Run, Hillary Run!

I actually think it would be great for the Democrats if Hillarity runs in 2020. First, as she sucked up all the oxygen the other contenders and pretenders would turn blue, which might be a good look for messaging purposes.

More importantly, whoever knocked her off would establish a bit of credibility as a giant-killer, even though "excorcist" would be more appropriate.

Car update:

Bad battery complicated by battery strap being broken and battery rattling around. When fully charged the battery was only at about 60% of what it should be.

Also, the car was very low on oil. They old me that the engine had a lot of oil on it but finding the leak would be very expensive. They told me I o come by once a month and they would check my oil level for free. They have a couple of older ladies they already do this for. If I need a quart, of course, I will buy it from them.

I decided to go ahead and replace the battery as winter is coming and I don't want to find myself unable to start the car when needed.

The question was directed at those arguing that there were smoother ways to off Khashoggi than in the Saudi consulate in Turkey, rich. In any event, it looks as if the Saudi story is going to be that Khashoggi was killed in a fight at the consulate.

Hey Fake Clarice,

Newsflash! Americans don't care about muzzies killing muzzies. Well at least no negative feelings anyway. In fact, I'd say since no Americans are involved, let the UN handle it. It will give them something to do.

You and your angry liberal mobs keep shaking your jobless fists at the sky in support of terrorists and we patriots will focus on winning the mid-terms. Best of luck leftys...and keep those tears flowing. :)

And, James D, it's not inconsistent that the statements in your 9:03 am post are true, and that this was an MBS operation. The fistfight story, while probably the best the Saudis could do, is laughable. This was clearly a planned operation. I would be more disturbed if the operation was planned by MBS's enemies than by MBS.

Good questions, Janet!

Remember how gung-ho Obama was when Morsi (Muslim Brotherhood) managed to get elected in Egypt? And remember how upset he was when General Sisi and the army forced Morsi out because Morsi was going all nutty radical?

Many countries have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Why haven't we? I distinctly remember MB people appearing on cable news as commentators, back in the beginnings of the War on Terror. They seem to have now disappeared, but how much influence does the MB have in the press?

Technical question for my fellow JOMers: how does one dispose of a broken cell phone? I have taken out the battery, which is a lithium ion. How do I dispose of the Li battery?
I took out the memory card, which is 8 gigs of God knows what. Is there a reader I can use to download that to my pc?

The phone itself is cracked and broken and falling apart. Should I just throw it in the garbage, or bring it to some recycling place?

[sbwaters]

Take the Li battery to your nearest Ace Hardware or Lowes to recycle.

If you don’t have anything you need or that is private -- pix, etc. -- take pliers to the care and throw the card away.

The phone is insignificant electronics that can be thrown away or saved to recycle with other old electronics at your next community event.

[sbwaters]

[Thomas Collins]

One aspect of l'affaire Khashoggi we may never find out about is whether Turkey has the goods on the operation, or whether Turkey is bluffing. Even if Turkey has the goods, I could see the international equivalent of a nondisclosure agreement happening in which Turkey keeps its videos private and the Sauds provide something the Turks want under the table.

Re impact on election: It could affect a few persuadable GOPers in swing districts, but I would be surprised if it changed the outcome in any race. For GOPers, the big turnout generator is how the Dems handled the Kavanaugh confirmation proceedings. For Dems, as usual, the incentive is the continuing effort to undermine Trump.

I think to the extent the Dems and MFM try to pin this thing on Trump somehow and harm our position in the world it will also be a net positive for Trump and the Rs.
They so despise us that it is impossible for them to do anything other than defame and enrage us.

New York man threatened to kill 2 senators who supported Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation

In the first voicemail, DeRisi did not identify himself but claimed to have a “present” for the senator, according to a criminal complaint.

“It’s a nine-millimeter,” he said, according to the complaint. “Side of your [expletive] … skull … Yeah Kavanaugh – I don’t think so.”

In another call left on the other senator’s phone, the message said, “Listen … don’t you know the guy’s a sex offender? How could you not know that … I’m gonna get you,” according to Newsday.

U.S. Capitol Police said DeRisi left 10 voicemails at the senators' offices.

DeRisi made the calls from a pre-paid cellphone that authorities traced to his debit card, prosecutors said.

...

DeRisi previously pleaded guilty to making other harassing calls in a case that involved at least 15 calls he placed to a victim’s home and office, according to the complaint.

DeRisi’s attorney, Peter Brill, said his client was “not able to comprehend right and wrong.” Brill said DeRisi “is not a physical threat to anyone.”

Threatening to kill a U.S. official is a federal crime that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

General Sisi and the army forced Morsi out because Morsi was going all nutty radical?

Purportedly people were starving in Egypt at the time; I say purportedly because I don't trust anything being reported by the MFM anymore but that ran contrary to their "support MB" meme so it is more likely to be fact based.

It's too bad I feel that way but the MFM continues to beclown itself.

Beto Who?… President Trump CAN’T FIND VENUE BIG ENOUGH for Houston Rally with Senator Ted Cruz – 77,800 People Already Signed Up!

At least 77,000 people have signed up for President Trump’s Houston rally on Monday to support incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who is locked in the Texas Senate battle with Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Houston police will be “fully mobilized” for the rally. Attendees must have tickets to enter and will be admitted in the order that they line up, the report said.

“Keep in mind that once the capacity is met, you won’t get in whether you have a ticket or not,” an officer said.

More than 77,800 people had signed up for the rally by Friday morning, according to The Chronicle. A person familiar with the event told the paper that the Trump campaign was not considering a move to a larger venue.

"There is some speculation about what President-elect Obama’s howdy factor will be."

Thanks for the memories! One of my early Quasiblog entries centered on President-elect Obama's vision of the future: The Howdy Partner! Platform.
