   So “M”oron says Trump is a dictator? (still trying to sell that line I see.)
   Do point out just what he’s done to earn that title.
   Dictators usually impose laws to stifle the masses,(Kinda like “O” did) not remove them.(Like Trump has.) Dictators don’t allow guns in the possession of one’s subjects. (Hummm.. There is “O” again)

    “Anyone else hunkering down?”
    I’m always hunkered, but I don’t think that I would buy any stock at this point (aside from automatic purchases in mutual fund proceeds).
    I’ve been surprised by the behavior of bonds over time, but decided I didn’t know anything. There’s just too much money sloshing around for logic to be applied I think.
    Just how long can house prices, company shares, the cost of tuition, medical expenses, etc. rise over time? Longer than you might think it seems.

    Interesting. That nut will get cracked over time and electric cars will increasingly dominate. There are just too many advantages.
    What I wish I saw more on was the other side of the problem. I can see having a car that can be recharged in a New York minute, but what kind of fueling station capacity and grid capacity to same does that imply? That’s an awful lot of energy to pump over a wire and a lot of cars can show up in a given amount of time.

    Former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page has been pursued by Christopher Steele and his dossier, the FBI, Democrats and Russia collusion-minded media.
    He has proclaimed his innocence throughout the two-year inquisition.
    Last week, he learned he had another adversary, this one hidden.
    A federal indictment showed that James A. Wolfe, director of security for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was leaking secret anti-Page information to the press. His favorite recipient was reporter Ali Watkins, who quickly rose through the Washington journalism thicket from college intern to New York Times reporter at age 26.
    The indictment against Mr. Wolfe, 57, said he had a romantic relationship with Ms. Watkins from December 2013, when she was an intern, to December 2017. Two plot twists that month: She won a job at The New York Times, and the FBI confronted Mr. Wolfe. The indictment charges him with three counts of lying when he denied leaking to reporters.

    Sometimes, it’s best just to let them speak for themselves.
    Thompson went on to suggest that Trump was just engaging in the high-stakes foreign policy mission because he was “weakened”: “Lastly, there’s also a history of world leaders who themselves in trouble, meeting with weakened U.S. presidents. Brezhnev kissed Nixon, China met with Nixon. And so, this is just history repeating itself.”
    Ruhle marveled in response: “You are such the historian. Every time you come, I’m more impressed.”
    Ruhle then worried: “But will it be a winning news cycle for the president?” Sherman and Jordan promptly agreed that it would be, while Thompson sounded the alarm: “If those of us in journalism allow it to be. We need to absolutely scrutinize it in the same way every Democratic president was scrutinized going to North Korea. Can’t be this double standard.”
    Sherman joined in the complaining about Democrats suffering from a media “double standard”:

    “Yet one of “O”s minions came out from under a rock”
    I expect that it wasn’t a rock so much as a planned foray. I’m not much of one for conspiracy theories, but the top level of the ‘Resistance’ is a fairly obvious cadre.
    (as a side note, I really admire ‘Resistance’ as a word. It’s like using ‘denier’ for global warming cynics. ‘Denier’ implies holocaust denial, and ‘resistance’ has the notion of the French Resistance built in. After all, anyone you disagree with is a Nazi).
    My only opinion on NK and Kim Jong-un is that the latter absolutely has to have an exit plan/golden parachute that works, no matter what the deal is. Living in a place like that is dangerous, but running it is riding the tiger.

    The fakenews business aint what used to be in the age of Trump where the public is optimistic and supporting the policies.
    In an embarrassing setback for CNN, the network’s heavily promoted new 9 p.m. show, “Cuomo Prime Time,” finished well behind arch-rival MSNBC during its inaugural week. Observers say it’s the latest sign that CNN’s anti-Trump programming strategy may be faltering.
    Most troubling for CNN executives — “Cuomo Prime Time” finished its first week with viewership down 9 percent compared to CNN’s 9 p.m. programing the same week last year. In addition, Friday’s episode lost 23 percent of the viewers who tuned in for last Monday’s much-heralded premiere.

    @4:00, Stalking Scenes or maybe not.
    I, too. have always liked the word ‘Resistance’ from the get-go. Its like being Pierre in the French underground when the Germans occupied Paris, the magical city of love and romance or running around with tattered fingerless gloves fighting the alien machines in the ruins of our cities. A just cause. But, the Resistance grabbed that rallying cry banner before we did. You snooze, you lose.
    There is an interesting concept that I have been kicking around in my head since reading one line in a long piece awhile back. The Resistance? They are the Revolution, see themselves as the Revolution, the agent for chance since Gov. Reagen told them that soap was not a four letter word, try it sometime. Or was that Nixon? Anyway, ever since that era here post WW2. There’s new generation with a new explanation.
    Here is the line: The Revolution does not know how to handle a counter-Revolution.
    I am seeing that played out on a daily basis. Scenes is right. The Resistance has radicalized the Right. We are the counter-Revolution and, try as they may, they just can’t handle it and know not what to do. At least they are quite articulate. Resist above everything! The cause is just.
