BTW, the Trump Campaign’s focus only on turning out their supporters rather than promoting policy with broader appeal gives away the game on GOP voter suppression tactics.  It’s all about getting their people to turn up, and putting barriers in front of the others. 

That’s their plan.  That’s how they want to run the world’s greatest democracy.  If that in and of itself isn’t disqualifying I don’t know what is.

Another shooting, apparently.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/20/us/pennsylvania-allentown-shooting/index.html

Ten people were injured in a shooting early Thursday outside a lounge in the eastern Pennsylvania city of Allentown, and police are looking for what they believe are several shooters, authorities said.

Several people -- likely three -- opened fire just before 2 a.m. outside the Déjà Vu nightclub, Lehigh County District Attorney James Martin and Allentown Police Chief Tony Alsleben said in a joint statement.
.....
Witnesses and some shooting victims have been uncooperative with the police investigation, Martin and Alsleben said.

S&P sets record, Dow within less than 100 points of its highest mark set just a half a year ago. Inflation steady and under 2 per cent. Rate cut May come next month. Economy doing super.

This is big news!

The Senate voted to block the President's proposed "emergency" arms sale to Saudi Arabia!

The president will likely veto the Senate bill, but still.

He also likes it when, like right now, inflation is higher than wage growth.

Pity him though. He is a victim.

The Cross can stand, 7-2.

Atheists not faring well this SCOTUS term.

I drive by the cross numerous times a month for many years. My biggest gripe is how the folks fighting to preserve have let it fall into disrepair.

It’s a monument to the area’s WWI dead... so, in my opinion, the man monument reflects the time in which it was erected:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Juicing the economy with lower rates is not a sign that the economy is doing well.  Its a sign the economy needs to be juiced.

When Obama was President your people were complaining that rate cuts were artificially propping the economy (easy money!) and that was immediately following a recession.  Now that they might cut rates again the economy is doing great!

A position that is as inconsistent as it is transparently political.

Let us not forget Red’s assertion the unemployment numbers under Obama didn’t count because they didn’t reflect those who had given up on the workplace.
