GOOD!

TOLL-FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers conveniently located in my sig line below. Found a new one to add in there, too.

No. They didn't just suddenly fall in love with him. They're just being Machiavellian.

End justifies means.

Honor among thieves? NONE. They'd turn on their grandmas if they thought it would benefit them. That's already happening as they try to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.

Everyone everywhere forgets this part of it.

She vouched for the content of the document, even though she said she personally did not type that particular document. So she obviously knew the contents of the document were true, and for real. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough.

Dan Rather was fouled on a technicality. And that's a shame. He was always great. I still admire him. And he's right again, here, too.

Wow - that's a definite keeper!

What journalism shouldn't be, but has become.

I went to hear Ted Lieu speak, during a local Democratic club meeting.

He indicated that, having read the reports and being briefed as Congress was, there's no doubt in his mind that Russia did it.

I can't recall EVER observing a presidential candidate who had that many ties to Russia. Not EVER. From the get-go, The Donald had Paul Manafort with him. Campaign manager, I believe. And there were other ties back then, like Carter Page who had ties to Russia. There was the beauty pageant held in Russia where I wouldn't be a bit surprised that there weren't connections and "friendships" or business acquaintanceships made. There's Roger Stone, a longtime Friend-of-Moscow. There's the statement I think Don Junior made just a couple of year ago about all the money that was streaming into the Trump Organization from Russia. The banks over there that lent him money. That doesn't happen in a vacuum. That kind of wheeler-dealer stuff, at that high a level of financing, is not done in a vacuum. It has all kinds of tentacles to all sorts of sordid cracks and corners.

No wonder he won't release his tax returns. No wonder he's more adamant and definite about that now than ever before.

Something just smells.

Where did you march?

Indeed. What a classy guy.

I actually feel sorry for her.

And she never looks happy when she makes public appearances.

That photo's tell-tale for sure. It's always all about him. And everybody/anybody else is just "meh." Another thing he owns.

Selfish, thoughtless, world-class JERK!

Welcome to U, HoBeKaT!

I do like the sound of what's in the subtitle:

Win or lose, the Republican candidate and his inner circle have built a direct marketing operation that could power a TV network—or finish off the GOP.

The "finish off the GOP" part. Wouldn't that be a blessing?

Our new in-laws took one of these on their plane to Washington!

There were lots of other women on that plane! Made me wonder if that was a charter flight. Both my son-in-law's sisters!

Proud!!! Excited for them, too! I notice that many of these pilgrims are wearing those knitted - Pussy caps? Is that what they're called? I want one.

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
