It didn't work then and it will not work now.

Rep. John Lewis, "There was a deliberate and systematic effort to rob America
of a free and fair election." (with the help of Russia) rough quote

... is why he has been on a twitter and speaking meltdown all week.

I am sitting @ my local bar after going to the gym and
waiting to see a woman who will be in a few minutes and as I am waiting and I being a geek, so I'm reading a great book "The Unwinding," by George Packer and a random person comes up and asks what I'm reading so I tell her and show her the dust cover of the book. She reads a little and says something like, "It looks new age with some old school institution in it too."



All I could say is "Oh."

Btw The Unwinding is a great book... the middle class has been screwed, money controls DC, and things are complex.

Sorry to

Go get your vernal equinox on.

When California Democrat Adam Schiff took the helm of the House Intelligence Committee, he quickly announced a sweeping investigation focused on Donald Trump's finances. Now it's clear that Schiff's main concern is ascertaining whether Trump is under foreign influence, and he views Trump's finances as the most fertile ground for examining that question.

In an interview with NBC News, Schiff maintained that the counterintelligence investigation was far more urgent to national security concerns than the inquiry into Trump’s potential criminality. "What Americans should be concerned about is whether the president's Russia policy is not dictated by our national interest but is dictated by his desire to make hundreds of millions of dollars off a tower in Moscow," Schiff said. He also noted the limits of indictments in terms of revealing whether someone is compromised by a foreign power. In fact, NBC reports, most counterintelligence probes don't end with indictments because criminality is difficult to prove, and the information involved is often too sensitive to make public. Public officials found to be compromised often leave their posts quietly rather than being brought into the spotlight.

Georgetown University Law Center Professor Martin Lederman agreed with Schiff, arguing that what's motivating Trump's actions in office is far more critical than any criminality that may have taken place during the campaign. "It's more important to know what Trump is NOW than to know what he did in 2016," Lederman observed.

Schiff is concerned that the question of foreign influence on Trump through his finances may not have been fully explored by Mueller, if at all. "From what we can see either publicly or otherwise, it's very much an open question whether this is something the special counsel has looked at," Schiff said. He added that the red line Trump drew at Mueller examining his personal finances is "not a line that can be observed and still protect the country."

... Why can't GM just sell it?

Good God in Butter is he stupid.


1. The plant is "tooled up" to make one or two types of cars. And those cars were not selling. You can't just start making pick up trucks in a factory that was making coups.

B) Trump's trade war and tariffs have raised the cost of the steel that they used to make the cars so they now cost more than other vehicles in the same market.

Mr. Art of the Deal knows nothing about the auto industry or anything else for that matter.

Sorry to but I just heard this on NPR and I'm going nuts.

Smart, well spoken, and w/a real understanding that Nancy Pelosi is playing the long game as
per Trump and impeachment. She is the real deal.

The right wants our leadership to talk about and support impeachment now because "they" have been working from day one after Trump stole the election along with a bunch of other races with Russian help and so they have their talking points and lines of attack ready to go but by waiting until after the truth comes out then it will be time to go for the big I.

Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Schumer, and others have seen the dirt and they know what they're doing.

She is making the smart play now.

"What all this means, Mr. Stone, is that any violation of this order will be a basis for revoking your bond and detaining you pending trial. So I want to be clear, today I gave you a second chance. But this is not baseball. There will not be a third chance. If you cannot, or will not, or do not comply with today’s orders, I will find it necessary to adjust your environment so that you don’t have access to the temptations posed by cameras, phones, computers and microphones."
