This was a good day but not the day I was looking for.

Still blowing here in so.cal. My nose that is.

"Trump came into the backstage hair and makeup area while I sat naked under a robe." - Samantha Holvey

OMG!
I just realized that every single day of my entire working life, my educational life---I have been naked under my clothes! And very often, I have been the only woman in the room.

Who has Gloria Aldred's number????

[Old Lurker]

666?

[Momto2]

Who has Gloria Aldred's number????

You don't call Gloria, anonamom, she calls you!

[anonamom]

OL, I'm going to join you this evening on The Ledge, and stay there til the Alabama election results come in, if I may.
I'm surprised that R+2 poll in a R+22 has shaken my faith in the good people of Beasts state, but it has.

[Account Deleted]

So, the word of one individual who was backstage naked under her robe is all that's needed for this vaguery to have legs.

Was anyone else back there that evening? Is this allegation going to get corroborated or will be just get beaten over the head with the same hammer "Innappropriate....i was naked under my robe....i was barely 20.... inappropriate...i was naked under my robe....i was barely 20...."

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Let me repeat that we now know that Nellie Ohr, wife of the demoted DOJ guy Bruce Ohr, WORKED FOR FUSION GPS.

And this is my reply to that at the end of the last thread:

I do not understand this. Back in the 70's, I was unemployable by the State of Indiana's geological survey because the state regulated the mining company that my then-husband was working for.

Are you telling me that the State of Indiana had more stringent conflicts of interest in rules in 1975than the FBI and Department of Justice has today?

[JimNorCal]

Another one, UH!

Lizza joins the list of Trump Losers that is being maintained, as noted by daddy.

[Beasts of England]

I have a blog search question. I posted a recipe for Green Goddess salad dressing on JOM either last December or the one previous. I need to make it twice this season and can't find the recipe anywhere in the house. How would I do such a query? Thanks in advance!

[Sue]

Anyone seen Geraldo lately? I haven’t. And if they’ve shitcanned him from Fox it might all be worth it.

[JimNorCal]

Wait.
NASA is no longer in the Muslim Self Esteem bidness??

[Beasts of England]

I think you're reading it wrong, anonamom. They skewed an R+22 state down to R+2 to yield a 'shock poll'.

[JimNorCal]

"The deuce you say!"

[Old Lurker]

A-mom, it will be you and me on the Ledge tonight. Are you naked under those clothes?

I trust that that Fox Poll will be bogus as hell because Beasts said so and I believe Beasts. Then if it is, Fox should be laughed off the stage.

If it is accurate, then our team has some reflecting to do.

Hence the bar on the Ledge...

[Beasts of England]

I was chatting with ChiTown Lurker about Bitcoin the other day and mentioned that a young friend of mine has 717.xxx of the silly things. He's made (cryptically) $5.1M in the last ten days on the not-so-silly things. He's 25...

[Threadkiller]

Green Goddess dressing

- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. finely ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire
- 2 tbsp. anchovy paste
- 3 tbsp. tarragon vinegar
- 3 tbsp. minced chives
- 1/3 cup snipped parsley
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Simply combine all the ingredients and you're good to go. You can make it the night before without issue.

I use butter lettuce for the salad. Bibb works, as well. You can serve anchovies on the side, just in case the dressing isn't pungent enough!

[Jim Eagle]

BoE,

The Winklevoss twins let Zuckerberg screw them out of facebook. Why should we believe them when it comes to Bitcoin? I don't.

At least gold and silver are regulated by supply and demand.

Same with Trump's hair at his barber shop.

[Threadkiller]

Here is what I typed into the Google:

green goddess beasts england site:justoneminute.typepad.com

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Beasts,

In my opinion, he should take the money and run.

[JimNorCal]

Useful, TK!
Thanks for posting, I hadn't seen the "site" keyword being used before.

[Duda: Progressive and loving it!!]

The Roy Moore/Millie March interview went well. No incidents. Nothing.

Police were standing around 15 feet away just in case Roy started to slip but even I have admit, he held it together.

[Beasts of England]

Thank you so very much, Threadkiller!! You da man!

~ ~ ~

He owns a self-made top-100 Amazon retailing site and mines several crypto currencies, Miss Marple. He is relentless and driven. I have to be honest, if I had that kinda money at that age I'd have been retired for thirty years. He wants a G-650 and to be a billionaire. I wouldn't be surprised if he attains both before age forty.

[Buckeye]

My drink order is in, I will be joining you guys and gals on The Ledge shortly.

[Threadkiller]

That is the trick I use to dwell on all the missteps and incorrect statements of the afterbirthers, Jim.

#BirtherPOTUS!

[narcisoyea]

So where does one store the bitcoin, and how is it transferred securely.

[Beasts of England]

He's been pressing me to purchase some for the last year, JiB, and did a little extra gloating when he called me earlier... I see both sides of the argument about cryptos - as long as people perceive it to have value, it has value. Same is true of our US currency. Except it's backed up by the full faith and credit of our nuclear arsenal. :)

[Jane]

Me too A-mom - I can only imagine how many male judges I have stood before in my silk suit not realizing I was naked underneath. Every single one of them must go to jail - and if opposing counsel was male, he deserves it too.

[Beasts of England]

That was a real sticking point for me, narc. He made it sound like each coin had a distinct serial number linked to a chain of title, so to speak. I may be just too old to understand how that's good enough. :)

[Sue]

Hey look at me! I’m wearing a bikini on national tv. Whoa you looked at me. You creep.

[Jane]

Perfect Sue!

[GUS]

So 15 minutes later, she walks out on stage in a string bikini with high heels and proclaims.

TRUMP WAS TRYING TO SEE THIS BACKSTAGE.

[Captain Hate]

The ewok chronicles:

Meanwhile, the day the CNN face-planted with its latest round of #VeryFakeNews, who did Jake Tapper have on to discuss the Trump investigation? California Democrat Adam , who makes the most vaporware claims about what is "proven" about Trump RUSSIAN Collusion, and who is being straight-up accused by people who usually don't straight-up accuse of being the source for the coordinated false leaks.

Guess what Jake Tapper, the Hero of the Gimp-Suit Fake Conservative Remnant, did not ask Adam Schiff about?

That's right -- for some strange reason I could not even guess at, super-straight-shooter Jake Tapper did not ask Adam Schiff for his thoughts on the coordinated lies put out, allegedly, by two sources, each to four different media outlets (ABC, MSNBC, CBS, #VeryFakeNewsCNN).

Why did he not ask about that? Is it because reporters don't ask such things of their sources?

And why was Adam Schiff even on the show? Was he pre-booked in anticipation of talking up the information that I'm quite sure he had no idea would be breaking on CNN?

Glenn Greenwald had a good point: A "whistleblower" contacted the Washington Post claiming to have a story about Roy Moore groping her. This whistleblower also wanted anonymity.

When this whistleblower turned out to be a hoaxer -- working for Project Veritas to see how easily the Washington Post could be snookered -- the Washington Post outed this person they'd offered anonymity to.

Why are none of the four media outlets hoaxed by two sources (allegedly -- I suspect it's one source) outing those hoaxers?

I think the answer is obvious: Because while the Washington Post hoaxer hoped to hurt the Washington Post, the two (or maybe one) hoaxer putting out the Wikileaks Early Peak story was hoping to hurt Trump.

And that's what makes it an "innocent mistake" as far as CNN and the rest of them are concerned -- it wasn't a mistake, it was in fact deliberate, but it was "innocent" in the sense that they were spreading false stories about the right target.

Oh, and of course: Because they don't want to burn the guy feeding them leaks every couple of days, who is almost certainly either Adam Schiff, and/or other Democrat Congressmen on the House Intelligence Committee and/or Democratic staffers on that committee.

They want to keep the leak gravy train -- true or false, it does not matter -- coming.

And they want to protect their fweinds

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

That's a good article by Sundance. I don't always agree with him but that was very well stated.

Heads up for folks in DC: There will be a military drill over the city from midnight until 2:30 a.m. Among the assets being deployed: F-16 fighters, C-21 transporters and MH-65 Dolphin helicopters. NORAD says it's testing rapid response capabilities.

I hope Trump has his own loyal troops

[Account Deleted]

So is this "it's too close to call" or the "blowout for Dems" the usual Dem disinformation campaign just before a loss?

Also, has Sally Yates' "blackmail" meme re Flynn been discredited? Just saw an article on how MuleToolz is focused on an 18 day period on who said what re Flynn's blackmailability etc...

[maryrose]

All these rotten Obama people are being exposed.
Unfortunately nothing is going to happen to them.
Mueller going under for the third time.
No way firing Comey is anything other than good judgment.

[narcisoyea]

I would say the latter,

the predicate was set forth with bogus snippet re alpha bank that foer chomped on, to the dossier that secured the visa warrant from contreras note how that story dissapeared.

[Janet 🚬]

That "naked under a robe" chick has to be one of the stupidest accusers of all.

Her & the Roy Moore accusers that are complaining Moore asked their mothers if he could date them.

[Comanche Voter]

So you are saying that my own not so beloved Congress Critter "Adam Loose Lips Sink Ships Schiff" was maybe the leaker who set CNN up? Who would think that that skid mark on the shorts of Congress would do such a thing?

[anonamom]

We're a Bitcoin family.

As in A Bitcoin.

Dang it!

[Buckeye]

MM

No arguement, Rupert is cooking that poll.

However, if enough Moore voters get discouraged and stay home, real possibilty of bad outcome.

[anonamom]

Oh, I totally understand what is going on---I'm just not able to get the head to overcome my unsettled insides.

[Buckeye]

I hope Trump has his own loyal troops

He does.

Just for starters, all of West by God. Then all the "regular guys" in the counties he won.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Buckeye,

That is why it is important to talk about it to people in Alabama, to put it on Twitter, and for even we people here not to get discouraged(because lots of people read this blog but don't comment).

I voted very early for President Trump. I then was subjected to variations of "Trump's gonna lose" bulletins from Fox on my phone. It got so bad that on my way home from my sister's I started crying and praying. I believe those prayers were answered. I also believe that the people of Alabama are far smarter than Rupert Murdoch's flacks.

[Beasts of England]

'However, if enough Moore voters get discouraged and stay home, real possibilty of bad outcome.'

I appreciate that, Buckeye. However, the whole country noticed that Trump 'didn't have a path to 270' yet they still came out and voted him into office. I've talked to two locals today about the bogus Fox poll - there's no way that will dissuade them. Plus, many of us are still enraged about McTurtle trying to buy the primary for Strange...

[JimNorCal]

MissM: " I also believe that the people of Alabama are far smarter than Rupert Murdoch's flacks."

I've been trying to come up with a theory of how this statement could be incorrect. So far, no can do.

[Beasts of England]

I should have known that Miss Marple was gonna say it better and quicker than me. ;)

[Buckeye]

I'm not discouraged, just making an "hedging" observation

Beside, OL has the bar really well stocked, so might as well drink his booze:)

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Captain Hate,

I used to follow her on Twitter but as the campaign progressed, she got nuttier and nuttier.

I firmly believe she was scared of things coming out, and I am not talking about sex.

I finally dropped her off my Twitter feed as she was to disturbing to read.

[JimNorCal]

I see 3 new polls: Jones +10 (Fox), dead heat tie and Moore +9.
What a joke.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/

[Jim Eagle]

I feel sorry for the poor fuck of a man who woud harrass Sally Kohn. Needs gender reassignment immediately. But the irony is a butch idiot like Sally discussing sexual harrassment as if it would ever happen to her, outside of the restrooms in Target.

I am going Moore by 5+ points just because I know Alabama and no way they elect a raving liberal like this guy.

[Sue]

I don’t understand women. They want men to respect them, treat them as equals, not as sex objects but they make the Fifty Shades of Grey series a massive success. I don’t think men have a chance anymore. Sorry guys.

[Buckeye]

Somebody needs to deal with Rupert's punk ass kids.

[maryrose]

Jones seems not very intelligent to me.
He is another Dem patsy who will be dumped after the election.

[Buford Gooch]

The people putting actual cash on it are still strong on Moore.

[maryrose]

Any woman who sees herself as a victim like Hillary has lost the battle of life.

[Tom R]

I’m turning off the regular TV channels and watching Netflix tonight. Every commercial break on every channel is nonstop negative ads against both Moore and Jones.

[Jim Eagle]

No one, in my memory, even the Nixon v. Rather exchange, has ever gone to battle against the media, except Trump. That is why they are trying to figure out how to handle it and what to do about it. They are flummoxed to a high degree. And it is not something they anticipated.

They should have seen it coming but didn't and now they are way behind and he is way ahead. In fact, they can't recover without exposing their leftist bias and even more their really lack of any intelligent reporting. Look at Jim Acosta. What do you think his SAT score was, -100/+1400? Go low if you want to win.

[GUS]

Jack the MFM has no intelligent people any more. They have biased LIBTARD/MARXISTS and NANCY BOYS, who have been raised in LEFTIST SCHOOLS and the UNIVERSITY of TARD URINALISM SCHOOLS.
Their MONOPOLY is over.

[exdemocrat]

this seems pretty significant to me: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-11/ex-spy-chief-admits-role-deep-state-intelligence-war-trump

[henry]

JiB, don't you get 600 for writing your name on the test sheet? That puts my guess on Acosta at 360. The boy is too dumb to put last name first.

[Janeprobably about 10 minutes after getting there]

[Clarice Feldman]

Jane, I'll be down there from tomorrow pm to the 18th if you feel like a field trip.

[Captain Hate]

I just use the ancient Betty Crocket recipe for spaghetti sauce.

Most of us gave you input on salmon, Gus; you just chose Jane's.

[Captain Hate]

Here is the magician CH speaks of on the YouTube:

At 3:05, or so, something looks bizarre with a disappearing card.

I do like the award at the end.

#FU

[Beasts of England]

- can of whole tomatoes, chopped
- small can tomato paste
- small onion, diced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp oregano (2x if fresh)
- 1 tbsp basil (ibid)
- 1 tsp sugar

- 3 bay leaves
- 1/4 red wine
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

Sweat the onions and garlic in the olive oil. Add the remaining ingredients less the bottom three - stir well. Top with the red wine, bay leaves, and cheese - simmer for at least thirty minutes.

[Beasts of England]

And salt + pepper, of course. Doh!!

[Sue]

Go to the pantry. Search for glass jar labeled Rsgo. Ask for help if you can’t unscrew the lid. Dump contents in sauce pan. Heat on low stirring occasionally until hot.

You’re welcome.

[Sue]

Ragu. Shoot. Autocorrect ruined it.

[Captain Hate]

Good find, TK.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Sue,

Exactly my recipe, except sometimes I use the Kroger brand.

The reason I use Ragu is that I had a spaghetti sauce recipe made from tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, green pepper, garlic, etc. and simmered for 2 hours.

One day there was a special on Ragu so I bought it for a quick meal, and discovered it tasted exactly the same!

I have used jar sauce ever since. If I am feeling really fancy I add some sort of meat and Parmesan cheese to the sauce.

[Clarice Feldman]

Jane, I'll contact you once I get down there in case pipes have burst so there's some other emergency I don't know about. At the moment only sat night is booked though.
