monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

There's a story blowing up re the sudden decision by Jason Miller, two days after being tapped to lead the Trump WH communications team, to resign the transition team to "spend more time with my family". But we can skip that until after Christmas.

And wouldn't it be refreshing to hear some politico say, "I'm taking this time-consuming post in order to spend less time with my family"

Well, Kellyanne made it clear that the only time consuming things standing in the way of government service and family commitments are mistresses and golf.

In a desperate effort to keep a conservative majority on the court, Senate Republicans rejected their own professed values of preserving American institutions

Yes they did. And they'll do far worse now. Because they are not conservatives, they are revolutionaries.

The Greatest Event Since Winning The Revolutionary War Is About To Unfold… And I Will Be There For You!

Dear Loyal Members:

RED ALERT: Hordes of insane liberal insurgents are planning a frontal attack during the inauguration on January 20 in Washington D.C.!

Listen up! I and many of the Tea Party leaders will be at the inauguration, and it is reported the liberal mob have specifically targeted conservative leaders… there may even be a hefty price on our heads. The liberal mob will stop at nothing to destroy the swearing in of Donald J Trump as the next President of the United States.

But we will not back down! This is why we need sponsors now! Insiders are whispering underworld leaders such as George Soros and the Leftist Crime Machine may be financing all-out attacks on this ceremony, but we will be ready.

...I’m stating for the record: I must ask you to sponsor our Tea Party trip to Washington DC, secure our safety, which include bodyguards and safe passage back home. Can I count on you?

To be honest we need over $49,700 to ensure our safety and reasonable travel expenses.

I must trust you today to say ‘YES‘ and click the link, give as much as you can.

Here is an example of a typical, if blatant, major grift of the sort that runs throughout the modern right

Isn't that just special. And I particularly love that final "To be honest"

But the strange case of Mr Clinton 's trip to Moscow looks to have a greater impact on this weekend's first presidential television debate, and on the election, now little more than three weeks away.

Mr Clinton should 'level with the American people on the draft, on whether he went to Moscow, how many demonstrations he led against his own country from foreign soil,' Mr Bush declared on the Larry King television show.

'I don't have the facts, but to go to Moscow one year after Russia crushed Czechoslovakia, and not remember who you saw - I think the answer is, level with the American people,' Mr Bush repeated.

Of course! The starting MSRP for a BMW Z4 is $49,700 . . . .

Donald Trump’s wrecking crew: A cabinet of zealots who yearn to destroy their own agencies
Previous GOP presidents have appointed anti-government hardliners, but Trump's cabinet goes further than ever

Same with the KKK who were ostensible Christian. There is no mainstream description that I'm aware of calling them Christian Terrorists. Indeed, some of the excuses I've personally heard are that those KKK members are "Not really Christian". Yet no such 'relief' is given to Islam..

Very funny, Debra.

(I have the 2001 version (Z3). This one is much prettier.)

Have you ever reread you own posts? Hate filled one and all.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chair Sharon Day released the following statement celebrating Christmas:

“Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King.

I agree with what you are saying here but the people responsible for deciding what to do about 'Islamic terrorism' ARE looking at it as if the Islamists doing the terrorism are just "political opportunists and thugs using religion as a cover for their real motivations". That is utterly ignorant Bull ****.

W abstained on res for Gaza ceasefire, infuriating Israel. Reagan voted to condemn Osirak. Don't remember them being called antisemites.
