

&lt;b&gt;CBS anchorman Jeff Glor had asked the president who he thought was the nation’s “biggest competitor” or “biggest foe.” Trump named the E.U. first.

“I think the European Union is a foe,” Trump said. “What they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe.”&lt;/b&gt;

Vlad will be happy to hear that.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Higher educational attainment is increasingly associated with Democratic Party affiliation and leaning. At the same time, those without college experience – once a group that tilted more Democratic than Republican – are roughly divided in their partisan orientation.

These twin shifts have resulted in the widest educational gap in partisan identification and leaning seen at any point in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys.&lt;/I&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Low number of people on welfare isn’t because people are doing better, it’s because the government has made it tougher to qualify for assistance!&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, that&#039;s the bleeding hearts&#039; claim..

But, of course, it&#039;s unsupported by FACTS...

&lt;I&gt;And what sick piece of crap celebrates turning away those in need of asylum?&lt;/I&gt;

When the asylum claims are nothing but bullshit driven plans of shyster immigration lawyers..

		<description>JTC,

&lt;I&gt;Posts [5] through [124]...What drivel. Michale never ceases to plumb the depths of credulity. It&#039;s not a competition, Sunshine...you don&#039;t have to vie with the coiffed cretin to out-stupid one-another. Trump&#039;s act is a solo, he channels the collective idiocy.&lt;/I&gt;

You sure go thru a lot to try and discredit my comments..

That tells me, since yer nothing but an ideological slave, that I must be getting close to the mark. :D</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;I&gt; Chinese stock market down 50% since he announced...Mexico and Canada losing jobs&lt;/I&gt;

Why are these good things?   Why would you celebrate this?  What next?   Were you rooting against those Thai kids getting out of the cave?  

&lt;b&gt; Truckers working at 100% &lt;/b&gt;

You are giving Trump credit for the trucker shortage?!?   Who does something like that???  Seriously , how pathetically desperate are you to find something good to credit Trump’s leadership for accomplishing that you have to go there!

There are over 40,000 trucking jobs that are vacant right now, and those presently in the field are being worked to death to keep up with the demand.  But by all means, spin it so we can give Trump credit for this great development!   

How about crediting Trump for lowering the number of children who will be potential victims of gun violence by 23 every single day?

Low number of people on welfare isn’t because people are doing better, it’s because the government has made it tougher to qualify for assistance!  

And what sick piece of crap celebrates turning away those in need of asylum?   

These are the things you celebrate about Twitler!</description>
