If we’re having a parade to say “Thank You” to our men & women in uniform, they should be the ones sitting in the stands, eating popcorn & drinking beer, watching the floats go by & all the Republican congresspeople should be marching, in clown costumes. #TheResistance

When you’re a guy, it’s easy to disbelieve allegations of abuse against another guy, because you’d never have seen it. Abusers save the abuse for more private settings. It’s one reason they get away with it - knowing how and when to do it so nobody knows.
Disbelief is one thing. Calling his victims ‘character assassins’ - that’s a whole ‘nother thing.

re: #94 Interesting Times
I’m so old, I remember when Kristol and Rubin were Republicans.
To be honest, when I found out/was reminded that Nov. 11 this year is the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI*, I thought that a military parade of some sort to mark this notable date might be some sort of appropriate reminder.
Personally, I would prefer it to be something of a period piece: a battalion or so of soldiers in campaign hats and puttees close-order marching behind some Model T trucks, with a horse-cavalry detachment, and maybe a few teams pulling some French 75s. Who of course would halt right at 11:11am, and stand for a minute of silence as a tribute to the 116,000 or so Americans** (and who-knows-how-many-millions-of others) who died in that awful conflict.
But of course, Donald Trump has to have a hand in it, and as usual, it makes even the best idea turn to shit: what might otherwise be “sold” as a respectful Centennial memorial for the First World War just HAS to turned into a ego-boosting public spectacle for The Donald’s pathetic preening: and of course, all of it wrapped in the faux-holy rhetoric of “honoring The Troops” to try to deflect any criticism.
* of the combat on the Western Front at least: books like this remind us that fighting (often quite bloody fighting) went on on the peripheries for another 5 years or so.
** Figures for US casualties in WWI seem amazingly variable: this is just more-or-less the best “died in the war” number I could find.

re: #91 Ace-o-aces
I don’t understand how Rob Porter could have been handling all the paper flow to the president, handling all his documents, and not had a security clearance politi.co
And if you’re just a normie, you’re sweating your security clearance application, trying to figure out where you lived for two months five years ago and who to call about that, when exactly you got that speeding ticket two years ago, and if you need to report that you’ve been Facebook friends with the Irish girl you met last year. And if you got this stuff wrong, you could jeopardize your clearance and your entire career. Meanwhile, these criminal assholes are tossing top secret information around with no scrutiny whatsoever.

He’s got RICO and financial crimes specialists. He’s got FISA specialists. He’s got subject matter experts for all of those various aspects. His lawyers are better than Trump’s team, especially as we’ve seen thus far.
Mueller also has better operational security around the grand juries and their workflow than the WH does, which leaks like a sieve.
None of this bodes well for Trump or any of his cronies, which is why they’re so desperate to smear and undermine the Mueller probe. The facts will out that Trump and his criminal syndicate were up to no good all along.

Two guys are in a bar, and strike up a conversation. After a while, one of them says, “Look, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I can’t help noticing that your mouth seems very small, and you have almost no lips.”
The other guy says, “No, no! I’m not offended! I used to weigh 500 lbs, but I went on a strict diet and exercise regimen, and lost 300 lbs. I felt great, but i had all this loose skin, just hanging off me. I went to a plastic surgeon, and what he did was to pull all the loose skin up to the top of my head, then he tied it up like a purse string, and cut off the excess.
“So, what is now my mouth used to be my belly button.”
“That’s amazing!” said the other guy. “That explains why it’s so small!”
“If you think that’s amazing,” replied the former fat man, “You should see what I wear for a necktie.”

I saw him with The Attractions at the Ritz in NYC around the time of ‘This Year’s Model.’
He’s written some great songs since then. You gotta wonder how he picks a set list at this point, there’s just so much to choose from.
Hoping for primo tickets - the Capitol Theater in Port Chester is a great venue. We saw Dylan there last Spring.
Yeah. When I saw him in ‘07 he did about two solid hours or more. He got a lot in, but like you said, there is just so much material. He was doing a lot of “When I was Cruel” and “The Delivery Man.” I also saw him around 1982 or so and he did Imperial Bedroom and a ton of his early stuff. So luckily I got to hear a bunch of his material with the two shows.
Side fact. The guy that played bass in many of the bands I was in worked for the Columbus Dispatch and took the photo of Costello that was used in many national newspapers. Why was the photo used? It was the concert before Costello got in the famous fight at the downtown Columbus Holiday Inn bar during a drunken conversation with Stephen Stills and Bonnie Bramlett when he said some not nice things about Ray Charles. My buddy was right there in the bar trying to get some time with Elvis.
This photo…

And who’s going to complain when it’s over? The parade might boost the D.C. economy, and will have put the nation’s capital and its military capabilities, at least for a day, in the international spotlight. The only ones who will be sour are the Democrats, who will have discovered that Trump, contrary to their beliefs and hopes, is not a buffoon. Or at least not a total one.

Anthony Weiner’s contacts with the promise of more to come. The most popular theory is that the leak was perpetrated by a rogue FBI agent.

Bitcoin is booming today after the US Senate discussed the possible introduction of new laws to combat the volatility of cryptocurrency and stop digital currencies from being used by scammers and terrorists. This morning, the price of Bitcoin soared by almost a third and all the other major cryptocurrencies also showed price growth too. The price of one Bitcoin is now sitting at just under $8,000 (£5,744) after skyrocketing from a low yesterday of just over $6,000 (£4,308). The surge may have been prompted by a US Senate hearing on virtual currencies in which Jay Clayton, chairman at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said: ‘We may be back with our friends from Treasury and the Fed to ask for additional legislation.’ If America imposes strict new rules on the trading of Bitoin - but doesn’t ban it outright - it would make the notoriously wild and unruly cryptocurrency markets more stable.Read more: metro.co.uk

Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!

BREAKING: FBI investigation of Border Patrol agent’s death finds no evidence of homicide, with signs pointing to accident. President Trump had claimed agent was “killed” as evidence of need for border wall https://t.co/YiTzEUTudx

re: #294 Targetpractice
Tomi (of course) helps illustrate the reality at the core of wingnut opposition to DACA and any program that would provide amnesty for undocumented immigrants: That no matter how much they assimilate, no matter how much they and their children work towards the American Dream, no matter how much they will resemble the pasty white fucks who take “pride” in tracing their ancestry back to the poor schmucks who fell off the boat centuries earlier…they will never be “Americans.” They will always be outsiders, they will always be looked down upon, and they will never be seen as anything than the “cause” of America’s problems.

They fell into a deep, (>10’) concrete lined open-topped box drain off Interstate 10 in the middle of Bumfuck County, Texas after midnight. I was in Alpine when it happened. You can’t see SHIT out there at night.

No they haven’t. You’re talking about your delusion. Shut off whatever propagandists damaged you.

Trumpublicans are insane.
Chopped avocado with Ethiopian berbere tastes great.
If I weren’t counting calories, I’d throw in niter kibbeh (seasoned clarified butter) and it would be insane.

I’m now waiting for old-man Trump to apologize for politicizing this to promote racism. I won’t hold by breath.

re: #260 Charles Johnson
Calling CNN fake news seems to have worked out fine for Trump. They keep bending over backwards to normalize him no matter how foolish they look doing so.
