Unconscionable

Apparently in 2017, the CIA was so concerned that Trump's big mouth as it related to the Russians would compromised one of our covert assets that the CIA extracted him. (My view: Trump's incompetence and room Temperature IQ has always been his biggest threat).

Trump: Peace talks with Taliban 'dead'

Two days ago we knew nothing, yesterday there was a surprise on a dozen different vectors that there were talks scheduled, and today its dead Jim.

BTW: The Afghan government was good with a delay, but now what?

From the writers room, the comedy team put this forward:

Trump says he won't debate primary opponents

No surprise.

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

It's Charlotte, not Savannah.

New York Times is reporting that Wilbur Ross threaten to fire top NOAA officials over pushing back on trumps tweet.

I've seen some pretty weird shit in 18 years with the government but this is easily the scariest.

"I don't want to allow people that weren't supposed to be in the Bahamas to come into the United States, including some very bad people and some very bad gang members and some very, very bad drug dealers."

Ah, the christian compassion is oozing from our national leader.

[OTOH, I never new that gang members, murders, rapists, etc. fly into the path of major hurricanes on the off chance that they could sneak into the U.S. as refugees.

Trump journeyed to Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C. in Loudoun County both days over the weekend and was there Sunday after cancelling a proposed meeting with Taliban leaders at Camp David.

Sunday was Trump’s 229th day at a Trump golf club and 297th day at a Trump property as president, according to stats kept by NBC News.

This is from the crappy irregular local rag that occasional gets tossed on my driveway. I am not sure if it is just one day a week, or twice a month. It is hilarious that this is now a topic in print in the Loudoun-Times Mirror.

1980s NYC crime really had an effect on our fearful leader

politico’s super scathing article about Falwell Jr. He seems dirtier then you imagine. It’s a long article.

The BLM office in Reno, NV that manages grazing initiative as well as burros and wild horses is getting 300 new office mates, the Bureau's legislative affairs staff! Senior policy analysts, legislative affairs specialists and a public affairs specialists should probably be over 2,000 miles from where the functional and actionable part of their jobs are in D.C. It either becomes exponentially more expensive to fly these staffers back and forth nearly weekly, or, and this is the likely scenario, the BLM is simply gutted of expertise allowing executive decisions to be made by the political appointees.

Bolton fired. National Security advisor number 4 will be named next week.

Why does this feel like a "look over here" move?

Bolton tweeted that he offered to resign last night, but Trump said they would talk today. Trump, the courageous, then tweet fired him.

Slate noted that this tweet seems ghost written given the familiar tone and ignorance of grammar, especially compared to all other @VP tweets.
