@blatham,
seems that gunga's views are variants of the "BETTER RED THAN DEAD", rather than "WOOOLVERIIINES!!!"

@blatham,
I'm not so sure, in one interview today he remarked that he did have faith in the intelligence agencies......half a beat.......as they are currently constituted. To me sounds like he plans to reorganize one or more of the institutions that annoy him.

America is a very legalistic society, in which public discussion often deteriorates into lawyers arguing about whether any statutes have been violated. But confronting the country in the wake of Helsinki is this question: Can it afford to wait to ascertain why Trump has subordinated himself to Putin after the president has so abjectly demonstrated that he has subordinated himself? Robert Mueller is leading a legal process. The United States faces a national-security emergency.

Trump is manifestly violating his oath to the American people. He is a turncoat and has become a clear and present danger to the United States. Even if he turns out not to have conspired with Putin to win the WH, his allegiance is to Putin.

@blatham,
Apropos of nada, I worry about David From....he looks like a man with a broken heart. Just my observation, I'm not trying to throw shade at Frum.

Perhaps he's on board with the Ann Coulter idea - dissolve the FBI.

@glitterbag,
There was a time when I despised Frum. He worked for Conrad Black, then went down south and got seduced by Perle and Cheney and others in the neocon community. My opinion of him began to change when he began to offer up opinions that countered the desired narrative at AEI and they booted him out (in 2010). Since then, he has gradually become a serious and smart independent voice. But as to your impression of him, I suspect that might be caused by certain oddnesses in his face. He's always looked rather morose.

@glitterbag,
But only after the parade!

Which is going to cost only $18 million.

I’d love some polling action on voters nationwide.
I read about former Obama voters who voted for Trump; #DemExit people; old conservatives who have left the GOP.

I don’t think we know our voting public anymore.

In lieu of a poll, I take this as a sign that Dem Socialism is growing rapidly. Bernie is shaking up Kansas.

http://amp.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article215094875.html?__twitter_impression=true

A Friday political rally featuring former Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders and rising progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been moved to the Century II Convention and Performing Arts Center after rapidly outgrowing its original venue at the Orpheum.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are coming to Wichita to stump for Democratic congressional candidate James Thompson.

The campaign had planned on rallying at the Orpheum Theatre downtown, which can accommodate a crowd of 1,400.

But the number of sign-ups for tickets exceeded capacity within 10 hours of the announcement, said campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Yeager.

At the Century II, “we can go all the way up to 5,000 if we need to,” Yeager said. “There’s been overwhelming interest . . . and we want to try to accommodate everybody who wants to come.”

With the larger venue, the campaign is no longer requiring tickets be obtained in advance and is inviting anyone who wants to, to come, she said.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are expected to speak at 1 p.m. at Century II, 225 W. Douglas. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and Yeager suggested people show up early to get the best seats.

Sanders, an independent U.S. senator from Vermont and self-described democratic socialist, energized hordes of progressive Democrats and filled stadiums across America for his rallies as he sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2016.

Although he lost to eventual nominee Hillary Clinton, Sanders emerged as a hugely popular figure and symbol of resistance for progressive and Democratic voters upset with Donald Trump’s administration.

Joining Sanders will be Ocasio-Cortez, a congressional candidate from New York who recently vaulted into the national spotlight with an uncompromisingly progressive primary campaign that unseated incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley, the House Democratic Caucus chairman.

Thompson lost last year to Republican Rep. Ron Estes in a special election to replace former District 4 Rep. Mike Pompeo. Pompeo resigned to join the Trump administration as CIA director and was later promoted to secretary of state.

Thompson is running against Laura Lombard of Wichita in the Aug. 7 Democratic primary.

@blatham,
I always adored David Frum's mother. She got me through hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours of homework. She had the absolute best laugh and was a good, tough and very human journalist. I think she'd be interested in where his thinking has taken him. I think she'd be proud that he could take new information on board, distill it, and admit he had changed his mind on some things. He is an old-school conservative. Not a Robert Stanfield or Flora MacDonald (much much missed) conservative perhaps, but maybe a Hugh Segal.

That is a nail driven with one strike. For that it has to be hit squarely on the head. Outstanding. Think you'll get an answer?

Why are you spamming others opinions when you could post an article and give your own opinion? Do you have one?
