monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

As "America First"-affiliated militias spring up across the country...

Although the eugenics movement included some who had racist ideas...

Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things just marked when they're born. That to me is the greatest sin -- that people can -- can commit.

...the purpose of eugenics was to improve the human race by having people be more healthy through exercise, recreation in parks, marriage to someone free from sexually transmitted diseases, well-baby clinics, immunizations, clean food and water, proper nutrition, non-smoking and drinking.

You must admit it's funny when he gets so angry

As it happened, Lewandowski lived in a townhouse he shared with a former Trump-campaign operative who worked at the same government agency as the official Porter dated. The townhouse belonged to Citizens United, the conservative group run by veteran right-wing agitator David Bossie,

I don't agree however that the book is closed on Sanger, despite the official edict of Politifact

Sanger worked with African American leaders and professionals who saw a need for birth control in their communities. In 1929, James H. Hubert, a black social worker and the leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[75] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with black doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of black doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press as well as in black churches, and it received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, the co-founder of the NAACP and the editor of its magazine, The Crisis.[76][77][78][79] Sanger did not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor would she tolerate any refusal to work within interracial projects.[80] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[81]

From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role—alongside Mary Lasker and Clarence Gamble—in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor black people.[82] Sanger, over the objections of other supervisors, wanted the Negro Project to hire black ministers in leadership roles. To emphasize the benefits of hiring black community leaders to act as spokesmen, she wrote to Gamble:

We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population[my italics], and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.

New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project says that though the letter would have been meant to avoid the mistaken notion that the Negro Project was a racist campaign, conspiracy theorists have fraudulently attempted to exploit the quotation "as evidence she led a calculated effort to reduce the black population against their will".

McCabe said he was authorized to leak and that Comey knew about it. Who else was available to give the Deputy Director that authorization except for the Director?

Finally, 21 paragraphs into this story, Selk gets around to admitting that the Fox hosts the President was referencing “may have a point regardless.” He admits that McCabe’s statement “raises questions” about Comey’s testimoney last year… “even if it does not directly contradict it.”

Seriously? If it doesn’t contradict it, what’s the alternate explanation? One of these two people were lying. Either Comey lied under testimony or McCabe is lying now to cover his backside. Either way, the people that require fact checking aren’t Trump or the hosts of Fox & Friends. It’s the FBI. But fact checking them probably doesn’t generate as many clicks for the Washington Post.

I trust we all grasp that if a serious constitutional crisis develops out of the Meuller investigation and the WH's response to it or its findings, the militia dudes and the NRA types who use "well-regulated militia" to protect America against the acts of a anti-constitutional tyrant heading up government as a justification for their gun fetishes, are going to come down solidly behind Trump. That is, and we should be clear and honest about this, these people will attach their allegiance to the leader of the state.

You think so? I am not mad at anyone. It is only your insecurity that taints your limited and controlled feelings. And as far as local kids, none are victims of grooming gangs. And if they were I would say something or do something about it.
Next.

So when Jeff Sessions maneuvers his way around a Senator's question it's blatant lying but when Comey does it's what? Clever? Acceptable?

Republican leaders’ efforts to stop Pennsylvania from using a new congressional district map in midterm elections were dealt a potentially fatal blow Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court and a panel of federal judges both ruled against them.

The courts rejected requests to throw out or halt use of the map imposed last month by the state Supreme Court, which had ruled that a 2011 GOP-crafted district map violated the state constitution’s guarantee of free and equal elections.

We ought not to get carried away with Alito-enthusiasm.

Justice Alito, then Barry’s colleague on the appeals court, did not join Barry’s opinion, which he called “unnecessary” and “obsolete,” instead just ruling that the Supreme Court’s decision on partial-birth abortion governed the lower courts.

It’s one thing to say we shouldn’t hold this judicial opinion against Trump because he’s just praising his sister. (Even then, one might wish he would suggest that he had a different view.) But Justice Alito didn’t join that opinion and was right not to join it, and Trump is mistaken in suggesting otherwise.
