monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Fresno State University Professor Lars Maischak , shortly before Trump took office, asked: “Has anyone started soliciting money and design drafts for a monument honoring the Trump assassin, yet? To save American democracy, Trump must hang, the sooner and the higher, the better.”

With the WaPo being the main propaganda arm....this is so far out of control

I could not stop thinking about how much the Dems have pushed for violence against Republicans and now this shooting....the party needs to be shut down!!!!!

And the MSM is an accessory to an assassination attempt.

They hype up the Russian lie - while importing illegals and unvetted 'refugees' to use as politicized weapons against the civilians, socially, economically, etc. - while leaving the borders open - while groping everyone at the airports when nukes or bio-weapons can pass through unnoticed.

Complete ******* retards

The way the Russian lie was bounced around in the media reminded me of an echo chamber. It irritates the crap out of me and frightens me. We have a right to elect the president of our choosing. This is effectively 'suspending' the election subject to review by the opposition. The logic on their argument was no longer valid. But here we are still talking about it. They just want to snoop around in his personal business.

I am getting to the point that unless Trump starts making arrests I will not feel sorry for him.

Robert Mueller should recuse himself from Russia investigation

I met Mueller only once, when he was assistant attorney general for the criminal division. From what I know of his reputation, he's an honest, no-nonsense, effective prosecutor.

Under the present circumstances, however, and not without regret, I believe that the same ethics rules the attorney general cited in his Tuesday testimony counsel against Mueller's continuing to serve in the role assigned to him.

28 CFR Section 45.2 provides in part: "no employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution;...

Personal relationship means a close and substantial connection of the type normally viewed as likely to induce partiality. ... (including friendships)..."

One thing that can be said with clarity is that, under the ethics rules cited by Sessions, Mueller has a long-term relationship with Comey that "may result in a personal ... conflict of interest, or the appearance thereof."

Mueller is therefore disqualified. I hope and suspect that Mueller, whom I believe to be a partisan of the rule of law, will see this. If he doesn't, I hope Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will.

His "demand" that Republicans “call a hearing and make the heads of CNN and MSNBC answer to them as to what they are doing to curtail the sneering hatred of Rachel Madcow in particular.” is absurd and would never be taken seriously by the Republican led Congress.

Was this attack evidence of how vicious American politics has become? Probably. In 2011, when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot, grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a 9-year-old girl, the link to political incitement was clear. Before the shooting, Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs.

Conservatives and right-wing media were quick on Wednesday to demand forceful condemnation of hate speech and crimes by anti-Trump liberals. They’re right. Though there’s no sign of incitement as direct as in the Giffords attack, liberals should of course hold themselves to the same standard of decency that they ask of the right. (Emphasis added.)

Media Matters should never be relied upon as a source of any truth. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out they altered Savage's words that they quoted.

I hope and suspect that Mueller, whom I believe to be a partisan of the rule of law, will see this. If he doesn't, I hope Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will.

New York Times forced to correct editorial after Scalise shooting

The New York Times was forced on Thursday to correct an editorial that stated as fact a debunked theory that the gunman who shot Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in 2011 was inspired by a map circulated by Sarah Palin.

Correction: June 15, 2017

An earlier version of this editorial incorrectly stated that a link existed between political incitement and the 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords. In fact, no such link was established.

WASHINGTON — The Senate passed legislation on Thursday that would impose additional sanctions against Russia and limit the president's power to lift them in the future.

The measure will now go to the House of Representatives, where the path forward is not clear.

"The speaker was a vocal proponent of the last round of sanctions and believes we must do more to hold Russia accountable," said AshLee Strong, a spokesperson for House Speaker Paul Ryan. "The Foreign Affairs Committee is reviewing the details in this latest sanctions package being voted on in the Senate, and after that we will determine a path ahead in the House."

If it passes the House, President Donald Trump would have to either sign or veto a bill that the White House has not publicly weighed in on yet.

since Frogs have no restraints on corruption whatsoever.
