[Anybody know what the Dems are celebrating in Chicago?  In that latrine excavated city, the liberals have been in charge forever, and all their numbers are already in the mud.  As arguably the nation's most corrupt and criminalized city, they have a history of electing bad guys and double dummies into public office; what do they expect this new batch to accomplish besides more of the same?  gjr]

    Ooooze at 6:15 – “…before the probable Trump’s indictment on tax evasion, fraud, money laundering, and all that good stuff.”
    Is this another admonition to get our popcorn roasting?
    Trying to remember where I’ve heard this sort of talk before.
    The IRS has his returns, idiots.
    The IRS has proven itself to be a willing left wing tool.
    Would the IRS be mum about Trump’s returns because they are soooo askeered?
    They already have the power to haul his ass (or his tax attorneys) into an office any time they like.
    And they haven’t.

    “Why not let them stay forever? Vote in your elections? But remain Guatemalan and Hondurans … Why don’t you let them do that?” Carlson said to Juan Hernandez, secretary of migrant and foreign affairs for the Mexican state of Guanajuato.
    “And they can account for a third of your population? Why would that be bad? Why are you kicking them out after a year?” Carlson continued on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
    Hernandez paused before adding, “Mexico today has now deported more people to Central America than the U.S. has.”
    The immigration crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border continues to be a top political topic as President Trump threatens to shut down “large sections” of the border and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen compares the crisis to a “Cat 5″ hurricane.
    Carlson earlier told Hernandez the Mexican government was “clearly hostile to American interests,” and asked the Mexican official about comments he made in the past, including saying that the “Mexican population is 100 million in Mexico and 23 million who live in the United States … We are a united nation.”

    A bedtime snack for the pony tail of ignorance et al, another reason the historic hold of the Senate matters in a strategic sense! –
    By a hater judge out of the southern district of NY appointed by slick willy
    To date, Trump has appointed nearly 22% of the appellate judges with more surely to come. Only six of the 13 circuits have a majority of Democratic appointees and that number will decrease in the remaining months of his presidency.
    These appointments are well on their way to reshaping the federal judiciary. Because so few cases are heard by the supreme court – between 80 and 90 per year – the circuit courts are often the final word on issues raised in federal court. A number of the circuit courts of appeals now have a majority of judges appointed by Republican presidents. For example, Trump has appointed 37.5% of judges in the sixth circuit (six of 16); 35% of judges in the seventh circuit (four of 11) and the same in the eighth circuit (four of 11); nearly 30% of the judges in the fifth circuit (five of 17) and 27% of judges on the eleventh circuit (three of 11). The addition of three Trump judges to the third circuit, has added that circuit to the list of circuits dominated by Republican appointees.
    What the leftinistas really need to worry about is that the WI Supreme Court and the other things tell us the people who care about our actual rights are really engaged.

    OH wait, I forgot the sauce on the desert, how boorish of me –
    By Amanda Becker and Richard Cowan
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican-led U.S. Senate on Wednesday changed its procedures to speed up the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees for some lower court judgeships and sub-Cabinet level positions.
    The move to shorten debate on such nominees from 30 hours to two hours was resisted by Democrats but they could not block it because Republicans hold 53 seats in the 100-seat chamber.
    Senator Mitch McConnell used his powers as majority leader to make the change, which will set a precedent that will apply to district court judges, the lowest rung of the judiciary, but not vacancies in the Supreme Court and federal appeals courts.

    Yeah – the IRS actually has to find something wrong. The Dems in the House have shown they can fabricate ‘crimes’ out of thin air. Until the House can show they have evidence of a crime, they have no business rummaging through anyone’s tax records.

    Lindsey Graham on Biden accusations
    Graham said, “I think he’s one of the most decent people I’ve ever met. I think — I don’t believe for a second that he meant to do anything wrong, and I can understand why people took it differently than he meant, and this may be a lesson for all of us. But, from my point of view, Joe has been the same, kind — he’s Joe.”
    He added, “Joe Biden is my friend. I know him very well. I think whatever he did, it may have been inappropriate, but it was not driven by malice or misconduct.”

    Buzzfeed spent 4 million dollars of their own money trying (without success) to verify the Dossier they published. If they had taken a deep breath, stood back, and asked me, I could have told them it was a Clinton Campaign funded Hoax and saved them the time, effort, and money. And to think they started with 200 million in seed money from the usual hate mongers.
    Wonder how many fakenews outlets will not fully recover. They may survive, but like watching Dan Rather, Brian Williams, Amy Goodman, or Rachel Madhouse, there will be a nagging question in the back of people’s minds if what the talking heads are saying can be trusted again. Same for the messed up NYT, Wa Compost, Huff-n-Puff Farting Post, and some regular panel commentators. It’s like, “Here we go again.” Yesterday’s NYT anonymously sourced smoking gun article about statements by the Mueller team is a timely example. Here we go again. More akin to Reality TV than to credible news programs. Can’t wait for the season finale.
    But enough of the discredited and disqualified Popinjays. They will never change. It’s all about ratings, never about the truth in the Buzzfeeed day and age. Can’t do a thing about them. They can only point back to 45 years or so ago to when a government official spoon fed to two young Wa Po reporters the whole story and the young reporters took all the credit, ROFLMAO. Oh my.
    Final thought of Buzzzzfeed and false news. Would it not be something if the Dosssier was full of propaganda fed to Steele from Russian disinformation operatives? An old intel analyst like Putin could have wrote the script for Steele. 🙂

    More bad news for Trump from his old pal:
    On Thursday, CNN reported that President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen claims to have more unreviewed documents potentially of use to federal investigators, and wants to offer additional cooperation.
    “Mr. Cohen was only recently able to access a hard drive with important documents,” wrote Cohen’s attorneys in a letter obtained by CNN. “Said drive contains over 14 million files, which consist of all e-mails, voice recordings, images, and attachments from Mr. Cohen’s computers and phones. To date, Mr. Cohen has located several documents that we believe have significant value to the various congressional oversight and investigation committees.”

    The money machine is on the march –
    The $1 billion ask: Trump all-in on fundraising for 2020
    As Trump brings in millions, his would-be opponents are scrambling to raise enough money to earn themselves a spot on the primary debate stages. And the Democratic National Committee remains in debt from previous campaigns.
    “Whoever the Democratic nominee is, they’ll be depleted, and they’ll have to start from zero — well under zero, the DNC has a debt,” said Michael Glassner, the Trump campaign’s chief operating officer. He called Trump’s decision to keep the campaign in operation during his first two years in office the “new model” for future presidents.
    Through the end of 2018, the last date for which figures are publicly available, the Trump campaign had brought in more than $129 million. President Barack Obama, by comparison, didn’t even begin his 2012 re-election campaign until 2011. The Trump camp is scheduled to release its first quarter fundraising results later this month, so far only teasing that the campaign’s cash on hand this period will be “far beyond” the more than $19 million in the bank it reported at the end of 2018. The RNC, for its part, is promising to report a first quarter record for a nonpresidential year.
