    Let me help our proggys out. I’m sure at some time Trump, before getting elected, put someone from the new LIB Gestapo on hold before taking the call, or put one on hold during an “official” call. In essence,, “obstructing justice”.
    That’s what it may have to come down to.

    Here’s one for Paul, who now seems sooooo concerned about deficits.

    Read this, Paul – and please get back to me about your new found interests.

    Watching Zuckerberg getting grilled in DC. I have no doubt that he has a high IQ.
    But – he has obviously never had any serious challenge to his beliefs or his ethics.
    Total deer in the headlights. When challenged on any specific case of anyone on the right being censored, he suddenly decides that his ‘people’ made a ‘mistake’.
    Yeah – cause you got your sorry ass called on the carpet and you have to answer questions right now without the ability to hide behind your ‘people’.

    Sometimes I think that Trump is a singular genius. Wins the office with 10% of the money, and is now nearly single handedly taking on the DNC’s Operation Gladio. Imagine how alone the guy must feel sometimes, but he keeps on keepin’ on. Even if he fails, the effort is one for the ages.———Scenes
    Alone is true. It’s what is required for the right tool for the right job at the right time. Then banishment……..
    “Perhaps we could not withstand the fire and smoke of a series of Trump presidencies, but given the direction of the country over the last 16 years, half the population, the proverbial townspeople of the western, wanted some outsider, even with a dubious past, to ride in and do things that most normal politicians not only would not but could not do — before exiting stage left or riding off into the sunset, to the relief of most and the regrets of a few.”

    Well at last some clarity on the criminal defense sharks and Jennings attacks on our local LE from Don Rodgers the union publisher –
    So many whispers, including a juicy false one about the FBI joining in. A yearlong internal investigation that cleared Mackey. A chief deputy prosecutor who quit over this. Revelations of sexual relations with an informant surfacing about the senior officer who disparaged Mackey and eventually quit and left town.
    Recommended Stories For You
    Lots of hot, loose talk about Mackey went awfully quiet when it came to testifying in court. Crickets. The deputy’s cases now under scrutiny are proceeding so far, with convictions in at least two after judges waved off the doubts raised about them.
    Lawyers, in their elevated lexicon, call the chirping outside court hearsay. Regular folks know it as plain gossip.
    The rumors seem to roost most directly with the detective who left the Sheriff’s Office, Mark Hollitz. The District Attorney’s Office dismissed 13 of Hollitz’s cases, including eight felonies, tainted by what prosecutors called an “undisclosed, inappropriate relationship” with the informant and using her to “set up” another informant who refused to work with him, along with improper destruction of Sheriff’s Office records about his informants. Seems the DA isn’t all that protective of sheriff’s officers, after all.
    Hollitz steadfastly declined to refute those claims throughout a 90-minute interview with one of our reporters. Again, crickets at the opportunity to defend himself, set things straight, if there were something to set straight.

    Why should we let the Nevada city criminal defense attorneys tell us who should be our primary advocate for crime victims?

    Trump doubles down on war against American farmers. Trump’s steel tariff is killing them, then China fights back with ag tariffs. Against virtually every economic advisor Trump shot from the hip with his tariff with predictable results. At least he doesn’t have the power to impulsively shoot some shiny missiles or push that big (BIG) red button . . . oh yeah, he does.

    Good find on Pelosi. I don’t like. She’s one of the reasons the Dems are in the situation they are in now.
    Pelosi quote
    “God never intended for any group of people to live in superfluous, inordinate wealth while others live in abject, deadening poverty.”
    What a hypocrite just like our President when he supports tax cuts for the wealthy and says it’s for he good of the working class.

    Besides Proposition 64’s excise tax on sales, the State of California is charging growers a cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce for flowers and $2.75 per ounce for leaves. California’s legal sellers and cultivators of recreational marijuana are also now required to pay the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a steep 35 percent federal income tax rate.

    I voted for Gary Johnson because I believe he a man of integrity, something I cannot say about Hillary or Trump. You are saying that the only important thing is to vote for a winner. that’s what got us Clinton twice, Bush twice, Obama Twice and now Trump. You have no integrity if that’s what you believe.

    Aww another massive disappointment for the po’ ol’ fakenewsman –
    Friday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Chris Wallace, the anchor of “Fox News Sunday,” described former FBI Director James Comey’s forthcoming book as “bitchy,” adding there weren’t any new bombshells in the book and instead a lot of “unpleasant” opinions.
    “[W]hat strikes me, is how little new there is in the book,” Wallace said. “We get a lot of opinions, unpleasant opinions of the president by James Comey. But in terms of hard facts, you know, people are talking about bombshells, there are none. Basically everything that he said in terms of the facts of what the president did, he already has testified before a congressional committee. And in fact at one point he says while he thinks the president’s behavior may have been unethical, it may not have been illegal.”
