i dont need to comment on this.
Might have to get the book. Interesting that so many Democratic US Senators left anonymous comments on the book.
I remember something that happened while Donna Brazille was addressing an audience telling them Hillary had lost. One guy ran out of the room in a total psychotic break screaming WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!
I see the Dem platform is going to include reparations, universal jobs and tax increases.
The only hope for these people is reality in frequent, large doses.
NBC is losing its $69 million gamble to steal Megyn Kelly from her conservative Fox News throne and remold her as a mainstream superstar on the Peacock Network, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Since joining NBC’s flagship morning show “Today,” Kelly averages just 2.4 million viewers per episode, which is 18 percent below what the hour was drawing last season, according to Nielsen media research cited by the Journal. Even worse, the ratings have further plummeted for the past two months to a low of 1.9 million.

@ doriangrey:
The whole reason for her hire was that lameass question to Trump that she used to open the debate. They really believed the hype that Trump was so widely hated that the country couldn’t wait to view the lady that tried to bring him down.
She had bright moments on Fox but for the most part people didn’t like her. The ratings that CONSERVATIVES gave her after that stunt should have told them something. Liberals were NEVER going to watch her.
Most telling question to me at SCOTUS argument on the Muslim ban today came from (I think) Sam Alito essentially asking the question “How is it a Muslim ban when 92% of the world’s Muslims are not affected by it?”

quick change of subject – well, actually back to a previous one. Comey hiring Patrick Fitzgerald.
I seem to recall that one of the lawyers Comey has hired is now covered by attorney/client privlege and I think he’s someone Comey leaked to? Anyway, at the time, for some reason, it looked like a CYA hire. And I’m wondering if the Fitzgerald hire has a similar rationale.
Because who hires a prosecutor as a defense lawyer? Does Fitzgerald belong to a law firm with connections that would look interesting?
I dunno, I’m just throwing stuff out there. Cuz I don’t like what I smell.

A family sitting down to dinner, and a ‘cowboy’ comes in to interrupt “excuse me for interrupting but I’m a cowboy” and then says the Iran deal will prevent them from building the bomb for 10 years and then he holds up a sign with a ‘0’ on it and says ten is better than zero. Then he says “Does anybody smell gas” and the wife says THE STOVE, then there’s a film of a nuke explosion.

This columnist knows exactly what Trump is thinking without hin saying anything.
This is why the MSM is derided.
RIX wrote:
Trump stripped away any vestige of the illusion of impartiality that the media may have managed to retain. They are derided because the majority of American’s do not want to be Marxists, and the media is nothing but Marxist ideological agenda driven propaganda.
The media are suffering from god syndrome, they have gotten away with so much for so long that they believe their own propaganda now. They believe that they are more informed, more intelligent, and thus know what is best for everyone.
I used to know a newspaper photographer about 10 years ago. Mostly he was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet, but every once in a while he would let slip that because he was a photo-journalist, he knew things that would scare normal mere mortals to death.
Tim had a scared obligation to “protect” us regular people from our own inability to make good decisions. Good decisions we couldn’t make because a) we didn’t know all of the facts, and b) because our own selfish self interests always kept blinding us from doing what was in everyone best interest.
Tim’s arrogance and hubris were not atypical, they were not just the norm, they were if anything, in fact, considerably less than the majority of his peers possessed.
@ doriangrey:
That is interesting about your friend the photographer.
I think that the MSM is hysterical because they have been stripped of their power to shape public opinion.
When I took journalism classes to boost by GPA the mantra was “Who, what , where and when.”
They are hell and gone from that, they want to shape opinion and they are not fussy how they do it.
Something that I noticed is that I did not see the Journo majors in math classes. Hmmm

Wow. That person is deranged.

From what I gather, Comey is now trying to claim attorney-client privilege with the law professor he gave his FBI memos to. I think this may be Comey’s way of keeping the professor from having to testify against how he came to be in possession of the memos. Of course, engaging him AFTER the fact to claim privilege is ridiculous. Unlike Husband/Wife, as far as I know privilege only attaches once you ask the individual to act as your LAWYER. You do not ask your lawyer to leak classified government property to the media. That would be part of a criminal conspiracy (since his doing so was a crime).
The problem I really see here is that once that Professor took it upon himself to leak the memos, privilege no longer exists insofar as the memos, because there is now the presence of a third party.
@ eaglesoars:
Yep. Conspiracy in furtherance of a crime.
One, and maybe two, team lead positions are open on my old project. They have 2 TL trainees who’d probably have a better shot, but that just cuts the competition for when they grow the new project.

@ Gateway Pundit
It is disturbing that a member of our species can be so stupid. Sheila Jackson Lee tries to grill Diamond & Silk.
She absolutely assasintes logic and beclowns herself.
@ RIX:
She thinks the flag was planted on Mars
She thinks the Constitution is 400 years old.
Now apparently she has no idea how a calendar works either.
So Comey says Trump told him that he didn’t stay in a hotel overnight in Moscow for the Miss Universe pagent and Trump says he did stay overnight one night.
I wouldn’t believe Comey if his tongue came notarized.
@ RIX:
Lee purposely attempts to put words into the mouth of the two witnesses. When that doesn’t work Lee attempts to obfuscate the timeline of facts that the witnesses have laid out on a number of occasions clearly and consistently. Lee’s attacks on the witnesses goes well beyond the standards of given testimony and turns into hectoring of the witnesses. The chairman of the committee should have managed the proceedings and pulled Lee back into line when she was clearly in breach of committee rules. He too should be censored for losing control of the committee and allowing Lee to verbally attack the witnesses and try to obfuscate the proceedings. Lee should be censured as should the chairman and both should apologise to the witnesses for Lee’s outbursts and attempts to subvert the hearing.
@ Aussie Infidel:
Sadly, the only way the Chairman of the Committee could have shut that insipid and ignorant Harpy up would have been to request that the House Security Police wrestle her to the ground and duct tape her mouth.
She does this constantly. But she’s in a safe district of Houston, like Pelosi in San Francisco, and will always be re-elected.
@ RIX:
I think the FEC from the Trump campaign shows they were paid something.

@ right_wing2:
They’re going to need a lawyer.
This is another one of those things, though, that I believe only enflames partisans on both sides.
It’s not much, probably a reimbursement for travel expenses.
Still perjury. They should have sought legal counsel before testifying to look out for this sort of thing.
I get what the Chicks on the Right are saying, but really this will just lead to just another internet flame war.
Deplorable Bumr50 wrote:
They might, but honestly, I doubt it. The Trump campaign filed their FEC disclosure stating they were compensated $1,970.00 for consulting. The amount would just cover their round trip air fare. Which is what Diamond and Silk are claiming the payment was, reimbursement for travel expenses.
The Democrats are making a big show of this claiming it is an example of Trump Administrations systemic corruption, but in reality, the Trump Campaign probably filed the travel reimbursement as consulting because of the tangled and complex FEC regulations when it was in fact, just that a travel reimbursement.
The Democrats will give a half hearted attempt at crucifying them for perjury, but in the end settle for an apology for not understanding the complexities of FEC law and thinking that travel reimbursements do not constitute payments.
Its a nothing burger, literally.
@ doriangrey:
That was my thought. The question is “Were you PAID by the Trump campaign?” Paid implies employment. I think they were reimbursed for expenses. Not the same thing.
And frankly, what the hell did being compensated – for anything – by the Trump campaign have to do with their being unfairly targeted by Facebook?

JEFFRIES: “I’m struggling, I’m really just trying to figure out, right, because you have an FEC document that clearly indicates that the two of you were paid for field consulting by the Trump campaign. That’s just one document. There might be others that I don’t have. And presumably, this was a document filed with genuineness and authenticity by the campaign of the president that you so love. And so I’m just trying to figure out who is lying here. Is it the Trump campaign or —”
SILK: “No. Wait, wait, wait. Nobody is lying. However, there may have been a mistake from the Trump campaign when they wrote what $1,274, 94 were actually for. Actually, this was for because we were asked to join the Women for Trump Tour back in 2016, and Ms. Laura Trump asked that our airline tickets be refunded back to us because we paid for those tickets when we went from New York to Ohio.”

@ RIX:
How can it be that only 70 years after the Holocaust, Europe’s Jews do not feel safe? It’s ironic, but one reason is guilt. Eager to live down their histories of colonialism and racism, Europe has welcomed millions of immigrants from the Third World. That’s admirable, since many of these migrants are grateful to receive asylum (and most never commit any crime, far less a hate crime). But for the Jews, tormented more than any other group in Europe’s history, this expiation comes at their expense.
And that graph right there shows why Mona Charen isn’t worth the powder to blow her to hell.

Just for grits and shins, I went back to check the online docket for the DNC’s “precedent-setting” lawsuit about Russian rigging. They must have hired an idiot for this. The whole docket is replete with Court notices of deficiencies in the filing documents. And they only had the Summons issued on Wednesday. No service on the defendants as yet.

CONFIRMED: Former Feinstein Staffer Raised $50 Million, Hired Fusion GPS And Christopher Steele After 2016 Election
http://thefederalist.com/2018/04/27/confirmed-former-feinstein-staffer-hired-fusion-gps-christopher-steele/#.WuNdvC9YcKo.twitter
A declassified congressional report confirms that Daniel Jones, a former intelligence committee staffer for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, hired Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele to push the Russian collusion narrative against Donald Trump.
I just finished a book “Enhanced Interrogation” by James Mitchell who actually did interrogate quite a few HV terrorists and was grilled by Congress. Every time what got out to the press was twisted and dishonest and every time it came from Feinstein.
I just played the Washington version of Where’s Waldo. Turns out Jeff Sessions is here in my town giving a talk.

Actually the British people ARE SUBJECTS of the Crown but NOT of the State. The nuance between the two is getting paper thin as previous forces with loyalty to the Crown have been white anted from within by State actors as they politicise the forces. The Military, the Police and the Fire Brigades had Royal in front of their names to denote where their loyalties lay. It was the Crown who commanded the Police, Fire and defence forces NOT the State. So much for the balance of power in Britain between Parliament and the Crown.
There is of course always access to the Reserve Power whereby the Crown seize power from the State can dismiss Parliament and demand new elections to be held within 3 months. Think that can’t happen in a modern democracy? It happened in Australia not 40 years past when a Prime Minister and Parliament was dismissed unilaterally and new elections organised 12 weeks later which confirmed the judgement of the Crown and threw most of the former parliamentarians out.
