I just listened to the Sheer Intelligence interview on Truthdig about "The Great Con of American Patriotism" and it struck me that probably no German of my age, born 1948, could have ever felt the same way as both, Ron Kovic or Danny Sjursen, did. Because we were the kids of the bad guys and we actually thought to join the German military service (Bundeswehr) is something that would be neither honorable nor even reasonable.

I've never seen approval ratings this high in a democracy before.

In the late night hours between Feb. 6 and early Feb. 7, five military helicopters, including 2 large transport helicopters and several Blackhawks were observed in what has been a purported "practice exercise". Why in downtown where a training mishap would be a total disaster?

First off let's look at this picture. On most sites that show it you see this caption;

The DNC really backed a couple of real winners, didn’t they.? Oh wait! Would this have happened if they hadn’t tried to cheat The Clinton Creature into the White House? We’ll never know the answer to that.

Second Woman Accuses Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia of Sexual Assault

Well, this is different. Writing a book to justify his and his fellow felons actions BEFORE any ‘official’ charges are made certainly seems to be a proactive move on this little cretins part. He’s dirty, dirty, dirty but here he is, writing a book to get his disinformation out to those who are responsive to believing this crap. Check out the book’s title. That’s where I got miffed.

McCabe: Rosenstein wrote Comey memo under duress

I read this and I had to laugh. Mainly because I’ve got an OP going about the gall of Shifty hiring someone to ‘administer’ Trump & Co. I understand it’s the WP and they’re congenital liars, but the hubris displayed in this article really really really pisses me off. And it IS how the Dims have to fight this now.
