The Eternal Sunshine Of The Impeachment Mind

Captain Ed describes things that won't be happening even though some Democrats will pretend otherwise.

When those tired Dem fantasies become too much I can turn on the local sports talk radio and listen to Mets fans describe the gee-whiz trade deadline moves the Mets can make to turn themselves into contenders.

To be fair, there are occasional crossover-fusion moments when Mets fans talk about ways to impeach the miserable Mets ownership or the clown-show front office. No talk of a Donald Trump for Boris Johnson trade, however...

"Insty linked a column Fromm bret Stephens. It’s one of the most pathetic, ridiculous things I’ve ever read."

I've related this VDH quip from a 2016 talk before but I'm reminded of it whenever Bret Stephens' name comes up. I paraphrase:
Trump getting elected was hard! But governing will be easy. Just get up each morning, read Bret Stephens' column and do the opposite"

Sitting at the Emergency Room. Ate shit on a ladder and my ankle took the brunt.

I was never knocked out but I lost about 80% of my vision as I laid in the sun. My wife quickly tended to me and immediately checked my BP to get an idea if I aggravated my aneurysm.

74/48.

My vision came back when I got inside and laid down for about 10min.

This happened about 2hrs ago. My current BP is 119/74. My normal BP (with medication) is 150ish/90ish.

Wish me luck.

By the way,thanks to JOM for keeping me informed about the current news. We don't have "live TV" in the woods,just as well.

Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera doubles down on support for President Trump after left-wing media attack

"Mr. President Trump — he was a friend of mine before he became the president," Rivera said. "So, because he's president I will turn my back on him? No."

Rivera also said he believes Trump is doing a good job running the country: "I respect him. I respect what he does. I believe that he's doing the best for the United States of America."

In regard to his association with pro-Israel groups, Rivera remained steadfast as well.

"My savior Jesus Christ — he's a Jew," he told the show's hosts. "So, how am I gonna turn my back and say I won't support Israel?"

Rivera also discussed how important his Christian faith is to him, recalling the power of prayer when his unborn son was expected to die but "was healed."

Yahoo Sports didn't seem convinced, however, concluding its piece by noting, "Appearing on a network that openly aligns itself with Trump and his policies, Rivera did not face any critical questioning of his viewpoints."

Former MSNBC Host: Network Pushes ‘Conspiracy Theories’ For Ratings

Former MNSBC host Krystal Ball criticized her former network Thursday for pushing "conspiracy theories" about Donald Trump and Russia after special counsel Robert Mueller's disappointing testimony before Congress.

Ball, formerly the liberal host of The Cycle and now host of The Hill's Rising, asked after Wednesday's testimony, "How much damage has MSNBC in particular done to the Left?"

Ball stressed that her critique was not a personal attack on her former colleagues, many of whom she still considers friends, but complained that "nearly all of [them] got swept up in the ratings bubble that was feverish Russian conspiracy theories."

"I dare to say, some talent did drink more deeply of the Russia conspiracy waters than others," she said. "Rachel Maddow, you got some explaining to do."

So attacking a HoF athlete because he supports our President is where we are now. Does anyone in the MSM point out how outlandish this is?

Parsing Trump, he is saying the R’s were gentlemen and didn’t chase anything. But it will stir things up.

Are sports and entertainment figures still feting and hanging out with the Clintons and Obama’s? The sitting president is usually the only game in town.

[Rocco]

Ext, some of the ways they smuggle drugs into a prison are ingenious. But then again, they have a lot of time to figure things out. Before they put glass up between the visitors and cons, a female visitor would keep a balloon full of drugs in her mouth, small enough to swallow and enter the visiting room and immediately buy a soda from the machine. When the con she's visiting meets her, they'd share a kiss and swap the balloon from their mouths, Then he'd take a big sip of soda to wash it down and wait for nature to take it's course. I've also seem mothers smuggle drugs in their baby's diaper.

All inmate mail is opened on one end by an electric machine that cuts of the end and the stamp removed in case drugs like blotter acid are behind it. The mail is shaken out and returned to the envelope without reading the contents of course, that's illegal. We found out they were separating the layers of the polaroid pictures, loading them up with heroine and pasting them back together. A rat told us about that method. And of course, when a judge gives someone a stay and they have to report on a certain date, they load up their ass (the safe) and walk right in.

Someone could have easily thrown a football over the wall into an inside yard where the cons exercised.
