66. I'm in Koeln a lot

Mar 2019

I haven't been to Valencia since 1969 (!!). I guess a return visit is overdue.

I picked up a nasty cold yesterday from having to wait outside in the cold wind forever for trains that never came. I have to fly down to Barcelona this afternoon, but my ears are clear, so it should be OK. The only downside is that my wife, who usually comes with me on this annual trip, can't make it this year, so it will be a little lonelier than usual.

No one takes on Rachel Maddow... Have you noticed that? No One... PeeJ52 Mar 2019 #10

Indeed, I have! As one Quora poster said, she's a born teacher Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #11

"Born teacher." May be something here. How many Hortensis Mar 2019 #41

Too funny! But honest to goodness, Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #63

My guess is Steve Bannon warned Chump not to go after Rachel FakeNoose Mar 2019 #12

Thanks, I never knew that of Bannon! Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #14

If he spoke her name his nagar would go check her to troll her mahina Mar 2019 #39

Has he targeted MSNBC hosts other than Mika? liberalnarb Mar 2019 #15

Well, there was this one about MSNBC before the elections Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #18

He has taken kicks at Lawrence O'Brien, can't remember what they were. Judi Lynn Mar 2019 #40

Hasn't gone after Malcolm Nance either nt maryellen99 Mar 2019 #43

Doesn't wish to raise her profile? California_Republic Mar 2019 #27

Agreed, but we know and he knows she doesn't need him Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #28

This is close, all the others he has shown he doesn't care about uponit7771 Mar 2019 #38

Probably it's obnoxiousdrunk Mar 2019 #29

LOL! Or he's watching comforting Hannity during Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #32

She's not part of the elite group Trump secretly clamors for approval from. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2019 #30

Yeah, but 45 Needs The Other to survive. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #33

He desperately wants approval from the NY-DC centrist intellectual set, i.e. people like Mika. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2019 #36

Forgive me, but I've really been unaware of this. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #37

Maybe he knows he's outmatched. lpbk2713 Mar 2019 #31

For damn sure! Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #34

He's probably never met her, so to him, she doesn't even exist. lindysalsagal Mar 2019 #42

I wish I could believe that. Found the article Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #53

My guess is that Roger Ailes told him not to take Rachel on. Ailes and Rachel were friends. OnDoutside Mar 2019 #44

Had no idea that Maddow and Ailes were friends. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #54

Not from an ideological point of view, but she said she got great help from him, and he even told OnDoutside Mar 2019 #64

Got it and thanks for this. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #67

Perhaps, but my thought is that Ailes warned Trump off trying to take her on. It's distinctly off OnDoutside Mar 2019 #70

He might not even know she exists. I doubt he watches MSNBC Takket Mar 2019 #45

Yeah, I doubt that he watches MSNBC, too, Takket. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #55

I think this is it. Trump can't understand what she says.... LAS14 Mar 2019 #46

But those are the virtues, I think, he has to attack. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #56

Can you imagine the delight Rachel would take in digging deep into a Trump... LAS14 Mar 2019 #47

I know it would be deeply satisfying Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #57

Rachel was never a Trump sycophant Trumpocalypse Mar 2019 #48

I'm not sure what to make of that, Trumpocalypse. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #58

May I make an observation that is totally unworthy of DU's consideration.... still.... LAS14 Mar 2019 #49

What, who said that? Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #59

I had to stop reading the answers when I got to this... Chiyo-chichi Mar 2019 #50

WTF? is right. Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #60

Rachel seldom mentions trump by name. Yes she talks about Squinch Mar 2019 #51

Good point! I cannot stand writing that name Kind of Blue Mar 2019 #61
