[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]

    Oh Bobby, you can think anything you want.
    “Not for long fishy! Perhaps if you righties didn’t rely on fake news (breitbart, daily caller, NY Post, etc) as your sources of information you might just realize that you are backing a mentally incompetent sociopath that is taking the country down the drain and possibly the planet with him.”
    Oh no, no the planet with him! Oh my, wherever can we hide?

    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.”

    A quick google shows me, “When speaking to law enforcement about MS-13 gang activity, President Trump said, “don’t be too nice” to suspects. The crowd cheered. ”
    Which of course becomes “When speaking to law enforcement about arresting poor people of color, beat the hell out of them President Drumpf growls. The audience looked on in stony silence”
    A few more rounds of whispering in ears playing ‘Telephone’ and you get “Tangerine Hitler sez bad thing”.
