You think they'd stay away from the one who thinks seeing a lynching would be fun though

MLB wants $5,000 donation returned after U.S. Senate candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith's controversial comments

They heard you!

My friend who I was biking with just crossed the border three days ago. Today they US is tear gassing people at the same place he entered Mexico. Wild.

What happened today at the border is beyond most anything else that Trump has done. Some really surreal reporting coming out.

and at the same time, Trump is tweeting anti-EU nonsense and Russia is firing on Ukrainian ships.

Our prez is a Russian cuck. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. He's not going to go easily.

We attacked foreigners on foreign soil who were doing nothing illegal.

When you are at war or being invaded you carryout your action on foreign soil whenever possible.

really solid piece from Stan McCrystal about myth making around Robert E. Lee

Russia attacked Ukrainian ships today. Ukraine may declare martial law. Trump is a Russian stooge. Let's see how this plays out.

Russia takes Crimea
Russia builds bridge
Russia uses the bridge and an oil tanker to block a sea exit from the Ukraine.
Russia blames Ukraine, again.

Check the geography prn, that will further explain the situation.

As if we did not yet have enough evidence of Trump's narcissism, he gave us this yesterday (emphasis added):

@realDonaldTrump
So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T). Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!

This fucking guy.

And this--

When Mueller does his final report, will he be covering all of his conflicts of interest in a preamble, will he be recommending action on all of the crimes of many kinds from those “on the other side”(whatever happened to Podesta?), and will he be putting in statements from.....

....hundreds of people closely involved with my campaign who never met, saw or spoke to a Russian during this period? So many campaign workers, people inside from the beginning, ask me why they have not been called (they want to be). There was NO Collusion & Mueller knows it!

Maybe something is dropping today?

Mueller asked for a 10 day extension on Manafort's sentencing and that ends today, so SOMETHING will be happening today, even if it's just another request for an extension. Mueller expressed dissatisfaction with Manafort's cooperation before the extension so it will be interesting to see what happens there. I'm hopeful Manafort will spill his guts, but I really doubt he gives up everything, especially if it makes Putin look bad.

I'm also really curious to know what all Mueller knows beyond the testimony of those he's indicted. I'm sure we'll never know everything he knows because much of it will be classified and he could endanger people by releasing the info. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump walks away from the worst charges for that reason, though the obstruction charges are right there in plain daylight. At the very least, he'll be accused/charged/indicted for those crimes. It will be like getting Capone on tax evasion.

GM cutting 14,000+ factory and white collar jobs, may close up to five factories

The Biden bailout will be fun

Holy shit.

I like how the 2000s taught people nothing. Every car manufacturer is cutting sedans because everybody is buying goddamn SUVs because gas has been relatively inexpensive. Hummers will be back shortly I suppose.

Me, I just bought a Ford Energi.

Ford is up next.

Of course they say they are looking more at self-driving cars, which led me to look at this ad for a “hands-free” driving experience in a Cadillac:

So, you don’t have to have your hands on the wheel, but you have to keep your eyes on the road and otherwise make like you are driving.

Sounds like an invitation to disaster if you ask me.

Closing plants in Ohio and Michigan. That should work out well for 2020.

Cue the Trump GM attacks.

This is somewhere between day 3 and 5 of the new messaging:

LOW GAS PRICES ARE LIKE A MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT.

So that is the pathetic spin being applied to 'where is my middle class tax cut?' Promise made/promise delivered for the drones bracketed by the 'what if' and unknowing of what actions have actually been taken. It is, of course, gas lighting.

gas is still more expensive than when he took office
