EPA & USDOT sent a letter to California putting it on notice that there’s an investigation on going into anti-trust over California’s omission controls requirements and working with auto companies to achieve those goals as an anti-trust matter. That’s right the people in charge of safety on the highways and safety for the environment are engaging in legal action against the state who is trying to produce a situation where there are safe vehicles that are also and improvement for the environment.

Exactly what those departments were set up to do?

Even if he were exemplary in all other respects, Trump’s abuse of power in the punishment of political enemies would be enough for me to despise him.

The weather is great here in Sterling today, so Don is back on the local course for the second weekend in a row. Its great that nothing is happening that needs his attention giving him all the time in the world to golf.

The Post published an article on September 1 that said: "some Trump advisers and allies characterize as a lost summer defined by self-inflicted controversies and squandered opportunities."

Stephanie Grisham and Hogan Gidley penned an oped complaining that the Post refused to cite Trump’s accomplishments from a list they provided.

Trump wants the Post barred from the White House.

Commander Dipshit had a secret plan ... To bring The Taliban .... to Camp Fucking David tomorrow. Three days before the 9/11 anniversary. But he just cancelled it.

Hours after President Trump delivered an outdated forecast to Alabama over Labor Day weekend, warning the state could get hit hard by Hurricane Dorian, a memo circulated around the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration instructing employees not to contradict the president.


"This is the first time I’ve felt pressure from above to not say what truly is the forecast,” a NOAA meteorologist told the Post. “It’s hard for me to wrap my head around. One of the things we train on is to dispel inaccurate rumors and ultimately that is what was occurring — ultimately what the Alabama office did is provide a forecast with their tweet, that is what they get paid to do.”

I suspect he and his people thought this would play well. That it would look as if he were protecting military personnel in effect. Change the narrative a bit on all the money he’s stealing from military people.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Well, the worst part of where we're at is I have to ask, did he? did it? Odds seem like 50/50 this is a fabrication.

Seriously, if this was planned for October 11th people might be disgusted but on top of the 18th anniversary of 9/11 is almost unimaginable (except this is IRL shit). Donald has always nailed crass.

Britain's Secretary of State for Work and Pensions resigned from Boris Johnson's cabinet on Sunday, accusing the prime minister of "an assault on decency and democracy" for his handling of the ongoing Brexit saga.

In a letter to Johnson, Amber Rudd said she was resigning the Conservative whip — meaning she'll stay in parliament but no longer serve as a member of the Conservative party.


Poor Boris.

Someone hasn't had enough bad press lately, so he went on twitter tonight to let his racism show again. He talks about criminal justice reform then says that John Legend, his filthy mouthed wife, Van Jones and Lester Holt should be grateful. Will anyone in the media ask him about how racist this is? Criminal justice reform can only benefit minorities?

Funny spot interview on NPR with a woman in Charlotte, NC who sees liberal license plates all over town and cannot square it, when she talks to her neighbors she is hearing that these NY, NJ, VT plates are visiting family, but she's not buying it.

Bunker mentality. Invaders crossing her border. I did find it slightly amusing that she did not have a trace of a southern accent.

She literally named off states North of NC. I think only NY and NJ, but someone in the background snorted out Vermont.

It's funny because Vermont used to be be so red they voted Republican in every election from 1856 to 1988 with the exception of 1964.
