"This is how you look when you claim Cuban heritage yet don't speak Spanish and ignore the fact that your ancestors fled the island when the dictatorship turned Cuba into a prison camp, after removing all weapons from its citizens; hence their right to self defense," the meme said alongside an image of Cuban-American Emma Gonazlez, a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, speaking at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington on Saturday.

Been there for 28 hours. I hope he is voted out.

Need to call for a boycott of all his books and movies.

In addition to being a vile sentiment, it's really badly written. If a student wrote something like that on a paper, it would definitely get a big red circle and question mark and maybe even a "what exactly are you trying to say?"

Kim Jung is in China, eh?

Michael Anton who serves on the NSC is making the rounds today to talk about how the administration is tougher on Russia than previous Administrations. Far tougher than Obama. So I guess we understand where the impetus for the explosions came from, it's a cover play against the Russia investigation.

I don't know why, but this headline made me giggle

You are either on the team or off the team, and this is the Kiwis saying that they are on the team.

FWIW, it also has made its way to #1 on my list of places to disappear. I could blend in, understand most of the language, and, it would seem, operate freely. I bet they don't even know that they have hobbits living there.

NZ is the #1 place for a lot of people to disappear. Real estate prices have skyrocketed there.

upping the game of dodging the Russian probe via "strong moves", the Kremlin blames Trump. It seems somewhat sad theater. That is my operating theory.

Perhaps it is that he has been pushed to make a move, and he is stewing because this would lead to the worst relationship with Russia since the cold war.

Its been 2 weeks since this cringe worthy news, and we have not seen her deployed. She is terrible. Her major qualification is that she freewheels from the talking points without thought what-so-ever.

This rotates through because Rob Porter is reported to be on Trump's speed dial, and they talk often. He is a WH zombie.

The cadre of female apologists out there supporting Trump with talking points like, 'an affair is between a man and his god', or 'we knew he is imperfect, we are all imperfect', drives me crazy. I have never like the counter argument of 'Well, if Obama had done...', but seriously, people would have been bused in to line the streets to call him out, and very likely impeached him on moral terms.

I don't think an affair is disqualifying in 2018 anymore. What disqualifies is covering it up, threatening the other person (and her family) involved, and speaking from a hypocritical moral high ground.

And didn't he pay her off using campaign funds?

I mentioned it before here, but there is another account by BuzzFeed that former media czar/RT founder Mikhail Lesin was bludgeoned to death by enforcers linked to an oligarch close to Putin. This newly learned report is from Christopher Steele and known to the FBI.

Lesin's death came on the eve of a scheduled meeting with DoJ officials to discuss how RT works. The Steele report also alleges that the thugs were ordered to only beat Lesin, but went overboard and murdered him instead. It's worth remembering that the official report has the cause of death listed as an accident; that Lesin was drunkenly falling over his apartment until he died.

The #mysteryTrain is burdened with armor plating, and is over 20 cars long so as to not know where the passengers are located for security, but all of this precaution means that the maximum speed is 37 mph. In NK there are 21 train stations to be used only by KJ-u.

What's a campaign fund? It will take the FEC up to a year to determine apparently.
