Open thread.

MORE DISCLAIMERSI need your thoughts on a few things.

Mr. trump sending signals to his AG via twitter to shut down the Mueller investigation.

Mr. trump thinking that we need our ID cards to go grocery shopping.

The mob of trumpbots attacking Jim Acosta at a rally last night. Someone said that they looked like those mobs that used to attack African Americans back in the fifties and sixties, and they are right.

Another scandal at Ohio State and Jim Jordan is still in Congress.   

Sarah Sanders being the world's greatest liar. 

Mr. trump averaging almost eight lies per day.

The Nazi flag flying in a public park in Wyoming. 

The wingnuts phony war on Christmas crusade has already started.

    Why go all the way back to before you were born for examples of mob violence? Why just two years ago we had packs of leftists attacking Trump supporters while police watched. In fact, the Ninth Circuit just unanimously voted to let a lawsuit against the City of San Jose and its police department for standing aside as people leaving a Trump rally in San Jose were heinously assaulted by anti-Trump thugs:

  2. trump is gonna get his ass in trouble because he doesn't know the basics of the job. Maybe we'll learn that electing people to shake up things and outsiders doesn't end well. I guess fighting nazis only to have them reappear here is kinda ironic but not surprising. Somebody's gonna get hurt with trump demonizing the media but he's working the refs ahead of his indictment and impeachment. As far as the war on Christmas it'll get worse with Session's little religious liberty pout party. Most of us learned to share in kindergarten but these hard right Christians missed those lessons. If Jesus or Yeshua showed up today they'd call him a socialist who wanted to confiscate your guns and run him out on a rail.😆

  3. Another scandal at Ohio State and Jim Jordan is still in Congress.

    The ex-wife of an assistant coach says Urban Meyer knew about abuse allegations she made in 2015. If Meyer knew about this and didn't take it upon himself to be judge, jury and executioner, well, he's literally worse than Hitler.

    And as anyone who is proficient in Google might know, Jim Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach with Ohio State University's wrestling program from 1987 to 1995, i.e. he left Ohio State 20 years before this woman said the football coach knew she was abused.

    Except for the fact the crowd was mixed race and had a group of brothers right up in the front holding a "BLACKS FOR TRUMP" sign. Other than that, just like those mobs in the 50's and 60's.

    “Mr. trump thinking that we need our ID cards to go grocery shopping.”

    Not sure what to make of this.

    Is Trump referring to people needing ID to write checks at the grocery?

    Or is this more a “Trump has never been inside a grocery” sort of thing? (Because it’s the servants’ job to buy Trump’s steaks and the ketchup he squirts on them like the “short-fingered vulgarian” he is.)

  17. 1) Perhaps now that Mueller has documentation of Fergus' obstructing justice, Fergus is feeling a little uncomfortable about his future.

    2) He probably saw that on Fox and Friends.

    3) Gee, we whip morons into a frothing frenzy for fun and they do moronic and frenzied shit. Who could have known?

    4) Republican slimeballs are pretty slimy all right.

    5) I don't see anything great about her or her capacity to lie.

    6) It's safest to assume that every word Fergus says is a lie, including it, and, and the.

    7) Perhaps it's a Cheney thing?

  20. A very sad story just made the news tonight in San Diego County as a young Muslim girl whose family had fled Syria had settled into El Cajon, California. She was attending Greenfield Middle School. She has been complaining of harassment for the entire year and a half she has been in school, but this week it escalated. As she was walking home, eight to ten middle-schoolers followed her, hurling racist and anti-Muslim insults. They ended up ganging up on her, repeatedly slapping her and pulling her hair.

    Teachers, parents and activists are calling on the principal of the school to step down for not doing anything about this situation for over a year. The child is frightened to go to school. She clearly will not be returning to school any time soon.

    https://www.10news.com/news/group-calls-for-investigation-into-bullying-of-muslim-student-in-el-cajon

    This makes me particularly sad because for years I have held up my own community as an example of a city where immigrants and refugees are free to live their lives as a vital part of our community. Unfortunately, the East County is home to a slightly more aggresively conservative and xenophobic population. I can't help but blame the bad behavior of these tweens on the rise of Trump and the normalization of bigotry and hatred.

    Find it real interesting that Puerto Ricans all of a sudden want to be Americans when they've been protesting for years to become their own sovereign country. Now that Puerto Ricans need handouts they want to be American but they've been protesting against America to the point where they moved the military facilities out of Puerto Rico. How convenient.

    “5) I don't see anything great about her or her capacity to lie.”

    Hmmm. Maybe in this case, “great” is meant in the sense of “big,” as in the Great Depression.

    That’s at least plausible. I must admit, Suckabee is a pretty huge liar. Although she’s got a long way to go to catch up to her boss, who is the winner and still champion when it comes to overall volume of lies.

    “Great” is obviously not meant in the sense of “skillful”; both she and her boss tell flimsy, farcical lies that are easily debunked. However, conmen don’t necessarily tell brilliant lies; they are usually just good at picking their marks. To pull off an audacious hustle, you don’t have to be a genius — even a Very Stable one — you just have to lie to people dumber than you are. And Trumpkins fill the bill perfectly: They’re dumb as hell and, as a bonus, they even want to be lied to, because they don’t particularly like living in reality.

    “A sucker is born every minute.” PT Barnum devised Trump’s campaign strategy.

  54. From Karoli at Crooks and Liars:

    "Jim Jordan and his cabal of enablers has now widened to include former OSU wrestling coach Russ Hellickson, who reached out to at least two of the accusers to encourage them to recant their stories about Jordan failing to act on their reports of sexual abuse by the team doctor.

    NBC News has the story and screengrabs of the text messages:

    Yetts said Hellickson also called him later on July 4 and said he was under pressure from Jordan, who was an assistant wrestling coach at the university from 1986 to 1994, and from Jordan's supporters to make “a bold statement to defend Jimmy.”

    “He said, 'I will defend Jimmy until I have to put my hand on a Bible and be asked to tell the truth, then Jimmy will be on his own,'” Yetts said in an interview this week, recalling his conversation with Hellickson. “I told him, 'I’m going to contradict you, coach, because I’m telling the truth.'”"

Lowe’s, CVS, and Home Depot could have provided each of their workers a raise of $18,000 a year, the report found.
