Who said the Queen of the Damned had better approval ratings?
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/427254-new-poll-shows-speaker-pelosis-approval-rating-down-during-government
"A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that Speaker Nancy Pelosi — not President Donald Trump — plummeted most in popularity during the 35-day government shutdown."
https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/28/poll-pelosi-approval-rating-plummets/
"Pelosi’s approval rate dropped by six points during the 35-day government shutdown, as 47 percent of Americans surveyed rated Pelosi as “very negative,” while only 28 percent rated her favorably.

President Donald Trump’s ratings remain relatively unchanged, with 43 percent of Americans approving of his job performance and and 54 percent disapproving. Trump’s rating is down only 3 percent since November, "

That's what you get listening to Marxist news.

Grass Valley Dreamery is now working 7 12 hour days a week to keep up with demand for its edibles. Elevation 2477 (with Bessee's name sake blunts) is sending out driver's to source their edibles because they can't take deliveries quickly enough to satisfy demand. Local favs like Tahoe Kush and Holy Grail are sold out every week.

So Walt, if "THEY are not buying legal weed in the stores" who is?

"sales fell. Around $2.5 billion of legal cannabis was sold in California in 2018, half a billion dollars less than in 2017 when only medical marijuana was legal, according to GreenEdge, a sales tracking company."

"The easy part of legalization was persuading people to vote for it, industry analysts say. The hard part, now that it’s legal, is persuading people to stop buying from the black market."

https://www.thegrowthop.com/cannabis-culture/cannabis-trends/californians-still-prefer-buying-marijuana-thats-off-the-grid
"One of their in-depth surveys on the high cost of legal cannabis sheds some light on how many people are still buying herb the way they have always done prior to legalization.

Other than financial reasons, the survey does not delve too deeply into the reservations people have about buying legal weed, such as having to give up their second amendment right to keep and bear arms or the violation of HIPAA laws that data mining of medical marijuana users causes.

From Marijuana Business Daily’s point of view, consumers buying weed on the black market is cause for concern. Why are people who have been smoking pot all along not jumping on the legal weed bandwagon? How dare they not pay higher prices and obscene taxes? Don’t they know shareholders need profits?

Reality check: Why should consumers pay higher prices for a lower quality product?"

Hummm

Dems are all for Border Security, they just are opposed to security the border.

Finally, there were the comments from Democrat presidential frontrunner Kamala Harris, who pledged, “I’m not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances, and I do support border security.” She then talked about employing cameras and drones along the border, while at the same time decrying the effectiveness of a wall, stating, “The idea that we’re going to sell this thing to the American public and require taxpayers of our country to pay $5 billion for something that will not deliver what he is suggesting we need is ridiculous, and I will not support it.” In this same interview, Harris expressed support for eliminating private health insurance in favor of creating a government-run single-payer health care system that is estimated to cost taxpayers $32.6 trillion over the next decade. Talk about wasting taxpayer money on an ineffectual government power grab.

“Comedy is becoming woke,” he says. Not just that. Comics are becoming timorous and cringing and bowing to the dictates of the cultural leaders. “That’s why I came into comedy, so I could march in lockstep with society,” Quinn says sarcastically. When people asked him as a young comic what he wanted to do, “I said I don’t care, as long as I can reinforce mainstream behavior.”

The name of Quinn’s show is Red State Blue State, and on the surface Quinn is staking out some neutral territory between enemy camps in the culture war. But he isn’t really, because he understands who the aggressors in that war are. One side is begging to be left to its own ways, and it isn’t the side shouting “tolerance.” And when he defines red states vs. blue states, he says, “Red states, a little bit racist. Blue states, a little bit fascist.” The audience didn’t see that one coming. There was a sharp intake of breath at the Greenwich Village venue when Quinn noted that the Left hates free speech. The collective thought bubble over the audience’s head read, “Who, us? We merely want to destroy teens who wear unapproved hat messages and ban films that are critical of Hillary Clinton.”

You ever try to buy vape pens or edibles on the street? How about tincture and essential oils? How about THC dispensed by mg/ml for medical conditions. You are living in the 60's still believing MJ is sold in three fingered lids.

Supply cannot meet demand in the white market yet. Has nothing to do with dank Mexican weed grown in the forest, but a moving target of regulations that simply make it cheaper and easier to buy some puffable off the street. January 2018 brought new regulations for edibles, July 2018 changed the labeling laws for edibles, Jan 2019 once again changed the dosing for edibles and added new lab tests . . . which meant all existing edibles in the pipeline had to be tossed (or sold on the black market). MJ has been legal for 10 years and Nevada County is still drawing up an ordinance. Few people are willing to invest until the dust settles and they aren't left holding a million bucks worth of unsellable product.

You can get $2,200. pound, wholesale, this morning in Nevada City if you have the right stuff. Lots of oversupply of yesteryear's stuff can be had in Bessee Town for $500. but most of that is going east where is can be sold for over $2,000. Kind of like iPhones and porn stars, the market is always demanding new and improved (and no, "improved" does not simply mean stronger).

How far things have come, just murder the living infant -

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) commented Wednesday about a controversial 40-week abortion bill and in so doing said the law allows an abortion to take place after the infant's birth.

"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing whether the born infant should live or die.

Good!

President of the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees, Robert Miller, has decided to reinstate the Pledge of Allegiance at board meetings, amid backlash for his decision to ban the pledge after claiming it is racist and in violation of the constitution.
Miller announced last week that he had decided to discontinue the Pledge of Allegiance at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) board meetings, on the grounds that he believes the pledge is racist, as well as in violation of the First Amendment.
“I decided to discontinue use of the Pledge of Allegiance for reasons related to its history and symbolism,” said Miller in an email, “I have discovered that the Pledge of Allegiance has a history steeped in expressions of nativism and white nationalism.”

"...his decision to ban the pledge after claiming it is racist and in violation of the constitution."

lol. You know, they're all crazy.

I was thinking about a thing that Trotsky said in the introduction to his history on the Russian Revolution:

"The masses go into a revolution not with a prepared plan of social reconstruction, but with a sharp feeling that they cannot endure the old regime."

Pretty astute that old Leon. It explains why most of the Green Libertarian words I read here are mostly to tear down traditional culture, there really isn't much of a unifying concept in the Blue Mob.

[Gregory]

db 110pm

The Pledge remains remarkably cohesive if one just deletes the words "under God, indivisible", removing the damage inflicted by the Knights of Columbus and the ultimate purpose of the pledge, to indoctrinate kids to the idea that the country is "indivisible" so don't you dare to ever even think of seceding.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, with liberty and justice for all."

Works for me.

[fish]

I'm sure "the usual suspects" were livid about this injustice perpetrated by the president in order to grease the skids for a political supporter….

"Gerald Walpin, the inspector general who was at the center of controversy in 2009 when he was fired by the White House amid an investigation of an Obama friend, died today. He was 84.

Walpin’s son-in-law, Allan Tananbaum, said Walpin was struck by a car while crossing a street in Manhattan.

Walpin was fired in June 2009 for his investigation of the misuse of money in AmeriCorps, the service organization that was part of the Corporation for National and Community Service, where Walpin served as inspector general. The investigation focused on Kevin Johnson, the former NBA star who became mayor of Sacramento, Calif., and was a prominent Obama supporter.

Johnson founded a school called St. Hope, which received about $850,000 in AmeriCorps grants.Walpin discovered that Johnson and St. Hope had failed to use the federal dollars they received for the purposes specified in the grant and had also, as Walpin told me in an interview at the time, used federally funded AmeriCorps staff for, among other things, “driving [Johnson] to personal appointments, washing his car and running personal errands.”

Walpin recommended that Johnson and St. Hope be barred from receiving future federal funds.

It turned out to be an enormously controversial recommendation. As Walpin finished his probe, Johnson was elected mayor of Sacramento. If Johnson had been barred from receiving federal grant money, the city might not have been able to receive a share of the billions of dollars in federal stimulus money being handed out by the Obama administration.

There was enormous pressure on Walpin to back off. He didn’t. On June 10, Walpin received a call from a White House lawyer. “He said, ‘Mr. Walpin, the president wants me to tell you that he really appreciates your service, but it’s time to move on,'” Walpin recalled to me later. “[He] said, ‘You can either resign, or I’ll tell you that we’ll have to terminate you.'”

Walpin declined to resign and was fired on the spot. His firing was a violation of rules regarding the dismissal of inspectors general."

Santa Barbara City College

Come gather children and let me share a tale of something I saw at Santa Barbara City College many moons ago. I took the long trip to see the Grandfparents in a place in California named Santa Barbara. We were walking down at the harbor and around when lo and behold, I looked over to the athletic field behind SBCC. I saw this guy with short shorts on and his pretty hair pouncing off his shoulders. I thought within myself that guy looks kinda girly with those short shorts and hopping across the field. It was Bruce Jenner. He had just won the Olympic Dethalon and took a job coaching at SBCC.

My keen eye for perception and discernment has never let me down, generally speaking. Sure, the major exemption has been when it comes to picking the right ladies......

This is what the consensus polling at RCP shows about the relative unpopularity of Pelosi. Shows them tied at -14, nothing like the -25 that you contend. This shows that you made that number up and that you're a liar

Donald Trump 40.7 54.7 -14.0
Nancy Pelosi 34.8 48.8 -14.0
Mitch McConnell 22.5 44.5 -22.0

Yes, George 419pm but that doesn't mean it was true. Only that they believed it to be true, that only folks with their ethics can possibly make it work and their ethics were based upon their belief in an invisible man in the sky who loves us and will make us die a horrible death and suffer everlasting pain if we don't believe in Him, to paraphrase George Carlin.

I suspect my ethics, based upon the same stories, will do nicely. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you does not require a supernatural being overlooking me 24/7/365.

Under God? Well, there are Deep historical roots to it. Without those roots the Declaration Of Independence or the Constitution would have never been written as it was. A higher authority, self evident truths. Equality under the eyes of God, equality under the law.
Yes, we are not a Christian nation or a Muslim nation or Jewish Nation, or even the Great Spirit Nation. Nobody has cornered the morality market or has elusive rights to ethics.
With that said, I believe gov’t cannot show favoritism to one religion over the other. I also believe that government cannot get into the religious business but religion can and does enter government.

I may be able to burn an American flag at a Fourth of July parade or wear a MAGA hat to a lib rally in Portlandia or Nirvana City on the Hill, or even change the rules at a committee hearing to not requiring someone to swear on a stack of Bibles, but it is unreasonable to expect no blow back, like it or not, legal or not. See my link above for an example. It’s only my opinion and my opinion is only important to me...and some others. And I am neither Catholic or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or Druid.

Freedom of religion to worship and believe as you choose (including no worship) is like voting. One has the right to vote and the right not to vote. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion in our common cultural and historical influences. Roots.

Natural Law arguments do not require a Supreme Being to be valid.

Without a belief in God, or at least without a belief that the people would not support a revolution against the King (as the king served by the grace of God, don't you know) without significant piety shown in the text of the Declaration and the Constitution? You bet.

Thomas Jefferson may well have been atheistic or agnostic at heart, but was a man of his times first.

Honestly do the democrats understand how bad they look to the country? All about abortion. Now personally I think a woman has to deal with her own God and morals if she aborts and the government should not be telling her what to do. But there is a line regarding morality and ethics that I and most Americans won't cross. And the democrats have crossed it. Infanticide. They will abort the living nbaby after it is born! Now remember these are the same people that tell us we are morally terrible if we support the death penalty for serial murderers and child killers. And that a "wall" is morally wrong. My only hope is that these leftwing female journalists are told they have a conflict and they are not allowed to report their favorable view of this infanticide. You cannot make up the ghoulish views of the current crop of demoncrats.

Roughly half the country disagrees. And, given a basic ideology that killed hundreds of millions of people in the 20th century, what's the difference between killing a bambino (modern Eyetalian for "fetus") in the 3rd trimester vs. the 4th or 5th?

But a third of millennials think George Bush killed more people than Stalin, assuming they'd even heard of Stalin, or Mao, two of the most bloodthirsty tyrants in modern history.

4:17 p.m. — A caller from the 400 block of Nimrod Street reported loose goats on the backside of the park. Two were on the sidewalk and the caller was trying to push them to the back of the park.

You know, the goats are not a bad idea. They will knock down the brush. That’s not bad. Nobody want a clear cut or take too much out and clear everything to the dirt. No necessary and let’s not get carried away. And what’s this crazy talk about logging on city property? Sure, thin some out and give the trees 🌲(the crowded ones) some space...50 feet apart for the big ones, but don’t go hog wild. It’s expensive, so let the loggers keep the timber to reduce the expense. Or give it away. Park it out, don’t make it look like Sierra Sahara.
Just knock some brush and foliage down/back and do some follow up clean up and maintance by volunteers and the homeless. Do it yearly.
Anybody want to bet that somewhere on some city properties in the bushes there is a small grow that a “hiker” or two frequents in the summer? Probably behind the jail, lol. Or along some ditch. Hidden up above Pioneer Park? That’s the time for the goats to be set loose and get stoned and wander off like goats do. :) Bummer, dude.

Just don’t go crazy clearimg too much all at once. One may regret it. Privacy concerns. Aesthetics.

Those townhalls are all panic and hair on fire confabs. Look at the last gun debate/ school shooting solutions freakout at the Townhall last year. Panic time, do something!!!! Well, the Margret Stoneman HS little piglet draft report is out and it said to arm some teachers and staff, duh. Need more guns on campus, not less. Dr.Rebane nailed that one. Hanging ‘Gun Free Zone’ signs ain’t a solution.

So, let’s say a big fire breaks out and everybody knows it, sees it, looks at the approaching bellowing smoke in the sky, pulling out the cell phones calling friends and neighbors with deep concerns as the news spreads like firefire. Why do you need the air raid siren on top of city hall? For the blind or some drunk patrons in the bar? To blast your eardrums out?

Just don’t freak out or get carried away and start clear cutting or take the vegation down to the dirt. Leave some above ground alittle bit. Or else,you will regret the eyesore. Want to look at dirt? A slope of mud? What about erosion control? Just knock some stuff down and have gas in your get-a-way car.

The media’s chosen favorite is Harris. They always pick the front runner...before the race. Hate to see you loose your Medicare Parts A through D. Your party was once my party. Your party does not exist no more. For some reason, you are in with the fascists and segregationists. It’s not two different cultures. It’s two different worlds.

Donnie, did you smoke one of your name sake blunts or are you in the thralls of something more physical, more consensual?? Perhaps with Todd? You appear unfocused. Thank you, by the way, for helping publicize our marijuana crusade. I know it cost you much time, money, and heaps of social embarrassment, but you helped brand our product.

New Regulations Cause California Soup Kitchen to Close Its Doors

“Through the new requirements, set forth by the San Diego Department of Environmental Health, Deliverance would need to use licensed, state-approved kitchens, implement hand-washing stations, and meet a variety of other requirements.

With a yearly budget of less than $7,000, according to the non-profit’s treasurer, Deliverance determined it can no longer sustain operations without extensive and expensive organizational changes. “We’re on a shoestring budget,” explains volunteer Gary Marttila, “so working out all those logistics became too big of an obstacle to overcome.”

Who cares Paul Emery? Only you and the troll. And I even said it was a good idea even though unlike you I do not copy paste everything said and save it. You really are anal what do they call that, Paranoid?

Oh and I said firing squad as you posted. He said I wanted to shoot the drug dealer in the head. So I am correct an you two trolls are not.

Who will replace Kavanugh on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals?

Prediction: Dwarf Tossing and the new face to hate: A female, born to Indian immigrants, worked her rear off, went to Yale then to Chicago School of Law, clerked for SCOTUS (Thomas), confirmed by the Senate with a 54-41 vote in July 2017 to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The agency reviews executive branch regulations, a task the D.C. Circuit often addresses. Her name is Neomi Rao.

Squeaky clean, nothing to find on her, no dirt. Zero.. But, wait. John Podesta’s group The Center Of American Progess has found dirt!!! Scandalous dirt. Earth shaking dirt. 8 years ago, Neomi Rao wrote a paper defending Dwarf Tossing that was banned in 🇫🇷 France on the grounds of choice. Personal choice, freeedom to choose, freedom to decide how one wishes to make a buck or livihood. Like a stripper. Rao supports degrading little people!!! Rao thinks little people are less than, ok to be demeaned.

Oh yeah, The Center Of American Progress has on its board Tom Seyer and Stacey Abrams....the same Stacey Abrams who will give the Dem response to SOTUS soon.

Wa Po came out with a headline that is a bold face lie. The writer is a habitual liar. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/how-a-trump-judicial-nominee-reignited-the-debate-over-dwarf-tossing/2019/01/22/65fd885a-0d21-11e9-8938-5898adc28fa2_story.html?utm_term=.2d71b7d39a22

As soon as Trump interviewed Rao in late October, Mother Jones jumped in.
Trump’s Nominee to Replace Kavanaugh Is a Staunch Defender of Dwarf-Tossing.

Rao considers laws banning dwarf-tossing an affront to individual liberty that fails to recognize the right of the dwarf to be tossed.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/11/neomi-rao-dwarf-tossing-kavanaugh-replacement/

Say what? Maybe I am out of the loop and missing something, but I do not recallll a big heated national debate over Dwaft Chucking to “reignite”. Guess I missed that one. I recall one story of Dwarf Tossing in Australia in the Outback and another one or two day story about the practice in a British pub. The horror.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VKcAYMb5uk4

Dwarf Tossing is back. Block Rao. Expect the Bobbies and Hugging Bears and Spartacuses of the world to eat it up.

Oh you trolls save them in a file because you are paranoids. Are you using my name for a reason? My guess is yes as you loons do that all the time.

Yeah……the same Chinese that Frisch is just certain will follow any climate accord to the letter.

"President Mauricio Macri’s former foreign minister, Susana Malcorra, said in an interview that Argentina has no physical oversight of the station’s operations. In 2016, she revised the China space station deal to include a stipulation it be for civilian use only.

The agreement obliges China to inform Argentina of its activities at the station but provides no enforcement mechanism for authorities to ensure it is not being used for military purposes, the international law experts said.

“It really doesn’t matter what it says in the contract or in the agreement,” said Juan Uriburu, an Argentine lawyer who worked on two major Argentina-China joint ventures. “How do you make sure they play by the rules?”

“I would say that, given that one of the actors involved in the agreements reports directly to the Chinese military, it is at least intriguing to see that the Argentine government did not deal with this issue with greater specificity,” he said.

“How do you make sure they play by the rules?”

Trick question…….because they don't. And everybody knows they don't.

It’s a Burn day! Alright, all you mo-fros that live just outside he Nirvana City limits, get out there a burn it up. All those twigs laying on the ground, those little limbs and branches that blew down in the last big windstorm....burn them up. It will only take an hour. And no pine needles. They keep the weeds and grasses down. Get cracking. No more talk about fire safe abodes. Action, let’s see action.

Unless, of course, you got some worry wart to lives down the way or have some eco-Nazi blocks away who sees one whiff of smoke and calls the Air Quality Board cause she does not to even see smoke. Nevermind it is blowing the opposite direction where the Eco-Nazi lives. On call to the Air Resources Board and they shut you down, lol.

Reminds me of that time I walked up Broad St with an unlit cig in my mouth. People were waving at the air, giving me snarls and disgusting looks, grabbing the kids to protect them from evil second hand smoke, ROFLMAO. Ok, unless you got one of those addicted to outrage unhinged nutjob in your area, burn baby burn. Rains coming soon so get ‘er done, Stink-Asses.

While you are at it, toss some dope dealers on the burn pile. Or the wood chipper.

I actually might consider it but it really never crossed my mind.

[Bill Tozer]

MMM.

Never once in my life have I ever burned illegally. Never once got shut down. And there have been many burns.
It’s a burn day, silly. I burn them all hotter that than the Hell Fire hate the Leftinistas feel for white Catholic kids with smiles on their faces and I always
feed it slow.p and steady. No smoke. Zero. Once you get the oak limbs going on the little dry sticks, then anything you toss on burns to ash. No prob, Bob. Hotter than hell, feed it slow and steady. Toss it on one at a time. Sure, sometimes I burn a long one and let the fire burn it in half (easier that way) and once, many moons ago, I burned one old pallet (not pressure treated). Be bad.
Got one going right now and my face feels like it is sunburn, lol. You can stand 40-75 feet away and cannot see any smoke or know I am even burning at this minute. Just came in to get a of cheap coffee, 7 bucks a big can, not 7 bucks a cup. No fu-fu girlyman crap.

Later gator. It’s a burn day. Oh yeah. I have never have used disiel or gas to start a fire. Waste of money. I be cheap. Nor any stupid blower or that nonsense. Just a couple of Safeway Suitcases...er...two brown paper grocery store shopping bags. Today, as usual, was one match. Actually, half a match was all I needed. This ain’t my first rodeo. And I have never used a tarp to cover anything. I cut limbs, dead brush, and other stuff and let them fall and dry out on the groundwork a few weeks or months. Then it’s feed it slow, feed it so it is so friggin hot that smoke is ate up in the flames. Sweet. Clean. Ashes to ashes, no coals when all is said and done. :)
Too hip, gotta go. One more push and I should be done in 90 minutes. My shirt is soaked with sweat. I feel animalistic.

[MMM]

,,,maybe Trump is getting his briefings from Putin during those unmonitored private conversations...

[Todd Swallows]

MMM 1:56-

Trump is a great believer in the circular briefing. He makes something up, sees it reported on FOX, and then believes it. Who needs advisors when you have great instincts? He bragged about being so smart he never had to do any homework in school. Presiding over the United States is kind of the same thing.

You wrote that anyone convicted of selling marijuana to minors should be publicly executed by a firing squad. Do you recall that ?

[Paul Emery]

That means if a 19 year old sold a $10 bag of weed to a 17 year old they should be publicly executed by firing squad Right Todd

Well that changes a lot -

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) says President Trump has the legal authority to build significant portions of a border wall without additional congressional authorization or declaring a national emergency.

That conclusion was reached in a report released by the nonpartisan federal agency on January 10. A Department of Defense official made a similar legal argument in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.

Biker Bill has stayed away probably sobering up so women can join the conversation.

[Bill Tozer]

Been out burning, Hugging Bear. Got another area done for the year. Perfect time. We have had several good rains, the soil has moisture in it, the winds are low, there is ABSOLUTELY no fire danger, more rains to come, and I am done with area one and area two until next winter. One more area to do for fire prevention. Beautiful weather.

Don’t need to sober up. I don’t drink Been awhile...quarter of a century or more. Don’t do drugs. But my all means knock yourrself out. Go get good and drunk and smoke that stuff that makes you stupid to your heart’s content. Drink and dope me.
No thanks, I have had enough....decades ago. Chao. See ya, would not want to be ya.

Daily quotes from this time in space. Krugman’s is interesting to say the least.

Observations: “It’s kind of amazing that the people who love crowing about the ‘right side of history’ seem to think that history is going to look kindly upon infanticide."—Peter J. Hasson

For the record: "How will the abortion lobby and its media allies deal with the shocking candor of Del. Tran and Gov. Northam? By denying that they meant what they said. By telling people not to believe what they heard with their own ears and saw with their own eyes on the videos. It won’t work.” —Robert P. George

Upright: “In just a few years pro-abortion zealots went from ‘safe, legal, and rare’ to ‘keep the newborns comfortable while the doctor debates infanticide.’ I don’t care what party you’re from — if you can’t say that it’s wrong to leave babies to die after birth, get the hell out of public office.” —Ben Sasse

Non Compos Mentis: “I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.” —Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (“We aren’t insinuating anything. We are flat out accusing you of supporting infanticide because that is precisely what you said.” —Matt Walsh)

Friendly fire I: “I don’t believe the country should be heading to socialism. I think [Elizabeth Warren] believes in programs that will lead to socialism in America. She’s a smart woman; I respect her. This isn’t personal. I just don’t agree with her.” —Howard Schultz

Friendly fire II: “Howard Schultz may be a fool, but he represents a real and dangerous phenomenon: plutocrats willing to undermine resistance to Trump unless they get to keep their taxes low. This isn’t ‘centrism’; it’s attempted blackmail.” —Paul Krugman

Braying Jackass: “The bad news is that we have a president who is a fraud, a pathological liar and a racist. The good news is that the American people are standing up, fighting back and are demanding fundamental changes in our economic and political system.” —Bernie Sanders

Proof, please: “It’s striking how President Trump’s interests align with Russia’s interests.” —Chris Coons

And last… “Democrats are becoming the Party of late term abortion, high taxes, Open Borders and Crime!” —Donald Trump
