Well, this happened today.
Lighthouses Don't Fire Cannon

One of the first lessons I learned about fire safety and burning buildings was not to call the fire department while you were still inside said burning building. This may seem fairly obvious but when your brain is being flooded with adrenaline you don't always think straight. So, after the 911 operator yelled "GET OUT!", I did.

Like Caliguila’s horse, Draco (not the Harry Potter one) ordered death penalties for cabbage theft, but had no cure for a leader who also had the mind of one. The Trump Cabinet continues to surprise us with its classist ignorance of worker misery, as the federal worker lock-out ended Friday, timed primarily to take attention from the #TrumpRussia arrest of Roger Stone.
Israel versus Jews
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 01/27/2019 - 4:27pmAccording to family lore, my great-aunt and great-uncle were living in Romania in 1942.
They were 12 and 14 years old at the time. It was the old country, so the house was full with extended family.
One afternoon my great-aunt and great-uncle came home from school to find the house was empty. My relatives were Jews. They were all grabbed by the Nazis and sent to a death camp.
(Let the games begin!): Clinton not ruling out running in 2020: report

As for us plebs, instead of dreading the coming 2-year campaign for the 2020 election, we should turn it into a game. Get some FUN out of the hysteria and hyperbole. Maybe like the drinking game.
(IMO) Why the Trump/Russia nonsense needs to stop. The Feds already have all the proof they need.

FIRST: this has been really bugging me. Why depend on getting the truth from lying, opportunistic weasels when the actual proof is already available?
