[Ah yes, the filibuster debates are again in season. Republicans are being admonished by the eternally innocent progressives about messing with the filibuster, as if that were a tradition brought down on the tablets and one that has remained unblemished since then. It would be utterly unconsciounable to bring up the recent history of who exercised the 'nuclear option' and under what conditions they pulled the trigger. In the meanwhile, we are on our way home and thank RR readers for keeping the sandboxes exercised and the comment candles burning. gjr]

More and more citizens are realizing Trump is an idiot.
The NYPD on Saturday responded to comments President Donald Trump made that seem to encourage officers to use force when arresting people.
In a statement, Police Commissioner James O’Neill said, “The NYPD’s training and policies relating to the use of force only allow for measures that are reasonable and necessary under any circumstances, including the arrest and transportation of prisoners. To suggest that police officers apply any standard in the use of force other than what is reasonable and necessary is irresponsible, unprofessional and sends the wrong message to law enforcement as well as the public.”
