The Florida Senate passed a package of gun violence measures Monday. Now it is on the the Florida House and eventually, the Governor's desk.
However, the clock may run out since this regular legislative session ends on Friday.

Gary Cohn Resigns
What's so Wild West about something an elected president campaigned on?
Isn't this the same guy who tried to throw Trump under the bus over his completely reasonable and totally mischaracterized Charlottesville comments? F' him.

If there is an agreement reached between the United States, North Korea and the rest of the world regarding the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, the lion’s share of credit will go to President @realDonaldTrump for his strong stand.

So hrts is skeptical of the idea that Trump's election might have been divine intervention. As an admittedly bad Catholic, I'm not so sure.
(Btw, I agree with the basic premise that God doesn't modify what humans do. If he did, wouldn't Allah have already killed us all?)

There’s something genuinely hilarious in the fact that the entire Republican Party handed itself over to this bunch of mooks, and that the logical end of the conservative “movement” turned out to be a vulgar talking yam. But that’s for later, happier days. However, let us return to Sam Nunberg’s televised “episode.” There was one piquant passage that occurred when Tur asked him if Sam thought that Mueller had the goods on the president*.
"I think they may. I think he may have done something during the election. But I don’t know that for sure."

Success! Got called with 9 minutes left on the meter. The Chinese American Social Security lady was very pleasant to deal with. She verified who I was via my Passport, Military Retirment ID, FAA ID, and Alaska Drivers License, which I had brought along as evidence. She said I have not yet been robbed of my Social Security and she suggested that we put a lock on anyone being able to sign up on-line for my Social Security. That way I will have to come back down to the Social Security Office with all my ID's when and if I do want to finally sign up, but todays action will prevent the perp from signing up elctronically and robbing me via the Internet.

I haven't heard malaise since Carter.
"According to conversations with a dozen Trump advisers inside and outside the White House, little has happened to change the feeling of malaise that has settled into the West Wing. Morale, many of these advisers said, remains low, with few signs of turning around."

Seriously, you have a mental problem. We've been cordial in the past, but that was a long time ago and you're still doing the trolling thing. At your age, this is really not normal behavior. You should try to get help, and I hope you do.

Daughter doesn't follow news very mich, because she finds it "depressing."
So today I informed her of
1. The movements in North Korea.
2. The Saudi Crown Prince visiting the Coptic cathedral in Egypt
She was gobsmacked. I did not say it was due to Trump, but merely said I hoped both things led to a better life for her, her (hopefully) future children, and grandchildren.
Little steps.

91% negative...why not 100?
"For this study, MRC analysts looked at all 505 evening news stories that mentioned President Trump or his administration in January and February. Out of 851 total minutes of airtime devoted to the administration, the networks spent almost one-fourth of it (204 minutes, or 24%) on the Russia investigation, eclipsing other major topics such as the economy, immigration reform, and even the gun debate.
Since Trump took office on January 20, 2017, the three broadcast evening newscasts have spent a combined 1,438 minutes on the Russia investigation, accounting for more than one out of every five minutes (21%) of coverage of the Trump presidency.
Network coverage has also emphasized the drama of Trump’s presidency while giving short shrift to its substance. In January and February, nearly 63 percent of news coverage was devoted to scandals like the Russia investigation, plus tabloid fodder such as the domestic abuse scandal involving White House aide Rob Porter (54 minutes), the fallout from Michael Wolff’s book about the Trump White House (53 minutes), reports that the President made disparaging comments about African nations in a closed-door meeting (31 minutes), along with dozens of other controversies the networks deemed worthy of airtime.
During those same months, coverage of policy issues such as immigration reform (100 minutes), the government shutdown (84 minutes), and gun control (63 minutes) amounted to just 37 percent of Trump’s coverage. Among the important substantive issues getting relatively little coverage so far this year: the continued strong economy and jobs (12 minutes); the positive impact of the big tax cuts passed in December (9 minutes); and the fight against al Qaeda and ISIS (a mere 1 minute, 23 seconds)."

I listened to a short interview with Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame today. He dropped a little tidbit I had never before heard while discussing the unfortunate tendency of nominating credentialed Ivy League educated judges rather than people who have actually practiced law. He said that there was a desire in the Reagan WH to nominate Thomas Sowell to fill the slot eventually taken by Kennedy, but they decided it wasn’t worth spending the political capital on arguing for a non-judge to fill the seat.

Look Cohn was a big time Dem, but had a relation with Trump, Ross and Kushner. He was always a place holder to bring some credibility to the Dems in Congress. And it worked until it interfered with his Globalist Goldman Sachs rule of ruling.
The big problem of course is that Trump in not an embedded forever politician and its hard to bring people into that enviroment. Where does he go to find the kind of people and assets who can deal with that?
