In a softball interview with Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine on Sunday’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd wondered if a report in the New York Times about the FBI investigating President Trump’s alleged ties to Russia in 2017 meant it was time for congressional Democrats to begin impeachment proceedings.
At the top of show, Todd argued that the “political crisis” of the ongoing government shutdown was being used by the President “to deflect focus from his own legal jeopardy.” Minutes later, while talking to Kaine, the NBC anchor noted how the former vice presidential candidate made the case for Trump colluding with Russia during the 2016 campaign:
"Senator, on the campaign trail in 2016, you spent the last two months regularly questioning the President, at that time candidate, Donald Trump’s ties to Vladimir Putin, complimentary ways he talked about things. So you have those questions that you had, as a candidate. Now, you have this story in the New York Times that has the FBI worried that the President acted on Comey at the behest of the Russian government."
At that point, Todd suggested it was time for liberal lawmakers to take action: “Does that mean that Democrats should be looking at actually beginning impeachment proceedings? Or is this something you think, let the Mueller probe go first?” He impatiently added: “How much more do you need to know?”
Are the walls closing in on the real perps? Why else would he embarrass himself with such illogical reasoning?
Ext, full on campaign. they need to extend the insurance policy another 22 months. That means beyond whatever time Mueller says he's completed his homework and filed his innuendo.

Please pass my concern if that is the case. Either way please let him know that I do miss him around here. He was very welcoming when I first darkened the hallways of JoM.

He tried before October but there were too many people around.

I don’t think an insanity plea will work if they try one.
Since losing his gig as a bag man for the Clintoona's (handing sack of cash to Gerbil McCabe's wifey on the okie doke), is McCaine just killing a wider field of grass these days?
the media reaction to the govt employee furlough of "non-essential" employees makes me think the union will push for a new quasi-classification: "ESSENTIAL non-essential" employees.
Mick should recommend raising that "non-essential" bar. 800,000 more asap.
The New York Times quoted King asking, "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization – how did that language become offensive?"
I think I know exactly what he was trying to say.
I'm American, and I think America is superior. I'm male, and I think males are superior. (Sorry ladies.) I'm Christian, and I think Christianity is superior. I'm heterosexual, and I think heterosexuals are superior. I'm white...
King is not politically correct enough for the New York Times.
Hence the order from the top to fry him and beat a dead horse.

That the FBI conducted an extensive counterintelligence investigation of [Henry] Wallace was unknown until 1983 – eighteen years after his death. Citing reporting by the Des Moines Register, the New York Times explained that “Wallace was watched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation while he was Vice President under Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secretary of Commerce for Harry S. Truman, and also in his 1948 run for the Presidency” and that “the bureau opened Wallace’s mail, tapped his supporters’ telephones and used informers and agents to trail him in search of ”possible Communist or pro-Soviet ties.'”
For decades, the FBI also maintained a massive dossier on long-time liberal Senator and 1972 Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern – first because he was suspected of Kremlin sympathies and then because he was a critic of the FBI. Among other things, the FBI, while relentlessly tracking his life, discovered that McGovern had fathered a child out of wedlock, and in the words of USA Today, “somehow, the material ended up with President Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign – possibly leaked by the bureau’s longtime director, J. Edgar Hoover.”
IT IS NOT DIFFICULT to understand what is so ominous and even tyrannical about the FBI investigating domestic political figures whose loyalties they regard as “suspicious,” and whose political career they regard as a “national security threat,” simply because those politicians express policy positions about U.S. adversaries that the FBI dislikes or regards as insufficiently belligerent.

Gillette is confused about the difference between normal, healthy male behavior and men who are a**holes: abusive, disrespectful of women, and irresponsible to their families. The latter has nothing to do with normal stuff like kids beating each other up on the playground.
“Not long ago, Republicans loved calling Democrats liberal. They didn’t mean it as a compliment. And for a while, it was effective. Today, Democrats are embracing the label,” Todd proclaimed as he teased the upcoming segment. Minutes later, during the show’s Data Download segment, the NBC moderator hyped the new Gallup survey and asked: “Among Democrats, is the term, ‘liberal,’ no longer a dirty word?”
“2018 was the first time a majority of Democrats, 51% of them, called themselves liberal,” Todd noted, adding: “It’s quite a change from where things stood when Bill Clinton was president. In 1994, 25% of Democrats called themselves liberal.”
He then looked at ideological labels among Americans overall:
"And it’s not just Democrats, by the way, who are more comfortable calling themselves liberal. The public, overall, is more comfortable calling themselves liberal. In 1992, 17% of Americans said they were liberal. In 2018, the number is now 26%, a nine-point increase. And in the same period of time, the percentage of folks calling themselves conservative remained mostly flat among the electorate as a whole, while the percentage of moderates has decreased by eight points."
Ext:
Dems have a false sense of security since winning the House in the midterms.
After they lose the presidential race again in 2020, they will run away from the liberal label.
Pagar:
Mika is the classic liberal.
She more than blackmail has turned Scarborough from a moderate Republican to a full blown prog.

Weather maps at link. My son says this agrees with the guys who run the web site he counted on when he did landscape and snowplowing. My joints are killing me, so I assume another front is moving through.
in the parlance of "anti-racism" activists such as Dr. Cornel West, Derek Bell, bell hooks, Gloria Anzaldua, The Peoples Institute for Survival and Beyond, SPLC, Angela Davis, and legions of others--
"the culture of white supremacy" has DNA which establishes, almost undetectably, "white is right", "white is superior", "white is on top" more about that in a moment.
yes, the label "white supremacist" has been permanently affixed to the extremist neo-nazi militia types who "cohere" around Mein Kampf and other manifestos.
but that is what confuses the "innocent" white American who's not a Third Reich afficianado. a friend of mine used to say "i'm just the 3rd white guy from the left in the photo."
true enough.
where the anti-racists (racists) steer the narrative is with the assertion that ALL institutions in America are BIASED, and therefore racist, because they promote the cultural standard of "white supremacy"... white is right (always), white is just (always), white is best (always), white is first in everything (always)....
THEREFORE, all of the institutions involved in the following, are racist because they conserve the culture of white supremacy that is buttressed by the following:
Academia, banking and finance, capital formation, employment systems, mental health systems, health systems, science, militarism, education, recreation and leisure, natural resource development and consumption, religious organization, politics, civic life, government, entertainment, law, production of historical texts, etc etc etc.
the "innocent" will hear this "analysis" and tend to reject it out of hand because they do not participate *PERSONALLY* in the conservation of white cultural supremacy ("i have no power. Al Sharpton has more power than i do.")
and that opens the Steve King's to the slam by the hyena media. Where do they get off being the slammers? it is the politics of "envy avoidance." they fear getting the evil eye from the ranks of the "organized oppressed."
Rush spoke of this at length today. a transcript of the show from today (1/14/19) might contain his delivery. he ties together, very competently, the role of the Democrats, the "not me!" fear of condemnation, and the hyena media in this travesty against free thought.
the rap is vulnerable to one thing, and one thing only--- mass defection by African-Latin-Asian-Native American people from the Oppression Olympics for the sake of getting government checks, for whatever use and purpose those might be desired.
the rap has been developed in earnest since 1983 down in Yellow Springs Ohio. there are cracks forming now that the "movement" has veered deep into the socialist weeds, with its marxist roots, coming near to the border of outright communism.
but more and more of the "oppressed" are walking away. Trump's ratings demonstrate such.
anyways.
my two cents from a long history fighting two front wars on college campuses where none of the good guys are good guys. the stakes are too high. and it is a zero sum game.
Dr. Savage cited the Vatican Walls as an example *FROM A DIFFERENT TIME* when the walls were constructed to keep out invading hordes *cough cough* Moslems.
that works for me. the walls today do what exactly?
That Mika articulation should be in the top ten most treasonous statements ever made by an American. What a stupid bitch. No wonder should find Joe so sexy. They both have no sense.
Back when the Rear Admiral was still pretending to be on "our side", after docking the Sea Cuck in NYC he would venture to the Morning Homewreckers and entertain even Low IQ Meeka by ridiculing F Chuck. Todd would get so apoplectic his beady eyes would cross and his goatee would twitch like a man doing a handstand having anal spasms. After that it was out to Hell's Kitchen to procure the services of some strapping virile studs to give those fine Republican wives the energetic rogering they richly deserved. Ahoy!
Mika Hunt should don her raspberry beret and backpack and head to class.
An ISIS hit across the border against Americans would leave her in the same position as that DJ named Jack in the "Fisher King." (channeling my inner Narciso :D)
Seems "Jack" encouraged a mental defective to gun down "yuppie scum", but then met Robin Williams' character who lost the love of his life in the massacre.
Careful, Mika. Even Jeff Bozos has been felled by his Trumpenfreude. You moron.
The Vatican walls may date from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries when Rome was like the Wild West with the progenitors of crime families carrying on continual wars on each other. Plus the Vatican moved to Avignon during that time.
Fisher King was a Terry Gilliam movie, maybe his most successful at the box office.
The best possible spin I can put on Sessions is that he realized this and decided to do the house cleaning as quietly as possible as an HR issue.

Comey wouldn't even confirm who was severely disciplined for the FBI framing Ted Stevens and, literally, interfering with a Senate election. Just, trust us, we totes dealt with that.
Nothing. Is. Going. To. Happen.
Nothing.
Spare me all the people who were fired. Who the hell is in jail.
In 2015, the FBI admitted ADMITTED that for over 20 years nearly every single "expert" in the hair analysis division had lied on the stand. Twenty years. Point blank made up the field of hair analysis. Something like 26 agents. All of which, again, admittedly, committed perjury. Of those cases, 32 were death penalty cases. By the time this was admitted, 14 people had been executed.
To the best of my knowledge, not a single person involved ever saw the second of the inside of a cell for that.
Don't tell me that there will be a house cleaning. There won't be.
Oh and the FBI burnt children to death in Waco, killed Randy Weaver's family, and killed Richard Jewell. It took decades for Richard Jewell to die, but kill him the FBI did.
Yeah, my loathing of the FBI is decades long and bone deep.

Dems have a false sense of security since winning the House in the midterms.
After they lose the presidential race again in 2020, they will run away from the liberal label.

Mika is the classic liberal.
She more than blackmail has turned Scarborough from a moderate Republican to a full blown prog.
She is a whacko bird and leader of the propaganda media.
Bring back Imus!

Weather maps at link. My son says this agrees with the guys who run the web site he counted on when he did landscape and snowplowing. My joints are killing me, so I assume another front is moving through.

Tom R:
in the parlance of "anti-racism" activists such as Dr. Cornel West, Derek Bell, bell hooks, Gloria Anzaldua, The Peoples Institute for Survival and Beyond, SPLC, Angela Davis, and legions of others--
"the culture of white supremacy" has DNA which establishes, almost undetectably, "white is right", "white is superior", "white is on top" more about that in a moment.
yes, the label "white supremacist" has been permanently affixed to the extremist neo-nazi militia types who "cohere" around Mein Kampf and other manifestos.
but that is what confuses the "innocent" white American who's not a Third Reich afficianado. a friend of mine used to say "i'm just the 3rd white guy from the left in the photo."
true enough.
where the anti-racists (racists) steer the narrative is with the assertion that ALL institutions in America are BIASED, and therefore racist, because they promote the cultural standard of "white supremacy"... white is right (always), white is just (always), white is best (always), white is first in everything (always)....
THEREFORE, all of the institutions involved in the following, are racist because they conserve the culture of white supremacy that is buttressed by the following:
Academia, banking and finance, capital formation, employment systems, mental health systems, health systems, science, militarism, education, recreation and leisure, natural resource development and consumption, religious organization, politics, civic life, government, entertainment, law, production of historical texts, etc etc etc.
the "innocent" will hear this "analysis" and tend to reject it out of hand because they do not participate *PERSONALLY* in the conservation of white cultural supremacy ("i have no power. Al Sharpton has more power than i do.")
and that opens the Steve King's to the slam by the hyena media. Where do they get off being the slammers? it is the politics of "envy avoidance." they fear getting the evil eye from the ranks of the "organized oppressed."
Rush spoke of this at length today. a transcript of the show from today (1/14/19) might contain his delivery. he ties together, very competently, the role of the Democrats, the "not me!" fear of condemnation, and the hyena media in this travesty against free thought.
the rap is vulnerable to one thing, and one thing only--- mass defection by African-Latin-Asian-Native American people from the Oppression Olympics for the sake of getting government checks, for whatever use and purpose those might be desired.
the rap has been developed in earnest since 1983 down in Yellow Springs Ohio. there are cracks forming now that the "movement" has veered deep into the socialist weeds, with its marxist roots, coming near to the border of outright communism.
but more and more of the "oppressed" are walking away. Trump's ratings demonstrate such.
anyways.
my two cents from a long history fighting two front wars on college campuses where none of the good guys are good guys. the stakes are too high. and it is a zero sum game.

Dr. Savage cited the Vatican Walls as an example *FROM A DIFFERENT TIME* when the walls were constructed to keep out invading hordes *cough cough* Moslems.
that works for me. the walls today do what exactly?

Back when the Rear Admiral was still pretending to be on "our side", after docking the Sea Cuck in NYC he would venture to the Morning Homewreckers and entertain even Low IQ Meeka by ridiculing F Chuck. Todd would get so apoplectic his beady eyes would cross and his goatee would twitch like a man doing a handstand having anal spasms. After that it was out to Hell's Kitchen to procure the services of some strapping virile studs to give those fine Republican wives the energetic rogering they richly deserved. Ahoy!

Mika Hunt should don her raspberry beret and backpack and head to class.
An ISIS hit across the border against Americans would leave her in the same position as that DJ named Jack in the "Fisher King." (channeling my inner Narciso :D)
Seems "Jack" encouraged a mental defective to gun down "yuppie scum", but then met Robin Williams' character who lost the love of his life in the massacre.
Careful, Mika. Even Jeff Bozos has been felled by his Trumpenfreude. You moron.

The Vatican walls may date from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries when Rome was like the Wild West with the progenitors of crime families carrying on continual wars on each other. Plus the Vatican moved to Avignon during that time.
Fisher King was a Terry Gilliam movie, maybe his most successful at the box office.

Since I am home alone this week (well, the dawg is here), I get to pick the menu with no outside whining.
Tonight I grilled a very nice tuna steak and steamed a big side of spinach.
I usually put vinegar on steamed spinach, but since I had already sliced a lemon for the fish I tried it on the spinach.
I like it better. Give it a try sometime.
I also have a week of my own wine selections to look forward to, no compromises required:)

HOF AtC:
The best possible spin I can put on Sessions is that he realized this and decided to do the house cleaning as quietly as possible as an HR issue.
Posted by: MAGA at January 14, 2019 07:24 PM (TGZP6)
Comey wouldn't even confirm who was severely disciplined for the FBI framing Ted Stevens and, literally, interfering with a Senate election. Just, trust us, we totes dealt with that.
Nothing. Is. Going. To. Happen.
Nothing.
Spare me all the people who were fired. Who the hell is in jail.
In 2015, the FBI admitted ADMITTED that for over 20 years nearly every single "expert" in the hair analysis division had lied on the stand. Twenty years. Point blank made up the field of hair analysis. Something like 26 agents. All of which, again, admittedly, committed perjury. Of those cases, 32 were death penalty cases. By the time this was admitted, 14 people had been executed.
To the best of my knowledge, not a single person involved ever saw the second of the inside of a cell for that.
Don't tell me that there will be a house cleaning. There won't be.
Oh and the FBI burnt children to death in Waco, killed Randy Weaver's family, and killed Richard Jewell. It took decades for Richard Jewell to die, but kill him the FBI did.
Yeah, my loathing of the FBI is decades long and bone deep.
