Went to the movies with my brother last night. DUNKIRK! It was truly riveting. I have always been a WW2 history buff and of course, the evacuation of 328,000 troops, British and French, was a miracle. To this day no one really knows why the Germans stopped their push and allowed this. Many of the men fought another day. But to see the men fighting for survival against the fascists is truly something all people need to see and understand. Our fathers and mothers were truly the “greatest generation”.

Scenes, I concur. It don’t matter, won’t change a thing. They neither see what they are going to themselves, their own personal integrity, their industry, nor the damage they are doing to the country. The latter is the real tradegy. Unspeakable damage.
Did like the sidebar story of Murdock hiring Ailes to find a niche and come to find out that little niche was half the country. The media’s blind spots continue on to this very day. And ne’er the twain shall meet. Even the Democrat Party is realizing that Resistance ain’t a winning formula. Guess the media is the last to know, as evidenced by a nameless GL.
Back to the only news that makes the news: Russia, Russia, Russia! Squawk! Russia! Squawk squawk, sqawk.

Russia is dividing the Democrat Party! Squawk, squawk, squawk.
Love it when they eat their own. Pauly want a Lefty cracker? Squawk!
“When you lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity, you don’t blame other things—Comey, Russia—you blame yourself,” Schumer told The Washington Post. “So what did we do wrong? People didn’t know what we stood for, just that we were against Trump. And still believe that.” Schumer’s comments.

Ah heck, even moi is getting tired of this. Ok, one more kick to the dead mule just because. Kicking the dead jackass can’t help, it can’t hurt, and it definitely won’t change a thing. Can you say duplicity? Good, I knew you could…but won’t.
“Last year, after President-elect Trump picked Jeff Sessions to be attorney general, The New York Times editorial page called the Alabama senator “radical” and “extreme” and tarred him as an unrepentant racist and xenophobe.
Last week, after Trump criticized Sessions and others, the same editorial page suddenly discovered a new fondness for Sessions. The Times now insisted that Trump had impugned his “integrity” and that of others “who have spent their careers respecting and protecting” the law.
It’s not likely that Sessions is grateful for the embrace. He knows he’s just a pawn — dirt when Trump embraces him, and a saint when Trump criticizes him.”

Read some dribble by some Buttercups going ape denouncing Dunkirk a racist white privileged misogynistic movie that made white folk feel good about themselves by not hiring enough prominent people of color.

Sorry this is getting to you Gregory but the average Russian know that Trump is a Chump for Putin and that he’s no match. The Russians can pull the plug on Trump any time they want to because you’d better believe they’ve got an encyclopedia of information on him because he’s so sloppy and not at all slick like Obama. My opinion so don’t ask for proof. The proof is in the pudding which is being made as we speak. It will take just one Flynn or Manafort typwe to flop for a plea bargain to tip the balance and trigger “Dump the Trump”. Lots of fun to watch. Endlessly amusing!!!

“Investigators examining money laundering accusations against President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort hope to push him to cooperate with their probe into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia, two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said.”

Looks like you’re back into the “unskew” polls again. You were off by 12 in ’14 when you picked Pomney. Fact is the polls were right on in ‘6 showing Clinton by 3 with a plus or minus margin of 2. Clinton win the popular vote but of course lost the election because she lost the electoral vote. Polls are ruthlessly accurate especially the averages.

It’s not “getting to me” Paul, it’s just that you conjured a factoid or two from thin air and you continue to do so in your continuing saga of “Trump the Chump”. And I’m not letting it slide.
So, no actual person with a name who is from Russia said “Trump the Chump” is a favorite expression. That’s what I thought, Paul. You made it up to fit your own expectations.
Now you’re waiting for the inevitable turning of a Flynn or a Manafort for Trump to begin unraveling.

No Paul Emery you are simply reading things incorrectly. You are in LaLa land on the polls. Sure I was a partisan for Romney and I put my personal guess on the outcome. It was actually accurate (using your logic) up until the 47% issue was leaked. So, using Emery logic, I was right and the polls were all wrong at the end. If a poll like ABC, your pals of fake news, weight the polled 12% over one party, what makes you think they are correct? If it was weighted accurately it would be to the R’s who have the majority.
And since Trump outfoxed Hillary in the states she took for granted, no whining by you will change that. The facts are TRUMP is your President. What a hoot!

Opps. Me bad. The press is barred/banned from the picnic that Auntie Maxie is attending. That makes more sense now. The press always scarfs up all the food in the back when the audience’s attention and eyes are focused on the speaker up front. Yep, those media types cram their pockets with hor d’ oeuvres and everything they can stuff in their pie holes and trousers and purses. Greedy and hungry things they are. The picnic is for the attendees and with the all money shortages endemic to the current Democrat Party at all levels, it makes sense that they ban the liars, cheats, thieves, and moochers. Strike that. Oh my, what to do? How about this: It makes sense they ban the freeloading moochers from the press. Only so much food to go around. Plus, the press always leaves without picking up their trash. They toss their trash on the ground then go back and then write garbage. Disgraceful. Down right embarrassing to watch them steal all the airline peanuts as well, but I digress.
If they banned all the liars, cheats, thieves, slackers, and freeloaders, there would not be a single person at the NH Democrat company picnic, including the guest of honor.
