  1. Where's Jerry Falwell, Jr. on TV news? Trump is no longer the story. Everybody knows about Trump by now. The perversion of the beliefs of 30% of America is the story. It needs coverage in depth, and Jerry Junior is the little toesie-wosie sticking out from under the cover.

  2. Everything Republicans say and do is a projection of their own fantasies. So they can't find a "deep state" when they take control of all three branches of government? Fine. They'll start one. First, hand diplomacy over to the CIA. Now you've got step one toward a Deep State!

  3. Acting Chief of Staff -- but fully subject to subpoenas Director of OMB. Not so much a bull with his own china-shop as a self-set perjury trap. Hope he has a good team of lawyers.

  4. Bolton isn't "hated by the left." He is identified as a loon by everybody sane.

  5. @Blondie SL There have in fact been Trumpoids saying that Obamacare is to blame for all this. Just amazing! It is really difficult for all of us to realize, Trump is exactly as stupid as he looks. He genuinely did put 150 businesses (vodka, Trump Water, Trump Steaks, etc. etc. etc.) into bankruptcy. He is the only man alive who has managed to lose money in a casino while playing the house side. He is a total deadbeat whose only success has been as a TV star. He played a lot of people's idea of a businessman: a loud fake who shouts "You're fired" a lot. In real life, any businessman who had to fire all his associates but one would fail. As Trump has demonstrated. Over, and over, and over again...

  6. Can we keep it straight that Trump didn't win? He came in second in the election, and that made him eligible for consideration by the Electoral College. That "College," designed to be anti-democratic to keep slaveholders happy in 1789, then chose him President. Trump is the Electoral College-chosen President, and loser of the 2016 election.

  7. And they leave him when they find there's no money there, just a fast-running scam and a growing pile of debt.

  8. Sniper, Great to know that Trump is losing his control over the half-wit vote. Welcome!

  10. This is a wee bit worse than it looks: the raw Dow-Jones is expressed in US dollars, but the real world operates in a basket of currencies. Out there in the world values of stuff in America are counted in "DX," that is in trade-weighted dollars, a mixture of Euros, Japanese Yen, Pounds "sterling" although they're as paper as any other currency, Canadian dollars. Long story short: the DX was at 102 when Trump was sworn in, and it's around 89 right now. That means a DX-DJ, a trade-weighted Dow Jones, has gone sideways since Trump moved into the White House. It lost about a quarter of a point yesterday. Add that to the 2.9% drop in the Dow, and you get a slip of 3.2%.

  11. The Deep State is all the bars around Dupont Circle, up the street from Brookings, after about 6:30 p.m. most weekdays.. Brookings is where all the Democratic brains work or visit during a Republican Administration. When Democrats are in power it's wall-to-wall Republican brains -- which means there are a lot of empty offices there those years.

  12.  @GregoryWonderwheel  Gregory, Do you have any evidence for that? Your post is the first time I have ever seen that claim, and Google gives no references to that three-part phrase before Senator McCain used it.

  13. Who prescribed it? Let's hear from the doctor who prescribed it and the pharmacist who delivered it. Trump's word means exactly nothing. "What have you got to lose?" is the shout of a teenage boy arguing with his mother...

  14. The only succcess here is success at pi$$ing money away: we now know that Trump lost more money than we knew about before. Trump has had only one success: as a TV star. He plays the part of a loud fake businesman. Difficult job: he plays himself. They just have to tone down the orange a bit for the cameras. Excellent producers, superb director, passive actor following direction: voila! Success. Cherry on top: you can't go bankrupt sitting in front of a camera and collecting a paycheck.

  15. Trump was lying originally -- eventually coughed up the money after weeks and weeks of prodding by the press. This URL is one place to start, or if you're serious you can Google up the whole ugly story yourself: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/30/tomorrow-trump-will-give-more-details-about-his-donations-to-vets-heres-what-we-still-dont-know/

  16. I think there's a difference here: President Trump had done his homework and he knew about Mussolini's "March on Rome," the 1923 Beerhall Putsch, and his other bedside reading. Poor Don Junior doesn't have then, uh, <koff choke,> deep literary roots of his father -- so he doesn't seem to understand what his father, glued to his TV in the Oval Office, was hoping for that day.

  21. If he built his wall where the illegals come in, LAX, Los Angeles International, they'll only switch to Phoenix, Arizona. And Miami, Florida. He's going to need a whole lot of wall. The Great Wall of China was supposed to keep out the Mongols. China has been governed by Mongols for most of the last thousand years, right up to 1919 when the last Mongol Emperor, Pu Yi, was overthrown.

  22.  @richardrobbin2225  When the Japanese government discriminated against American rice in 1973, a bunch of us got together (in the hallowed halls of Mitsubishi shoji) and promptly made Budweiser the biggest selling beer in Japan, and over the long haul the biggest selling import. Budweiser is rice beer. So nyah-nyah, take that, stupid trade inhibitors... I have great Jameson stories for you some time, one involving Japanese gangsters, a couple involving the Irish shipping line Head Lines. Everything I know about PBR is the wisdom of marketing professionals in the US, and is heavily loaded with social class bias. What are you up to? I'm up to four hours behind on my Chinese homework, so later... Cheers, -dlj.

  23.  @ernpible9590  My point exactly. If I didn't make that clear in my post I must have expressed myself badly. So yes, thanks for posting. (Later: looking back: no I didn't make that precise point here. My late father was a very fine pharmacist, "Eight hundred years of protecting the people from the doctors," so your good sound point is one that I make often. Well said, and best wishes. -dlj.)

  24.  @ernpible9590  Yeah, this YouTube comment software really sucks. I'm particularly annoyed by the way it sometimes seems to indent replied so they appear directly after the comment you're addressing and at other time just drops you to the bottom of the thread (and at other times to the bottom of the visible thread, i.e. the middle of the whole mess.) The whole thing is totally amateur hour, which is particularly sucky given the colossal amount of money involved in their business. On my father's, and many pharmacists', snark at doctors, above, note that there are very many excellent MDs, and the vast majority of them do more good than harm. Only a bare majority of American doctors, however, believe in the science-based medicine originated by Koch in Germany in the 19th Century, very many of them believe in magical, personalist hooey (which has just the faintest basis in psychological fact), and a small but not inconsiderable minority of them are dangerous psychopaths made all the more dangerous by the structure of their "profession." This has been your run-on sentence of the day. The nut lady who is the subject of this video is probably one of the more harmless of the fringe of clowns, fascists, egomaniacs, greedheads, fools, lunatics and incompetents who travel under the flag "medical doctor."

  25.  @ernpible9590  What country are you in? I'm in Canada, but lived in the States, served on Congressional staff, got important legislation passed, and have had serious overseas assignments on behalf of the US in Japan, France and the UK. Ex-wife and two children are American, and all are seriously connected, so... My business background is mainly Japan and the US: 400 coin laundries in Japan, dryers manufactured for me in Texas. I hope that Venora Dorowolski is reading my notes above, and I owe her a note: she is serious people, slightly incorrect in some of her points, but right about most of the big ones. Importantly on this topic (and in this flaky, low-life ridden medium), she is sane and intelligent. You seem to be handling a couple of people making apparently honest queries, above. Good work.

  32. Poor wikkle Donnie Fats can't get over the fact that Hillary beat him by 2.9 million votes in the popular vote. Waaa! And then comes the lie about November 11, "I did last year." He didn't last year, either.

  33. Putin to The Hague! This, of course, is not possible yet: it will need a change in the Russian people's minds for them to see Putin for the war criminal he is and send him to trial. Thus the war is in the minds of tthe Russian public, not the cities, towns and fields fields of Ukraine.

  34. I don't think these are shocks: sensible people got over shock a year or more ago. For me, at least, it's just quiet relief that even Republican dolts are realizing that the wheels fell off back in Atlantic City twenty years ago.

  35. The original case was a patty-cake plea bargain. If Flynn is unwise enough to take the dismissal Trump and his side-kick are offering then the plea bargain is off. That would leave the Logan Act case involving the Russians open. Meanwhile, Flynn's taking money from the Turks while serving as US national security advisor -- which looks more than a wee bit like treason to me -- has not been litigated yet. I think Flynn's most promising case is his potential claim for malpractice against his new lawyer who is exposing him to all this peril.

  37. Clive, Get a grip on yourself. He was a national hero, and he was a decent man who behaved terribly well as a prisoner. But "Global"? I think you're forgetting that he was shot down while bombing a civilian power plant in a city that was the mirror image of Washington, the capital of a country friendly to one side in a civil war. Most of this globe agree that he was supporting the wrong side. Nevertheless he did his duty as he saw it. OK. At least we can honor him as a good and decent man and one of the country's better politicians.

  40. Trump’s Appointment of the Acting Attorney General Is Unconstitutional The president is evading the requirement to seek the Senate’s advice and consent for the nation’s chief law enforcement officer and the person who will oversee the Mueller investigation. By Neal K. Katyal and George T. Conway III Mr. Katyal and Mr. Conway are lawyers. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/08/opinion/trump-attorney-general-sessions-unconstitutional.html?pgtype=Homepage

  41.  @mlg1948  Mary, Here are some different views: The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ0wFbPryM0 A variety of American Evangelicals' views. Enjoy!

  42.  @mlg1948  Good move: he's a very decent guy. The publishing house he suggests in the video is expensive: there's a five-dollar discount on the book but then their lowest mailing price is outrageous. (Congress should bring back the subsidized book-rate, paying USPS to help Make America Literate Again!) I hope your local bookstore has it. It's also available much more reasonably delivered through Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Danger-Donald-Trump-Evangelical/dp/1725271788 The Amazon price is $22.50, but you save more than that $2.50 on the shipping -- at least until Donald Trump manages to shaft both the Post Office and Amazon. He's trying to do both, getting his nasty little fingers into every bit of the economy that annoys him, so I can't predict the outcome there.

  45. @Battlecam0 You're repeating your fake news, the idea that you might breathe hydrogen peroxide -- a highly poisonous rocket fuel. The stuff you buy in stores is 95% water with a wee bit of hydrogen peroxide added -- and there is no tested medical procedure in which you breathe the stuff. You are the fake news here.

  48.  @Brucev7  Hunh? How can one time be more or less godless than any other? That's got to be more constant than death and taxes, doesn't it? Straight, flat, and level, more constant than e.g. the speed of light.

  49.  @Brucev7  To your first question: I took your "this godless, lawless time" to mean that there is something particularly godless and lawless right now in your opinion. Both your questions here give me the same impression. To your second, the burning of synagogues with their congregations inside was a pretty routine sort of "attack" during the Holocaust. The massive slaughter of the Huguenots all over northern France, similarly, was an attack on worshippers in their churches. I take both these slaughters to be episodic, whereas I am still wondering how any era can be more or less godless ad lawless than any other; it seems to me that the laws apply always and everywhere -- and the same for the Lord's presence. Hence my question: how can this be said to be a godless and lawless time?

  50.  @scottromigh3362  Seriously. Those riots and cops beating rioters -- Philippines, Eastern Europe, and often from years ago. It's a safe rule that whatever accusations you hear Republicans make, they're usually projections of their own thoughts, dreams and actions. Then it all circles back again: they say government is the problem, so they make government the problem.
