[Lots and lots to talk about as the Dems start their post-acquittal assault on President Trump.  Go for it, I have my usual $100 bet with my east coast pal, so I'm gonna watch the Super Bowl.  gjr]

    “Democracy is not a spectator sport — it requires the active participation of all its citizens,” the bill’s author, Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, said in a written statement. “California is a national leader on expanding voting rights to its citizens. Those rights come with a responsibility by registered voters to cast their ballot and make sure that their voice is heard by their government.”

    Yep…..when I think “democracy” I think that which isn’t forbidden must be compulsory!
    Where do they find these nitwits?

    Nancy Pelosi held her news conference this morning. She is mentally ill. The woman needs to step down and retire. Her babbling on about Trump reminded me of old girlfriends that were jilted and then consumed with hate for a long time. She looks to me like a candidate for rehab.

    I heard a right-wing conspiracist say Romney is mad at the Republicans because they voted for him. Another said Mitt has always been a business class liberal. Think Massachusetts and his plan that Obamacare was modeled after.
    I don’t need to bash Romney. Just a distraction from the task at hand. Just like Nancy spitting in the pudding to distract from awe inspiring optimistic speech Tuesday. That Trump is a great Executive Producer.
    Just savoring the moment one more time. Better than wasting time on Mitt and his Profiles in Courage.

    Winning!
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nine in 10 Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in their personal life, a new high in Gallup’s four-decade trend. The latest figure bests the previous high of 88% recorded in 2003.

    When the jobs report hits, it’s going to blow the lid so high that even the MSM won’t be able ignore it. A rather vicious ‘lay them out’ 1-2-3 combo by our President. Forecast 187,000 jobs for Dec,, it may come in at 345 or 360,000.
    I just don’t how much more of a beating the Dems can take. Monday was the Iowa Dumpster Fire kickoff to taking back the WH, Tues was SOTUS, Wed was Acquittal Day, and now the sky rocket display over the jobs report. Oh my. How much more can they take? They aren’t human!
    Is this one of the times we tell Trump we are getting tired of winning and can we take a break and he shouts back, “No! We are going to keep winning and winning and winning.”

    Someone get the pony tail of ignorance to a chair –
    A week of strong job approval polls for President Trump has ended with the one survey that sizes up his chances for reelection, and the odds are nearly 60% that he will win a second term.
    Betting aggregator Oddschecker.com put Trump’s chances at 59.99%, and the site shows that Trump has been soaring in the past few weeks, paralleling national job approval surveys including Gallup and the highly watched RealClearPolitics “Trump Job Approval” average.

    How about some Daily Quotes
    No kidding: “I wish Romney fought as hard for voters in 2012 as he does against the Trump administration.” —Dana Loesch
    Just saying: “I wasn’t sure if [Nancy Pelosi] was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution.” —Mike Pence
    Friendly fire: “A warning to Democrats — what [President Trump] was saying to African-Americans can be effective. You may not like it, but he mentioned HBCUs [historically black colleges and universities]. Our black colleges have been struggling for a long time — a bunch of them have gone under. He threw a lifeline to them, in real life, in his budget. He talked about that. He talked about the criminal justice reform. He talked about opportunity zones. He talked about school choice. … We got to wake up, folks. … We say, ‘Well, he said “s-hole nations,” therefore all black people gonna hate him forever.’ That ain’t necessarily so.“ —Van Jones
    A stopped clock is right twice a day: “Those were some really poignant moments. I don’t know if you saw them, but you should go online and look. The president in that speech [Tuesday night] celebrated what the country is about from one set of moments, our diversity, how we overcome, how we come together.” —CNN’s Chris Cuomo
    Snowflake: “Even the mention of Brett Kavanaugh for me is a trigger. Just as a woman in America, the fact that he, you know, rightfully was accused, and having an incredibly strong woman come before the public and the world and tell her story of sexual assault by this person that was appointed to the Supreme Court is just — I couldn’t stand still and not do anything about it, and I needed to walk away from that.” —Rep. Rashida Tlaib on why she stormed out of the SOTU
    Hot air: “In the year 2020, how can a president of the United States give a State of the Union speech and not mention climate change?” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
    No way to spin it: “I’m not going to sugarcoat it. We took a gut punch in Iowa. The whole process took a gut punch. But look, this isn’t the first time in my life I’ve been knocked down.” —Joe Biden on his fourth-place finish
    Spare us the dialogue: “As the president’s impeachment trial began, Republican senators pledged an oath to defend the Constitution. Today, 52 of them voted to betray that oath — and all of us. We’re entering dangerous territory for our democracy. It’ll take all of us working together to restore it.” —Hillary Clinton
    “Democrats think President Donald Trump committed a high crime or misdemeanor the moment he defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. That is the original sin of this presidency — that he won, and they lost.” —Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
    And last,,,,,”Go Moscow Mitch with that cat-ate-the-canary grin, you cocaine snorting man. Got the package, I see. It’s from the boys, wink wink, secret hand signal. Putin sends his love.”—Biggums.

    “Trump economy adds 225,000 jobs, exceeding expectations by almost 50%, which can only mean one thing: new impeachment articles.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor

    Friendly fire II: “We’re a party in chaos.” —Rep. Marcia Fudge
    Pot calling the kettle black: “[Trump] looked to me like he was a little bit sedated.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
    Braying jenny: “I tore up a manifesto of mistruths. … It was necessary to get the attention of the American people, to say this is not true. … And I don’t need any lessons from anybody, especially the president of the United States, about dignity.” —Nancy Pelosi
    Grand delusions I: “There’s a giant asterisk next to the president’s acquittal.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
    Grand delusions II: “He wasn’t acquitted. It was a rigged trial. You don’t get acquitted when you don’t even get to call witnesses or relevant witnesses or have the documents because the president stonewalled all efforts on the part of the House to get the information they requested. So there you go. It was a rigged trial. He can run around saying he was acquitted, but you don’t get acquitted in a rigged trial.” —Sen. Mazie Hirono
    Moral relativism: “Different people will interpret their own moral lights, and for that matter, interpret Scripture differently. But we live in a country where it is extremely important that no one person have to be subjected to some other person’s interpretation of their own religion.” —Pete Buttigieg
    Non compos mentis: “In many ways Donald Trump is a socialist himself. He’s a socialist who believes in massive help to large corporations and the rich.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
    The BIG Lie: “Today’s structures of sin include repeated tax cuts for the richest people, often justified in the name of investment and development.” —Pope Francis

They said it was the only thing they found that actually worked for their severe discomfort and I am all out and can’t get anymore. I called the distributor and they were backlogged. I called the manufacturer and they are running two months behind due to demand and can’t keep up with the orders despite adding a swing shift. I was hoping you had some for my tortured liberal friends who are in dire straights. Hate to see grown folks cry and carry on.

Kind of like arms for the Contras, but without paying for itself. Big money laundering?
    What went down in that embassy in Kiev??? Did notice that former Ambassador to the Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch retired from government service two days or so ago…about the time of the ‘acquitted forever.’

    re: BillT@11:02PM Not that I have a deep understanding of the situation, but it’s funny how underreported the real Ukraine story appears to be. It looks like a giant cascade of unintended consequences. As in any country, the US main stream media will parrot the party line. As we’ve seen, the party and the media appear to be two heads of the same Hydra.
    Obama appears to have been seduced by the CIA’s foreign policy (who can blame him? I’ll bet it’s a lot of fun sitting in a meeting room and pushing buttons), but messing around on the borders of the ex-Soviet Union in so many ways is fraught with bad possibilities. The side effects, besides simply tearing apart countries in a modern Great Game, can range from obvious (annexation of Crimea directly after the US-backed overthrow of Yanukovych) to thousand of smaller unknown events.
    The folks that run matters have always had their own Dunning-Kruger of diplomacy and war. Things don’t always turn out like ya planned.

    Keep an eye on Chuck Grassley. Friday he was presented with a bunch of documents from non-government sources, unrelated to his request for documents.
    Timing is everything! Not what I was referring to…..but rather hot off the press.

    In other news, Queen Nan and Mitt Romney have something in common. Both have sons who enriched themselves in Ukraine.

    re: Mitt Romney, part of a meme I saw today:
    This is Mitt
    2012 Begged for Trump’s support
    2016 Tried to screw Trump over
    2018 Begged for Trump’s support
    2020 Tried to screw Trump over
    He is something of a piece of work.
