More Resistance Porn? Benjamin Wittes says its too late to slow the Mueller Express.
His Point Six may induce a dmagaing level of eye roll from any righty familiar with the "investigation" into Hillary's emails. Take care
Sixth, corrupting the Justice Department is harder than you think.
To be fair, after watching Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama cover for Hillary's misdeeds (and the President used her email too, so the cover-up had plenty of motivation) or the FISA waltz with Carter Page I don't think corrupting the Justice Department is that hard.
Everyone forgets that Schumer Warren and Cordray tried the stunt of appointing chief of staff to Cordray as his replacement using that vacancy act. Of course under their theory Cordray had authority to appoint his replacement not Trump. Of course they lost but their stupid attempt makes Whitaker's appointment valid .

Tom, I apologize for calling you insincere. I just read your 3:58.
Apology accepted. Assuming we are both still alive and assuming they run for president in the 2024/2028/2032 election, I look forward to reading your argument explaining why Ivanka or Don Jr are not eligible to be president.

On the Florida Election I have no idea of what sort of Rulings will be necessary for Justice to prevail, but since the obvious violation was that Brenda Snipe refused to do her Duty under the Florida Constitution by stating within the time frame exactly how many ballots they had in Broward County, would a ruling stating that only the Votes would count that were counted by the time of that missed deadline be Legally acceptable and defensible all the way up to the Supremes?
If not, what would be an acceptable Legal remedy we can push, other than putting Brenda Snipes in jail all over again?

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has released a memoir in which she reveals difficulties about her marriage and pregnancy with her two daughters.
In the book, Becoming, Mrs Obama reveals that she had a miscarriage and used in vitro fertilisation to conceive both children, Malia and Sasha.
Mrs Obama told ABC's Good Morning America she felt "lost and alone" after her miscarriage 20 years ago.

For arguments sake, If we accept this story and this date as legitimate, is that within the window allowing a refusal to vote on the President's nomination until a new presidential Election in 2020? I forget what exactly is the time-frame of the Schumer/Biden Rule, or does that not apply since, as long as they don't steal any more Senate seats, we'll hold a solid Majority?

We had Scout and Fry fixed:)
Sadly tho' Nelson had surgery yesterday. It appears he ate something a while back (probably a bit of broken glass that according to the daughter was lying on an outdoor hockey field a few months back and he swallowed it before she could yank it out of his mouth.) Our guess is that it lodged in the side of his throat and then penetrated his neck area where the Doc yesterday had to do surgery due to the growing bulge. He removed some big mass according to Momma and was uncertain what it was built around, so Nelson is drugged and in pain and bummed, and naturally so are Momma and I:(
We do love out dogs here at JOM.

Before we go.
Have any of you "cut the cord" in re cable? We have and now have 3 streaming devises.
Apple TV
Firestick with Amazon
Roku
If you downsize your Optimum for example it will not allow you to stream the channels you cancelled. But Spectrum in Florida allows streaming on channels you cancelled. Hulu depending on the level of service has you download channel apps so you can go there. There are other services that do the same thing.
My point is that if you cut the cord research it first.

From lst thread catch-up:
The dems have tinkered with races here and there (Franken and probably others),
I recall being infuriated by the races in Washington State. Dino Rossi won a couple of elections there but before the vote counting was complete they would suddenly find a ton of uncounted ballots from the homeless bums on Skid Row near Pike Place Market and magically there were just enough Votes to always turn winner Dino Rossi into Loser Dino Rossi.
