[I and several readers have noticed that mud-slinging bouts in the sandbox occur in waves, but recently these have come at an increasing pace and with longer durations. The resulting comment streams are difficult to parse for those readers who don't give a crap about the kindergarten tit-for-tat antics; it just makes it harder for everyone to find the substantive comments that contribute to an interesting topic thread. In the past I've had some success stopping these episodes by just excising the offending comments. The problem is extra work for me because sometimes a comment starts out with a thoughtful/substantive proposition and then ends with a mudball, or vice versa. I will solve this problem by just eliminating the entire comment and let the writer determine the profit in reposting a more civil version of the removed. gjr]

Todd 10:49 — Of course the manufacturers association is happy.. trump is going to dismantle the environmental protection agency so the manufacturers will make even more money poisoning us and our children and grand children, not to mention the oceans and the rest of the living things. Whatever happened to the little guys trump was supposed to champion and who voted for him? They cut meals-on-wheels, tried to install a healthcare system that would have cost sick, old, and poor people even more while giving rich people a tax break, etc. etc. You just don’t seem to understand that trump is a billionaire and thinks and acts just like one. He has assembled the richest group ever in government. These people aren’t taking the huge pay cuts to be in government for nothing. They will profit heavily by the policies they are making. By doing away with the alternative minimum tax, trump will gain $35M or more a year and will pay for it by nicking the old, sick, and poor once again. What a great guy. You conservatives are such kindhearted people, sort of like Robin Hood in reverse. You know, rob from the poor and give it to the rich. Talk about deranged, and you support that.

Fox News is reporting that the individual who unmasked Trump associates is “very high up…in the intelligence world.”
[ These are the Robert Cross fellow travelers in government, determined to destroy the Trump presidency because they all believe in the progressive crap Robert wrote at 6:55 PM]
Intelligence and House sources with direct knowledge of the disclosure of classified names told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., now knows who is responsible — and that person is not in the FBI.
For a private citizen to be “unmasked,” or named, in an intelligence report is extremely rare. Typically, the American is a suspect in a crime, is in danger or has to be named to explain the context of the report.
“The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election,” a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News.
MORE:
“Unmasking is not unprecedented, but unmasking for political purposes … specifically of Trump transition team members … is highly suspect and questionable,” an intelligence source told Fox News. “Opposition by some in the intelligence agencies who were very connected to the Obama and Clinton teams was strong. After Trump was elected, they decided they were going to ruin his presidency by picking them off one by one.”
Now have you heard any of this in the mainstream press? No, because they also believe the crap that Robert Cross is peddling as reality.

Regarding the phony panic put on by the nation’s lamestream about Internet Privacy, the truth of the matter on the so-called new law is that nothing is changed regarding the ability of anyone to disseminate anyone else’s private data. A typical headline from our yellow journalists read “How the Republicans Sold Your Privacy to Internet Providers.” The local leftwing echo chamber dutifully recorder its sentiments in these comment streams.
