PdxSean's JournalScott Walker and Wisconsin Republicans thumb noses at law.
Just when I think I can't hate republicans more.
A day after a judge said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was violating state law by refusing to call special elections for two vacant seats in the state legislature, the Republican leader of the state Senate said he would explore changing the law so that Walker did not have to call the elections.

Well now, look at our little old drops making a splash!
Go DU! I don't remember donating to Conor Lamb, but apparently I did so after someone on DU put him on my radar. As weird as it seems, after checking my ActBlue account, I now feel like part of the win. I'd even forgotten about Doug Jones. Don't know how the other candidates did, but win or lose, I figure it's money well spent.

Trump regurgitates Alex Jones rhetoric.
Vice video montage shows Trump copying Alex Jones’ recipe for batshit crazy soup, often word for word.

Value of a truck vs a life.
A father says he thought a thief was stealing his truck, so he shot and killed the driver . . . who turned out to be his son.

How long did you go before your stomach dropped?
Is Mueller next?
Since Democratic leaders were so quick to reward Republicans for their Al Franken hit job, will they again fold when Republicans call for Mueller’s ouster?
This Washington Post article exposes a Republican orchestrated attack on Mueller - a Republican! - while Democrats seem deaf and blind as to what is in the works.

This just in! FoxNews to become FoxPutin!
In a stunning show of transparency, FoxNews will embrace fact and change its name to FoxPutin! (Caveat: While multiple sources confirm the collaboration, it is unclear whether the name will be FoxPutin! or PutinFox!)
The sad truth is that there was nothing masterful about Russia's manipulation of the US public during the 2016 election cycle. Russia simply adopted and amplified the methods employed by FoxNews, Limbaugh, Ted Cruz, Breitbart and the rest of their ilk: Embrace racism, sexism, populism . . . . amplify, inflame, rinse, repeat.
Huffington Post has a story which shows some of Russia's Facebook ads: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/russian-facebook-ads-examples-election_us_59fa16d1e4b01b474047d7a5?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009 If the article hadn't made clear that the ads were from Russia, I would have bet good money that at least half of them were from FoxNews.
Frankly, I'm more concerned about he integrity of our "ballot boxes" and the erosion of the Voting Rights Act, but it will be difficult, if not impossible, to put those fires out without addressing the fact that Fox, Trump and many-a red state are willing to sell America out to Russia if the trade-off is a renewal of Jim Crow.
