Enjoy!

My email box is busting open so let me share a few things in one post.

Okay, who the hell goes to the scene of horrific murders and does this?

In case you can’t see it, he’s all grinning and thumbs up.

What the fool damn hell is he doing?

And all that pretty much explains this —

Customer Sandy asks, “So was that reported $26 million payment of $107 million “missing” inaugural funds to Melania’s friend’s company (with a payment of $1.65 million directly to the friend) actually a pass thru to Melania as payment to maintain a charade of domestic tranquility? Inquiring minds want to know.”

I do not know but it wouldn’t shock me.

And it appears that H.R. McMaster hasn’t caught the dreaded Trumpitis.

White House National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster said evidence of Russian meddling in the 2016 election is “now really incontrovertible,” CNN reports.

McMaster has said previously it had been difficult to say definitively because “technically it was difficult” but “also you didn’t want to divulge your intelligence capabilities.”

He added: “But now that this is in the arena of a law enforcement investigation it’s going to be very apparent to everyone.”

Uh, except Trump.

There are Three Billboards Outside Miami targeting Marco Rubio. They say, “Slaughtered in school,” “And still no gun control?” “How come, Marco Rubio?”

Have a fun Saturday night!

I’ve been block-driving all day.  We use the Voter Activation Network to plot out where Democrats live in my county.  I drive, Bubba jumps out and goes to the front door and tries to get votes.

So, if you know anybody who lives in Fort Bend County or in CD22 (Currently held by Pete Olson) please ask them to vote for Hazel Dorine Lundy for Democratic County Chair.  It’s important.  The current chair has mood swings that are going to sling her into low earth obit one day, plus she won’t let the county executive committee see the financial records because, as she admits, they are “a mess.”

And …

Sri Preston Kulkarni for Congress, CD22.  He is endorsed by both the AFL-CIO and the Houston Chronicle in a five-person primary race.

I’m going to take tomorrow off to rest up because early voting starts next week in Texas.

On Thursday, a known leader of a white nationalist group in Florida announced to an Anti-Defamation League researcher that the Parkland shooter was a member of his group, Republic of Florida.  The news spread quickly, including me on these pages.  Yesterday, the Broward County sheriff said that they have found no evidence of his involvement in the group.  Apparently, the leader of ROP is known for wanting attention and walked back his declaration the day after.

The reaction was as you would expect – right wingers came out of the woodwork, including here, accusing the press (and me) of spreading false narratives about shooters and how inept (or evil) we are.  And then, the shooter’s digital profile began emerging…”I hate Jews, Ni**ers, Immigrants,” he posted on a YouTube thread call “Murica”.  He was obsessed with race, violence, guns, and school shootings. His Instagram feed was full of racist and hateful posts.  On another YouTube thread, he posted, “I’m going to become a professional school shooter.”  This is the comment that was reported to the FBI, which it ignored.  Here’s a nice pic on his Instagram feed wearing his Trump campaign hat.

So, is the shooter a white supremacist? Certainly.  Was he a member of the ROF? We don’t know that yet.

The Mueller indicts 13 Russians for interfering in the 2018 election.  The indictments say that Russian defendants’ operations were “supporting the presidential campaign of them-candidate Donald J. Trump.”
