Prosecute him but only after you do the same to Hillary and all the other Zerobots.

Sounds like fake news to me, but we'll consider it a matter.

Politico: where the Uniparty goes to tattle on people about meaningless crap.

Miss Marple the Deplorable

What it means is that someone official is possibly looking into Hillary's emails and this is a pre-emptive "everybody does it" story.

I trust nothing Politico writes, personally.

 narciso.

This is the same politico, that made excuses for accountability to lerner who went into zapruder film level detail re prices charters which involved got charters. Frock them.

Clarice,

It's the same trick they used for Betsy DaVos flying in a private jet, which she owns and pays for.

"Betsy DaVos has been flying in a private jet!! Scandal!"

"Jared Kushner has a private email account!" (Just like Hillary you are supposed to think.)

That's why I hate Politico.

an old comment -

Just so we're clear when there is a Republican administration...

From now on every SoS can have their own private, off-site computer setup so they can connect with ONLY their own chosen crew & do whatever they want with no interference.

No more prosecutions for mishandling classified info either. Who cares about that anymore. It apparently doesn't make any difference.

And lying at Congressional hearings is a-okay.

The IRS may demand info on all opposition party organizations. They can obstruct & deny applications & hold them in limbo.

All Department heads can have phony email setups using made-up names like, Richard Windsor or Toby Miles or Diane Reynolds or Elizabeth Carlisle or Henry Yearwood or David Kendricks or Lew Alcindor to avoid FOIA requests.

A Republican administration will be able to regulate-out-of-existence all businesses it dislikes. It can demand no regulations on businesses it approves of.

The fourth verse of the National Anthem has always been my favorite. At least ever since I learned of its existence.

I would like to think it is a favorite of many veterans because they see their service as payment toward a debt they owe to this country.

As a result, I honestly don't know whether to despise or pity the kneelers, but I'm done with the NFL

This is a long article by Stanley Greenberg

When you read this, you can see that Greenberg had spotted some of the difficulties f her campaign early on, but what comes through to me in this article is that none of the people working for Clinton were very bright and they were completely out of touch with voters.

Porchlight and I read a lot of those campaign emails Wikileaks released and I believe she would agree with me that above all else, you were struck by how boring and stupid most of the people on the campaign seemed to be.

Of seriously, among other things they traded politico links as if it was the golden calf, in addition to the petty score settling and the occasional actual nugget of fact.

Having Jamie Gorelick as a lawyer won't serve Kushner well.

He remains on my "do not trust" list for that one reason.

Cowboys haven't commented on what they are going to do at tomorrow's game. One of the local channels is doing a poll and 65% disapprove of the players actions. None of the players on the Texans team took a knee. #Texasrocks I'll be shocked if the Cowboys allow it.

The bozo at the NRO Corner failed to quote the lines preceding "hireling and slave." It's obvious that it refers to the British soldiers, who Americans probably (and rightly) considered to be mercenaries and conscripts, not volunteers like our militias.

In light of Hillary grandstanding about sending the Navy, and MSM talking heads like this creep at MSNBC damning the Government, a company I am familiar with just sent out this update on the situation in decimated Puerto Rico that I think you guys will find interesting:

The situation in Puerto Rico remains extremely fluid, but as of today, we have landed our first relief flight in San Juan. This flight was boarded with over 160,000 lbs of supplies...water, MRE's and crew snacks, for our company personnel living in Puerto Rico. Our ramp continues to be powered by generators and manned by a skeleton crew. Communication remains problematic as well. Yesterday we were able to transfer 7 Global telephones up from South America and are in company personnel's hands now. When we receive word from SJU managers that the supplies have been distributed and they are able to receive an additional flight, flight ops will be ready to launch another flight. Currently, SJU ATC is only able to accept 3 aircraft/hour.
BQN remains closed except for military and hurricane relief flights. Our BQN ramp is closed and will re-open when all personnel are able to travel to the ramp safely.

Miss Marple the Deplorable

Good morning, all!

daddy,

I don't think anything enraged me lately as much as seeing Hillary saying the President should send the military to Puerto Rico and flagging Secretary Mattis about it in her tweet, like no one was doing anything.

First of all, it was an absolute lie (like we should be surprised) as the last I saw we had multiple Navy ships, coast Guard cutters, helicopters, and cargo transport planes there.

Secondly, FEMA is on the ground there and is coordinating everything. It's hard to get news out due to the cell phone towers being down.

Here's an article detailing the current state of things:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-dam-failing-puerto-rico-20170923-story.html

Here is something interesting from that article:

Rossello and other officials praised the federal government for planning its response in detail before the storm hit, a contrast with what Puerto Rico has long seen as the neglect of 3.4 million Americans living in a territory without a vote in Congress or the electoral college.

"This is the first time we get this type of federal coordination," said Resident Commission Jenniffer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico's non-voting representative in Washington."

What? They are being treated BETTER and they are PRAISING the Trump Administration? How could that be? Well, in that case, disappear any news about this and let's move on to talking about how Trump is racist.

From a quick view of the news this morning it appears that the new line of attack is something along the lines of 'Americans are suffering in Puerto Rico but the racist administration is doing nothing to help them.'

And now, a few words from Black Rifle Coffee Company:

Bubarooni,

There is no doubt that that line of attack is a democrat coordinated one.

They are taking advantage of the communications being down so that they can create their own mythology about the disaster.

Get in K-cups and first thing I do when I get up is make a cup. I don't think those guys kneel for the anthem.

It may even be a good idea to have one of them at every game or at least the guy with the flame thrower.

MM's 6:36 is more evidence why we all missed a bullet last November. Good Lord is that skank tone-deaf or what? Chelsea must be writing those tweets for her.

TLG-your mentioning the Texans where no one took a new reminded me of the time the owner's family rented a house where my son worked for the beach service. He comes home at lunch (boy could eat 4 grilled ham and cheese and then microwave lasagna hence the human eating machine nickname) and looked up macnair.

He was so sure he would get a good tip doing the multiple umbrella and chairs all week for a billionaire. It was $20 or $30, but nothing spectacular. Good lesson for him though.

pagar,

You are welcome! I will go look for more. I was reading the COnservative Treehouse news thread but mostly today it's about the Strange/Moore thing, what is going on with Bannon, and more stuff about the NFL.

One thing I did learn is that the DC police chief, the one who was in charge during the Seth Rich investigation and the violence during the Inauguration, resigned in late January and took a new position. Guess who she is now working for.

The NFL!

This is why you have to pay attention to every damn detail anymore. There is so much shady stuff going on that it's almost a full-time job.

I am suspicious of the Bannon/Cruz connection and as I said the other day, there is a reason that Bannon is no longer at the White House.

Bannon has an interview on Hannity tonight but I doubt Hannity will ask any probing questions. He's not really that type of interviewer.

DebinGA, I think you may (may!) not understand what is happening here. Have y'all seen this from September of 2014?

The NFL should have its non-profit status immediately revoked while at the same time ending the giant tax scam which makes teams so valuable

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2014

The valuation of these NFL franchises has been skyrocketing. Shad Khan bought the Jacksonville Jaguars a few years ago for less than $800 million. They are now valued at $2 billion.

Is it possible this NFL stuff wasn't just a diversion? Just an attempt to force the idiots on the leftwing to give up more Pavlovian responses?

I suspect there is, after all, a very definite method to his series of tweets. I think the NFL has been baited into a truly stupid response and . . . #MAGA 45 has produced yet another winning tweetstorm.

This GIANT TAX SCAM discussion *is* a winning discussion, wouldn't y'all agree ???

Davod

MM. That DC police chief was also the person who drastically cut gang crime by changing the name of the gangs to community groups which meant their crimes did not get reported to the Federal gang crimes data base.

Miss Marple the Deplorable

DebinGA,

Why does "must" indicate a law? It's an auxiliary verb like "should."

In this case, he feels they "must" change because if they don't, there will be bad consequences, such as loss of revenue and viewers.

I "must" get some work done around here this morning. There is no law that governs that, just simply what I feel is productive behavior.

Captain Hate

From the Horde:

In Pittsburgh here. The sportswriters who live in the liberal bubble are all missing the earthquake that just hit Steeler nation. They, as the logo coffee mug crowd, see the Steelers as standing up (or kneeling) against some sort of racism or bigotry.

The real people, the people who vote, are pissed. The Steelers just did the unthinkable... they just became the second most popular team in the city behind the Penguins. People are mad, people are pissed.

This was a dagger to the teams fans, and none of these idiots can see it. If you want evidence, go read the responses to the steelers official twitter account, then go read their beat writers and sports media in pittsburgh... total disconnect.
