It's an open thread night people. Tell me what's on your mind.
I have a few thoughts:
Omarosa is still dropping tapes like a hip hop producer.
Is being a racist a requirement to run for office in the GOP?
Is being the immediate family member of a white heterosexual male the most dangerous place one can find themselves in these days?
Your president is planning a 100 million dollar parade and vets are still dying in the streets.
FOX showed a picture of Patti LaBelle instead of Aretha Franklin today when mentioning her death. Personally, I am not surprised, because we all look alike to the folks over at FOX. Their explanation for the snafu just made things worse.
Speaking of FOX, can someone tell me when Japan was a Communist country? Apparently over at FOX that's a part of history now.
Finally, the special forces commander who led the bin Laden raid blasted trump today and told him to revoke his security clearance as well. Is he a patriot or a traitor in your eyes?

Neither, he's just a douche bag.

Many people on the far right believe that if we don't support Trump, we are communists. Japan doesn't support Trump, so Japan must have a history of communism.
Somehow the education system in our country seems to have failed about one-third of the population. There is a shocking ignorance of history and current events.
“Omarosa is still dropping tapes like a hip hop producer.”
No earth-shattering White House revelations yet, though. The Trumpster trash are as trashy as one would expect, but I personally can’t say have learned anything really new.
”Is being a racist a requirement to run for office in the GOP?”
Dear lord, that guy — Corey “Why is no one sticking up for those nice alt-right fellows in Charlottesville?” Stewart.
He is the most successful RepubliNazi candidate yet, if you don’t count Trump himself. Most of these fascist freakshows have gotten nominated for lesser offices, and only because they ran unopposed. But Stewart has gotten the GOP nomination for the freaking US Senate in a contested primary!
It is getting harder and harder to deny the reality that the Republican Party is a racist toilet.
“Is being the immediate family member of a white heterosexual male the most dangerous place one can find themselves in these days?”
There’s no reason to believe these sorts of killings are happening at a greater rate among whites than non-whites. But they probably aren’t happening at a lower rate either, because these are “crazy people” crimes, not ones motivated by economics. They are equal-opportunity murders.
”Your president is planning a 100 million dollar parade and vets are still dying in the streets.”
Trump cares nothing about actual military servicepeople. That should be abundantly clear by now. He just likes parades, or any events, that celebrate him. We can thank Emmanuel Macron for planting this idea in the empty head of our president, with the military parade he orchestrated to flatter Trump during his visit to Paris.
“FOX showed a picture of Patti LaBelle instead of Aretha Franklin today when mentioning her death. Personally, I am not surprised, because we all look alike to the folks over at FOX. Their explanation for the snafu just made things worse.”
Hey, at least they managed to find a black singer. That’s kinda close? LOL, I wouldn’t put it past them to have used a picture of Weezie from the Jeffersons.
“Speaking of FOX, can someone tell me when Japan was a Communist country? Apparently over at FOX that's a part of history now.”
Fox also thinks the UK has Muslim no-go zones.
And their sister station, Fox Business, thinks Denmark is a socialist hellhole (the majority of Danes enjoy a better standard of living than Americans).
"Finally, the special forces commander who led the bin Laden raid blasted trump today and told him to revoke his security clearance as well. Is he a patriot or a traitor in your eyes?"
Almost anyone is more patriotic than a quintessentially unAmerican president who is infuriated by the concept of a free press but also considers Russian spies rigging our elections to be no biggie.
FIELD asked:

To me he's a courageous patriot. May God bless him.
"Is being the immediate family member of a white heterosexual male the most dangerous place one can find themselves in these days?"
You have it ass backwards again, you meant niggers.

Deep State actor. PURGE
For anyone who still hasn’t seen this clip from the Sasha Baron Cohen show about three weeks ago:
Cohen trolls the hell out of a bunch of horrible rednecks from Kingman, AZ, by telling them to celebrate the news that a new mosque is coming to their town! It does not go well.
“Tell me about your dream mosque.”
Lolololol!
Can anyone guess how many of these folks are likely to be Trump supporters?

You may not have to be a racist to be in the GOP but you definitely have to be comfortable with racists.
As a special operator dude has to know a thing or two about security clearances and if he senses goofiness I have to take his expertise.
As far as trump's economic plan some studies suggest that we will need trillions in infrastructure money while he drains the coffers. Corporations and the wealthy have done extremely well the last few years and it doesn't seem too outrageous to ask them to kick in a few more bucks.

Yes, it takes inestimable courage to publicly criticize Trump. Finally, someone has dared to speak up. But there is a cost to such bravery. He'll probably be slammed in the major media, get fired, lose any chance at corporate speaking fees, get de-platformed from Facebook/Twitter/Google, and have crazy protesters outside his house for weeks.
Putin might even do him like Seth Rich.
A profile in courage, indeed.

> Is being a racist a requirement to run for office in the GOP?
Awww, are you sad that your old worn-out magic word doesn't work any more?
Cry me a river.
> Is being the immediate family member of a white heterosexual male the most dangerous place one can find themselves in these days?
Being black in St. Louis or New Orleans (or Compton) is a lot more dangerous. Not that you'd ever acknowledge this.
> It is getting harder and harder to deny the reality that the Republican Party is a racist toilet.
It is fun to watch you freak out over the growing impotence of the "racist" slur. Blacks are the most racist group in America. Everyone else is becoming just as race-centric as you out of self-defense, and you're melting down. Hilarious!
> they probably aren’t happening at a lower rate either
They are happening at a VASTLY lower rate, not that you'd ever believe or admit it. Here is what you do not understand: YOU ARE NOT LIKE US.
> Trump ...just likes parades, or any events, that celebrate him.
Trump will take your hysterical reaction to the parade and club you with it. So will any American candidate for office who's worth their salt. (By "American" I mean non-cucked Republicans only; no Recucklicans or Dhimmicrats qualify.)
"YOU ARE NOT LIKE US."
You got that one right, and infinite thanks for it being true.
1)Yawn.
2) No, but it certainly helps if you can talk like one. How does it go? "Not all Republicans are racist, but most racists are Republican."
3) Probably not by the numbers, but only because there are still a lot of them around.
4) If only Macron had staged a parade for their vastly superior healthcare system and safety net, perhaps those veterans might be getting some attention. It would only be symbolic, but it might have been better than the giant fuck you that they're getting in the form of a hundred mil of military money spent to jack off Fergus.
5) They are just white and ignorant enough to not know when their attempt at an explanation is making it worse.
6) Japan as a country and a culture were just about as far from communism as you could get, but as history is toxic to Republicans, I guess we can't expect them to understand that.
7) It doesn't make him a traitor to speak his mind about the government, although that seems to be a common misconception among Republicans when their idiot has the top job. They were really rabid about criticism of W also, as I seem to remember.
On the other hand, it probably doesn't make him a patriot (he already made that distinction by getting bin Laden), just relatively sane.

2001-2008: Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism! Stop the War! The CIA is evil!
2009-2016: Questioning authority is Treason! War is cool! Yay CIA!
2016- : Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism! War is cool! Yay CIA!
John Brennan was CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia when the Khobar Towers were bombed. He was deputy exec. director of the agency on 9/11. He was CIA chief of staff during the Iraq WMD debacle. And he ran the CIA when it spied on Congress (which he lied about under oath).
Remember when Obama's passport records were breached during the 2008 presidential campaign?
Obama was the only one of the three presidential candidates involved who had his passport file breached on three separate occasions. The first occurred Jan. 9, 2008, followed by separate violations Feb. 21 and March 14, 2008. Moreover, all three of the offending employees had breached Obama’s files, while each of the passport files of McCain and Clinton had been breached only once.
The New York Times noted the two offending State Department contract employees who were fired had worked for Stanley Inc., a company based in Arlington, Va., while the reprimanded worker continued to be employed by the Analysis Corporation of McLean, Va.
Analysis Corporation was headed by John Brennan, a former CIA agent .
After Obama’s inauguration, Brennan joined the White House as assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counter-terrorism.
By March 22, 2008, the Washington Times reported that the State Department investigation had focused on the contract worker for the Analysis Corporation, because he was the only one of the three involved in breaching the passport records of both Obama and McCain, the two presidential candidates whose eligibility as “natural born” citizens under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution were in question.
Investigative reporter Kenneth Timmerman said a well-placed but unnamed source told him that the real point of the passport breach incidents was to cauterize the Obama file, removing from it any information that could prove damaging to his eligibility to be president.
According to the theory, the breaches of McCain’s and Clinton’s files were done for misdirection purposes, to create confusion and to suggest the motives of the perpetrators were attributable entirely to innocent curiosity.
Within a few days, a new witness surfaced unexpectedly, providing evidence that breaching passport files was an offense being perpetrated by State Department officials on a massive and everyday basis.
The case centered on Leiutenant Quarles Harris Jr., age 24. Harris, who spelled his named differently than the officer rank, was a petty drug dealer and identity-theft criminal who never served in the military or in any police or fire department.
What was clear from Harris’ statements was that breaching passport records at the State Department had developed into major criminal activity conducted on a continuing basis by State Department employees with access to the State Department’s Passport Information Electronic Records System, commonly known by the acronym PIERS.
What also was clear was that Harris had information related to the State Department employees who had breached Obama’s passport records and that he was cooperating with government officials.
Despite the objection of the prosecutors, the judge at his arraignment released Harris the next day on personal recognizance. He was ordered to return to court for a hearing in June 2008.
However, Harris did not live to attend the court hearing.
On April 18, 2008, he was found murdered in Washington, D.C., by a single bullet to the head in what appeared to be a drive-by shooting.
The Washington Times reported April 19, 2008, that a “key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church” at close range, around 11 p.m., in the 2800 block of 12th Street NE, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
But this is not the end of the story.
Two weeks after the report that Obama’s passport records had been breached, candidate Obama made the surprising disclosure at a private fundraiser April 7, 2008, that he had traveled to Pakistan during his college years.
Jake Tapper, then senior White House correspondent for ABC News, commented that Obama’s disclosure that he had taken a college trip to Pakistan was “news to most of us.” Tapper said “it was odd we hadn’t heard about it before, given all the talk of Pakistan during this campaign.”
Tapper reported that, according to the Obama campaign, Obama visited Pakistan in 1981, the year he transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University, and that he had visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia on the same trip.
Why was Obama disclosing now, for the first time, that he had traveled to Pakistan with his roommates from Occidental College?
Did Obama use an Indonesian passport to travel to Indonesia and Pakistan in 1981, and was he concerned the breach of his passport records might end up disclosing such information, if true?
The attempt to preempt such a disclosure might explain the timing of Obama’s decision to suddenly reveal, at least to the friends assembled for the fundraiser, the previously undisclosed trip to Indonesia and Pakistan.
“I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college,” Obama is heard saying on the poor-quality audiotape that survives from the San Francisco fundraiser. “I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.”
Let’s get real. The mainstream corporate press has never been freer. It floridly excoriates the president every day, with unprecedented vehemence and unity. Meanwhile that same multi-billion dollar press crusades against fringe media and pushes for it to be silenced.
How does revoking John Brennan's security clearance inhibit his "free speech"?
The important thing about Ainsly Earhardt is how she crosses her legs. The camera is below the waist at least 75% of the time. When she recrosses her legs without showing too much thigh, it is a victory for good taste and decorum. When she almost, just by a feather, exposes the holiest camera angle of all, the coveted beaver shot, yet oh so gently avoids it, then she is reaffirmed as a true right wing goddess.

Obama went to Pakistan to visit family friends. End of conspiracy.
stoopid fucking NAZI Colorado bakery from Sheila Kennedy's excellent blog (she is a lawyer/law professor)- Leaving aside the (strong) legal justification for civil rights laws, here’s what strikes me about Masterpiece Cakeshop, the sequel.
As I’ve previously noted, if I owned a bakery, and I sincerely didn’t want to bake a cake for a customer (for any reason–maybe the customer has just been a pain in the derriere), I would simply say something like, “Gee, Mrs. Smith, I am so backed up with orders that I can’t take any more until after the date you need the cake,” or “I’m so sorry, Mr. Jones, but I’m short-handed right now…”
In other words, there are lots of ways you can refrain from “participating in sin” without issuing a self-righteous sermon to justify the abstention.
The problem with a common sense solution such as this is the low caliber, stoopid fucking, unqualified right wing dumbass judges who determine any restriction on a right wing so called kristian is an insurmountable burden for them. Then the same judges turn around and decide no burden is too great for a woman seeking bodily autonomy-i.e. wanting an abortion.
In summation, fuck you stoopid fucking wasicu wasteys.

This week’s martyr to freedom is a former top spy who droned people with Hellfire missiles for a living and illegally surveilled congress and says his right to free speech is being ‘suppressed’ for losing access to state secrets he can’t legally discuss anyway.
Do you realize how lame this narrative is?
Thomas Jefferson on the press:
"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day."
“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”
“I deplore... the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them... These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food.”

Sorry about that partial duplicate entry no. 5. Should have caught it in review.
Thomas Jefferson also said, “And were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
He may not have enjoyed being criticized in the press; no politician does. But he didn’t declare them “the opposition” or the “enemies of the people.”
However, Jefferson’s predecessor, John Adams, did pull a Trumpian move and attempt to punish his critics for saying mean things about him. He was denounced as a tyrant. This is one of the main reasons Adams is regarded by historians as a crappy president.
Adams’ Alien and Sedition Acts:
“The Alien and Sedition Acts were four bills passed by the Federalist-dominated 5th United States Congress and signed into law by President John Adams in 1798. They made it harder for an immigrant to become a citizen (Naturalization Act), allowed the president to imprison and deport non-citizens who were deemed dangerous (Alien Friends Act of 1798) or who were from a hostile nation (Alien Enemy Act of 1798), and criminalized making false statements that were critical of the federal government (Sedition Act of 1798).”

Brennan's security clearance was pulled because he criticized the president. According to the First Amendment to the Constitution, no person can be punished for speaking critically of members of government, which includes the president. In other words, government officials are prohibited from punishing a person for criticizing government officials.

That's lame. Brennan should be on trial for high treason, for giving aid and comfort to our Islamic enemies in a time of war. Of course, a security clearance isn't much use when the hangman's noose snaps tight.

"Brennan's security clearance was pulled because he criticized the president."
Brennan's security clearance was pulled because he is not acting like someone who should be entrusted with a security clearance. He makes baseless charges of treason against the sitting president. He sells his access to classified information to MSNBC. He perjured himself before congress.
If this were a real country, Brennan would be in jail.
"Brennan's security clearance was pulled because he is not acting like someone who should be entrusted with a security clearance."
Whoa, if we want that to be the standard the CIC should be stripped of his security clearance. He gave secret information obtained from Israel to Russia, he has secret meetings with Putin and he recklessly gives out information.

Second guess: According to you, I am so old, I may soon die soon, so therefore I shouldn't be concerned with politics? Well I have a daughter, a son, six grandchildren, and three great grandchildren, so I'm concerned with climate change and every other issue that may affect them in the future.

FROM THE HILL, August 17, 2018.
But the president in an interview with The Wall Street Journal cited Brennan’s involvement in the beginnings of the Russia counterintelligence investigation, muddying the waters as to his reasoning.
The developments come as Trump continues to wage war publicly against the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference, which he again derided as a “rigged witch hunt” in the interview with the Journal on Wednesday.
"Meanwhile the CNN is literally suing to get the Manafort trial jurors names and addresses so they can intimidate them."

"But the president in an interview with The Wall Street Journal cited Brennan’s involvement in the beginnings of the Russia counterintelligence investigation, muddying the waters as to his reasoning."
Brennan’s involvement in the beginnings of the Russia counterintelligence investigation involved the peddling of false intelligence to illegally obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the opposition campaign. It is a legal issue, not a political matter.
"Kellywise the Clown can't name one Blah staffer."
PilotX the poseur can't name one lie President Trump has told.
“Really? First jury intimidation is illegal, secondly as we have to keep reminding you posters if you don't include a link or citation it's all just a bad opinion. Internet etiquette please.”
I don’t know who, if anyone, is suing to publish the names of jurors. If media outlets are suing, it’s probably not only CNN.
But the thing is, jurors’ names are normally released in trials as a matter of course. The judge has, in fact, taken the unusual step of refusing to release names in this trial because there have been death threats; the judge himself has received threats and requested police protection.
It’s ironic that this blog’s lying trolls are somehow trying to make this into an “evil” mainstream media conspiracy, though. The threats to the jury are coming from angry, stupid Trumpkins who think Manafort’s prosecution is part of an unfair “witch hunt” against Trump.
If jurors’ names were released, this would result in jury intimidation to HELP Manafort, not hurt him.
"If jurors’ names were released, this would result in jury intimidation to HELP Manafort, not hurt him."
Bullshit.
We know which side plays rough. Ask Seth Rich. Or Leiutenant Quarles Harris, Jr.
"It’s ironic that this blog’s lying trolls are somehow trying to make this into an “evil” mainstream media conspiracy"
They won’t intimidate the jurors, their Antifa and Antifa-adjacent comrades will take care of that.
“They won’t intimidate the jurors, their Antifa and Antifa-adjacent comrades will take care of that.”
Hey, it’s not lefties who think the trial isn’t going the way they’d like. Left-wingers are confident Manafort is guilty of fraud and is going down on multiple counts. They have no reason to try and pressure the jury.
It’s wingnuts who are shitting bricks and claiming Manafort is being railroaded because the trial is being held in the DC area where liberals happen to live and serve on juries.
All stoopid fucking Drumpf supporters have to do is get one jurist to hold out.
Regardless of the verdict, Drumpf will tweet there was no collusion between him and Russia because they didn't find any against Manafort. Then we get to hear moar about the rigged witch hunt that should be shut down before they get to hanging Drumpf's fat ass out to dry.
Brennan’s involvement in the beginnings of the Russia counterintelligence investigation involved the peddling of false intelligence to illegally obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the opposition campaign. It is a legal issue, not a political matter.
Prove it, Sport. You can't. You have no credible proof of anything.

Brennan's security clearance was pulled because he is not acting like someone who should be entrusted with a security clearance. He makes baseless charges of treason against the sitting president. He sells his access to classified information to MSNBC. He perjured himself before congress
If perjury before congress was a crime, Drumpfuck's entire swamp of a cabinet would be doing time and most probably will anyway. How many times did AG Sessions lie in his confirmation hearings?
How do you travel to Pakistan in 1981 on a US passport???
If Trump had objected to CIA hacks of Congress that occurred under Brennan (which were almost certainly carried out by rogue agents, not under his orders, but whatever), he’d have pulled Brennan’s security clearance the day he became president.
But Trump has made this move now, 1.5 years into his presidency, because it is self-evidently part of his colossal “nobody is allowed to criticize me!” temper tantrum.
He’s got a naughty list of others whose clearances he wants to yank. These are virtually all people who say mean things about Trump. But apparently, that’s merely a huge coincidence.
Come on, Trump isn’t even trying to hide his pettiness here. He thinks he has the right to punish anyone who accurately points out his corruption, incompetence, and racism.

By plane or ship, I presume. Snopes has got you debunked somemoar.
However, the claim that Barack Obama must have set out on that trip to Pakistan using a non-U.S. passport is false: The U.S. State Department did not include Pakistan on a “no travel” list barring Americans from traveling there in mid-1981, and evidence documents that Americans could in fact freely visit that country at that time.
The U.S. State Department issues Travel Warnings (which caution travelers about “long-term, protracted conditions that make a country dangerous or unstable”) and Travel Alerts (which caution travelers about “short-term conditions, generally within a particular country, that pose imminent risks to the security of U.S. citizens”) but those warnings are purely advisory — they do not prohibit Americans from traveling to the listed countries. The fact that the U.S. State Department issued an informative Travel Advisory for Pakistan in August 1981 (to make American citizens aware of updated visa requirements for entering that country) demonstrates that U.S. passport holders could freely travel to and from Pakistan at the time of Barack Obama’s visit there.
Moreover, during that same time period (mid-1981), New York Times assistant news editor Barbara Crossette visited Pakistan and wrote a column about her experiences, a piece in which she offered tips to other Americans who might wish to visit that country. Additionally, her column prompted a follow-up letter from John S. Brims, then the U.S. Consul General in Lahore, Pakistan, in which he “welcome[d] an influx of Americans” who might have been inspired to come to Pakistan by her article and also offered helpful tips for tourists traveling to that country by rail from India:

You can bet Drumpfuck the dumbfuck will be tweeting his lies about witch hunts and trying to influence the jury pool. Anyone else doing that would be slapped wit, at the least, contempt of court and possibly jailed where they have no access to social media. And once again stoopid fucking wingnuts could care less what Drumpf does, no matter how illegal.

And the crazy part, before trump Republicans were all about law and order and fiscal conservatism but dropped that shit like an ugly girlfriend when this guy came along. Befuddling.
They only pretend to like fiscal conservatism when there's a Democrat in the white house to try and obstruct by denying funding for their agenda. Their guys blow up the debt and deficit with their tax cuts every damn time.
And "law and order" is code for "racially asymmetric police tactics", a remnant of the time when overt racial police brutality was still seen as unseemly even by Republicans.

Before, the thing that terrified jurors on high-profile trials was being gotten to by the mob.
Now, it's "CNN wants to unseal jurors' identities prior to verdict."
CNN is a known doxxing organization.
The whole point of jury privacy is to keep them from being influenced by outside forces -- why would CNN and its co-conspirators want to breach that?
"CNN is a known doxxing organization."
Known by whom?
"The whole point of jury privacy is to keep them from being influenced by outside forces -- why would CNN and its co-conspirators want to breach that?"
Of course which is why it's interesting this is an issue tonight because they are sequestered and deliberating right now. A judgement wouldn't be returned in enough time to influence a verdict. Is this a thing now?
The judge seems to be doing a good job of keeping them from being unduly influenced. Are you really concerned about them being influenced or is this a misguided attempt to further impugn CNN?
Anyone who doesn't understand that CNN is a deep state institution at this point is simply retarded.
http://thefederalist.com/2018/08/17/cnn-just-sued-government-get-names-addresses-manafort-jurors/
Ok, found it. Of course conservative media has picked up on this story and insists CNN is doxxing.
From the article:
"The media request for the names and home addresses of jurors comes a day after the jury began deliberating about the verdicts on 18 fraud and conspiracy counts against Manafort."
Now this doesn't make sense. How or why would a news organization try to intimidate or harass jurors already on deliberations? The article goes on to accuse CNN of intimidating others because of an anti-trump bias. This is getting real weird. Can we just have a normal presidency? Man, I'd even take W over this guy.

"Anyone who doesn't understand that CNN is a deep state institution at this point is simply retarded"

Oh no, Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper are deep state actors who have been sent here to undermine our democracy. I mean I believe they are more interested in destroying the country than say Vladimir Putin.
Judge Ellis just revealed in open court that he has been threatened over the Manafort case and refused to reveal the names of jurors.
Yeah, Ted Turner and several Americans are colluding to let trump win the election and then steal it back. Or is it Russians trying to divide America? Hmmmmmm, what's more probable? Occam's Razor.
“Now this doesn't make sense. How or why would a news organization try to intimidate or harass jurors already on deliberations?”
Of course it doesn’t make sense. This is real news, but filtered through the paranoid, bent brain of the wingnut, until it turns into unintelligible gibberish.
News outlets aren’t looking to influence the jury. They’re filing their demand for the jurors’ names now, so that they’ll be granted access to the jury as soon as possible after the verdict is rendered.
And they want the names so that they can interview the jurors, not make it easier for raving nutjobs to send them death threats.
It’s truly amazing how wingnut world can manage to build a massive, nefarious conspiracy out of literally any meaningless, trivial event.
Next, they’ll be tying the jurors in with Pizzagate or QAnon or one of their other laughable, hallucinatory Alex Jones fantasies.
Deep state? Couldn't be that trump is garbage and does and says dumb shit that is subsequently reported. Nah, it's a conspiracy.
Hey Razor,
How come The Federalist and the Daily Caller are the only sources which support your allegations?
My apologies, Razor.
You only got one rather important detail wrong. The media coalition is asking that the names of the jurors be released after the trial, not before the verdict is rendered.
One minor argument, PilotX, about influencing the jury. I firmly believe this judge has on numerous occasions interjected his opinions into the testimony at the expense of the prosecution. They had several dustups, including while they jury was seated in the courtroom. Not acceptable judicial behavior in any court. imho
https://www.factcheck.org/2018/08/cherry-picking-to-overhype-jobs-gains-from-tax-cuts/

It's so hard to keep up. Barack was a Pakastani planted spy because they just knew a Blah man with a Muslim name was a shoe-in for the WH. Now we have Q (who is really Bill Maher) who is working with trump and Putin to arrest all the Dems because they are running a secret baby eating cabal or something like that. Still waiting on those thousands on indictments by the way. I think life was so much easier when wingnuts just wanted Jezus in the schools, hated science and were for smaller government. Ah, for the good old days.

From thinkprogress.com today
Businesses on Maryland’s Eastern Shore are feeling the sting from President Donald Trump’s “America first” immigration and visa policies, as establishments struggle to hire workers.
Crab-picking houses typically enjoy busy summer seasons in Maryland, which is famous for its seafood. But this year around a third of crab-picking jobs remain unfilled due to a shortage in seasonal labor. Crackdowns on the H-2B visa program — which allows workers to come from other countries to the United States for a brief stint before returning home — have left the industry in a bind.
But, but Trump is making America great again - right?
Unless you got a bag of money, it might be a good idea to keep The Honorable Donald Trump's name out of your mouth and away from your keyboard. Obama bamboozled all you liberals( ask Jeremiah Wright ;the bombastic left- wing priest who got shut down permanently ). Obama did not put any permanent mechanisms place to protect your liberal agenda. It's just a matter of time before Trump serve all of yo assess!
