Not gone. Just more selective in what I do these days.
Apparently the Circular Firing Squad is in full flight in the Mad House after someone noted the Emporer was a naked, start raving mad looney who needed very close attention if the rest of us are going to live longer and happier lives.
Just another day in paradise folks.
‘The sleeper cells have awoken’: Trump, aides shaken by op-ed piece
Send via Email
Washington: President Donald Trump and his aides have reacted with indignation to an unsigned opinion column from a senior official blasting the president's "amorality" and launched a frantic hunt for the author, who claims to be part of a secret "resistance" inside the government protecting the nation from its commander in chief.
The extraordinary column, published anonymously in the New York Times, surfaced one day after the first excerpts emerged from Bob Woodward's new book, in which Trump's top advisers painted a devastating portrait of the president and described a "crazytown" atmosphere inside the White House.
Taken together, they landed like a thunder clap, portraying Trump as a danger to the country that elected him and feeding the president's paranoia about who around him he can trust.

If the Don was about to press the nuclear trigger because a country turned down his request to put a golf course on a National Park one would hope that someone would try and stop him.

"George Papadopoulos, the Trump campaign adviser who triggered the Russia investigation, was sentenced to 14 days in prison on Friday (local time) by a judge who said he had placed his own interests above those of the country ......
Papadopoulos, who served as a foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump's campaign, has been a central figure in the Russia investigation dating back before Mueller's May 2017 appointment. He was the first to plead guilty in Mueller's probe and is now the first Trump campaign adviser to be sentenced."

Liked the sign.
Everything the fbi tried charging him with was prior to his involvement with Trump."George Papadopoulos, the Trump campaign adviser who triggered the Russia investigation, was sentenced to 14 days in prison on Friday (local time) by a judge who said he had placed his own interests above those of the country ......

As soon as he thought there was going to be an issue he was off the Trump team.
And you know what they ended up getting him with: lying to the fbi.
Thats right jailed for not cooperating with the fbi. Huge charges there

Sort of sums it up doesn't ? Here we have one of the most venal, corrupt and dangerous US Presidents of all time getting called out by a member of his own staff who points out they are saving us from some of the most dangerous Presidental actions and
1) Il Presidente says this is TREASON!!
2) The peanut gallery sings in unison.
Why not just make him President for life, give him powers of succcession, offer total immunity, declare Trump Law, suspend the Constitution and jail the Press for TREASON. That be enough?

What evidence is there that this even happened? Those quoted fired back that they never said what was in the book and that its fiction.
I see a lot of lefty screeching but not much evidence. Media telling lies with supposed "anonymous sources". Or outright lies.
Multiple billionaires donating (bribing) for anyone to come out with dirt. And funding leftist loon hate groups.
Russian collusion theory that is full of holes and looks a lot like a dnc setup.
I was expecting papadopoulos to get 20 years the way the media was talking. Instead it was just 14 days from an fbi "perjury trap".

Trump did actually called for the imprisonment, banning etc. of those despicable "protestors" being so rude at the confirmation hearing for "his" pick to to the Supreme Court.
Apparently those lefties didn't get the memo his White House sent to American CEOs about how great Kavanaugh is for big business. They only get to read his record on excusing torture, war crimes, racial profiling, ending women's rights etc.
If Chairman Kim, president Xi and president Putin won't put up with any protest, why should prsident Trump? We're better than all those countries aren't we, he thought.
If there is evidence to the contrary then put it up and I'll consider it. But so far its just media bs. If you cut through the sht there isn't much left. And bugger all evidence.
Kavanaugh is actually a respected judge. The dems are grandstanding before midterms.
Excusing war crimes?
He was asked about the Constitution and how far they were in the grey area with the framework from memory.
He has being grilled for the last few days. If anyone looks stupid its the Democrats and their inane questioning.
Read up the transcripts.

He was under Bush Jr's AG Gonzalez. The two of them got to rip up quite a few US Constitutional clauses. Stuff like a US citizen having the right to be tried in a court under their peers; stuff on US treaty being the law of the land... that's idiotic if it stops you from torturing "bad guys" or taking out entire buildings full of them.
So now, any US president can declare a US citizen "a bad guy" and that "Muslim" can have their rights, or their life, taken away; sent off somewhere to be dealt with.
Torture is a war crime. So is taking out people you think might, maybe, one day, in the future, possibly, do you harm. Imagine if we all get to pre-emptively take out anyone who doesn't like us, talk nicely about us, possibly take our stuff we if aren't careful.
Then there's all that spying, surveillance on US citizens. Ey, if you don't do anything "bad", what's there to hide.
But you're right that the Democrats are playing political theatre with these hearings. That douche Booker... talk about Obama-lite.

Facts predicated on innuendo and fantasy don't really cut as facts.
For any of us to make a value judgement of Trump corruption we need verifiable facts and they won't avail themselves to date.
Bush was as bad as Obama. In fact they were basically on the same page with continuing a lot of stuff.
Judges are often drafted in on their expertise with the Constitution. I'm sure Kavanaugh was friendly to the bush camp though.
I have no doubt all sides would love to follow the bits of the constitution they love. And get rid of the bits they don't like.
