Christian resistance to Trump.  Apparently some Christians still follow the teachings of Jesus.  Seems like a good trend.

Yes Luee watches a lot of TV. He wanted Kiefer Sutherland for president and had to settle for trump.

Morning shows aligned today

a)  Trump's aggressive talk has spurned the bomber to attack good Democrats

b)  The caravan is a nothing burger.  Not even here for a month.

The sky is also blue. Gravity is still in effect. A vote for any republican is still tantamount to treason.

Just try to slowly absorb these facts Kiid without totally coming apart. Breathe slow and visualize a thousand points of light...

Caravan is no big deal. Same amount of folks making their way north but traveling together for protection- safety in numbers- and losing participants along the way. Tough journey.

We are especially interested in individuals who have experience with diverse populations who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of athletic opportunities at Williams. Candidates from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

Blaming Trump for mailings is so weak. Wait until the unsub is caught and than question his motives. Setting limitations on free speech?

Free speech is one thing.  Inciting violence, especially by someone holding high political office, is another.

You really think that Trump's governance-by-twitter-insult and personal attacks, his encouragement of aggression directed at those who disagree with him, his generally divisive rhetoric, his hateful comments about various minority groups and women....don't have an effect on all the unstable Travis Bickles out there?  Wake up, dude.  Trump is all in favor of his own free speech, but not so much regarding the free speech of those who push back against him.

You understand that nordic skiing is a TYPE of skiing that was developed in Scandinavia, right?  It doesn't mean skiing done exclusively by Nordic people.  And you don't have to be German to train German Shepherds.  Or Swedish to cook Swedish meatballs.  Or Finnish to sit in a sauna.  Or a French hairstylist to give someone a French Braid.  Surely this concept is not that difficult for you to grasp?

[facilitatorn]

The add is specifically worded to discourage Kirstjen Nielsen from applying as she looks for somewhere to bolt from failing DHS. Much more likely she winds up on Fox. Will she agree to follow their mini-skirt policy?

[barton]

As long as she adheres to the mini-brain policy, I'm sure they'll be happy with her. 

You can't trust Danes.  Especially with the letter J.  Worse than Norwegians, who are pretty bad that way.  I mean, FFS, Sjogren is pronounced Show-Grun, so WTF don't you just put an h in there?

I think they need better marketing and some positive PR spin.

And maybe designed to appeal to someone's sense of importance and ego.



When gangs took over Honduras

If you apply the Criminal Minds methods to the GOP you find a pump and dump boiler room, gun running network, money laundry, using fundamentalism and misogyny as a smokescreen while coordinating a network of terror cells. The GOP has come a long way baby. It’s pattern is set. It will look for bigger and bigger thrills and kills until it is stopped.

Terrorism is spiking under trump like untreated storm sewage or unqualified judges. It’s just whitewashed for the White Power agenda.

While you were looking over the fence for terrorists, the cracker in the white sheet or white van was in the house the whole time.

[facilitatorn]

I’m surprised trump isn’t heading down to Honduras to have a sit down with the head of MS13. Their local rituals are nearly as gruesome as those of North Korea or Saudi Arabia where he has his best relationships.
