@Finn dAbuzz,
Translation: You can't because all you ever do is take cheap shots at people with whom you disagree--even those dead for more than 90 years.

You're pathetic, but we already knew that.

Hoping it clears by tonight. Quite heavy rain and storms this morning. Nice and cool, though.

@Builder,
So beautiful and clear here. Took a pic, but the light was distorted.

Nothing like the big full moon.

Russian interference into the 2016 has not been proven.

It's being investigated by various bodies. What has been proven is that various Trump campaign aides, including his son, met with Russian officials which Emails prove was for the purpose of Russia supplying the Trump campaign with damaging material on Hillary which no doubt was obtained by Russian intelligence services. Not to mention the fact that the Trump campaign and Administration is or was infested with Putin lovers like Bannon, whose Breitbart website considers Vlad a hero and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross who came to the Trump campaign straight from his job as director of a Cypress bank which laundered money for Russian oligarchs. Then there is Carter Page, a "foreign policy advisor" with ties to Russia and who gave info, (not classified) to a Russian spy ring. Let us not forget Paul Manafort, who collected millions of dollars from the Kremlin's puppet Ukrainian party and who is under contract to a Russian oligarch to promote Russian interests in the West. How about Mike Flynn, whose Russian connections run deep and wide, Attorney General Jeff Sessions who lied repeatedly to Congress about meeting Russian Ambassador Sergei Kisylak at the Trump nominating convention. Oh yeah, by the way, if Trump isn't in deep with the Russians, what the hell WAS Russian Ambassador Sergei Kisylak even doing at Trump's nominating convention? Know of any other president who invited officials of America's enemy to their conventions?

This is gathering momentum on social media today.

“People who lost money when the Stock Market went down 350 points based on the False and Dishonest reporting of Brian Ross of @ABC News (he has been suspended), should consider hiring a lawyer and suing ABC for the damages this bad reporting has caused - many millions of dollars!” Trump said on Twitter.

Maybe a class action is what it will take to make reporters more cautious about their sources in today's rather fragile market.

@glitterbag,
It was very bright over the skies of Southampton last night. No stars though, just a big sodding moon.

Apparently next month's will be even bigger. (Called a wolf moon because that's when the native Americans say hungry wolves howling at the moon.)

There was a moon bloke on BBC news yesterday. He said most moon names are derived from N Am folklore. A blue moon is when a month has two full moons, which is quite rare, as in once in a blue moon.

As if there were some significance to this inane piece of information.

This, not surprisingly, is a really stupid idea. Not surprisingly, Builder chose to share it and include some positive commentary of his own. No one "lost money"; only idiots rush to liquefy their holdings when their value falls. If anything, with stock prices artificially depressed, smart investors would be buying up bargains while thanking Brian Ross.

Spoken like a true vulture capitalist.

Is this what you speak about with your church buddies on a Sunday?

How'd you fare in the bankster heist in 07-8?

You don't say? There's actually someone interested in something other than paedophilia working there?

That will be next month. A full moon, and a so-called super moon on the 1st and on the 31st will entertain those with cold, cold, clear skies and frustrate those with overcast.

@glitterbag,
What a peevish little anger ball you always are. You must be so miserable.

The picture

distorted the the bright light from the moon.

Go back to your drink. Drunk

Bitchy about the moon... I do appreciate the feeling you leave me with after one of these encounters. Sincere gratitude I'm not you.

@Cycloptichorn,
Quote:
the narrative of 'both parties are equally bad'

A page or two back, hightor quoted a letter/op ed from Ornstein and Mann on precisely this matter. They are congressional scholars.

Lash doesn't forward a political ideology that replicates Sanders. She forwards a rhetorical strategy that reflects the sort of diversionary (and confusion-making, if it achieves it's aims) tactics employed by Bannon. Differentiation, attention to facts and careful thinking are the targets of this strategy. As in...

"Everyone has bad thoughts" - Charles Manson
"Everyone lies" - WH spokesperson

It is sickening, and it's the worst case of that special style of corruption known as grafting that I've seen in my lifetime.

Yes. And this is becoming increasingly institutionalized as time passes. And the speed at which this change is happening is accelerating. I've never been so doubtful and concerned about what the US will look like just four years up the road.

@snood,
Despite all Blickers' words, that narrative leads back to my statement: Russian interference in the 2016 election has not been proven.

We do know Hillary Clinton claimed something like 26 agencies agreed Russia had interfered with the election, but we all know facts forced her to back down from that lie.

So,...still waiting....

And THAT is a fact.
