re PaulE 340pm – The question has a logical glitch. Literally everyone here and across the Atlantic believed that Saddam had WMDs before the invasion – you had to be an idiot not to believe it since he used Sarin on his own people more than once. At that time Bush2 and Rumsfeld and Rebane and a few million others believed it. Bush2 and Rumsfeld had to accede and say that they never found Saddam’s WMD’s (truck convoys to Syria?); they never said Saddam had never had WMDs. So trying to dun Walt for believing it back then puts him (and me) in very good company.
What do you think Saddam did with all his Sarin after he heard we were going to kick his ass and look in all the holes? Do you think that he just conveniently used the last of his Sarin on his own people, and was out of it when we showed up to search? Do you think the Easter Bunny will be a little late next spring?

Teamsters and trade union bailout. Multiemployer pensions are another name for it. So is the Brothernhood of International Workers and Affiliated Mafia.
“The retirement programs are called “multiemployer” pensions, as workers from multiple companies pay into the same retirement benefit program. But many of these pensions lack the financial assets to cover the benefits they have promised retired workers, leading to a panic from retirees who were counting on the funds. These pensions have often been plagued by mismangement, inaccurate economic projections, and in some cases corporate bankruptcies.”
Bail the workers out first, then the state government chair warming slackers.

The Republicans have lost 55 House seats since their peak of 247 in 2015. That means the Dems will almost surely control the House for at least the next two elections. As of today the Dems have picked up 39 seats in this election. Blue wave indeed. Far exceeds any estimate. No party with an incumbent President has ever picked up that many seats in one election Since Harry Truman in 1948.

Rep. Mia Love loses to Democrat in Utah
“A rising Republican star, Love was the first black female Republican ever elected to Congress. She was often viewed a figure who could signal the future of a more diverse GOP, and she was the sole GOP member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
But like many Republicans, Love faced an upcurrent of dissent over President Donald Trump that she was able to overcome in 2016 but was unable to defy two years later. For its largely Republican makeup, Utahans have always been uneasy about Trump and Love’s district was the GOP’s weakest point.”

Paul Emery wisely quotes:
“For its largely Republican makeup, Utahans have always been uneasy about Trump and Love’s district was the GOP’s weakest point.”
While I read elsewhere:
“Love was among House Republicans targeted in the hours after the midterms by Trump, who suggested their defeats were at least in part because of their refusal to embrace his presidency.”
“She frequently criticizes Mr. Trump’s rhetoric on immigration.”
“Mia Love: I can’t vote for Trump”
There are two lessons here.
1) Anti-Trump Republicans are screwed. They need to get on The Train.
2) Paul will say any old thing, context be damned. Journalism be damned.
So Paul, what about this Vagina Monologues thing? Is it insulting to fake women to do that? Would you host it at the Foundry? TIA.

Sorry you are having a hard time following my narrative.
