The queen of Michigan’s let them eat cake moment –
In Facebook posts no longer visible to the public, NorthShore Dock LLC and its owner, Tad Dowker, focused on what Dowker said was a request last week by Whitmer’s husband, Marc Mallory. The posts caught the attention of Republican state lawmakers, who said the governor’s family may not have wanted to follow the guidance she’s issued for the rest of the state.
“This morning, I was out working when the office called me, there was a gentleman on hold who wanted his boat in the water before the weekend,” Dowker posted. “Being Memorial weekend and the fact that we started working three weeks late means there is no chance this is going to happen.”
He continued, “Our office personnel had explained this to the man and he replied, ‘I am the husband to the governor, will this make a difference?’” The docking company later noted that Mallory respectfully accepted that the accommodation would not be possible.

Trump may be banned from twitter-possibly reaches new low:
“The widower of a woman who died in former Congressman Joe Scarborough’s office has written to Twitter Inc. asking the company to remove President Donald Trump’s tweets about the case, according to a letter obtained by the New York Times.
“My request is simple: Please delete these tweets,” Timothy J. Klausutis wrote in his letter to Twitter Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey. “I’m asking you to intervene in this instance because the President of the United States has taken something that does not belong to him – the memory of my dead wife and perverted it for perceived political gain.”

HANSON’S RULE OF OPPOSITES
“In his American Greatness column “The doctrine of media untruth,” Victor Davis Hanson lays down a highly useful rule of opposites:
As a general rule, when the New York Times, the Washington Post, National Public Radio, Public Broadcasting Service, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN begin to parrot a narrative, the truth often is found in simply believing just the opposite.
Put another way, the media’s “truth” is a good guide to what is abjectly false. Perhaps we can call the lesson of this valuable service, the media’s inadvertent ability to convey truth by disguising it with transparent bias and falsehood, the “Doctrine of Media Untruth.”

Details about Trumps disgusting accusations
“When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida,” Trump tweeted May 12. “Did he get away with murder? Some people think so. Why did he leave Congress so quietly and quickly? Isn’t it obvious? What’s happening now? A total nutjob!”
Trump again tweeted about the case Tuesday, as the widower’s letter circulated, appearing to suggest it would be up to law enforcement to
make any decision on reopening the case.
“The opening of a Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough was not a Donald Trump original thought, this has been going on for years, long before I joined the chorus,” he said in one of a pair of tweets. “So many unanswered & obvious questions, but I won’t bring them up now! Law enforcement eventually will?”
Trump has repeatedly tweeted about the conspiracy theory to his millions of followers and others, including his son Donald Trump Jr., have retweeted the postings to their followers.

re VDH’s counsel about about opposites in media (see also BillT’s 755am) – the truth turns out to be exactly the opposite of what the lamestream reports when it acts in concord – it is nothing but the wholesale expression of communist Alinsky’s counsel in ‘Rules for Radicals’. We now have the entire Fourth Estate transmogrified into a giant leftwing ideological propaganda industry. And the unwitting grassroots media players are in deep denial that any of this is happening. Things are way past the tipping point, and there is no evident return path.

Fish, Until Flynn is pardoned or the convictions overturned his status is guilty as charged. where is the investigation against Morning Joe Fish? Trump made it up and that is disgusting behavior for the President to be engaged in. He should be asked to resign by the Republicans who should be deeply embarrassed and disgusted by his behavior. If not, it’s a stain on their integrity.

fish 948am – this may be a nit, but is it not true that “the indictment and plea deal involving General Flynn” has already been vacated by the contending parties? Hence, under our legal system there is nothing left for the courts to adjudicate. It is the rogue Judge Sullivan who is attempting the extra-legal gambit to reignite the case by fabricating new contending parties to which he will give legal standing in HIS courtroom.
