Had a thought...give it a minute.

Rachel made a comment the other day that got me thinking. OK, start with the premise that Trump is an idiot, and Obama is a freakin' genius. Obama gave Trump 2 pieces of advice...take N. Korea seriously, and DON'T hire Michael Flynn for ANYTHING, much less a high security job. I really think Obama already knew how compromised Flynn was. He had to know the idiot would do the exact opposite, which, of course, he immediately did. So Mike Flynn flips almost immediately, turns out to be a major asset for Mueller, and it's entirely possible he wore a wire in some of his communications with Trump.

Now, I'll admit when I was discussing this with my friend, there was some herbal intake to move along the creativity , but think about it for a minute. It's a distinct possibility that Obama planted Flynn in the Trump administration, unbeknownst to BOTH of them. A little out there, but hey...these are weird times.

And damn, I miss Obama.

Wait, what?

There's still something about the Florida results, especially Gillum/DeSantis, that bothers me.

Somehow, the same people who voted to restore a felon's right to vote by a 2-1 margin, and to shut down Grayhound racing, then turned around and voted for Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis? According to a Quinnepiac poll taken Monday, Gillum was up by 6 or 7 points. This just doesn't feel right to me.

OK, before we start celebrating Remington declaring bankruptcy...

I need someone to explain this to me. How does a company go from an 8 year "golden era of sales under Barack Obama" to bankruptcy in less than two years, and have accumulated almost a billion dollars in DEBT? What kind of bonuses were they handing out? How much did they donate to rethugs?

Calling Robert Mueller...

Anybody know how to email Jim Acosta/CNN?

Sorry, no 15 year old around to help me! I've been to both their "official" sites, and couldn't find a "contact us" button on either place. I sent him a tweet, but I really want to contact CNN. This man deserves combat pay if they're going to insist on sending him to those rallies. Plus a damned security force.

Damn right I'm a liberal.

Great read, and it needs to be spread. After today, I think, I hope, the scales are falling from Republican eyes.

Anyone watching Steve Schmidt on Chris Hayes?

Don't really watch network news that much...is he anywhere but MSNBC? He needs to be everywhere.

Knew someone had to do it!

I've been out of the loop for a few days, so someone may have already posted this. But just in case...https://pro.teechip.com/bastacap
Looks like they're donating profits to Daniels' legal fund.
