A 10-year-old girl who has lived in the U.S. since she was an infant could be bound for a detention center now that has she recovered from emergency surgery in South Texas.
Rosamaria Hernandez, who has cerebral palsy, underwent gallbladder surgery this week at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi.
Her mother, Felipa Delacruz, said her daughter was medically released about 8 a.m. Wednesday but because of her lack of legal immigration status is likely bound for an immigration detention center somewhere else in Texas.
Attorney Leticia Gonzalez told the Caller-Times she is working with the hospital and federal immigration agency to allow the girl to instead be released to the family’s custody.
“She is not the typical 10-year-old,” Gonzalez said. “We are hopeful Border Patrol sees the bigger picture here.”
They are sick and at this point I am ready to consider them evil. There seems to be no end to the tragedies they’re willing to perpetrate. I don’t know how this isn’t – this immigration mess they’ve created & all the horror visited by ICE – isn’t being investigated by the UN at the very least.

Hard to get back in the fray after 3 weeks hiking and reconnecting with friends in New England. Acutely aware other people never get a break, so I will resume advocacy. Missed you all while I was leaf peeping.
So glad you had joyful relaxing days away from the fray for awhile. Even warrior queens like you need to step back to renew and re-connect to remind yourself that much of life is still beautiful as you care for yourself😊
Thanks, CEB! Current task – looking up and publicizing all ACA navigator help events in Portland. We are our brothers’ keepers and our sisters’ keepers.
This isn’t just a marathon, it’s a relay or we’ll all burn ourselves out. I took a break, too, although I’ve missed all of you terribly. Lots of work issues, health issues for Mr. 57, and very bad pain issues for me. But I continue to engage, fight, do whatever I can. But I need my TOD family to recharge!
Wow. I have a feeling that the top general brass don’t have ANY respect left for the Blamer-in-Chief.
That being said, I think that Trump has indeed given free reign to the military. He has been too lazy AND too coward to assume the WORK and the RESPPONSIBILITIES of the Commander-in-Chief.
It’s good that the world can see how awful this idiot really is. No empathy. No compassion. No self control. Absolutely disgusting. He shouldn’t be making any further condolence calls since he has nothing comforting to say to those who are bereaved.
The partisan brinkmanship that has all but derailed the Russia investigations launched by the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee leaves the Senate Intelligence Committee panel the lone panel where both parties appear committed to carrying out a bipartisan inquiry. But even that committee’s chairman, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), has hesitated to defy Trump. At a news conference this month, he refused to endorse the conclusion by US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win election.
Another sign of the shift we've seen in @realDonaldTrump's businesses. As he loses old, apolitical clients, he gains clients who want something from govt. https://t.co/lVWxOksLJq
Unlike Trump, there was no question of their intelligence and pedigree. Trump speaks like a child and his tweets are full of grammatical and spelling errors. There is no evidence that he had a first rate education.
Obama and his admin’s complete contempt for cable noise knowthing pundtwits got just justified. The entire tevee and movie industry is brimming with scums and turd is the prime example.
So now we know why Halperin was smiling so much with trump on the campaign trail.
And MJ on MSNBC without Halperin today – is 100% anti trump. They even had a RWNJ on ranting about the wonder of the tax Reform (well actually tax cuts) & held him to account that what he was saying just would not work. I may have missed it – but did not hear a word about Hillary & that dossier.
Though I know there’s a lot to dislike about Joe Scarborough, I used to watch (the end) of that show back when I had a TV (airs from 3am-6am on the US west coast, so only saw the last hour [or less] back then).
He would often mention how fiscally and militarily reckless GWB was, so it’s no surprise that he’s peeved with the grotesque evil currently occupying the WH.
But man, oh man, he and Mika didn’t help by treating grotesque evil as an honored celebrity, a person of integrity, during the campaign. 😦
Like every other media pundit – MJ & team had much to do with electing insanity into the WH and for the past 9 months they have continued with the “both sides” & attacking HRC on a regular basis. I don’t watch all the time but was stuck by the difference when Halperin was absent. Last remaining trump supporter on the show – last one scared of what the monster might tweet about him.
Seeing as the republicans & the media attacked Weinstein non stop, they have opened the floodgates & can no longer defend their own.
This Perv called Pres Obama a Pus*y on an XM Radio Show before he was LIVE on Morning Joke & called Pres Obama a Dick. Karma loathes Ugliness. This time, MSNBC & NBC can’t hide. He will eventually be fired. Not after Mika B. raved, ranted, RIGHTLY so on Weinstein & made it Unacceptable for her to continue her Book contracts w/a Weinstein Book Firm or something.
rethugs’ cancerous corruption of all institutions – from judiciary to executive to military to law enforcement – for decades and the result is the price americans are paying now and probably forever.

This concerns the middle class and is the heart of the IGMFY group.THEY are Republicans because of taxes and money. You phuck with that, and they will come for you.
These folks will not have guns or abortion or the little Baby Jesus ,or other shiny objects thrown at them.
For the same reason why the local tax deduction is no longer floated..
There are close to 50 GOPers from these states, and these Reps would be committing career suicide

I’ve written before about problems with the provision of the Republican tax framework that President Donald Trump touts as good for small businesses.
This tax break would ensure that people who own so-called pass-through businesses would be taxed at no more than 25% on income from those businesses, unlike wages, which may currently be taxed at rates up to 39.6%.
A major problem with this proposal is that most small businesses wouldn’t benefit. More than 80% of tax filers with small-business income are already taxed at rates of 25% or less, so only the wealthiest business owners, who currently face high tax brackets, would get a tax cut.
And many of the businesses getting the tax advantage wouldn’t be small. The president, who would surely contest the idea that his own businesses are small, would get a big tax break from this provision.
But now another problem with the proposal is starting to get attention in Congress – a problem that will make this provision a huge mess even if you like the idea of a big tax cut for business owners.
Kelly saw nothing wrong with SEPARATING PARENTS AND CHILDREN IN CUSTODY!!
Think on that.
Uh huh
Uh huh
New York Times this morning;
This past summer, the Trump administration debated lowering the annual cap on refugees admitted to the United States. Should it stay at 110,000, be cut to 50,000 or fall somewhere in between? John F. Kelly offered his opinion. If it were up to him, he said, the number would be between zero and one.
Mr. Kelly’s comment made its way around the White House, according to an administration official, and reinforced what is only now becoming clear to many on the outside. While some officials had predicted Mr. Kelly would be a calming chief of staff for an impulsive president, recent days have made clear that he is more aligned with President Trump than anticipated.
This canonization of Kelly from the left (before he fantastically blew it over La David Johnson) was always absurd. He deported with glee at DHS. He said women in combat would “lower” standards. He’s been a GOP sociopathic monster his entire career. It sickens me to watch the left canonize everyone who makes one decent utterance. We waste time, energy, and proper framing when we forget – even for an instant – who are enemies are.

There’s no evidence beyond what we already knew to suspect that Steele had an incentive to skew his reports. And Steele’s behavior is certainly curious if he thought he was working in close cooperation with the Clinton campaign. For example, when he felt that the information he was providing to Fusion GPS was too explosive to leave to them, he made the decision to contact the FBI:
Steele dutifully filed his first incendiary report with Fusion on June 20, but was this the end of his responsibilities? He knew that what he had unearthed, he’d say in his anonymous conversation with Mother Jones, “was something of huge significance, way above party politics.” Yet was it simply a vanity to think that a retired spy had to take it on his shoulders to save the world? And what about his contractual agreement with Simpson? Could the company sue, he no doubt wondered, if he disseminated information he’d collected on its dime?
In the end, Steele found the rationale that is every whistle-blower’s sustaining philosophy: the greater good trumps all other concerns. And so, even while he kept working his sources in the field and continued to shoot new memos to Simpson, he settled on a plan of covert action.
The F.B.I.’s Eurasian Joint Organized Crime Squad—“Move Over, Mafia,” the bureau’s P.R. machine crowed after the unit had been created—was a particularly gung-ho team with whom Steele had done some heady things in the past. And in the course of their successful collaboration, the hard-driving F.B.I. agents and the former frontline spy evolved into a chummy mutual-admiration society.
It was only natural, then, that when he began mulling whom to turn to, Steele thought about his tough-minded friends on the Eurasian squad. And fortuitously, he discovered, as his scheme took on a solid operational commitment, that one of the agents was now assigned to the bureau office in Rome. By early August, a copy of his first two memos were shared with the F.B.I.’s man in Rome.
“Shock and horror”—that, Steele would say in his anonymous interview, was the bureau’s reaction to the goodies he left on its doorstep. And it wanted copies of all his subsequent reports, the sooner the better.
So Steele himself said that he gave the info to the FBI? I’ve heard it was the Clinton campaign that gave it, and others who might have given it.
Understand, Comey knew this months before the election. He wouldn’t make the investigation public because it might affect the election. But the HRC bogus email story helped flip the election.
The left canonized him when he stood up to Trump. And thank you for that, Mr. Comey. But we give them all too much credit, while they continue to do severe damage.
I thought the same thing when I saw the news about Halpern. No one is talking about Steve Kroft anymore either. Remember how rude he was to PBO in all of those interviews then his sex scandal was uncovered? PBO knew not to waste his time with vengeance because he knew it was all to distract him from doing his job. Plus, he is a grown-ass man who knows who he is, is confident withi himself and has nothing to prove. Dignity and light, going high when others go low are difficult to do when one is assailed on all sides, but in the long run it is the best move. I keep thinking of the scripture that says “vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

A New York Times report explained yesterday, “The Republican tax plan is a bit like having a baby to save a failing marriage. With divisions roiling the party, the prospect of a once-in-a-generation bill to cut taxes on businesses and individuals increasingly appears to be the last, best hope for a fractured establishment desperate to find common ground and advance an effort it has long championed as the pinnacle of Republican orthodoxy.”
…………………………………
Fewer than a third of Americans support Donald Trump’s tax-cut plan, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, as the U.S. president went to Capitol Hill looking for Republican backing for his proposal to slash tax rates for individuals and companies.
A new Fox News poll, released late yesterday, offered a variety of results on taxes, but among the findings was evidence that 78% of Americans are “frustrated” that “the wealthy are paying too little in taxes.” Another recent Fox News poll found that 59% disapprove of lowering taxes on corporations.
The entire Republican gambit is predicated on the polar opposite conclusions.
Another sexual predator has been forced to “step back.” Mark Halpern, the ABC then CNN, correspondent who called PBO a “dick” and was hyper-critical and offensive toward PBO during the entire 8 years is out. Halpern, it turns out is the actual little dick that was acting like a big one to numerous women. More and more, it is brave women stepping up and bringing their abusers to account. These powerful and influential men have preyed on them and been an over-all asshole to anyone that they thought were subordinate to them, and each day they are finally being outed and taken down after, in some cases, decades of abuse. I hope that the women who have been preyed upon by the predator-in-chief, will be able to get the support that they need to once again come forth, be believed and defended so that this disgrace can be removed. Everyday that he is in the WH extends the pain of all survivors of abuse. Too have to see his image, hear people talk about him everyday, and to see him on the world stage with the power to harm millions must be so sickening, and I am sure has triggered many. Many are living the ultimate nightmare of helplessness in the wake of knowing that for more than 62 million of their fellow citizens, many of whom are women, are fine with a self-confessed sexual predator holding the highest office in the land and in much of the world.
I have to give a lot of props to Ronan Farrow. It was his determination to get the story out about Weinstein that started the cascade. NBC told him no, he had to pay for videographers out of his own pocket, and he stuck with the story until he found a media outlet (kudos to The New Yorker) that would get the story out. The brave women had a trust-worthy ally in Ronan. I hear that now all kinds of media outlets are courting him. I hope he lands somewhere that has integrity and will allow him the resources and the space to do such life-changing work.
Agree. I also think his mother Mia Farrow helped him proceed, behind the scenes. (Yes, because I’m a mother of a son, of course, and I always “credit the mother” – Ha!)

The board said Wednesday that it intends to appoint Noel Zamot, a retired Air Force colonel and member of the oversight panel, to oversee daily operations of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.
The decision comes as House and Senate Democrats called for an investigation into the utility’s agreement with Whitefish Energy. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) pledged to examine the grid-rebuilding efforts at an upcoming hearing of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which she chairs. San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz on Tuesday told Yahoo News that the contract should be “voided right away.”…
Whitefish and the utility struck an agreement on Sept. 26, six days after Maria swept through, without a formal bidding process. About 80 percent of customers still have no electricity.
Under the contract, Whitefish is charging $330 an hour for a site supervisor and $227.88 an hour for a “journeyman lineman.” The cost for subcontractors, which make up the bulk of Whitefish’s workforce, is $462 per hour for a supervisor and $319.04 for a lineman.
“PREPA has made clear it is not equipped for the enormous task of quickly restoring the Island’s power,” Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-N.Y.) said in a statement, using the acronym for the utility. “The Authority’s dubious decision to contract with a small, inexperienced and obscure company further underscored the need for intervention.”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the contract with Whitefish “highly suspect” and urged inspectors general to investigate…

Putting aside principles, Graham says, ‘I’m trying to get taxes cut’
10/26/17 10:06 AM
By Steve Benen
In a rather dramatic speech on the Senate floor this week, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) declared, “There are times when we must risk our careers in favor of our principles. Now is such a time.”
The Arizona Republican, in remarks that were intended as a rebuke to Donald Trump, added that officials’ principles and obligations “are far more important than politics…. Acting on conscience and principle is the manner in which we express our moral selves and as such, loyalty to conscience and principle should supersede loyalty to any man or party.”
As Vanity Fair noted, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) seemed sympathetic to his colleague’s concerns, but only to a point.
“I like him a lot,” Graham said on Wednesday when asked about Flake’s speech. “I think it’s a loss to the Senate. I share some of his concerns about what the president said, about the way he behaves. The election is over. I’m focused on results, and that’s why I’m here. I’d rather not be a constant critic. I’ll stand up when I need to, but I’m trying to get taxes cut.” […]
Graham, as you may recall, once described Trump as a “jackass” and an “idiot,” but now that they’re working together to deliver a gigantic tax cut to corporate America and the rich disguised as tax relief for the middle-class, he describes the president a little differently: “He’s a dealmaker, and he’s extremely flexible,” Graham told The Washington Post,
It was a balmy 32 degrees when the US ambassador to New Zealand, Scott Brown, touched down in Apia, the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Samoa.
Brown had flown in with his wife, Gail Huff, in July for a party to celebrate 50 years of the peace corps in the country. It was his inaugural visit to Samoa – of which he is also the official US representative – and one he was looking forward to.
The party was intended as the climax of the ambassador’s trip, a night of celebration. People were in high spirits. They were offered beer, wine, champagne and local hors d’oeuvres, including slices of taro topped with palusami, spring rolls and chicken skewers.
But something went wrong that night. As one attendee describes it, something was “off” and the party is now at the centre of a US state department investigation over the ambassador’s conduct toward two women.
Brown admitted on Wednesday that he was being investigated by officials who had flown to Wellington to interview him.

The apparent and surprisingly abrupt demise in Steve Bannon’s influence offers a major potential opening for neoconservatives, many of whom opposed Trump’s election precisely because of his association with Bannon and the “America Firsters,” to return to power after so many years of being relegated to the sidelines. Bannon’s decline suggests that he no longer wields the kind of veto power that prevented the nomination of Elliott Abrams as deputy secretary of state.
I can only imagine how Bannon feels about seeing neoconservative stalwart Lindsey Graham positioning himself to have the ear of the president:
Three times in a single day last week, Senator Lindsey Graham’s cellphone rang. The first time, President Trump called about the health care fight in Congress. The second time, the president thanked the senator for defending his honor on television. Then Mr. Trump rang seeking more intelligence on health care.
Mr. Graham — Republican of South Carolina and a one-time target of the president’s barbs on Twitter — has transformed himself into the Senate’s Trump whisperer, shrugging off the White House chaos, personal insults and deep ideological differences in exchange for Mr. Trump’s ear.
…………………………….
Graham recently injected himself into the health care debate, which is an area where he has previously shown little interest and less expertise. And it’s true that these recent calls pertained to health care and not foreign policy. But Graham is establishing trust and a working relationship which he will attempt to use in foreign policy going forward.
In the tweet above, the president basically insinuated that the FBI had colluded with the Russians and the Democrats to produce the dossier, and so I’ve suggested that it is very likely that they will be the next target. Take a look at how that was affirmed when Tucker Carlson interviewed Rep. Nunes (who has reversed his recusal from the Russia investigation) last night.
Their conversation focused completely on the role of the FBI with the Steele dossier, and is loaded with distortions and lies. Carlson even went so far as to ask, “So is there anything more terrifying than the prospect of an armed rogue agency?” Think about that. An interviewer refers to the FBI as “an armed rogue agency” and a member of Congress simply nods in agreement. Apparently the long knives have come out.
At the root of all of this is the assertion made in Trump’s tweet that the FBI paid for the Steele dossier (they considered doing so, but didn’t) and whether they actually investigated its assertions (gasp!) One thing that has been missing from most of the discussion about all of this is that when the dossier was shared with Sen. John McCain last December, he immediately turned in over to the FBI. As Martin has written, they already had it because it had been given to them by Christopher Steele. But the point is that it wasn’t just Democrats and the FBI who were concerned about what he was finding.
These attacks on the FBI, along with John Solomon’s lies and distortions about the fact that they investigated a racketeering scheme involving a Russian nuclear official, are designed to undermine the agency that was initially involved in investigating the Trump/Russia connection as well as Robert Mueller, who has taken it over as the independent prosecutor.

Immigration detention in sight for girl with cerebral palsy in Texas
A 10-year-old girl who has lived in the U.S. since she was an infant could be bound for a detention center now that has she recovered from emergency surgery in South Texas.
Rosamaria Hernandez, who has cerebral palsy, underwent gallbladder surgery this week at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi.
Her mother, Felipa Delacruz, said her daughter was medically released about 8 a.m. Wednesday but because of her lack of legal immigration status is likely bound for an immigration detention center somewhere else in Texas.
Attorney Leticia Gonzalez told the Caller-Times she is working with the hospital and federal immigration agency to allow the girl to instead be released to the family’s custody.
“She is not the typical 10-year-old,” Gonzalez said. “We are hopeful Border Patrol sees the bigger picture here.”
They are sick and at this point I am ready to consider them evil. There seems to be no end to the tragedies they’re willing to perpetrate. I don’t know how this isn’t – this immigration mess they’ve created & all the horror visited by ICE – isn’t being investigated by the UN at the very least.

Harry Truman said “The bucks stop here.” He is supposed to be the Commander-in-Chief. How long is this charade going to go on?
It was your generals, wasn’t it?
How convenient that he tries to shift the blame from himself to others. This is a man who isn’t fit to be in the White House.
And he called it “MY” military. I wanted to reach through the tee vee and strangle him.
Wow. I have a feeling that the top general brass don’t have ANY respect left for the Blamer-in-Chief.
That being said, I think that Trump has indeed given free reign to the military. He has been too lazy AND too coward to assume the WORK and the RESPPONSIBILITIES of the Commander-in-Chief.
Worst President in history, by far. Unbelievable.
It’s good that the world can see how awful this idiot really is. No empathy. No compassion. No self control. Absolutely disgusting. He shouldn’t be making any further condolence calls since he has nothing comforting to say to those who are bereaved.

Barack Obama and Charleston’s Bill Murray golf together again in Va.

from the article
The partisan brinkmanship that has all but derailed the Russia investigations launched by the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee leaves the Senate Intelligence Committee panel the lone panel where both parties appear committed to carrying out a bipartisan inquiry. But even that committee’s chairman, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), has hesitated to defy Trump. At a news conference this month, he refused to endorse the conclusion by US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win election.
all those checks & balances now have an entirely different meaning. literally.

And ol’ Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, “back in the day.”
Unlike Trump, there was no question of their intelligence and pedigree. Trump speaks like a child and his tweets are full of grammatical and spelling errors. There is no evidence that he had a first rate education.
Yes! Barely evidence he got out of the day care center, to quote some latter-day U.S. Senator.
These people *earned* their way in. No doubt, 45’s father paid his way in… and probably paid for his degree.

I’ve been remiss and haven’t been here for the past couple of days 😦 , but when I saw this, just had to share.
Could not have happened to a better person — we Obots will never forget or forgive this *dick* for calling PBO one over the broadcast airwaves.
#karma
Good morning all. #karma indeed. My immediate reaction was same as yours. Even before he called PO “dick”, he always seemed slimy to me.
Which explains why he sucked up to Trump during the election cycle. Birds of a feather, flock together.
hey – I said that down below – and then saw your post Great minds 🙂
Obama and his admin’s complete contempt for cable noise knowthing pundtwits got just justified. The entire tevee and movie industry is brimming with scums and turd is the prime example.
So now we know why Halperin was smiling so much with trump on the campaign trail.
And MJ on MSNBC without Halperin today – is 100% anti trump. They even had a RWNJ on ranting about the wonder of the tax Reform (well actually tax cuts) & held him to account that what he was saying just would not work. I may have missed it – but did not hear a word about Hillary & that dossier.
GE 99ts.
Thanks for the Morning Joe update.
Though I know there’s a lot to dislike about Joe Scarborough, I used to watch (the end) of that show back when I had a TV (airs from 3am-6am on the US west coast, so only saw the last hour [or less] back then).
He would often mention how fiscally and militarily reckless GWB was, so it’s no surprise that he’s peeved with the grotesque evil currently occupying the WH.
But man, oh man, he and Mika didn’t help by treating grotesque evil as an honored celebrity, a person of integrity, during the campaign. 😦
Hello arapaho
Like every other media pundit – MJ & team had much to do with electing insanity into the WH and for the past 9 months they have continued with the “both sides” & attacking HRC on a regular basis. I don’t watch all the time but was stuck by the difference when Halperin was absent. Last remaining trump supporter on the show – last one scared of what the monster might tweet about him.
Seeing as the republicans & the media attacked Weinstein non stop, they have opened the floodgates & can no longer defend their own.
This Perv called Pres Obama a Pus*y on an XM Radio Show before he was LIVE on Morning Joke & called Pres Obama a Dick. Karma loathes Ugliness. This time, MSNBC & NBC can’t hide. He will eventually be fired. Not after Mika B. raved, ranted, RIGHTLY so on Weinstein & made it Unacceptable for her to continue her Book contracts w/a Weinstein Book Firm or something.
Liar-in-Chief says what now? Who is buying his b.s.?
rethugs’ cancerous corruption of all institutions – from judiciary to executive to military to law enforcement – for decades and the result is the price americans are paying now and probably forever.
I left out the fucking press.
it has been a lil more than 50 years since the CRA and the VRA has been passed..it was not easy to bend that arc towards Justice…i think of the 1000s of blk folks who were lynched and all the other atrocities and indignities my people have suffered….this slide back scares me to no end….esp with the courts…i think of the Pettus Bridge…and the courageous men and women who continued to cross that bridge..knowing that they might be beaten or worse…and i say to myself…Have their Courage…..have their tenacity…be strong…..
Happy Birthday, Hillary Clinton. Enjoy your day. Morning everyone:)

BUt, I believe that they will fail.
This concerns the middle class and is the heart of the IGMFY group.THEY are Republicans because of taxes and money. You phuck with that, and they will come for you.
These folks will not have guns or abortion or the little Baby Jesus ,or other shiny objects thrown at them.
For the same reason why the local tax deduction is no longer floated..
There are close to 50 GOPers from these states, and these Reps would be committing career suicide
Hummm….
I’m so disgusted that this great man has been made a pariah, an untouchable. I hope he wins his lawsuit BIG TIME.
Me too. I have a feeling things will work in his favor when all is said and done. His protest is grounded in reality and came from a pure and good place.
I tend to agree. Joe Madison always reminds: Difference between a moment and a movement is sacrifice. When speaking about CP, he then talks about the sacrifice he has/is made/making.
Women made this happen while the men covered up. Kudos to these brave women.
There is not one woman out there who doesn’t understand this very, very clearly.

The world is full of them.
This is the dirty piece of caca that call my president a dick. Now look at him, he is a dick, the dick…Psalm 91 man, I tell you karma is coming at them, one by one.
KARMA COME THROUGH!!! So glad this “RICHARD” is getting his comeuppance.
If he’s supposed to be so smart, how come he sounds like a bumbling idiot? Rhetorical question
wish the emmessem would ignore the nut’s stupid ramblings and would start hammering on his performance.
I posted this before. She is so articulate.
And the children shall lead them: I hope her device has been marketed and is in use. Her work shows that there have been answers all the time (the first thing is to not allow this to happen), but the damn republican govt. to save a few coins and the fact that they care nothing for people who are struggling committed murder and are still getting away with it. All of these meetings to talk about what everyone knows to be true and nothing being done about it.
Awesome.
I hope she patents it before the greedy vultures start copying it.
Me too:) Morning, amk:)
LOVE this. Makes me miss PBO’s science fairs!!

I’ll say it again…
Kelly saw nothing wrong with SEPARATING PARENTS AND CHILDREN IN CUSTODY!!
Think on that.
Uh huh
Uh huh
This canonization of Kelly from the left (before he fantastically blew it over La David Johnson) was always absurd. He deported with glee at DHS. He said women in combat would “lower” standards. He’s been a GOP sociopathic monster his entire career. It sickens me to watch the left canonize everyone who makes one decent utterance. We waste time, energy, and proper framing when we forget – even for an instant – who are enemies are.

The Steele Dossier Looks More Credible Than Ever
by Martin Longman
October 25, 2017
……………………………………..
There’s no evidence beyond what we already knew to suspect that Steele had an incentive to skew his reports. And Steele’s behavior is certainly curious if he thought he was working in close cooperation with the Clinton campaign. For example, when he felt that the information he was providing to Fusion GPS was too explosive to leave to them, he made the decision to contact the FBI:
So Steele himself said that he gave the info to the FBI? I’ve heard it was the Clinton campaign that gave it, and others who might have given it.
Understand, Comey knew this months before the election. He wouldn’t make the investigation public because it might affect the election. But the HRC bogus email story helped flip the election.
The left canonized him when he stood up to Trump. And thank you for that, Mr. Comey. But we give them all too much credit, while they continue to do severe damage.
Why Harvey Weinstein is disgraced but Donald Trump is president
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/26/16526922/harvey-weinstein-donald-trump-sexual-harassment
Isn’t it amazing how, one by one, all of PBO’s accusers have been brought low? Just wow.
yup. waiting for the last scum to be kneed and thrown behind bars.
I thought the same thing when I saw the news about Halpern. No one is talking about Steve Kroft anymore either. Remember how rude he was to PBO in all of those interviews then his sex scandal was uncovered? PBO knew not to waste his time with vengeance because he knew it was all to distract him from doing his job. Plus, he is a grown-ass man who knows who he is, is confident withi himself and has nothing to prove. Dignity and light, going high when others go low are difficult to do when one is assailed on all sides, but in the long run it is the best move. I keep thinking of the scripture that says “vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

On taxes, Americans aren’t buying what Republicans are selling
10/26/17 08:40 AM—UPDATED 10/26/17 08:43 AM
By Steve Benen
…………………………
A New York Times report explained yesterday, “The Republican tax plan is a bit like having a baby to save a failing marriage. With divisions roiling the party, the prospect of a once-in-a-generation bill to cut taxes on businesses and individuals increasingly appears to be the last, best hope for a fractured establishment desperate to find common ground and advance an effort it has long championed as the pinnacle of Republican orthodoxy.”
…………………………………
A new Fox News poll, released late yesterday, offered a variety of results on taxes, but among the findings was evidence that 78% of Americans are “frustrated” that “the wealthy are paying too little in taxes.” Another recent Fox News poll found that 59% disapprove of lowering taxes on corporations.
The entire Republican gambit is predicated on the polar opposite conclusions.
Another sexual predator has been forced to “step back.” Mark Halpern, the ABC then CNN, correspondent who called PBO a “dick” and was hyper-critical and offensive toward PBO during the entire 8 years is out. Halpern, it turns out is the actual little dick that was acting like a big one to numerous women. More and more, it is brave women stepping up and bringing their abusers to account. These powerful and influential men have preyed on them and been an over-all asshole to anyone that they thought were subordinate to them, and each day they are finally being outed and taken down after, in some cases, decades of abuse. I hope that the women who have been preyed upon by the predator-in-chief, will be able to get the support that they need to once again come forth, be believed and defended so that this disgrace can be removed. Everyday that he is in the WH extends the pain of all survivors of abuse. Too have to see his image, hear people talk about him everyday, and to see him on the world stage with the power to harm millions must be so sickening, and I am sure has triggered many. Many are living the ultimate nightmare of helplessness in the wake of knowing that for more than 62 million of their fellow citizens, many of whom are women, are fine with a self-confessed sexual predator holding the highest office in the land and in much of the world.
I have to give a lot of props to Ronan Farrow. It was his determination to get the story out about Weinstein that started the cascade. NBC told him no, he had to pay for videographers out of his own pocket, and he stuck with the story until he found a media outlet (kudos to The New Yorker) that would get the story out. The brave women had a trust-worthy ally in Ronan. I hear that now all kinds of media outlets are courting him. I hope he lands somewhere that has integrity and will allow him the resources and the space to do such life-changing work.
Agree. I also think his mother Mia Farrow helped him proceed, behind the scenes. (Yes, because I’m a mother of a son, of course, and I always “credit the mother” – Ha!)
and yet this woman was pushing garbage against a man who was the very antithesis of these scums for years. hypocrite.
Thanks for calling her out, amk. #WeRemember
Except for films that Weinstein may have produced, none of those creeps were ever my storytellers.

Putting aside principles, Graham says, ‘I’m trying to get taxes cut’
10/26/17 10:06 AM
By Steve Benen
In a rather dramatic speech on the Senate floor this week, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) declared, “There are times when we must risk our careers in favor of our principles. Now is such a time.”
The Arizona Republican, in remarks that were intended as a rebuke to Donald Trump, added that officials’ principles and obligations “are far more important than politics…. Acting on conscience and principle is the manner in which we express our moral selves and as such, loyalty to conscience and principle should supersede loyalty to any man or party.”
As Vanity Fair noted, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) seemed sympathetic to his colleague’s concerns, but only to a point.
and the beeb’s coverage is all about white women, including the drug cheat’s first round loss a week ago.

Scott Brown: more complaints surface over behaviour of US ambassador to New Zealand
Ambassador said to have been ‘culturally insensitive’ at party in Samoa and is alleged by one woman to have stared at her breasts
It was a balmy 32 degrees when the US ambassador to New Zealand, Scott Brown, touched down in Apia, the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Samoa.
Brown had flown in with his wife, Gail Huff, in July for a party to celebrate 50 years of the peace corps in the country. It was his inaugural visit to Samoa – of which he is also the official US representative – and one he was looking forward to.
The party was intended as the climax of the ambassador’s trip, a night of celebration. People were in high spirits. They were offered beer, wine, champagne and local hors d’oeuvres, including slices of taro topped with palusami, spring rolls and chicken skewers.
But something went wrong that night. As one attendee describes it, something was “off” and the party is now at the centre of a US state department investigation over the ambassador’s conduct toward two women.
Brown admitted on Wednesday that he was being investigated by officials who had flown to Wellington to interview him.
Pervert sent another pervert to make us look bad. Sending an fornicator to the Vatican too. So much winning!

Lindsey Graham Trades Principle for Influence
by Martin Longman
October 26, 2017
………………………….
I can only imagine how Bannon feels about seeing neoconservative stalwart Lindsey Graham positioning himself to have the ear of the president:
…………………………….
Graham recently injected himself into the health care debate, which is an area where he has previously shown little interest and less expertise. And it’s true that these recent calls pertained to health care and not foreign policy. But Graham is establishing trust and a working relationship which he will attempt to use in foreign policy going forward.
