    Ahhhh fresh kitty litter to scratch around in! Al Gore just cant catch a break, the sequel to his fairy tale global warming movie is a box office disaster. It has only generated 2 mil. at the box office. Could it be that people remember how WRONG he was? 😉

    Interesting question posed by Crabbman in the 10aug17 Sandbox.
    Were the Confedrates traitors?
    Were the Confederate soldiers, their politicians, civil leaders, military leaders, and their spouses traitors? In so, then can we declared those who push for CA to secede from the Union traitors as well? Are Calexit sympathizes aiding and abetting the enemy?
    I am certain that the “freedom fighters” we back across the four corners of the globe are viewed as traitors by the governments they are trying to overthrow. And if they are traitors, can we really trust traitors? Traitors are a shifty unloyal lot.
    One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

    Just read an article in the Sunday SacBee today. It was how the biggest threat to Guam is not nukes from North Korea but, you guessed it, climate change. The article is the standard propaganda piece which has no science but lots of weasel words. Words like “may”, “possibly and could.” No facts. And of course, they talk to those brainiacs from Guam University Climate Change Department for backup. Honest to goodness it is so stupid I spit my coffee across the room. And these brainiac academics said the coral reefs “might be affected” and therefore the tourists might not come to spend their money. Now tell me how those tourists get to Guam. Oh, airlines and ships! All spewing the hated CO2 and powered by GASP, oil! You cannot make up the insanity spewing from the mouths of these leftwingnut eco warriors.
    But don’t worry Guamians. If you are nuked and vaporized by Kim Jong Un, your fellow eco warriors will toss a wreath to your island in 2,000 years as the radioactivity diminishes. Good luck!

    Today at the fair I had parents coming to our R booth complaining about a DEM fair booth worker who was wearing a “Fuck Trump” button. One dad was livid, he had tween aged daughters and he could not believe they would actually do that at the Nevada County Fair. I recommend they complain to the Fair management and email the DEM County chair. Classy Dems, very classy. 😉

    DonB, we had a great time on the 7-10 last night. We had a bunch of young men and boys who were total Trumpsters. And they even chanted TRUMP< TRUMP as the ten or so of them marched past the democrat’s booth. Many people stopped and took pics with the Trump cut out. It was so fun. Anyway, the democrats are nasty mean spirited and liars. Just look and read Emery here for a good example. Americans last night were all about giving the Trumpster a chance and were sick of the libs and dems. Good for us.

    It was a wonderful Republican fair booth, I worked, no it was great fun not work really. I was there every day and the number of energized young people was awe inspiring! People loved to take the Trump pics too, a steady stream all day at every shift. Registrations were good and the gas tax will be toast at the ballot based on the number of people looking for the petitions. The juxtaposition of the scowling hateful lefties and our family friendly center of positive attitudes was stark. 😉

    Paul Sez: “Thanks Fish for the reassurance that the Nazi’s were mere “pikers” compared to “progressive forbearers” when it comes to genocide. Unbelievable thing to say but here it is.”
    In terms of numbers, I’d say that class-based political systems (ie. socialists) have easily outdone the nationalist-based ones (ie. flavors of fascists). The Holodomor is just a single example. Heck, Stalin even had his own anti-Jewish program dreamt up.
    Of course, there’s always the Red Chinese.

Specifically that “DT will not” from Manifort, others in the campaign all agreed with an array of reason why not. Awwww po’ po’ pitiful he that has Russian dressing all over his face again. This on top of the solid confirmation that there was never any hack and the data flow showed it was a flash drive download, you know, an insider.

    Because mid term elections are just around the corner and historically the party in power looses especially when polls are in the dumps. Ask Clinton, Bush and Obama. If Trump does not pick up you can see dwindling support from the Repub house and Senate as they distance themselves from him.

    Remind me again what the polls said of Trump’s chance of putting his lily white bum bum comfortably behind the big desk in the Oval Office. NYT, 5/38, Wa Compost, Huff-n-Puff Post, and a bunch of other Posts.Highest I saw on election eve was a 1 in 3 chance. Opps, I be wrong. It was 3 in ten. Mea Culpa. NYT through the MSM Networks to the lowly blog called the Huff-nPuff post gave Hillary’s chances at 81,85,90, to 93%. Keep posting links from the Wa Post,of Huff-Puff Post, please. Pretty please.

    The polls were totally accurate in the last election showing Hillary with a 2% edge in the popular vote which was on the money. Such a dramatic decline is unprecedented (Trumps numbers) so early in a Presidency so what it means is anybody’s guess. Gonna be fun to watch.

    Things are falling apart around Trumpworld
    From conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer
    “To critique what [Trump] did today on the grounds that it distracts from the agenda, or it was a tactical mistake, I believe is a cop out,” Krauthammer said. “What Trump did today was a moral disgrace. What he did is he reverted back to where he was on Saturday and made it very clear that what he read on [Monday] was a hostage tape.”
    “The reason it’s a moral disgrace is this: this generation for the last 50 or 60 years understood there was something unique about the history of slavery and racism in this country,” he continued. “That we had to cure this original sin. Because it was followed by 100 years of state-sponsored oppression.”
    “What Trump is missing here is the uniqueness of white supremacy, KKK and Nazism,” Krauthammer explained. “This was instigated, instituted, the ride began over a Nazi riot. A Nazi rally. And the only killing here occurred by one of the pro-Nazi, pro-KKK people.”
