    Babs Boxer called this whole thing a “nothingburger”.
    “Clinton declined to be interviewed for the inspector general report β€” despite Clinton saying as recently as this month that she was happy to “talk to anybody, anytime” about the matter and would encourage her staff to do the same. Three former senior aides, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan, also declined. A fourth former top aide, Thomas Nides, did not reply to the inspector general’s requests. Abedin and Sullivan are now Clinton campaign aides and Nides, currently vice chairman of the Morgan Stanley financial services firm, is a major Clinton fundraiser.”
    Nuff said.

    Babs Boxer is quite likely the dumbest person in the Senate……given the competition that’s saying something.

    Got an e-mail from a life long R friend in Colorado. He said the Republican Establishment refused to give Trump one delegate and refused to let him vote on the matter. He went out and regeristered as an Independent yesterday.
    I just wrote back that he was premature. Told him to look at the breaking news happening now. The Colorado Republican Establishment can go pound sand. In a weird, strange twist of events, the CO Establishment just backed Trump.
    Everybody loves a winner. Everybody hates a loser, as evidenced by Fish’s excellent 8:11 m link.
    Walt, they put a higher fence at the Forest Hill Bridge. I used to stop right on the bridge at night, tie a rope to the bumper, and engage in some awesome crazy bungee jumping. What a refreshing rush in the cool night air. Did it sober….back in the day about 6-8 years ago. If you think that is abit over the line, you guys should have seen what I thought was fun 30 years ago. Oh Jon would definitely not recover from those stories. :). Next in line at the Bridge, please. Hey, Auburn is closer than Lover’s Leap up Yuba Gap. Always a silver lining.

    I’ve mentioned here previously that I subscribe to several lefty mailing lists. They have, in the last month, tended more toward, “Boo, them” rather than, “Yea, us.” This didn’t make me any less surprised when, just moments go, I received an email from Democrats.org with the subject, “Introducing the Stop Trump Fund‏”. The body text read, “Every little bit counts when it comes to stopping the Party of Trump — can we count on you to be part of our official Stop Trump Fund?” This was followed by their typical contribution format.
    They’re running scared, friends!

    Mr. Kesti @ 2:02 pm. True, but what they really really want is your money. All DNC Debbie and Hillary have to run on at the very core is “Without us, the Republicans are coming and they wipe their feet on the carpet, blow their noses on the drapery, hide your shoes ladies, and then pour nails on the porches to keep ya barefoot and pregnant.” That’s the whole Fighting for You Slogan is about, but she is rolling out a new slogan as we speak! Nothing a red reset button can’t fix.
    Hillary does two fundraisers for every public appearance she makes. Been that way since Iowa. More money will fix everything….except about a third of her baggage.
    Now, if I was a simple peasant keeping watch over the sheep, I’d be running scared as well.

    Hey Don, what happened to all those Dems you claimed have reregistered as Repubs? YubaNet reports that so many people have registered as Dems to vote for Bernie that they now outnumber Republicans in this county by 1,200 people. But don’t worry, the Dems have done everything in their power to push the Berners away, so I imagine those numbers will flip again on June 8th.

    Boy, this would be great. Two firebrands duking it out on stage, telling their respective Establishments to take a hike. Both campaigns are running things as they wish, not as they are told to do it. If DNC Debbie throws up a roadblock against a non-sanctioned Dem event, tough. Trump is making it into a “charitable event to raise money for women in need.” Nice. Hillary? I don’t see no stinkin’ Hillary.
    “But Mrs. Clinton and establishment Democrats and Republicans have been acutely tone deaf about the new and rising tolerance the voters have had for nastiness in this new social media dominated world. It goes with the territory.”

    Funny……your 600 lb doppleganger is constantly wringing his hands and taking to his fainting couch over the lack of millennials in your neck of the woods.
    And Walt, no real need to shop at places like the Patch unless its reasonably priced and the proprietors aren’t dickheads. If these two conditions aren’t met it’s just more proggie virtue signaling…..really little more than than the human version of dogs sniffing each others asses!
    Understood this way it makes much more sense why “jon” is into it.
