A day after testifying to the House Intelligence Committee that she occasionally lied in her job as White House Communications Director (just little ol’ “white lies,” she said), Hope Hicks is now resigning. I’d say “suddenly resigning,” but she claims she’s been considering it for a while and given this crew of villains it might even be true.
Next comes the book deal announcement.
Yeah, Hope’s been considering resignation for awhile now…to a non-extradition country.

While it gives me pause, it also gives me hope that we can rebuild and undo some of the kludge that has affected our country in regards to governance. Going to have to undo roughly 50 years of GOP ratfuckery and actually incorporate our ideals of good governance into actual law.

True. But they sure could send a wicked message to the people of Georgia by announcing they are going to look into a move. And that message would go right to the statehouse with everyone asking the Lt. Governor and Governor what the hell they are doing.
And, it is election year, though I am not sure who is running this year in Georgia.

Firearm-related injuries drop during NRA conventions
I think this says a lot more about diehard NRA members than gun owners in general
Nationally, the rate of firearm injury dropped from 1.5 per 100,000 on the dates adjacent to the convention to 1.2 per 100,000 during the convention itself. And in the state where the convention was held, the injury rate went from 1.9 down to 0.7 per 100,000.

There are 5MM total NRA members. Even assuming that Georgia has a higher percentage of those members, I can’t imagine that there would be much more than 150k, and that’s probably pushing it.

The biggest benefit is the conservatives only have one game and that is to lash out and criticize and blame everything on liberals and it is making them look real bad to America.

Religion evolves.
True story. There was one teacher at my old high school authorized to handle firearms on school property. He was an army sergeant and was the ROTC instructor. One morning a couple of students found him dead on the floor. He’d been shot in the head with a .22 rifle, which was lying next to him. The theory was that he’d been cleaning the rifle for rifle team practice and somehow had shot himself accidentally. There was also speculation that he’d done it on purpose, but I never could believe that someone who knew much about weapons would choose a .22 to commit suicide with.
But WTF, arm the teachers.

Eh, arguing policy is fine, personal attacks not so much (see SMOTI). But this line was interesting:
Suffering through a terrible crime gives a person no special insight into its causes, and Hogg has no special insight into its causes — or, frankly, into anything else.
That is an incredibly foolish line. He knew (or at least knew of) the shooter. He saw the weapons used to kill several people just like him. And beyond that, even if it doesn’t give you insight into the cause, it gives you insight into the - for lack of a better word - execution of those crimes. Hogg saw first hand the effect that the business end of semi-automatic weapons have on people. Talking about the tools of said crime when you’ve seen them in action is pretty fucking simple, isn’t it?

Isn’t a .22 the favorite size bullet for hit men, like those with the mob? I’ve heard a .22 can do a lot of damage inside a human head. Less noise and cleaner too.

I can see how it’s almost a criticism of those “using” Hogg in the debate. But it’s just not focused enough to get there and instead veers off to criticizing Hogg directly for being a 17 year old high school student, or something. And in doing so, it completely misses the point it was probably intending to make.
It also misses the entire point (probably on purpose) of the current gun control debate. That is: semi-automatic weapons are not appropriate for civilian use.

The effectiveness of self-inflicted gunshots is over-rated in the popular mind. About 16% survive at least as long as the trip to the hospital. My FIL used a .40, and lasted a week—long enough that his terminal cancer was, in fact, terminal.

You see a fair amount of this type of thing on cop dramas and in mystery novels, but what the actual stats are I have no idea. Even on TV the shooter usually fires a couple of rounds when using a small gun, to make sure. One of my favorite hitters is Clara Rinker, featured in three or four of John Sandford’s great “Prey” books. She uses mostly .22s, especially in ricochet-prone environments such as concrete stairwells. In “Certain Prey” she uses a silenced .22 and shoots the victim seven times in the head.

This adds to what Nicole Wallace and her guests were talking about this afternoon. They were saying you can tell Mueller has his target in sight and has been going back around and tying things together.
Extra pushing on Gates and Manafort, asking about Donny Jr. and the Russian hack of DNC and how that ties together, Revisiting if Trump has been constantly pushing on Sessions to quit, all fit that pattern.
And then there was the big surprise of the Russian hackers being identified. Which may have been the big reveal and why he went back to pushing on Manafort.
I’m sure hoping the target is who I am hoping it is, as we all are. But still too early to get too confident. Looking good though.
And another thought with what has gone down today.
Is Trump appearing to be tough on guns and may even try to push through legislation the NRA and Republican politicians will go nuts over a try to save his ass by looking Presidential? Maybe he thinks he can save his butt by pulling off something like gun control policy.

Hello Watergate!
Would it not be justice if that is what really does bring this administration down.
If that is where Miller really is (not discounting obstruction) all he needs is something like the 18 minutes of tape that brought Nixon down.

To elaborate: I never did heroin because of Keith Richards, but I was among many impressionable idiots who thought it was ok to get wasted when performing. Thankfully our drummer thought otherwise and wasn’t afraid to throw his sticks. Still, it took me awhile to realize the bullshit of that image that Keith and other rock performers presented when I was 13, 14—I mean that I didn’t realize it until I was in my late teens. I didn’t go to college so much to get smarter; I went to leave the dream of playing in a band and to save myself.

I think you are a couple of years older than I am, but there was plenty of blow around our local scene in downstate central Illinois in the late 70s and early 80s. I saw a couple of folks lose it. I know of at least one guy who was emulating Johnny Thunders (ironically, he’s ok and manages to hold it together as a bartender in NYC these days). But you’re right.

I went to college in ‘72 and really got into the bands then. Then I hung out with and had bands with friends from ‘78 to around ‘92. Still wrote and made self CDs up to four years ago with a full band setup. Now down to me (drums, guitar) and another guitarist and about 15 songs I’d love to record.
I do know what you talk about. I have been around of lot of people that were going in all kinds of directions. And as an art college student in the 70s, lord knows I was always around about every drug known to man.
I was just lucky that I never wanted to get all fucked up. If anything I just wanted to have fun and create.
One dear friend in an alt band that did a recording for Rick Rubin in my basement with my 8 track commited suicide a few years after nothing worked out for him like he had hoped working with Rubin. He went down a deep dark road. We all learned from that one as we should have seen it coming. That changed a lot of folks.
And yeah…alcohol. By far as corrosive as anything if taken to the extreme. I learned my lesson fairly early. A couple beers a week is about my extent…or a scotch or two if at a party, concert, etc.

Still, it took me awhile to realize the bullshit of that image that Keith and other rock performers presented when I was 13, 14—I mean that I didn’t realize it until I was in my late teens. I didn’t go to college so much to get smarter; I went to leave the dream of playing in a band and to save myself.
I did the opposite. I quit the U of M to play full time in a band to save my life. I wasn’t much of a stoner or drinker back then. I couldn’t play drums at all on pot. It wasn’t really until I quit playing and took a full time job that I became a full-on drunk. I had to quit drinking when I was 30.

I do. The fashion shooter I shared a photo studio with had her in for three or four jobs. She was … kinda different. Leaving after the first shoot she opened four different doors trying to find the door she’d come in through. On the second shoot, too. And that little voice. But, man, what a knockout.

We foreign teachers here have a little chat group on WeChat. One member, a woman who has served in the military for a number of years, made a derogatory remark about Trump in a Southern dialect rendered in text. Another teacher responded with this remark:
“Politics is just better left alone on this forum. We also have people here who think Mr Trump is doing an excellent job and is exactly what American needs to restore the country economically and strategically.”
FWIW, I think “people” refers only to that one guy, because we only have five Americans on staff, and four of us are anti-Trump.
The guy who posted that remark is a nice enough fellow, if a little odd in some ways. I’m surprised he is such a fanboi of Trump, because Trump is certainly doing nothing to improve the USA in any way, shape or form.
Aides for President Trump have compiled folders to keep track of attacks Republican lawmakers and others levy against the president, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
The newspaper reported that aides have documented criticisms made by Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and other detractors about the president.
In Corker’s case, they reportedly used the remarks to remind Trump of the senator’s past comments and convince him not to fully support Corker if he were to re-enter this year’s midterm race.
Aides reportedly reminded the president of the remarks to make sure he would not back the senator if he changed his mind. They said they did not want the feud brought back to the public’s attention, according to the Post.

Do we suppose that if Kushner’s business empire goes pftttt, that he and Ivanka have enough money squirreled away to keep living the high life? Presumably they are insulated from their real estate debts, but that business is likely the source of their income, along with a bit from Ivanka’s fashion line (which will also presumably go belly up when her name is a bit less sparkly.)

Trump complained about the AF1 project when it was set to cost $4 billion.
Boeing managed to find 2 747-8 planes that were already built and negotiated a deal with USAF to buy ‘em at discount. That’s where all the savings is coming from.
USAF lucked into this because a Russian airline went bankrupt and the planes were never delivered to the airline. Boeing had them in storage and the company will now use the airframe as basis for the new AF1s.
The savings is that they’re able to build out the planes sooner.
Trump had absolutely nothing to do with wringing out any savings here.
It was luck that Boeing had the planes on hand.

Trump has been highly leveraged for years, and Kushner’s been on the razor’s edge himself with his properties leveraged to the hilt.

This stuff is weeks old by now. Saying they failed to “breach” the test walls is taking a bit of liberty with the term “breach”.
They tried to scale the wall using ropes and grappling hook. And, to bust through with hand tools. They did not attempt to tunnel underneath, nor use mechanical or kinetic breaching techniques.
I wonder if they were told by someone higher up not to try *too* hard to breach the wall.
You know, I’m really starting to miss the days when I could go away for a solid day of work and an evening of playing music and not have yet another major corruption scandal break while I was disconnected from the news.

I must admit, I am half sarcastically wondering why they didn’t have some Mexicans try and breach the wall.

I’m 25% Mexican and I breached the wall. Got a great deal on Aeromexico.

I was listening to “Grenade” by Bruno Mars a few days ago and damn if it doesn’t sum up Trump and his supporters well:
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah yeah)
Throw my head on a blade for ya (yeah yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah yeah)
Oh whoa oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for you baby
But you won’t do the same
Definitely Trump would never lift a finger to help one of his supporters, unless it benefited him in some financial way or polished his public image in some way.
I almost forgot to post this. Yesterday was the Arizona District 8 Congressional special election primary to replace Trent Franks.

It seems worth stating that any ONE of the half-dozen recent Jared Kushner stories would prompt immediate dismissal for a staffer in any other White House.

If we can’t talk about gun control, can we at least talk about preferred positions and techniques gun-fuckers use for their gun-fucking?
A day later and conservatives are still running with the lie.
You’re late to the party. Colton’s father has now admitted that he edited the text of the CNN producer’s email before forwarding it to news outlets, removing the part that made it clear Colton had submitted the question himself. Colton is a liar.

Sometimes I wish we could just exile the wingnuts to a deserted island somewhere and let them duke it out amongst themselves Hunger Games style while the rest of us rebuild the country.

Yes! Hope Hicks, true believer, got jettisoned after she admitted that she told little white lies. Which meant she lied like a Persian rug to in a public forum. Adios, third daughter!
