A man for whom I have no respect. He saw the light only after he could no longer benefit from kissing Trump's behind. The GOP majority (in Congress and the Court) that he so devoutly worked to create is exactly what is pushing us into this Orwellian situation.

Pros and cons? Quality?

Can you download photos onto your own storage device, or are you stuck with theirs?

Fox and journalism should never be uttered in the same sentence ....

If you want your blood boiling some more, the shooter apparently released video to exculpate himself, which does the exact opposite. And DHS has all of this information and still gaslights us.

Many people in government need to be arrested and tried, even if it's four years from now. No "forgive and forget."

When your emotions take off and you kill someone, you need to spend many years behind bars ...

Make 'em Laugh, from Singing in the Rain ... Donald O'Connor's magic.

The feds are preventing MN from investigating. The state must take over anyway, do the best it can, and bring the issue to a grand jury.

L'etat, c'est moi comes to pass.

Casualties among the police and the Basij (volunteer thugs of the worst sort) suggest people are fed up enough to be fearless ... and armed.

US war-games about the situation were not hopeful about the proverbial day after. Maduro's regime could easily be replaced with chaos as parts of the army, pockets of loyalists, and FARC guerrillas in Colombia all jockey for control of Venezuela's oil and narco wealth. Machado's claim that she could assert immediate authority make little sense, and the Trump mafia seem unlikely to want to put her in control, since that would diminish their capacity to line their pockets by raping Venezuela's wealth in the future.

Performing at the Center is now a political statement. It should lead to shunning ...
