True. Condolence messages ought to be formulaic: he should have left off the bit after “…if people understand politics…”. I’m guessing he meant to have it read as a compliment to the late Rep.

Daily Kos commissioned a poll in VA. Here are the results:
Today, Daily Kos announced key findings from a statewide survey of Virginians commissioned through Civiqs. The poll of 868 registered voters was conducted online from Feb. 5-8 and reveals a strong preference that Gov. Ralph Northam resign (60 percent)—including among Democrats (58 percent) and independents (52 percent). An even stronger 64 percent of black voters think Northam should resign, and 56 percent of respondents who voted for him in 2017 now say he needs to go. Additionally, even in light of the controversies surrounding the Democratic governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general, Virginians still favor Democratic candidates (46 percent) to Republicans (38 percent) in this fall’s legislative elections.
868 give a MOE of +-10, IIRC, but that’ still pretty close for him.

New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Trump Inaugural
“A spokesman confirmed that the nonprofit 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee paid the Trump International Hotel a rate of $175,000 per day for event space — in spite of internal objections at the time that the rate was far too high. If the committee is deemed by auditors or prosecutors to have paid an above-market rate, that could violate tax laws prohibiting self-dealing, according to experts.”
“Tax law prohibits nonprofits from paying inflated prices to entities that are owned by people who also control or influence the nonprofit’s activities.”

What is being accomplished with this hearing? He’s not answering questions. Dismiss him, subpoena him, and lock him up when he’s in contempt.
Reset the clock. School shooting in Baltimore. There was a school safety officer present. In fact, there were three police officers, and none of them pulled a gun when they apprehended the shooter.
But, he said, the shooting fuels his argument that all school police officers in Baltimore should be allowed to carry their service weapons while on the job.
Last month, the Baltimore school board unanimously voted to oppose a measure that would have allowed school police officers to carry weapons during the day. Under current law, city schools police officers are allowed to carry their guns while patrolling the exterior of school buildings before and after school hours. But they are required to store their weapons in a secure location during the day.
“We predicted that this would happen, that an outsider would come into a school and produce a handgun and shoot a staff member or student,” Boatwright said. “I wonder how that 10-0 vote feels now?”
On Friday, Douglass’ assigned police officer was unarmed as usual, Boatwright said. But the officer happened to be joined by two other police — his area supervisors — who were carrying their weapons and attending a conference.
“They heard the gun shots and the three of them ran to the location and physically fought the suspect in order to get the gun from him and take him into custody,” Boatwright said. “It was just by chance, thankfully, that these supervisors were there. If they weren’t, there would have been no good guy with the tools available to stop the threat.”
District spokeswoman Edie House-Foster said no officer pulled out his firearm during the encounter.
Wow, the vitriol coming from Candace Owens in this thread. https://t.co/gg5lUYAyEZ

Gotta love the “Working hard”. Never mind competence—I would be shocked to learn that he works more than 1% as much as the laziest President since Coolidge at least. Maybe 5% of Coolidge….
He’s physically lazy, he’s intellectually lazy yet they insult us repeatedly by claiming no one’s worked harder than he is. That’s a load of shit. And that is part of why I hate Trump and his handlers so much. Everything has to be the best ever with him.

What drives me crazy is adding an inch onto his height to make him 6’3” after years of being 6’2” - no doubt for purposes of BMI calculation.
He’s my age. I used to be 5’10” and now I am 5’8.5” - no way he is much over 6’.
I notice it says 6’2” on my Driver’s License, which I first got 50 years ago. I grew an inch after that and have shrunk an inch since then, so I’m no longer lying….

As easy as it is to just think she’s an idiot and blame it on education, one can’t do that. Because Candece and I are close to the same age. And we do learn about the unrest of Weimar Germany that Hitler rose to power in. We do learn about Kristllanacht. We do learn about the many German Jews including the family of Anne Frank that had to flee. Sad to say though, this opinion of hers isn’t unique. But someone should seriously troll her and ask her what the problem with Venezuela is. Maduro isn’t expanding into other countries and the Soviet Union under Stalin didn’t get expansionist until the invasion of Finland and the Baltic States.
