There has got to be more to this than what information that we've been privy to.

 

The Latest: The FCC says a Hawaii employee who mistakenly sent an alert warning of a ballistic missile thought an actual attack was imminent. https://t.co/WnRRmj4dK7

I say something fishy with that. The person who did it won't cooperate other than a written statement? Why not? What's he hiding? If he genuinely believe an attack was coming then why be all acting suspicious?

Scary s-h-i-t time: Trump wants Sessions to ARREST Mueller and his team. Not a joke. And from NBC News, so a reputable source (via Twitter).

So it looks like he's going to say something stupid about North Korea tonight, and he also isn't going to re-nominate someone for South Korea ambassador who dared to question his attempts to push a trade war with South Korea and have bombing on North Korea. And of course it's all about driving headlines. I'm so tired of this [!@#$%^&*].

Did this  shameful SOB just use a grieving African American family to go after the undocumented? Yes he did. What a cynical, awful thing to do.

I think we're going to see a lot of divide and conquer with the GOP in coming years, in terms of racial conflicts. 

 

Not to go off topic, but I'm glad Hillary called out the NYT for their double standards.

So, Joe Kennedy III. What say you?

 

I thought he was stiff starting out. But once he got warmed up, he seemed passionate. Inclusive! (Lots of "we" and "our" versus "I" and "me"...)

 

I can't say as I was born 4 years after his assassination, but I've seen some say he sounded a lot like his grandfather, RFK.

 

But is he the hope for 2020? Not sure. Still, Dems can do much worse. See the current occupant of the White House. 

I hope they don't throw around the words "Democrats' next hope" TOO much.  Otherwise, the GOP will sniff around, looking for something in that kid's past to nail him with.

I think most people will just talk about the spit/drool memes that started immediately.

 

Nobody who ever does those responses seems to go anywhere. 

In other off topic news, I'm so disappointed that the only person I saw who managed the "McCabe and Mrs. Clinton" joke (which was the first thing I thought of when all this mess started) was Ben Shapiro, as it just reminded me yet again that I probably have more in common with him than I may wish...

If Georgia can go Blue, so can you South Carolina. Get crackin'.

 

BREAKING: South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of House Oversight Committee, says he will not seek re-election.

I can't get excited about a member of a political dynasty. It reeks of oligarchy and we need to be getting away from that if we can. It may be too late.

 

If I were to forget his name is Kennedy,  I would say I'd like to see him become more seasoned first.  Obviously, if he's the candidate I would vote for him, but I'd rather see Harris, Biden or Booker get the nomination.

JUST IN: Congressional Budget Office has issued a report advising Congress to consider raising the debt ceiling earlier than anticipated to account for the revenue loss brought upon by the GOP tax legislation.
