Trump admin with two very different responses to sham elections by dictators:

July 2017: Trump hits Venezuela with sanctions after holding sham election.
March 2018: Trump congratulates Putin and Sarah Huckabee Sanders says, “We don’t get to dictate how other countries operate,"
 
So Stormy passed a lie detector test in 2011 and said Trump didn't use a robber. Yuck. And he claimed no one would pee on him because he is a germaphobe.
 
John Oliver and this Marlon Bundo book is hilarious. Not only is it crushing Pastor Pence’s book, but it knocked the pre-orders of the Comey tell all off the #1 pedestal on Amazon.
 
The Colonel who called Obama a "total pussy" on air is now bailing on fox news:

I swore to “support and defend the Constitution,” and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform. Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed.

In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration. When prime-time hosts–who have never served our country in any capacity–dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller–all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of “deep-state” machinations– I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.

As a Russia analyst for many years, it also has appalled me that hosts who made their reputations as super-patriots and who, justifiably, savaged President Obama for his duplicitous folly with Putin, now advance Putin’s agenda by making light of Russian penetration of our elections and the Trump campaign. Despite increasingly pathetic denials, it turns out that the “nothing-burger” has been covered with Russian dressing all along. And by the way: As an intelligence professional, I can tell you that the Steele dossier rings true–that’s how the Russians do things.. The result is that we have an American president who is terrified of his counterpart in Moscow.

In Pennsylvania the GOP had gerrymandered electoral districts to greatly favor their party. The matter was taken to the state's courts where eventually the state's Supreme Court held that the previous map "clearly, plainly and palpably" violated the free elections clause of the state's constitution and upheld a redrawn map prepared by an independent, non partisan expert.

Last week the US Supreme Court in a nine vote unanimous decision declined to hear an appeal by GOP legislators so that the new districts now stand.

So what does the Pennsylvania GOP legislature do? Why they filed a motion in the legislature to impeach four of the five Democrat judges on the state's Supreme Court, of course. (They didn't move to impeach the one who was prepared to hold implementation of the new map off to 2020)

This is a non issue.

If anything his supporters will say "Fukcing rights!! Trump my man ****ed a hot porn star raw-dogg --- he's a real ****ing man bro!"

This would be an issue for Obama, but politically it's not for Trump.

President Trump's approval rating among white evangelicals is 78% in a new Pew poll. That’s up from 72% in January, when allegations of the Stormy Daniels affair and hush money payments were first coming to light.

Breaking: texas bomber blows himself up


The man suspected of carrying out the bombings via mail in Austin, TX blew himself up in his vehicle early Wednesday — according to authorities.

Austin police chief Brian Manley said (via The New York Times) that authorities have not yet been able to determine a motive.

“We do not understand what motivated him to do what he did,” Manley said.

NBC News reports, through two law enforcement sources, that the now-deceased suspect is Mark Anthony Conditt — a 24-year-old white male. According to the Times, the bombing suspect lived in Pflugerville, TX — a suburb about 20 miles northeast of Austin.

Authorities said they were not tracking the suspect’s movements in the day leading up to his death, and so further devices may yet be unaccounted for.

“We still need to remain vigilant,” Manley said. “We do not know where he has been in the past 24 hours.”

In January, a student identified by CW-affiliated KTLA-TV as Victor Quinonez, secretly recorded him asking his class why they would want to serve in the military, which he believes is not the best option available for the students.

“Think about the people who you know who are over there? Your freaking stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumbs‑‑‑s. They’re not like high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, and they’re not intellectual people. They’re the lowest of our low,” Salcido can be heard saying in the video.

I fully support his right to say what he did, but I also support the right of his employer to fire him for violating their code of conduct.

Everyone is entitled to free speech, but don't be surprised if you get fired for what you say.
