[‘Socialism is good for you.’  Now we have Crazy Bernie and Pocahontas claiming that the USSR, China, Cuba, … weren’t really real socialist countries; that they were ruled by tyrants instead of the finely fashioned fettle of fearless führers that they would become.  Someone should ask them to name a single socialist country that didn’t quickly descend into the tyrannical cesspools that recent history has shown us over and over again.  But the Dems are betting, after having screwed up America’s education system sufficiently, that today none of our younger generation have a clue about the various flavors and evolutions of collectivism, and of the hundreds of millions of their own people that what started out as socialism wound up killing over the last 100 years.  gjr]

    You’re the one who needs to keep being dragged back to reality… Purple is a mix of red and blue. Nevada County is a mix of red and blue and even in the March State Senate election, it was 54% GOP and 46% DEM.
    Red, if this one election decides majority rules. I say purple. You dream of a Blue county.

    Ah the comic styling of the pony tail of ignorance @553 –
    A recent survey carried out by CNN revealed that the majority of Americans predict President Donald Trump will win a second term in 2020.
    The survey, conducted with SSRS, A random national sample of 1,006 adult respondents were surveyed for the poll between May 28 and 31 shows that 54 percent state their “best guess is that Trump will win the 2020 election,” while 41 percent believe he will be a one-term president. (41% that are still in denial)
    The respondents were contacted via telephone and polled by a live interviewer. The poll has a sampling margin error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points and is larger for subgroups.
    The stats show Americans are more confident about President Trump’s re-election chances than in December. Last year, 51 percent believed the president would be defeated in the next election.
    CNN further notes: “Americans are slightly more apt to say Trump will win now than they were to say Barack Obama would win a second term in May 2011, in a survey conducted just after the death of Osama bin Laden (50% thought Obama would win in that poll).”

    Speaking of Pelosi, I have to feel sorry for her. The members of her party as sooooo ignorant, she has to try to teach them what impeachment means. I am afraid it is uphill battle. Now, she has to school them on what “indict” means. She has not made it easier for herself. Now, she will have to explain to her flock what indictment means. She should stop using those big three syllable words.

    Lisa Page. Long link. If interested, scroll way down to Brennan’s Role and the next section about FISA and White House knowledge. The Maltese Professor, the Turk with curves that you never forget pressing against George the Greek, and others were CIA, not FBI, IMHO. Please come to London, George my boy. Got tired out you paying no nevermind to what the Maltese Professor said to ya. If at first you don’t succeed, try again.
    “Page noted that she remembered the letter sent by Reid, but seemed confused as to Brennan’s involvement and possible knowledge of the Steele dossier. Worth noting is that while some within the FBI likely had parts of the dossier in July, the counterintelligence investigative team didn’t receive it until mid-September during a trip to Rome, where they met personally with Steele.
    AThe representative, who was clearly aware of the disparity in timing, focused on precisely how Brennan might have been aware of the dossier in August:
    Unidentified Representative: “So what you’re saying is, is that you had no knowledge of these potential unverified memos prior to the middle part of September in your investigation?”
    Page: “That is correct, sir.”
    Rep.: “OK. So on Aug. 30, you and Peter are going back and forth, and you go, ‘Here we go.’ If you’ll look at 9:44:50 on August the 30th, you go, ‘Here we go.’ And it’s referencing [the New York Times report] ‘Harry Reid Cites Evidence of Russian Tampering in the U.S. Vote and Seeks FBI Inquiry.’ Now, what happens is, and what I guess gives me a little bit of concern is, if you drop down, that if you drop down to the same day, August 30th, 9:45, it says, ‘The D’—which I assume means director—’said at the a.m. brief that Reid had called him and told him that he would be sending the letter.’
    Page: “OK.”
    Rep.: “So you get a brief that says, well, we got the letter, but it’s almost like it’s a coordinated effort between Harry Reid and the FBI director, because obviously, he’s briefing you.”
    After a bit of back and forth, Page responded, “I don’t know what Harry Reid was told or why or what the purpose of Brennan [was.]”
    The representative pressed on:
    “Why would Director Brennan be aware of things that the FBI was not aware of at this particular point, when it actually would potentially involve, according to Peter Strzok’s word on January 10th of 2017, an unverified salacious set of memos?”
    And then the big reveal:
    Unidentified Representative: “We have documents that would suggest that in that briefing the dossier was mentioned to Harry Reid and then, obviously, we’re going to have to have conversations. Does that surprise you that Director Brennan would be aware [of the dossier]?”
    Page: “Yes, sir. Because with all due honesty, if Director Brennan—so we got that information from our source, right? The FBI got this information from our source. If the CIA had another source of that information, I am neither aware of that nor did the CIA provide it to us if they did, because the first time we—”
    Rep.: “We do know there are multiple sources.”
    Page: “I do know that. I do know that the information ultimately found its way lots of different places, certainly in October of 2016. But if the CIA as early as August, in fact, had those same reports, I am not aware of—I’m not aware of that and nor do I believe they provided them to us, and that would be unusual.”
    —————
    Page disclosed that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stu Evans was the person within the DOJ who was in charge of the entire FISA process, but notably, the FBI chose not to tell Evans that they had opened a counterintelligence investigation:
    “We were so concerned about the fact that we were opening this investigation and we were so concerned about leaks that we were literally individually making decisions about who to tell and who not to tell, because we were trying to keep it so closely held.”
    According to Page, the only DOJ official they told was Toscas, the deputy assistant attorney general in the National Security Division. Without forewarning to the FBI, Toscas informed Evans in August 2016—possibly earlier—of the FBI’s newly opened investigation.
    ———————-
    Notably, Toscas reported to Carlin, the head of the NSD, whose actions before the FISA court in relation to his presentation of the government’s proposed 2016 Section 702 certifications, strongly suggest he was also aware of the FBI’s investigation. Carlin appears to have been aware of the FBI’s later FISA preparations, as well.
    The congressional representative then asked the following question:
    “What you’re saying is when the director briefed the White House 2 days prior to that, on August the 8th, or prepared for it, actually briefed him on the 10th, that it had nothing to do with any campaign. Even though George Toscas and Stu Evans knew about it.”
    Normally, when a member of the FBI uses the word “director,” they would be referring to the FBI director. In this case, while not made absolutely clear in the transcript, it appears “director” refers to CIA Director John Brennan, who had been discussed in the preceding comments relating to Brennan’s briefing of Reid.
    From Brennan’s congressional testimony, we know that he had briefed the White House at some point in early August 2016, prior to Aug. 11:
    “In consultation with the White House, I personally briefed the full details of our understanding of Russian attempts to interfere in election to congressional leadership, specifically Senators Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein and Richard Burr; and to Representatives Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devon Nunes and Adam Schiff between 11 August and 6 September.”
    Page responded to the question: “Sir, I would be shocked. I would truly be stunned to discover that the director had briefed the president on the substance of our investigation or even the existence of our investigation. I would be—I can’t say it didn’t happen, I wasn’t there, but I would be stunned to discover that.”

    I assume by now you’ve discovered your error, Punch. A full 54% of votes cast in the primary in Nevada County went to GOP candidates, and I suspect the Democrat who got the largest single total, 40%, would not have fared well even in a County wide runoff with either of the top two GOP candidates. A plurality is not enough to win from a primary.
    Now, that doesn’t mean an active Democratic candidate that sounded less like a Baader-Meinhof Gang member would not have done better, just as a better candidate than Hilary Hodge would have knocked off Dan Miller in the supervisor race a year ago.
    Notice I didn’t ask if you were really that stupid. I didn’t have to. Nevada County remains purple.

    The article: Why did the Obama Administration ignore reports of Russian meddling?
    “The DOJ has “an increasingly robust program that is focusing on foreign influence in our election process, with the FBI obviously taking the lead,” Barr told Crawford. But not enough was done in 2016, Barr acknowledged.
    “Bob Mueller did some impressive work in his investigation, you know, identifying some of the Russian hackers and their influence campaign and you sort of wonder if that kind of work had been done starting in 2016, things could have been a lot different,” he said. Crawford replied, “It’s just hard to understand why it wasn’t taken more seriously.” Barr said…..
    “With people warned as early as April 2016, “I’m wondering what, exactly, was the response to it if they were alarmed. Surely the response should have been more than just, you know, dangling a confidential informant in front of a peripheral player in the Trump campaign,” the attorney general told Crawford before she moved to another topic.
    https://thefederalist.com/2019/06/04/obama-administration-ignore-reports-russian-election-meddling/
    ———-
    The article about the article:
    There is much more, but you get the drift. Knowing that the Russians were carrying out a clumsy effort to sow dissension in connection with the election, Barack Obama and his minions may have chosen not to try to stop the Russian interference, but rather to rather to set up or frame Donald Trump and his campaign for “colluding” with it.
    “I have thought there was no way the Russiagate scandal could get much worse, but now I suspect I was wrong. Another question occurs to me: reportedly, Hillary and her campaign advisers decided as early as the day after the election to blame her loss on Russian “meddling.” Did Hillary know that the Obama administration had laid the groundwork to set up the Trump campaign as complicit in the Russians’ dirty tricks? After all, she paid for the Steele dossier. It would have taken very little to clue her in to the fact that Obama administration minions, whom she probably knew well by virtue of her time as Secretary of State, had been spying on the Trump campaign with a view toward either trying to assure her victory, or disabling the incoming Trump administration in the unlikely event that he might win.“

    Todd, you are being quite charitable. 🙂
    I recently got a notification that someone replied to my Union comment….from 8/2018, roflmao. Ten months ago. Unbelievable. Oh they are a looney bunch alright. Told me I am the perfect example of someone living in a bubble, not the fakenews media. Russia, Russia, Russia. Yeah, rightttttt.
    Did you know, according to the Union ignorant commentators, that…
    -George the Greek will get 6 months to 5 years and the drunken young man’s words were proof positive of the Trump Campaign colluding (conspiring) with Putin and the Tower is more proof (as if we need more proof) and the WA Compost and NYT are doing an excellent job digging into the truth and blah, blah, blah. You know the drill.
    [For the record George the Greek got 11 days for saying the timeframe was the last week of March, 2016 instead of the first week of April, 2016….and George thought he was being absolutely truthful when he walked out of the FBI interview. Odd that George the Greek was never charged with collusion with the Russians or anything to do with Russia, lol. Neither did Carter Page. I erred on the side of caution and told those Hillary supporters on the Union that George would get 30 days, but I really thought he would get 2 weeks or less. A hill not worth defending] . Opps, just defended it.
    Being a Lefty means never admitting you are wrong.
    —————————-
    My favorite quote of late is this one: “As the Mueller Report details, the Trump campaign welcomed Russia’s help.” Nadler. Welcomed Russia’s help!!! They welcomed it!!!! It a fact. Righttttt.
    So, I have to wonder what all those experts and popinjays quoting the unhinged Enemy of the People and the Botox Drunk on the Union comment section think about these apples?
    “For example, the DNC claimed in their lawsuit that Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos told multiple people on the campaign what Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud had told him – “that the Russians had ‘thousands of emails’ that could harm Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.” In the end, the Mueller report stated that neither Papadopoulos, nor anyone who interacted with him on the campaign, could remember such information being shared. But here’s the kicker, from the Mueller report: “No documentary evidence, and nothing in the email accounts or other communications facilities reviewed by the Office, shows that Papadopoulos shared this information with the Campaign.” Yet the DNC claimed it had, or would have, such evidence of Papadopoulos’ interactions.”
    Or this:
    “In another example, the DNC lawsuit claimed the infamous Trump Tower meeting resulted in Trump campaign officials accepting help from the Russians (who were actually working with Democrat opposition research firm Fusion GPS). The lawsuit claimed that Russian government officials “used the meeting to tell members of the Trump Campaign about the documents it had stolen from the DNC, including trade secrets” and “members of the Campaign blessed a plan in which Russia would continue stealing similar documents and disseminate the documents it already had to the public.”
    “Again, the Mueller report found this to be untrue. The report found that the meeting lasted about 20 minutes and involved discussions of alleged “funds derived from illegal activities in Russia [that] were provided to Hillary Clinton and other Democrats,” and “a critique of the origins of” the Magnitsky Act, which “imposed financial and travel sanctions on Russian officials and that resulted in a retaliatory ban on adoptions of Russian children.” Further, the Mueller report didn’t find evidence the meeting ever included a discussion of Clinton’s hacked emails or stolen DNC documents.

    Todd, “looney” is one way of putting it. To be charitable, I will use the term “goofy”, not stupid. 🙂

    The former Green Libertarian ™ has abandoned that label and has gone full Blue (or Red, as AOC prefers to say).
    Paul NEEDS Nevada County to be Blue (ummm, meaning red) and will focus on the plurality winner (meaningless win) because he NEEDS to. There was one and only one active Democrat in the primary, and there were four GOP candidates, which split the GOP votes. Primaries take the place of the old smoke filled rooms where party leaders would select THE candidate for the ballot.
    Paul… Nevada County… the primary for the State Senate seat… 54% GOP, 46% DEM. Yes or no?

    Just listened to Trump at Omaha Beach. Brought tears to my eyes when he introduced the four vets and one sister of a fallen soldier. American makes men and women of such valor!
    Also, I listened to Reagan’s Normandy speech of 1964 and his one at the Brandenburg Gate in 1987. All on youtube. These kinds of speeches should be required in the education of the minds full of mush.
    Lastly. I am not understanding the logic or illogic of Paul Emery on the primary results. It shows we are a RED county. 54-46

    The way Paul keeps repeating himself,despite repeated attempts to reason with him, is a sure sign of dementia. (lived with the same problem when Dear Mother had it. GOD rest her soul.)
    No amount of facts or proof will sink in.
    Just time to pass Paul by, and ignore this rants.
