    I had heard of some suggesting that Trump was a plant by the Koch brothers to make Walker look good. Looks like that is not the case.

    I have been wondering if the City Council can do some oversight into the performance of the extra bus service that they have purchased from Metro. I catch mid-day runs of the D-Line, and they have been between 8 and 12 minutes late at times. Several of the recent instances, fare inspectors blocking the rear doors. Maybe it’s the temporarily relocated third and pike stop, with an ORCA Card reader that has had issues at times, but this new trick maybe counter-productive, as one of the selling points of bus rapid transit is off bus fare collection. Maybe it will get better when the C and D lines are split.

    For LOLz Jim Miller has traveled back to 2000 and posted an Al Gore is fat! post over at the zombie (un)SP. No, you can’t comment on it over there.

    Hey Boob, what do you think about Texas attorney general being indicted? You don’t say a Republican. Is the Attorney General suppose to uphold the laws and not break them?

    And of course – his supporters are trying to spit shine the fucker.

    But I guess it is a little premature to be talking about it just yet.

    Baltimore reached a grim milestone on Friday, three months after riots erupted in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police custody: With 45 homicides in July, the highest monthly murder rate in 43 years.

    Gee. I thought ‘grim milestones’ were only used as descriptors for US servicemember deaths in Iraq or Afghanistan when GWB43 was president.

    Anyone remember Fast and Furious?

    What Soofi could not have known was that Lone Wolf was at the center of a federal sting operation known as Fast and Furious, targeting Mexican drug lords and traffickers. The idea of the secret program was to allow Lone Wolf to sell illegal weapons to criminals and straw purchasers, and track the guns back to large smuggling networks and drug cartels.

    Instead, federal agents lost track of the weapons and the operation became a fiasco, particularly after several of the missing guns were linked to shootings in Mexico and the 2010 killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in Arizona.

    It’s still killing people.

    @15, 16, et al.: Yada yada. No matter how hard you try to spin things, the fact remains, you guys are the Warmonger-Torturer-Bigot-Racist-Anti-Women and Anti-Worker Party, and only social misfits vote for you. For everyone else, Hillary is the only game in town.

    “Real estate mogul Donald Trump might be pinning his presidential bid on the promise to win back American jobs from overseas, but his companies are taking a different tactic. According to a Reuters analysis of Labor Department data, a number of Trump’s companies have applied for hundreds of temporary visas for foreign workers since 2000. Nine companies, which Trump has majority stakes in, have tried to bring in at least 1,100 foreign employees to work as cooks, wait staff, vineyard hands and other miscellaneous laborers under a short-term work visa program.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This two-faced opportunist rails against immigrants while profiteering from immigrants. Can you say “hypocrite”?

    Why would anyone who supported Citizens United and the creation of Super Pacs believe in transparency or an ethical government?

    That would be like not believing in money laundering but support the Mexican drug lords.

    I’m listening to the Sunday talking head shows and caught a short bit with trump. If he were president, he would claw back jobs from china, mexico, vietnan and that there are too many people who have given up trying to find a job because of offshoring. It was a variation on ““I will be the greatest jobs president that God every created,” he said in announcing his candidacy on June 16. “I will bring back our jobs from China, Mexico and other places. I will bring back jobs and our money.”

    I don’t know if his base cares that trump industries uses foreign workers, he’s telling them what they want to hear about jobs.

    Only trump and Bernie Sanders are getting any press for advocating FOR the American worker. The rest, and that includes hillary, are either, invisible, openly hostile to American workers or being weasel word politicians not wanting to commit to anything that might cost them votes or donations.

    Ah yes, then we are suppose to be outraged when a Palestinian kills a Jew or supposed to denounce terrorists not wanting Jews to exist.

    The murder did this once before and for some reason back on the streets to do it again. His scrims offense.

    And Religuon is suppose to be celebrated and honored.

    @25 I hope AFRICOM is making a difference there. They’ve certainly spent a lot of time trying to train them in everything from medical to ground combat to intelligence issues. I also hope we’re not creating a tin-pot dictator.

    BTW: Did you edit that? I could have sworn you, or the link said “Rocket Attack.” I never follow HyPo links, but I looked up the news elsewhere and, by the time I came back, it was “gunmen”. Did I imagine that?

    Bernie had a much better response to racism in America at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He managed to handle the topic well without making it out as primarily an economic problem. He did still pivot to prison populations and incarceration rates. As for latino issues, the interviewer, and Pres. & CEO of the C of C, Javier Palomarez, had to give him a verbal elbow to the ribs to keep his record from skipping : “You would solve all social issues with economic answers?”

    CHUCK TODD: Who would you rather face: Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden?

    DONALD TRUMP: Well, I don’t have a choice. I would say this. I think with what she’s doing and how she’s coming out, you know, she’s got a terrible record. She’s probably the worst secretary of state in the history of this country. And, she’s now, the email thing, I mean, what they did with Petraeus is they destroyed his life. What she did is far greater and far worse than Petraeus did.

    Petraeus strayed once and got fired for it. Bill Clinton has done it, repeatedly, for decades. At least once forcefully, if his accuser is to be believed.

    One wonders if Petraeus will have a role next year.

    For that matter, one wonders if Bill Cosby will have a role next year.

  29. 29

    Didn’t edit. Never seen rocket attack. And I was being sarcastic. Hopefully they all kill each other. Do the world some good.

  30. 30

    @28,
    Is that what I think it is? An expression of sympathy for Bill Cosby?
    You really are a piece of work. Better not let the women in your life see these comments. If there are any.

  32. 32

    @28 “Petraeus strayed once and got fired for it.”

    So now you’re shedding crocodile tears for David Petraeus? Cry me a river. In the military, adultery is a firing offense, and every officer knows that when he accepts his commission. Petraeus also shared classified information with an unauthorized civilian — the woman he was sleeping with — which is a prosecutable offense. Use your imagination, and maybe you’ll see why the military has these rules. What if she was an enemy agent?

    Once again snarky cheap shot Boob gets schooled again. He has no morals. And is the biggest hypocrite of all.

    At least Puffy has an excuse – that he is a pea brained deranged religious radical and has no brain.

    What is your excuse Boob? Did you become a doctor to impress your daddy and he still hates you? Who were you rejected by for you to be so bitter in life.

  34. 34

    Boobs post thought he’d take advantage of the crass of the Duck to disparage Hillary, because he’s upset of the Duck making the other Republican Clowns out to be clowns, which is really fun to watch, which pisses off Boob.

    But the Ducks quote leaves Boob cupping his junk after his pants fall to the floor. I could only imagine the vileness and the need to throw up seeing that.

  35. 35

    @29 Sorry, I was thrown by the basic humanity. Dennis Miller isn’t very good at sarcasm anymore, either. Must have been a cached headline in my search site.

    Up in Canada, Prime Minister Harper has started the 2015 Election early. It should have been next month, or 37 days ahead of the fixed October election date, but the spending limit goes up each extra day. It’s a 3 way race, with the NDP and Conservatives neck and neck, with Prime Minister Harper, NDP leader Mulcair, and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau each having to fight a two front battle.

    The Conservatives did get the Voter ID rules tightened, but it appears it may be similar to what we had with our Help America Vote Act, and not the newest Republican-led rules restricting what ID can be used. The voter registration card is no longer valid ID, but a health card, utility bill, or a prescription bottle label can be used.
