[Well, my proposal in the 12feb20 Scattershots for a new Dem candidate reader participation contest heading into the convention went over like a fart in church.  It would have been fun to see how the perceived fortunes of Super-Tuesday's survivors changed over the next few months.  Oh well, … sigh.  gjr]

    George: I suppose you believe all of the indictments and convictions and plea bargains are all based on lies and distortions.. evidence aside. all of the grand juries and judges are biased.. because ‘he who would be king’ said so. Former deputy AG under George Bush II, Donald Ayer, had this to say about AG Barr, whom he has known for over 40 years:
    “For whatever twisted reasons, he believes that the president should be above the law, and he has as his foil in pursuit of that goal a president who, uniquely in our history, actually aspires to that status….It is a banana republic where all are subject to the whims of a dictatorial president and his henchmen.”
    And all of this is baloney because why? Because you voted for a sick puppy who pulled your psychological strings and refuse to acknowledge your error in judgement, so you all just dig in with the ‘fake news’ ‘witch hunt’ ‘deep state’ bullcrap. In other words, you too think trump is above the law..but not ‘ crooked Hillary or Comey or McCabe or Obama or anyone who dares to criticize trump.
    I suggest you see a documentary called “The Great Hack” on Netflix about Cambridge Analytica and their brainwashing of voters in key precincts in key states that delivered electoral votes to trump. It only took a few thousand votes across four states to pull it off. It is oblivious that much of the Cambridge propaganda drives this blog’s political content and posts.

    Cross 117am – You continue to demonstrate your poor reading skills. Where has anyone in these comment streams brushed “evidence aside” to make a case or hold on to some belief? You and yours consider ‘evidence’ to be allegations, such the one you quote about AG Barr believing that the president is above the law. Nowhere has Barr made such a statement or evinced it through his actions, yet to you and yours anyone who loudly comports with your ideological narrative automatically is cited as ‘evidence’. In spite of your hard work to the contrary, allegations have not yet become evidence anywhere else besides the lamestream media and the Democratic House. Lord help us if you guys are successful in getting our courts to accept allegations as evidence.

    No doubt our local Blue Mob wasn’t caterwauling about the Logan Act a few years back, but that’s not the point. In that article she quotes:
    “In 2017, Murphy demanded an investigation into then-National Security Adviser Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with a counterpart in Russia. “Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously,” Murphy said.”
    Googling up that quote I found:
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/official-flynn-discussed-sanctions-russians-taking-office-n719271
    Which of course has the same problem of “it’s OK if we do it, bad if they do it” but a quote from that article:
    “That General Flynn may have misled the vice president of the United States and others raises the most serious questions about his ability to continue serving as national security advisor,” said Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member. “I hope federal law enforcement professionals investigate this matter immediately. Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – even during a transition period — may be illegal and must be taken seriously.”
    Markey and Murphy are different people so far as I can tell, perhaps they just sound alike. (internet wayback machine shows no changes since original article)

It feels like they’re covering progressives from an elitist perspective.”
    Shakir told Vanity Fair that Fox News has been “more fair than MSNBC.”
    “That’s saying something,” he elaborated. “Fox is often yelling about Bernie Sanders’s socialism, but they’re still giving our campaign the opportunity to make our case in a fair manner, unlike MSNBC, which has credibility with the left and is constantly undermining the Bernie Sanders campaign.”

    Daily Quotes…so-so today.
    Insight: “Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.” —Aesop (c. 620–564 BC)
    Braying jenny: “You can’t have an acquittal unless you have a trial, and you can’t have a trial unless you have witnesses and documents — so he can say he’s acquitted, and the headlines can say ‘acquitted,’ but he’s impeached forever: branded with that, and not vindicated.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
    The BIG Lie: “Eleven years ago … near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.” —Barack Obama
    Political futures: “I would be honored to run for vice president with the nominee. … Of course I want to serve America. Of course I want to be a patriot and do this work, and so I’d say yes.” —failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams
    Tone deaf: “[The Roger Stone issue] has been … the greatest abuse of power I have ever seen at the hands of this president who has no sense of decency or understanding of the Constitution, and [Attorney General William] Barr facilitating it is beyond my comprehension. No president, no president, no president has ever intimidated an attorney general into abusing power as much as this man has.” —Joe Biden, who knows a thing or two about abuse of power
    Grand delusions: “Every single solitary person that [Trump is] firing now testified under oath that … I did my job perfectly … I was honorable. Everything I did was by the numbers. And that prosecutor we fired should have been fired, period. And there was no investigation going on in Burisma.” —Joe Biden
    Alpha jackass: “Legalize all the DACA students. These DACA students are more American than most Americans are.” —Joe Biden
    Non compos mentis: “There’s a Yale study just out that shows that our current system, if we move to Medicare for All, we would save 68,000 lives a year. That makes the private insurance in America the eighth leading cause of death in the country.” —former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver
    Parroting American Democrat talking points: “In some countries, the laws do not allow for the existence of democracy in the true sense of the word, including the United States itself! In the U.S., which is supposedly the center of democracy … their [Electoral College system] has been shaped in a way that a person who has won fewer popular votes than another becomes the president! … Is this democracy? Is this rule of the popular vote? This is not how it works in our country.” —Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
    And last… “Barack Obama said it would take a ‘magic wand’ to create the type of economy [Donald Trump] has. Now he wants to take credit for 7 million new jobs, lowest ever black unemployment, and record wage growth? In the words of the 44th president himself — you didn’t build that, Barack.” —Charlie Kirk

    Another reality check for the chi coms –
    – A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday rejected Chinese telecommunications equipment maker Huawei Technologies’ constitutional challenge to a U.S. law that restricted its ability to do business with federal agencies and their contractors.
    In a 57-page decision, U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant ruled in favor of the United States, concluding that Congress acted within its powers by including the restriction in the National Defense Authorization Act, which also targeted Chinese company ZTE Corp <000063.SZ>.
    https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/u-judge-rejects-huawei-challenge-221916464.html
    The Commerce Department is proposing tightening what is known as the foreign direct product rule, which limits the ability of foreign countries to use American technology for military or national-security purposes. The new rules would require factories across the globe to obtain licenses in order to make chips for Huawei using American equipment, the Wall Street Journal reported.
    The new restrictions are intended to restrict the world’s second-largest economy’s imports of U.S. semiconductor technology, one of China’s largest American imports. An additional new rule would curb the ability of American companies to supply equipment to Huawei from their overseas
    facilities.

    A Black student has gone viral for defending a multicultural center at the University of Virginia (UVA) as a safe space for people of color. On Feb. 12, conservative youth group Young America’s Foundation (YAF) shared a 37-second video on Twitter . The clip begins with the student trying to get the attention of her peers before educating them about the building that they’re in. “If y’all didn’t know, this is an MSC (multicultural student center), and frankly, there’s just too many white people in here”. “And this is a space for people of color, so let’s be really cognizant of the space that you’re taking up …” The clip then ends with applause. in response, YAF tweeted, “Leftists at the University of Virginia are dictating who is and who isn’t allowed in the new Multicultural Student Center”. YAF went on to tweet, “This kind of racist intolerance is NOT multicultural”. YAF’s post has since received more than 17,000 comments, many of which fiercely defend the student. In the wake of the incident, UVA president Jim Ryan issued a statement, claiming that the center is meant to foster an inclusive environment. “To be clear, the MSC is for all students.

    Comrade Bernie the kool aid guzzling dolt –
    Sanders was amazed at the open “self-criticism” of his Soviet hosts, who admitted that the USSR was 10 or 15 years behind America in medical technology. This seems quite candid, if you didn’t know a thing about the Soviet Union. In reality, it was a perfect example of the sophisticated way in which the Soviets to the very end played a canny game of public relations.
    Yes, health care was provided by the state. Sanders admired this, but that’s because he did not understand the reality of Soviet medical care. Perhaps he should have looked at it more closely.
    A year after Sanders got home, I was part of a U.S.-Soviet cultural exchange group, which included an American doctor, and we carefully finagled a tour of a hospital. (My ability to do some translating helped me make the case for tagging along.) Strictly speaking, we were not supposed to be there, and so we donned white doctor jackets so we could move about the facility quietly with just a few of the Soviet physicians.
    What we saw was grisly. Patients draining their wounds into open jars of pus. Post-operative infections worse than the problem that required surgery. Reusable metal hypodermics, dirty bedclothes, untended patients wandering about dimly lit hallways.
    I saw an operating theater with windows — to the outside. As I looked at the trees and grass while standing next to the surgical table, I asked: “Do you open these? Ever?” When it gets hot, the Soviet doctors replied, nodding.
    The American doctor was polite and professional, but at one point he leaned over to me and whispered that this was where American medicine was … in 1890.

    Its great that my airmen brothers have this now but I have to ask what took so long? –
    The GAU-5A is a modified M4 carbine designed to keep aircrews alive in emergencies.
    The weapon was rebuilt to fit in the storage compartments of ejection seats.
    A normal M4 carbine can break down into two major pieces, the lower receiver and upper receiver, but the resulting pieces still won’t fit into the ejection seat compartment. The Gunsmith Shop makes several modifications to an existing M4 to create a GAU-5A. First, it replaces the standard 14.5-inch barrel with a 12.5-inch barrel to create an overall shorter length. Next, it installed a Cry Havoc Tactical Quick Release Barrel (QRB) kit, which allows the barrel and handguard to be removed. The pistol grip also folds backward. Finally the bulky front sight post is removed and replaced with front and rear fold-down sights.
    If a pilot bails out over hostile territory, he or she simply removes the weapon case from the back of the ejection seat, folds the pistol grip forward, fits the barrel on the rifle, pops up the sights, and inserts a loaded magazine. The entire process takes 30 seconds.
    The U.S. Air Force has issued so-called “bailout” weapons for decades for use by aircrew in the event of a crash behind enemy lines or in a remote region. Even in a non-shooting war, it could take days for search and rescue units to locate a downed pilot, and a bailout weapon provides not only a source of security but also a means to bagging small game. Ejection seats only provide so much in military rations and eventually a pilot might be forced to scavenge for food.

On the other side of the aisle, we don’t give a crap whether a politician can fund his own campaign. The upside is that the sumbich is not going to be bought for chotskies like almost every other politician is. However, having your own cash doesn’t mean that you’re also not going to pander the voters, that’s still necessary to get their votes – look at Short Round doing the moonwalk on ‘stop and frisk’.

    While the socialist dems have for years bitched about what was really just a normal Russian disinformation shit disturbing that got a shot of steroids from those weeping in their pink pussy had like Page, and her boy toy and the rest of the swamp.
    This is going on as before in the real world party parrots who used to suck up to the USSR –
    But Cabrera, a short and stocky Mexican citizen, was charged Tuesday with being an “unregistered foreign agent” for Russia. He is accused of spying on at least one U.S. informant in South Florida, though court filings provided only sketchy details of the allegations.
    In a brief hearing, Cabrera, 35, did reveal that he had bank accounts and jobs in different parts of the world. He told a magistrate judge that he was making $7,500 a month as a researcher at the National University of Singapore and another $5,000 a month from a part-time job with an Israeli company in Germany, along with holding about $100,000 in bank accounts in Mexico, Singapore and the United States.
    “None of my family knows I’m here,” Cabrera said, explaining to Magistrate Judge Chris McAliley that it would be difficult to gain access to his money outside the United States to pay for a defense attorney. She assigned a temporary public defender to represent Cabrera, who faces pretrial detention because prosecutor Michael Thakur said he is a flight risk.
    Cabrera was arrested Monday by FBI agents after he was stopped the previous day at Miami International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers who inspected his cellphone before his scheduled departure for Mexico on Sunday.
    According to a criminal affidavit, Cabrera arrived with his Mexican wife last Thursday, rented a Chrysler sedan and drove directly to a Miami-area condominium complex.
    The affidavit says Cabrera visited the complex to spy on a resident at the “direction” of an agent with the Russian Intelligence Service, which operates under President Vladimir Putin. It turned out that the resident was an informant for the FBI’s counterintelligence division who provides information on Russian spying activities in South Florida. Before he was asked to leave the complex, Cabrera’s wife took a photo of the federal informant’s car and license plate.
    Cabrera, who was visiting Miami on a business and tourism visa, told FBI agents during questioning Monday that he had met with the Russian intelligence agent in Russia several times over the past year and that he instructed him to rent a unit at the condo complex in Miami to do surveillance on the FBI informant. His cellphone showed that there had been interaction between Cabrera and his Russian handler, according to the affidavit.
