Buckeye's comments on the prior thread about the Yellow Vests are very instructive. Anyone thinking that is unrelated to DJT's election is living in a sensory deprivation tank. I think this is the second great upheaval.

Turkey Dismisses Trump's Threat To Devastate Economy Over Kurds

Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2019

...

....Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey. Russia, Iran and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term U.S. policy of destroying ISIS in Syria - natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the ENDLESS WARS!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2019

"You cannot get anywhere by threatening Turkey economically," said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.

Turkey needs to ask Mexico, Canada, China and the EU if Trump is serious when he makes economic threats.

That is why they gave up pastor Brunson after all, because their currency was in a slalom.

[JimNorCal]

A snip from Buckeye's willowed post.
" The latest turn of events in France is that the Yellow Vests are calling for everyone to take their money out of French banks to destabilize the regime.

Supposedly 70% of the population is supporting the movement and if that’s correct, it will be a devastating blow to Macron and the French economy.

This is extremely important because the movement has spread to other nations like Australia, Poland, Taiwan, and even Lebanon…all calling for a Revolution to unfold.

Yet, how much do you see of it in our Fake Stream Media?"

Kev: will be interesting to see, should the sale go through (WSJ is up too) what the implications are for small town papers.

Disaggregate the press -- national, medium, local.

Gannett (and later Gatehouse that bought a lot of Gannett papers) actually would usurp local media resources to produce USA Today and finance debt. Small town newspapers would suffer.

Small town newspapers have a future because locals need to know what is going on that affects them -- Adam Smith division of labor.

It’s the nationals and regionals that are at risk.

A curious thing is happening at Joint Base Andrews -- poolers on board AF1 report they've been sitting on the tarmac for 30 minutes. No explanation has been given.

Typically, the plane takes off immediately after the president gets on board.

the sitch in Gaul leads me to wonder about the world Communist movement, especially in this country.

here they are using all this lingo about "resistance", "anti-fascism", "revolution" etc., the polemic of bolsheviks.

but are the Commiecrats et al paying attention to the grassroots countermovement--- happening without astroturfed Soros infrastructure?

take the Trump rallies as a for instance. the tax rebellion in Gaul. the furloughing of a Democrat-majority federal workforce contingent of 800,000--- and no one in the DNC seems to be serious about them (will they blame Trump as this wears on?).

SOME things are lining up against the Left and their allies in Deep State power cores. Mueller's report is projected (thru leaks) as being underwhelming at best.

yes, i know, most of us want skulls on pikes and all. but this border/shutdown impasse might be a significant tide turner in a number of ways.

i certainly don't have the clouds sitting on my head like they were after the mid-terms.

now, about those missing "prosecutorial misconduct" documents. or whatever it was they were saying about Andrew Weissman.

giddy up. the Absolute Truth will out.

[matt - deplore me if you must]

The Atlantic has joined The New republic in its trip down the drain. It's the same old Leftist propaganda day and day out. I used to have a small modicum of respect for both because they occasionally printed worthwhile articles, but no more.

The establishment is getting hit across the world and know that they are outnumbered. Their self enrichment at the expense of the rest of us has been exposed and their mass revisionism is beginning to crack the plastered minds of the true believers.

Last night Querida made a telling remark, that the rules changed so radically and so swiftly that there is no longer justice. It is mob rule by cretins. She studiously avoids politics these days so that was a very telling comment.

And a judge in CA dared to spit in the eye of the Supreme Court and the Little Sisters of the Poor yesterday. You'd better not step on Superman's cape, a Supreme's robes, or a Little Sister's habit is all I gotta say.

[Extraneus]

Trump's AG Nominee: 'Vitally Important' Mueller Finish Probe, Public Sees Report

"I believe it is in the best interest of everyone — the President, Congress, and, most importantly, the American people - that this matter be resolved by allowing the Special Counsel to complete his work," Barr is set to tell lawmakers.

Barr also says that it's "very important" that Congress and the public be informed of the special counsel's findings into potential coordination between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

"For that reason, my goal will be to provide as much transparency as I can consistent with the law," Barr will say. "I can assure you that, where judgments are to be made by me, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and will let no personal, political, or other improper interests influence my decisions."

[Extraneus]

The remarks are an acknowledgment that Barr's handling of Mueller's investigation will take center stage at Tuesday's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. They're intended to reassure Democratic senators troubled by Barr's past comments on the special counsel's probe, including an unsolicited memo he sent the Justice Department last year criticizing the inquiry into whether the president had obstructed justice.

He also previously said the president's firing of FBI director James Comey was appropriate and that the Mueller team, criticized by Trump for including prosecutors who have contributed to Democrats, should have had more "balance." -Bloomberg

what if Mrs Bozo says: "stroke me a check today for $5 BILLION and put 50% of your earnings up to $60 BILLION into trust for our kids (a board on which you cannot serve, Bub)."

A couple, both age 78, went to a sex therapist's office. The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"

The man said, "Will you watch us have sex?"

The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed.

When the couple finished, the doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have sex," and charged them $50.

This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have sex with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave.

Finally, the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?"

"We're not trying to find out anything," the husband replied.

"She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50...and I get $43 back from Medicare.
