I do not want to start a Hillary vs. Bernie fight here.  (We have El Jefe for that!)

But I do want to say that Donna Brazile is one of the classiest dames I have ever met.  She is double smart, funny, and has a voice that could lull you into volunteering for the hardest job in any campaign.  I consider myself blessed to know she has a role in my party.

I think she has something important to say.  It’s long, but worth your time.  I will let you draw your own conclusions but I trust her honesty and perceptions.

I do need to offer this disclaimer.  I was chair of the finance committee for the Texas Democratic Party at the time this “money sharing” idea was presented.  I was given to understand that the money was going to both the DNC and Hillary that a (small) portion would be kept in Texas.  I was also told that any other candidate would be given the same opportunity.  We got totally screwed by it in Texas, totally screwed.  I have never forgiven myself for being trusting when I’m usually the one being a horse’s patootie about stuff like this.  If I ever see Debbie Wasserman Schultz I will tell her to kiss my big blue butt.

That’s all I have to say about that.

Thanks to Bunny for the heads up.

The Washington Times is a far right newspaper.  Apparently, further right than anyone suspected.

Do you want to know who the real victims are in the “crimes against America” case?  Of course you do.

And their definition of “manhandled”?

It has been reported that the agents checked Mr. Manafort and wife Kathleen for guns as they broke into the Alexandria condo pre-dawn by picking the lock.

A source familiar with the case told The Washington Times the search was even more intrusive: An agent patted down Mrs. Manafort before she was allowed to get out of bed.

Mrs. Manafort is a lawyer and was fully aware of her husband’s crimes against America.  The previous morning, they woke up to a horse’s head in their bed.

But how dare the FBI check a white man and his wife for guns.

The best thing about winning the World Series?

No Donald Trump on the front page of the newspaper.

Thanks for all your congratulations, guys.  For every game this season, I was in front of the tv or at the game.  It was the best!

Get a load of this.

Speaking to Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of Mike Flynn and James Comey, that led to Mueller’s appointment, according to a source briefed on the call.

Trump is now blaming Kushner. He’s also coming apart in little sharp pieces.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

This morning, Donald Trump tweeted:

First of all, the Diversity Visa was part of Immigration Act of 1990 – passed by the Senate with a bipartisan 89-8 vote – signed by Daddy Bush.  The Senator from New York was Republican Al D’Amato.  Schumer wasn’t elected until 1999.

Today at her press conference Sarah Huckybooboo denied that Trump ever blamed Schumer.

She also flat lied about people under this program not having to go through vetting.

Then for the trifecta of stoopid, she tried to say that Trump really didn’t say that the United States justice system was defective.  Exact quote:

We need quick justice and we need strong justice — much quicker and much stronger than we have right now. Because what we have right now is a joke and it’s a laughingstock.

Sarah says he didn’t mean that – he was just frustrated.

Get control, dude.  The Founding Fathers also grow frustrated that a man who has never read the constitution and could not name even one Supreme Court case would trash their work.

Now I am certain that Trump has heard the words “laughingstock” and “a joke” quite a lot recently but they weren’t about the American judicial system. Some guy who is illiterate and can’t name three synonyms for “beautiful” doesn’t get to crack wise about the rule of law.

I can’t wait until this guy is out of there!

ProPublica lists their favorite news stories on Manafort, Gates, and Papadopoulos.  It’s how I spent lunch today and you might want to bookmark it.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
