    Couldn’t agree more.. except I’d not use the clearly unearned and undeserved honorific… folks really need to start having it in quotes.. if they must use it..

    I’d be curious to see how many of the same tv networks who refused to carry President Obama’s important 2014 Immigration speech, will carry the treasonous buffoon’s outrightly ridiculous gaslighting charade..

    As for the report — again: https://t.co/kd6mXzvAA6 — here’s the first story: America Engaged, you’ve never heard of it but it exists and has been funding groups involved in SCOTUS nomination fights.

    Some things you aren’t supposed to say about Assange:

    – stinks
    – mean to poor cat trapped in embassy with him
    – is a front for Russian intelligence
    – has helped others act as fronts for Russian intelligence
    – believes he is a messianic figure
    – stinks

      That’s right..

      And that gawd-awful Scalise guy too.. Anyone who’s had that close a brush with death, and yet remains so callous and lacking in humanity, is a lost cause..

      Maybe GOP attacks on recently elected women in an attempt to marginalize them.

      Could you also include a bit about the media’s refusal (a first for a president) to carry live the 2014 immigration speech given by President Obama …and how often the media complained and forcefully negotiated limits and time slots then any time they were given a heads-up about a presidential speech 2009 – 2016..

      And how they now automatically and without hesitation switch right over every day (sometimes as much as 3-4 times a day, every single week for 2 years and counting), and without ever complaining or negotiating, reverentially conceding without even as much as a whimper, again and again, to a vapid treasonous buffoon – even when they know it’s just a gaslighting attention grab, chock full of lies.. and a calculated, empty effort to deceive, deflect, distract..

      There you go! McConnell has been persona non grata.

      Talm ’bout 45, Nancy & Chuckie got the shutdown, and some such foolishness.

      Totally reneging on his Senate Majority ROLE. WHAT SAY YOU MSM?

      Roll up on McTurtle and ask him to take the MOFO bill to 45, even if he threatened to veto it.

      Great news! She had a lot of help to get her released.

      interesting she won’t get parole until August.

      The fake poser in our WH is more dangerous than Cynthia Brown is, and he’s allowed to continue raping, pilaging, and extorting America’s $$$ & resources.

      Take care of yourself, SG.. And in addition to seeing the doctor, try to get a bit more rest this new year..

      Sleep in (and longer), more …and turn off the news (from every source) more often..

      You’ve more than earned the right to do everything you must to self-preserve …and that means you’ll have to be a tad more ‘selfish’..

      What Eliihass said. More rest, more sleep, less news.

      I hope they can help with the cough, SG2. I get that too when I have a cold. So far the absolute best OTC cough medicine I have found is Delsym DM.

      So get the call, and come back to us when it’s DONE, Mr. Schiff.

      I’m tired already, and the year’s just started. Keep your head down and take care of business.

      I know you’re trying to make a case, and stay on top of the media’s bullshit game. Follow Mueller’s lead, if you aren’t already. Don’t show these MOFOS your hand.

      And very important, someone floated the idea of a national emergency declaration and the extraordinary ‘powers’ it wields …and the incredibly cover it potentially provides…

      Imagine the United States, a once great civilized democracy, not just continuing to ignore and actively indulge and cater to a treasonous buffoon, and all with a straight face, but handing him the nuclear codes, and access to and control of the nation’s most sensitive top secrets, and the power to make whatever call he desires, including installing the most obsequious and dangerously mediocre or mediocre-est, power-hungry idiots in top and sensitive government positions …and like a Banana republic despot, arbitrarily declaring a bogus national emergency designed to give him even more unfettered power..

      And all while the media play along for access and shits and giggles.. And so-called high-profile ‘patriots’ either actively enable him for their own aggrandizement – or stand on the sidelines mute or mealy-mouthing and wringing their hands ..

    Jim Hoft is the most stupid man on the planet for trying to create a scandal out of someone’s nickname. My brother went by the name Boobie until the day he passed away. Racism and ignorance is a toxic combination. Go sit the fk down, Jim Hoft.

    Happy New Year, fam.. Here’s wishing you and yours a blessed, safe, peaceful, joy-filled, healthy, fulfilling, prosperous, grace-filled year .. May this be for us and all decent, peace-loving, people of goodwill, a wonderful and infinitely better year than the last..

    Desiderata:
    Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; And listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;

    Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

    Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness..

    You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be..

    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.. ❤️❤️

    -Max Ehrmann
