Fugelsang: poor Trump just realized that Matt Gaetz isn't Barron.

Back off, haters! Yes, Trump was booed at the World Series but only because Crooked Hillary filled the stadium with the 3 million paid illegal immigrants that registered & voted against him 2016.

Cummings pallbearer explains the heartbreak behind his snub of McConnell

.............

When I saw Mitch McConnell, all I saw was my brother's face."

His brother died last October of a recurrence of multiple myeloma, a cancer that's long been linked to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, where Jerry Rankin had served as a Marine. For more than three decades, Marines at the base were exposed to industrial solvents, benzene, and other chemicals in the drinking water, and for the past seven years have benefited from a law signed by President Barack Obama that provides coverage for care related to 15 separate diseases. Multiple myeloma is one of those diseases, but Rankin says that his brother was denied the benefits.

He said that Cummings, a longtime friend, had tried to help. "Elijah Cummings reached across party lines trying to help my brother get his military benefits, and Mitch McConnell was one of the persons he reached out to," Rankin said. But McConnell didn't help. "I could not put my hands in the man's hand who refused to help somebody who served his country," Rankin said. "I couldn't do it, because I was thinking about my brother."

McConnell didn't respond to a request for comment. It's not clear what help Cummings was looking for from McConnell. But it is very clear in Rankin's mind that McConnell refused to help his brother. And that information had to have come from Cummings himself, and it isn't likely that the man would have lied about it. "When I carry him to his grave, if I could say something to him, I would say something I said to him many, many times before," Rankin told the Post. "What a mighty, mighty man he is."

re: Disrespecting the President

I'm hearing reports that the kids locked up in cages were very disturbed when they learned that the Nats stadium chanted "lock him up." Those children do not like it when we disrespect our president.

The Guardian raises Doubts over Donald Trump's dramatic account of Baghdadi raid

Doubts over Donald Trump's dramatic account of Baghdadi raid
Footage relayed to US situation room was only overhead surveillance and had no audio

.............

The White House monitored the Syria operation through video feeds that Trump said was “as though you were watching a movie”.

The footage piped into the situation room would have consisted of overhead surveillance shots of the dark compound with heat signatures differentiating between US fighters and others, intelligence and military officials told the New York Times.

Those cameras would not have been able to peer into the tunnel where Baghdadi died, nor provide audio proof of his conduct during the last minutes of his life.

..............

The soldiers involved would have been wearing body cameras, but that footage was yet to be given to the White House at the time of Trump’s press conference, the Times report said.

Takei's great idea for testing Facebook's cash-for-lies ad policy

I’m going to pay for a political ad on Facebook announcing that a tortured Mike Pence has finally come out. False ad? Well, you decide.
