[A little more than a week until the big spectacular at the nations capitol.  Given all the ongoing fireworks surrounding Trump and the floundering Democrats, I suppose we can continue staying involved in this 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Yawn'.  gjr]

    The PE cut and paste left wing propaganda machine is clanking and creaking along. Too bad comrade Bernie said it was just words and they have to work with President Trump. Exciting football, bet the ratings are much better now that there are no kneelers. 😉

    Paul, why did you think any of your cut and pasting was of interest? Just reruns of the past, you gave a link to a flawed opinion piece, copied, pasted, and added nothing to it.
    The people have spoken, Hillary was worse, Trump won.

    Paul 10:38
    Let me post a rerun of my own:

    Luke: Ben! Why didn’t you tell me? You told me that Darth Vader betrayed and murdered my father.
    Obi-Wan: Your father… was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and “became” Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true… from a certain point of view.
    Luke: A certain point of view?
    Obi-Wan: Luke, you’re going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

    Paul, much, if not most, what I hear from the hyperventilating journalist class* about Trump’s “lies” are issues that can be papered over with differing points of view and good old fashioned sloppiness. Gingrich will take twice as many words to say what Trump does and the Newt gets it right, but he doesn’t win the big elections. Trump did.
    *for the moment, let’s put you in that class.

    Shouldn not have PE’s copy and paste posts been posted here before the voting instead of after? The cows have left the barn. Oh Paul, if I only knew now things would have been different. Alas. But, since I am just finding this shocking stuff out now, it affords me yet another chance to say go pound sand.
    Oh Paul, why are you such a hater? Love is the answer, my tormented lost friend. Come to the light. Let love for all be your guide. Open your hard bitter heart and let love melt away the bitterness. Embrace the love, reject the hate! We love our little adopted retarded step-child. Yes, we love you, Paul!

    Paul; Emery i just foaming at the mouth and really funny now. Trump will be in charge and Paul Emery will have to read his “type” every day in the news for at least four years. Keep a lot of hankies close Paul.
    And “fake news” is perpetrated on the people by you and your ilk as “journalists. Trump is not one.

    Rush is spanking Kohn Lewis right now. You would think Lewis could provide a list of accomplishments from his fifty years of a government check.

    Walt. Agreed. I loved it when Bob said he called a precinct captain on Election Day and the first thing out of local guy’s mouth was “how many do you need”. Not what’s up, not why are you calling, no even hello, Bob. Just “how many votes do you need?” 10,000, 30,000? No problem.
    I really wished Bob was around on Gutfield when Trump was talking about the election is rigged that had the Dems’ heads exploding before the election. Oh Bob could tell you a bunch of stories about rigging the votes, about politicians who actually grabbed the short curlies, and other stories of car wrecks and near head on collisions out there on the campaign trail. That kind of candor and honestly is what is really missing in today’s world of snob elitists punditry. A little bit of antidotal stories never hurts to put things in proper perspective.
    Once Bob was introduced as a political campaign expert. He ran Mondale’s campaign or was it McGovern’s? Anyway, he took the mike and said “I don’t know why you call me an expert. I lost 49 states and if you think that is a campaign expert…….”. 🙂
    That is why I like the Swamp Thing….the Ragin’ Cajun…James Carville. If you get past the his style and hyper-partisanship, he is really open and candid and, like Bob, will throw some good pearls from the rubber meets the road experience out there. If fact, Donna Brazile used to be that way until she got too close to Hillary. Anyone who gets too close to My Gal gets corrupted. Sad.
    Hey, Happy Monday Walt!

    Administrivia – am still trying to get commenters to post their topic-relevant comments under the appropriate topic. The sandbox is for stuff for which I don’t have a current post. For example, commenting about the record and reputation of John Lewis should go under ‘Exactly how did the Russkies do it?’ which expands on the gentleman.

    See the local rag? More home invasions in the county. One that I know of in Yuba Co. that didn’t make the paper.(glad it wasn’t Bill’s place.)
    The sooner I hear about a homeowner sending one or two to a dirt nap the better I will like it.

    Fair enough, Dr. Rebane. Blame Paul and problem solved. 🙂
    Sandbox topic: what is a conservative in today’s Trumpism World? Boy, a true Constitutionist like Mark Levine is screaming about Wilbur Ross being in the cabinet. Others are screaming about Trump strong arming a private sector enterprise like Carrier. Where in the Constitution is that power given to government!! Boy, nobody is 100% pleased, but all agree anything is better than Hillary. Guess the bottomline is Scotus, scotus, scotus.
    The prespective provided in the link below is not nearly as good as the comment section. Welcome to the world of pragmatism, all you ideologically left, right, and tweeners.
    “But when Wilson was elected, and started leading us to war, The New Republic was all over the map because of disagreements among the editors. Eventually, their old ideological hero Teddy Roosevelt charged into the offices of The New Republic like a Bull Moose to chew them out for their disloyalty. Realizing he couldn’t set them straight, TR shouted that the magazine was “a negligible sheet, run by two anemic Gentiles and two uncircumcised Jews.”

    Did The Union just open itself up for trouble? take a look at how this is printed.
    “The suspects had parked their vehicle about 20 feet behind the victim’s vehicles in the driveway and fired their weapons as they backed out the same way they came in.
    It is unclear, though, if the two incidents are related.
    The suspects are considered armed and dangerous and if seen, stop, use extreme caution and notify the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office at 530-265-1471.
    Nevada County Sheriff’s officials wished not to comment on the matter as of press time yet confirmed that the suspects are still at large. ”
    The Union messed up big. You don’t say this to the general public.”and if seen, stop, use extreme caution”

    Regarding James “Snakehead” Carville, the definitive observation was from Congresscritter Dick Armey who noted, “He’s not as nice as he looks”.

    Oh my. All the more reason to be nice to our local friends on the Left. Some are not only in danger after being blindsided by the Deplorables, a few in the blogosphere are afflicted with the double whammy. I am concerned.
