I have a feeling the snowball has reached the peak...

It's gonna be all downhill from here. Where Trump has been able to deflect a lot of his attacks this book seems to have got him right between the eyes and stuck. He really did let a Wolff into the henhouse. How perfect, a sleazy tell all for the king of slime.
Can you imagine how low the Trumps feel right now? For such a vain group of assholes this is the kind of shit that will keep them up at night. Trump has to be the maddest he has ever been? Let the Twitter hell fury begin. I have a feeling we will finally see those poll numbers really start to drop in the next few weeks. Once that happens the republicans will smell blood and help finish the job before midterms. Only question now is who will be left to take his place? Ughhh...

Cory Gardner willing to fight for legal pot

“This reported action directly contradicts what Attorney General Sessions told me prior to his confirmation,” the Colorado Republican wrote on Twitter. “With no prior notice to Congress, the Justice Department has trampled on the will of the voters in CO and other states.”

Gardner then threatened to gum up the works for DOJ nominees unless Sessions agrees to reverse his decision.

“I am prepared to take all steps necessary, including holding DOJ nominees, until the Attorney General lives up to the commitment he made to me prior to his confirmation,” he wrote.

Witness in Trump-Russia probe claims Mueller grand jury ‘looks like a Black Lives Matter rally’

An unnamed witness who testified in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections tells the New York Post’s Richard Johnson that he fears Trump won’t get a “fair shake” because there no white men serving on the grand jury.

“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally,” the source told Johnson. “Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley.”

The source explained that 11 out of the 20 jurors were black, while adding that two of the jurors were wearing “peace” t-shirts.

The witness also claimed that “there was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.”

In conclusion, that source believes that this grand jury isn’t a place “where POTUS gets a fair shake.”

They knew...

They knew a progressive world was on the horizon. They knew their lies and propaganda wouldn't be able to compete with the information age forever. But of course they thought they had a little time left to try and twist and bend the truth. Perpetuate people's fears. Indulge the uneducated. To feign their love for people they absolutely disdain...

Now it's starting to set in they pushed too far, too fast in their quest to tip the scales of society. The new day seems to be coming faster then ever. They can see a glow coming from across the mountains and they are scared of what monsters that light is going to reveal. They knew this day would come. Every trend, fact, and percentage warned of this day but why is the light growing so fast now?

They think that's the new day coming. Probably time for a few more raids down into the vaults and to take their winnings and head for the sunset...
If they only knew...

That my friends is the Progressive Phoenix raising from the ashes of everything they have burned in their path to power. It's coming and its revenge will be beautiful. There will be no place to hide when she raises above them. Basking her light down into the darkest crevices she will find them all. Their money powerless to stop her.

Now will be the time for desperation. When all you have is greed and ego it seems true friends are a little hard to come by. Every person for themselves will be the battlecry of the rich as she peeks over their gated communities. Listen to her laughter as they start eating their own. Sacrificing anyone in their way. Anything for self preservation.

They knew... they just weren't expecting this. Now she is coming to cleanse and purge before a spectacular sunrise. May the new day be long and bountiful for all. And let's hope love and understanding will be the new order of the day.

Fox legal analyst says Mueller has Trump in the line of fire

“Based on the evidence, who is in the line of fire now?” Smith asked.

“Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, Jr and the president is in the line of fire,” Napolitano concluded.

“I’m critical of our colleagues that say there’s no ‘there’ there,” Napolitano admitted. “You know what, Shep? This is a jigsaw puzzle with 100,000 pieces and we see a piece here and a piece there and people say it doesn’t make any sense. It takes time to amass all of these pieces of evidence so that we see the jigsaw puzzle completed, that’s what Mueller and company are trying to do.”

“Indictments and confessions,” Smith noted.

“Yes, yes. Look, General Flynn was exposed to 60 years in jail, if he was convicted of every charge out there and sentenced to the max. He’s exposed to six months,” Napolitano replied.

“How did he go from 60 years to six months? He must have given them something,” Napolitano concluded.

Multnomah Falls lives on!

A little bit of good news here in Oregon. Still haven't heard much more on the full damage but keeping my fingers crossed...

COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE, Ore. -- It's still yet to be seen how much damage the Eagle Creek Fire has inflicted upon the scenic Columbia River Gorge, but for the time being it appears some of the area's most historic locations look very much the same.
On Wednesday, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office posted photos from several iconic spots. And apart from the smoke in the sky, many of them looked the same as they did prior to Sept. 2, when the fire broke out.
Perhaps the most prominent spot, Multnomah Falls and the lodge, looks very much the same. The trees are green and fire crews have worked day and night to make sure the lodge does not go up in flames

Bad hombres??? I just keep seeing Heroic Hombres

Two volunteer rescuers killed in Harvey floodwaters after bringing families to safety-

HOUSTON — On Monday morning, as floodwaters were rising fast in their neighborhood in northeast Houston, three brothers and two friends set off in a small boat to rescue anyone they could find.

In two trips, they brought two families — seven people in total — to safety, then went out a third time.

“Everybody told them to stay, that they had already done their part,” said Stepheny Jacquez, 25, a family member. “But they said, ‘No, we have to go back, there’s a lot of people in danger.’”

On their third trip out, around 3 p.m. Monday, they lost control of their boat in strong currents and drifted toward downed power lines throwing off sparks.

“They all jumped in the water and got electrocuted, and the current took them,” Jacquez said.
