trumps campaign saying they raised 54m and the rnc said they raised 51m for the reelection efforts just in the second quarter. doesn't seem like those are real numbers.

There has to be financial filings so we will see.

I was thinking about this a little more, and this Hill article hits squarely what I was pondering.

The mayor pulled almost $25M, so if you would/could add up all the 52 people running on the Dem side how would that compare? I'd have to assume higher.

“He’s [Mueller] done some irreparable damage to some things and he’s got to answer for them,” Gohmert told Politico. He is one of 25 Republicans on the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees who get to grill Mueller during the back-to-back hearings scheduled later this month.

The Texas lawmaker added that his reading of the former special counsel’s report did little to temper his animosity toward Mueller: “It reinforced the anal opening that I believe Mueller to be.”


The truth is out there.

EDIT: Team Bernie threw another $18M log on the fire for the last quarter. So there is over $42M for 2 candidates.

Watching how things are reported, FOX reports the Trump and GOP figures as one. Maybe they are, but it is reported as: Trump campaign announces $105M fundraising haul, blowing past Dem candidates.

Looks like the gop is getting tickets to distribute to donors for trump’s July 4th rally, errr, celebration. Let’s count how many laws they’re breaking in the process. Tax dollars and our military being used to get trump re-elected. Nothing to see here

we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abrams tanks,” Trump added.



Now old stock for you motor heads since the Sherman tank was retired in the 1950's (i.e., where Don lives in Don world).

Tanks for the memories: Military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of July 4 celebration

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey said on Tuesday in a Tweet that he will order the state’s commerce authority to withdraw all financial incentive dollars for Nike to locate in the state


Why? Nike is not going to sell its proposed Betsy Ross sneakers (sort of a dated look), and, oh right, Colin Kaepernick.

EDIT: What I did not know is that these sneakers were produced and shipped, now having been recalled. That seems like an expensive proposition.

I was not disappointed. I think she'll do better in a debate with fewer people -- where it's easier for a bit of a back and forth with an opponent -- but her background as a prosecutor seemed to be an advantage in the debate setting. I'm guessing that she will appeal to the section of voters looking for a candidate under 70 years old who can hold Trump to task.

A spokesperson for the vice president told NBC News that it was because of an “emergency,” but an organizer at the event referred to it as a “diversion.”

News is making no big deal out of it. Probably needs to go stomp some citizen rights, or gas light. Probably was called back to play tanks.
