    Getting to be interesting the impeachment witnesses. Would have been great to hear from the blocked witnesses.

    Fauxchahontas sent her son to private school and lied about it when she was confronted.

    ’cause she opposes charter schools for others.

    2020 GOP election ad:

    “Just in the same way I think that we have to — when you guys were talking about how we have to be more moderate or move to the center, that’s how we’re going to win next year, see, to me, I think moving to the center — I am the center. I am the mainstream now of the Democratic party,” Moore said.

    Defense Counsel aside: (“I’m gonna see if I can get him to say that again, only differently.”)

    Schiff: “I’m gonna make up my own story and present the parody to my colleagues as if it’s true.”

    But Schiff’s parody was outright false, as even Schiff partly acknowledged, in saying: “And I’m going to say this only seven times so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand. Lots of it. On this and on that.”

    The memo doesn’t show Trump saying anything about “seven times,” nor does the president ask Zelensky to “make up dirt” on Biden.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/11/13/impeaching-hearing-factcheck-adam-schiff-parody/4178449002/

    This is how you get more Trump.

  10. 10

    @7 “nor does the president ask Zelensky to ‘make up dirt’ on Biden.”

    True. He only says “I want you to do me a favor” and ties $391 million of military aid to that “favor.” And we all now know what the “favor” was, thanks to the testimony of witnesses.

    “This is how you get more Trump.”

    No, this is how you get more articles of impeachment.

    @4 Doctor Dumbfuck’s bleating about “Warren’s dishonesty” is like Ted Bundy starting a neighborhood watch group because women are disappearing from his block.

    Over half a million pounds of pork products are being recalled because a Midwest pork processor produced them off the clock without inspection.

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/23/health/food-pork-recall/index.html

    This is what companies do when you have government regulation and inspectors. Imagine what they’d do without government regulation, employing their own inspectors (or none at all), which is what every GOP administration since Bush2 has tried to do to our federal meat inspection program. This stuff would be going on unsuspecting consumer’s breakfast and dinner plates if they hadn’t been caught because of a — you guessed it — anonymous whistleblower.

    Republicans are against whistleblower anonymity. They think whistleblowers should be outed so they can receive death threats, their children can be harassed at school, etc.

    That’s who Doctor Dumbfuck votes for. Personally, I think he deserves all the scorn we heap on him. Even though he can’t help being a dumbfuck (he was born that way), he’s obviously making some choices about a lot of this stuff.

  14. 14

    But Schiff’s parody was outright false

    All parody is false. Once again, having to explain humor to a conservative is tiresome.

    GOPProTip: Chevy Chase notwithstanding, Gerald Ford only fell down the one time, and never from a ladder.

    Also: Murphy Brown – not an actual real person.

    Thanks for playing Dumbfucks.

  15. 15

    Bonus GOPProTip: Despite Gerald Ford only falling down the one time, George HW never actually saying “wouldn’t be prudent”, and Trump never actually eating cheeseburgers on the toilet, the vast majority of American voters believe otherwise.
    Good information there.

    YLB suffers IUD pain every time she has sex.

    “Vindman is the first White House official to cooperate with Congress’s impeachment inquiry, which makes his testimony all the more damaging. So Trump surrogates rushed to discredit him before he even appeared before the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight and Reform committees. Their main tactic so far has been to accuse the Army veteran — who has a Purple Heart for an IUD injury in Iraq and served multiple overseas tours — of secretly working for Ukraine.”

    https://www.instyle.com/news/GQ-Alexander-Vindman-IUD-typo

    Er…

    “This story has been updated,” reads a note at the end of the article. “Alexander Vindman received a Purple Heart after being wounded by an IED, or improvised explosive device, not an IUD, or intrauterine device. We regret the error.”

    Best for YLB that she not receive a purple heart. The color clashes with her eye shadow.

    It’s hard to come up with exculpatory witnesses when everyone in your inner circle is in on the plot and is as guilty as you are, but that does have the potential to produce a cornucopia of incriminating witnesses when the indictments start coming.

    @3

    Literally no one is against private schools. If you want to send little Track and Bristol to the school where they say the magic middle eastern created all and climate change is all part of the plan…go for it. I’m not paying for that.

    You want to give the current Education Secretary $4,000/mo so your kid can go to the school where the owner Principal drives a M5 and they kick out anyone who gets less than 85% on standardized test and they have that South Asian kid for diversity…that’s ok with me too. But no, my taxes shouldn’t be paying a for profit business to ‘educate’ Baron.

    Also parody: Hands Up Don’t Shoot

    This is what I mean.
    You think it isn’t parody?

    The fact that this is parody is what makes it effective rhetoric.
    I know you didn’t have time for Voltaire decades ago when you were staying up all night memorizing the names of nerves or pulling 100 hour weeks rooting around in the oozing scabs of Sterno bums, but you might want to think about it now that they pulled your ticket and you have all this extra time.

    You clearly have a talent for cynical nihilism. But without a sense of humor to temper it, I’m afraid you only appear sick and cruel. Also possibly dangerous. Those who can make you believe absurdities, can also make you commit atrocities.

    @ 19

    Literally no one who is not affiliated with or beholden to the NEA is against private schools.

  23. 23

    It’s wrong to make up things other people said or did.

    Like dancing on rooftops on 9/11.

    Or what they were saying when gesticulating with your ‘retard arms’ “Uuuuh, I don’t know what I said, uhhhh”

    “Pocahontas…”Uh what tribe am I let me think about that” ”

    This is how the GOP is now. They’re true believers are in a twitter (see what I did there) about hyperbole. Call it ‘lies’.

  24. 24

    @22

    Why do you lie about what the NEA has ever actually said. We should put you under investigation. Daffy Dumbfuck should be impeached.

    Again, literally no one is against private schools.

  25. 25

    “This is how you get more Trump.”

    Cut to the chase, dumbfuck. What you’ve done so far is betray our country by giving us Putin, who now controls the executive branch of our government and half of Congress. You post here with the intent to further betray our nation, to give us more Putin.

  26. 26

    @ 25

    What you’ve done so far is betray our country by giving us Putin, who now controls the executive branch of our government and half of Congress. You post here with the intent to further betray our nation, to give us more Putin.

    I’m sorry, Steve. Which administration, when provided information prior to the 2016 election that Russia was interfering with the 2016 election, chose a strongly-worded letter as its response rather than engaging Putin more effectively?

    ’cause I don’t think it was the Trump administration.

    Think on your sins, Steve. After the next election you will have more flexibility to do so, you blame-dodging pansy.

  27. 27

    @21

    Who are these vulnerable Democrats? Have you seen the top of the GOP ticket? Didn’t he just go on State TV and admit that the impeachment charges are true?

    Doesn’t he stand by an avowed White Supremacist in a key White House position?

    Didn’t he let the Russians have our bases in Syria?

    “Ooooooh owie, the GOP is running anti-impeachment ads for the minority who think he did nothing wrong. We must hit back NOW!”

  28. 28

    Judge Andrew Napolitano believes there is enough “there” there to impeach Trump. Good! Let’s go ahead with the process and have a trial in the Senate. That will be the end of this situation.

    Again, literally no one is against private schools.

    You are literally a fucking asshole, Cz-252.

    Political Confessional: I Think Private Schools Should Be Banned

    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/political-confessional-i-think-private-schools-should-be-banned/

    Cz-252, being so wrong about your emphatic claim that Hillary had an “absolute lock” on 252 EVs should have taught you something about the stupidity of making such declarative statements without conclusive evidence.

    You remain clueless as to reality. Continue your obliviousness at your peril.

    Wow you had to dig hard to find a 538 staff writer who heard a Podcast

    O.K. You got me. Literally .0000000003% of Americans are against private schools.

    But what was actually said,

    “I would uphold a change banning these schools or promoting a requirement that an amount equal to the tuition of these schools must be paid into the public school system. This would have to also be upheld with ‘donations’ and monies earned with ‘benefit’ events. OR every private school has to offer a public school or two access to its classes and school offerings (teachers, sports involvement, travel, etc.).”

    In other words, either reform or ban. Either or. Hyperbole. You should read occasionally. Even your ‘proofs’ don’t say what you assume.

  32. 32

    23,
    But this is precisely why klownsurvaturds are so bad at it and what makes it dangerous in their hands. As amply demonstrated herein by The Lone Gunman they simply do not understand how parody works. It’s why things like Boat-Full-O-Dildos go wrong, why Daleiden is heading to jail, and why Laura Loomer shit her pants while chained to a Manhattan doorway.

    Conservatives can’t do edgy. They become captivated by their own performance and internalize the belief. Next thing you know they are marching right past news cameras carrying torches and chanting “Jews Will Not Replace Us” with total conviction and certainty. It’s really only another step or two from that to strapping on a bomb-vest.

    It’s Every Republican You Know.

  33. 33

    I HAVE noticed wealthier folks tend to send their kids to private school ata higher rate than people of more modest means…

  34. 34

    28,
    Maybe not quite yet.
    There’s still at least one federal ruling that is ripe enough, concerning whether or not private citizen Don McGahn can be subpoenaed to testify. That will have significant bearing on whether private citizen John Bolton, for example, can be called to testify. And then there are the two bag-men in pre-trial custody in New York.

    I don’t blame you treasonous shit stains for yearning to see an end to this humiliation. But I’m afraid there’s a very good chance you’re sad fucks are going to remain tied to the playground monkey bars with your pants up the flag pole for at least another lunch period still.

    Slightly related, a candidate for an Eastside School board spot ran on a platform that public magnet schools should be outlawed because they aren’t open to everyone.

    That and her kid with no diagnosis on the spectrum isn’t getting the accommodations allowed to Autistic and other special needs kids so the schools hate autistic kids (it was a really hard candidate statement to follow along).

    She lost. Badly. like 75-21 on election night. Not sure what the final was.

    Yeah that Native Ancesrty thing is really a problem.

    She and Sharice Davids are the first two Native American women elected to the U.S. Congress. Haaland is a member of the Laguna Pueblo people.

  38. 38

    “I’m sorry, Steve. Which administration…”

    …betrayed our allies and then, as they were dying, hosted the perpetrator of their extermination at the WH? And as this is going on, sold our foreign policy for campaign dirt while Russian troops were taking selfies in an abandoned US military base and Putin was cracking jokes and laughing at America?

    Three years into your watch and all these atrocities are happening because of what? Because Hillary was so…awful?

  39. 39

    Three years into your watch and all these atrocities are happening because of what?

    That’s a waste of time. Because the answer to your question is simply “for the lulz”.

    So the better question would be
    Three years into your watch and all these atrocities are happening at what cost to you?

    Teh Dumbfuck and “his ilk” will sing themselves to sleep at night with lullabies about “tank-full-o-gas”, “immigrant caravans”, and FREEDUMBS. And that’s good. But president StinkFinger is destroying their political revolution from the bottom up. And the defense of president Russian SlutPuppet is gutting their political leadership class of its credibility from the top down. And the end of that, despite pleading like @28, is nowhere in sight. This unhinged racist lunatic clown car is their new normal. And if any “sane” Bushbots or elder statesmen like Willard wish to climb behind the wheel they’ve got to slap on plenty of grease paint and put on a red nose and big shoes. Because this is who they are now. And though it may leave them all doubled over with laughter, that is the real price they are paying for the casual cruelty and indifference.

    People who giggle at funerals always end up being shunned.

  41. 41

    @22 If I’m not mistaken, I believe what the NEA opposes is giving taxpayer money to private schools that have no accountability to voters for how the money is spent, what the students are taught, or whether they learn.

  42. 42

    @26 You post nonsense like that and then expect to be taken seriously? Who benefited from Russia’s interference in the 2016 election? Who benefits from Trump’s foreign policy decisions? Don’t bother to answer, everyone knows who Putin’s teddy bear is.

  43. 43

    @38 Meanwhile, Trump short-circuits the military’s judicial system and not only pardons war criminals but orders the services to allow them to stay in the services. That’s only a short step away from ordering courts to find people he doesn’t like guilty. Like the Central Park Five, for example.

  44. 44

    Donald Trump doesn’t pay taxes, and there’s nothing wrong with that, because money-losing businesses don’t owe taxes.

    This is how you get more Trump.

    Not really. The way you get more of The Hump is if you vote for him.

    The statement “This is how you get more Trump”, for reason you continue to state, is like saying that the reason why there are Islamic Radicals in this World is because of people like you, that keep them oppressed and they are just fighting back.

    For one, you, Bob, are trying to place blame where it doesn’t belong, and you are inferring that there is justification for electing an individual like The Hump.

    Bob, you should either denounce The Hump where you think he wrongs or pretty much keep your mouth shut….otherwise, the really looks like you support this guy wholeheartedly whether you say you voted for him not.

    Keep riding that Pony Bob. You are here just to troll. You would think, with your standing, that you would have something better to do in life than troll here. Like fuck your wife (not the horse), or do something, anything, even take up knitting, than hang out here. Aside, you use to criticize others for having no life and posting here as often as they are here, but you are here no less. Get a fucking life. Do something useful in life. God didn’t put you here just to take up space and use up valuable oxygen.

    146,000 pre-orders for the Tesla truck.

    I was not impressed with the towing capacity. To get 14,000# you need to order the 3-motor version and wait until 2022. $70,000

    Our RAM diesel tows 17,500. New in 2016 less than $50k.

    If Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit saved his Barron’s subscription fee for 280 years he would have enough to buy the 3-motor Tesla truck. He’d have to save a few years longer to get one with the catheter waste collection option, tho.

    @ 48

    For one, you, Bob, are trying to place blame where it doesn’t belong…

    That’s rich. For 3 years about half of y’all assholes have blamed me, personally and sometimes exclusively, for Hillary’s loss.

    I never voted for Trump. I spewed hundreds of times in 2015 and 2016 warning y’all about the mistake y’all were making by backing a corrupt, horrid human being as y’all party’s standard-bearer.

    Y’all didn’t listen and face-planted ’cause of it. Don’t fucking blame me for it.

    Think on y’all’s sins.

  51. 51

    “Don’t fucking blame me for it.”

    Fuck you. Anything and everything that is wrong with this world is your fucking fault.

  52. 52

    Bob to post something like you did, that illicits a reaction such as @48 by myself, only to further read thereafter that Steve responded to the same comment (and I haven’t yet been through all the comments yet) followed by Roger making a comment to your comment to Steve’s comment, should tell you something. It should tell you how delusional wrong you are. Again, you are here for no purpose of making the World (or this Country) a better place. You exude that this Country and World (or Earth) should be offering you something. You, and probably people you associate with, if there are any people that would want to associate themselves with you, but those few that would, need help. You are sick selfish minded individuals that thing the World owe you something. The World owes you nothing, not even the oxygen you breath. Really, get a life and do something good for once in your lifetime you Shithead.

    I think I started the term Dumbfuck…..but I think Shithead is more like it, because you really aren’t dumb, but you are full of shit. You got shit for brains.

    I know – the term shithead gives you a perfect lead to make some stupid homophobic comment. But it shows more about what a low life you really are.

  53. 53

    I never voted for Trump.

    $20 tee on etsy.

    Fuck, he could get it tattooed on his face and it won’t make any difference. Dems get to go about their communities with pride that they still put their country ahead of their tribe and work to make things better. Groypers have to pretend to be EEEN-DEEE-PEN-DUNCE, gaze at their shoes, and mouth idiotic platitudes about “the corrupt duopoly” before they rush home to furiously choke-fap to images of Sobbing Guatemalan Toddlers™.

    You did this, Dumbfuck. And you did it mostly to yourself.

  54. 54

    That’s rich. For 3 years about half of y’all assholes have blamed me, personally and sometimes exclusively, for Hillary’s loss.

    That’s rich, as well as nonsense, because I’ve never blamed you exclusively, inclusively, or anyway otherwise for Hillary’s loss.

    Aside, it could have been Bernie, the Socialist, that would have lost too. And then you would be talking about how Democrats choose the wrong candidate regardless, as you are already speaking now for 2020.

    Again, nothing more than a Shithead. Do something respectful for once.

    Stick to the facts….isn’t that what you would want? Factual information?

  56. 56

    It tells me I’m laying down some very effective trolling.

    @55 and you can be trolled back…..the term Dumbfuck, it really bothers you, doesn’t it. Let’s see be a troll or do something to better the World, like say join Faux News, that’s the dilemma in life.

    Be a troll, I don’t have a problem with that, but get your facts right and try to make this World a better place; be a Christian that you say you are. I think you are (other you wouldn’t be telling people you missed Christmas Eve services). That doesn’t mean I think you need Religion or to go to mass, if it isn’t for you, but you still can act like one. I would think that you would think acting like a Christian is good.

    Hospitalized again, and yet still fewer indwelling catheters than Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit currently has.

    Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, four-time cancer survivor, is back in the hospital

    Had Hillary Clinton won that election, Ginsburg likely would have retired by this year, content to be replaced by another liberal associate justice. But with President Donald Trump in the White House, she needs to remain on the court for at least another 14 months – and hope a Democrat defeats him in 2020 – in order deny Trump a third nomination and conservatives a 6-3 majority on the nation’s highest court. Trump named Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh in his first two years in office.

    I think that was the real reason why I logged on this evening, just to confirm that that you would be the first to comment on the Justice. A troll wouldn’t be a one trick pony, amirite?

    Ok, everyone knows what time it is for me….gots to go wash up (already a little behind schedule)…..no Bob, that reply to this would not be very nice of you. Remember Bob, knitting isn’t all that bad.

  60. 60

    @58 I doubt Steve is ever having a beer with you, but I could be wrong. I just don’t think he’s as big of a fan of Putin as you are.

  62. 62

    @49 “If Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit saved his Barron’s subscription fee for 280 years he would have enough to buy the 3-motor Tesla truck.”

    You forgot to compound the capital gains and dividends. But then, you’ve never been good at math. Or trolling.

  63. 63

    @50 “I never voted for Trump. ”

    In that case, your candidate didn’t win, and you’re as big a loser as we thought you were.

    @51 Oh, I wouldn’t say “everything.” His mother has to share some of the blame. She gave birth to him.

  66. 66

    It tells me I’m laying down some very effective trolling.

    It tells me that it has finally begun to sink in how badly the Groypers have harmed themselves. I’ve never seen Bob protest his innocence quite this vehemently before. This all would sting even for one of them living in some Trailer hell like Oklahoma where at least the local school board is 100% Pro-Putin and the arm-fishing is always good.

    But just imagine how this all must feel for Teh Dumbfuck knowing that his best hope to avoid this permanent humiliation involves re-inflating the trailer tires, kicking out the jacks, and heading to Twin Falls. My god. The horror. The horror.

    But most days and nights, if Trump is not on the campaign trail or a foreign trip, he happily stays inside his White House bubble and the residence — working late into the night and very early in the morning.
    https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/24/trump-white-house-residence-power-epicenter-073139

    Not unlike Nixon in that regard as well.

    Suits me fine. Tucked away in the residence he has less opportunity to harm children and insult our allies. And it’s harder for him to conduct his criminal conspiracies in secret if every one of his conspirators is forced to communicate with him on an unsecured mobile phone from an outdoor cafe.

    A Visual History of the #YangMediaBlackout

    I then started to add each new example as a new reply, and that ongoing thread has now been covered over and over again with each new example as a source of entertaining absurdity.

    This is one of the worst. They included Booker, Harris, and Gabbard, all of whom polled at 3%. Oh, and Steyer at 3%. Included Bloomie, who hadn’t even announced but is at 2%, and Bennet at 1%. but not Yang.

    The list of examples @ 81 of Yang’s exclusion is so long it’s really hard to conclude that it is not intentional. While perusing it I just learned that his Q3 donations haul was $10M. That’s a shit ton of money and far more than Beto took in. I heard tons and tons about Beto. Zilch about Yang.

    MSNBC should consider that if they gave Yang more air time people would hear significantly less about Tulsi Gabbard.

    JUST IN: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been discharged from the hospital and “is home and doing well,” the court said.

    Ginsburg was hospitalized this weekend after experiencing a fever and chills.

    PETE BUTTIGIEG FACES BACKLASH AFTER SPEECH AT TEA PARTY EVENT RESURFACES ONLINE: ‘HE’S DONE. ABSOLUTELY DONE’

    In his remarks to the group, which came during his unsuccessful 2010 run for Indiana state treasurer, Buttigieg discussed how he understood the economic concerns of the Tea Party voters and candidates.

    “There are some, especially in my party, who think that the Tea Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party,” Buttigieg said at the time. “But there are many others who believe that the Tea Party is motivated by real concerns about the direction of our government and the responsiveness of our government to citizens—and above all, a frustration with business as usual. That is what motivated me to run,” he continued. “And so, while we may come from often very different perspectives, I believe we might have a lot in common on that front.”

I’m certainly not kept awake at night sobbing into my pillow about “unfairness” in those processes. That’s your bag, man. And your burden.

    And I don’t feign concern over that in a futile hope that it will sow discord in your ranks. As far as I’m concerned, the more cohesive you Republican, racist, pedophile lemmings are the better. It’ll get the whole cliff dive thing over with that much faster.

The sooner they just get it over with, capitulate, and kiss the giant orange ischial callosity the better off we’ll all be. They’ll be happier having a tribe again. And the rest of us can get on with moving the country forward and making life better and more humane for everyone, even if Republicans always resent it when we do.

    There’s really no good reason these assholes can’t find as much satisfaction bathing in the innocent blood of Sobbing Guatemalan Toddlers™ as they all seemed to find burning down the homes and neighborhoods of Iraqi children or crushing the testicles of Muslim toddlers. In the end all these nihilistic ghouls ever really needed was an enemy upon which to inflict suffering. What difference does it make who it is? And how on earth does that choice become elevated to be a moral one?

    They are already well on their way. It looks increasingly like all 63 million of the beer-drunk, hate-filled, “aggrieved” racist wife-beaters who were down with president FingerBang in 2016 are excited to do treason again if only just “to show those damn hippies”. Good. We should want that.

    It’s too bad that it took the last three years to drive the point home, but we are all better off knowing exactly who these motherfuckers are so we can deal with them swiftly and appropriately, if mercifully. Nothing changed. At least not any of the things these assholes claim. Crime didn’t go up. “Meskins” didn’t “tik yer jerbs”, and “fags” didn’t wreck your marriage. Nothing changed except Trump came along and gave them all permission to be themselves in all their toothless, casually cruel, red-hatted glory. They’re hard to miss now. And that’s exactly how we should all want it.

    I’m now in possession of my copy of “A Warning” by Anonymous, and less than a dozen pages in, it’s clear that John McCain’s death and Trump’s behavior in the following days — “when the loss of a good man revealed the true nature of a troubled one” — “led to the writing of this book.” (p. 2)

    The author, as you know, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times a little over a year ago. Since then “the instability within the Trump administration has intensified. One element has remained constant, however. The president still lacks the guiding principles needed to govern our nation and fails to display the rudimentary qualities of leadership should expect of any commander in chief.” (p.5)

    This, of course, is obvious to any who care to see. The real difficulty is not Trump, for he could be easily removed either by impeachment or the 25th Amendment were not those who hold in their hands the power of removal so fearful of his supporters. The real difficulty is the latter, who refuse, for whatever unfathomable reasons to see this charlatan for what he is and what he has brought our country to.

    We, the denizens of HA’s cesspool, know it is useless to reach out to them or try to make understand their error. They have made themselves blind and impervious to reason. So, …

    @129 Well, since that conspiracy theory has already been debunked, good luck with those investigations. Of course, they will play well with the ignorati of your tribe, referenced in #127 above; you can, without skill, get the Fox crowd to believe anything. This has already been amply demonstrated. But you will not get the college-educated suburbanites, the women, the blacks or Latinos or Asians or Muslims, or the 51% who think Trump should be impeached and removed, or the 54% who won’t vote for him under any circumstances.

    Of course, validating a debunked conspiracy theory is not their purpose. These investigations will serve the same purpose as all the rest of Trumpland’s favorite conspiracy theories: To distract attention away from the real conspiracies and the train wreck of this administration.

    And you will be there, hooting and whistling and cheering the train wreck on, like someone who enjoys seeing houses burn down and the like, and even throws gasoline into the fire to prolong the entertainment. Because that’s how dumbfucks are.

How wonderful!

    So all I can say is I wish them all the luck! And I hope they are granted everything they are asking for.

    I’m guessing it’s because it spent the hundreds of millions of dollars on union employees.

    Colorado has spent hundreds of millions to help kids read. Now, it will spend up to $5.2 million to find out why it’s not working.

    But the state didn’t have the authority to delve into districts’ budget details.

    “In the past, there wasn’t any language that outlined that authority,” Cobb said.

    “The department does not have data regarding how the [districts or schools] actually used those READ Act per-pupil funds,” state officials wrote in response to a question from WestEd.

    @143 “Hangin'” isn’t the right word. He’s there only because duty — and a leash — requires him to be. He clearly isn’t enjoying it. The reason is obvious. Dogs can smell shit from a mile away. That’s why Trump, unlike most other presidents, doesn’t have a dog — that, and the fact he has no more empathy for animals than he does for people. Don’t be surprised if Trump kicks this dog in the ribs before the morning is over. After all, that’s how he treats our war heroes, Gold Star families, former POWs, and service chiefs, when he’s not busy pardoning war criminals.

    I’ve recognized this election as legitimate from the beginning, even though Trump invited Russia’s illegal intervention, even though he lost the popular vote by millions, even though he’s been a way-beyond-awful president. Moreover, I’ve never suggested impeaching him because I don’t like him or his policies. To the contrary, I explicitly draw a distinction between that — for which the remedy is voting him out of office — and impeachment, which is the means by which Congress fires a president for misconduct in office. Notwithstanding Republican bleating about “a coup” and “overturning the will of the voters,” the Democrats initiated their impeachment inquiry because of the latter, not the former, and acted with restraint until there was overwhelming and indisputable evidence of actual misconduct personally committed by the president himself.

    @143 The stock market is more than a little fascinating these days. It’s going up while economic fundamentals continue to deteriorate. (For example, the Fed expects U.S. GDP growth to drop from 1.9% last quarter to 0.4% this quarter, despite an uptick in the housing sector.) Why is the market so happy these days? Well, irrationality, for one thing. A study of stock market history would show it doesn’t move in lockstep with the economy; in fact it’s quite often disconnected from economic reality, not infrequently going up while the economy is going down. But the current rally is relatively easy to explain: It’s a product of irrational investor optimism combined with the knock-on effects in the financial markets of the Fed flooding the banking system with cash injections following the collapse of the repo market two months ago. In other words, the Fed’s efforts to repair the interbank overnight lending system are artificially juicing stocks. Did you notice the big boys aren’t buying this rally? The world’s largest hedge fund just bet over $1 billion on a market decline in the next three months. Would you like to bet against that trade, Dumbfuck? Go ahead, they’ll gladly take your coin.

    Yeah right.
    Teh Dumbfuck’s latest troll.
    Associate Justice GangBang gonna BeerBong the Dems 2018 mid-terms.
    The Dairy Queen Pedophiles gonna SWEEP yer Senate special elections.
    Trump gonna Lock-Her-Up McCabe.
    Horowitz gonna Lock-Her-Up Comey.
    Horowitz gonna Lock-Her-Up the whole FBI.
    UkraineGate is all FAKENEWS gonna Blow Up!
    And now Trump gonna C’Ville DeathCar the Huey Newton vote in 2020.

    Yup, shur thing.

    And to prove it he gives us yet another thin analysis from VOX that for all its length cites but a single longitudinal voter study from just eight states, half of which are small rurals with 5 or fewer EVs the other four of which are not swings, three are solid blue, and only the third is trending blue.

    So… Trump gonna win back Pennsylvania by conquering the Angela Davis vote in…. Virginia?

    African American voters are not a fucking monolith. I’m pleased however if Republicans think they are. If Brad Pubescale is doing more than just producing events to create pleasing optics for guilty racists that’s good. Especially if he’s doing it in a way that assumes a retired African American public employee in Minneapolis has exactly the same politics as an African American single mom working two jobs while going to school in Michigan. Based on current models both have a similar likelihood of voting next November. Only one of those votes will be decisive in the outcome.

    ProTip: it’s not the vote being measured by Catalyst Analytics.

    “New administrators at the district, forced by the Colorado Board of Education in November to hire an outside management consultant, said they’ve discovered the reading curriculum they were using was ineffective and not suited to the district’s heavily bilingual student population. ”

    How many read this and assume the racist incel wanting to use this to pit the locals against the immigrants?

    Show of hands. how many think that Moscow Mitch is going to wait till after the election to replace a Supreme Court Justice, like last time?

    158,
    What ought to be of greater concern to Trumpers is that according to Catalist, and even with their adjustment model which some argue over-measures old white uneducated voters, they still see a substantial and sustained surge in voting among racial and ethnic minorities and among young people never previously measured in their data going back to 2008.

    There are obviously serious problems with trying to use mid-term data to predict party movement ahead of a national general election. People are mostly seeing local Congressional candidates on their ballots, or state races. Partisan polarization is not as evident. And for any given sort by race sampling, turnout still skews much older. So the correlation to party shift is weak and full of noise.

    There’s always “some evidence” of any goddamn thing anyone wants to see. And if angry white racists want to see African Americans lining up to support their abuse, they can see that. But other than Diamond and Silk, that’s probably not an actual thing. And perhaps even more importantly, however much that thing is being measured in Iowa or New Hampshire, it may not tell us anything at all about what will happen in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

    Teh Dumbfuck neeeeeds to believe that Dems are going to lose African American voters so he can be spared having to think about the GOP losing suburban white women. That’s a shift that will go waaay beyond Dino Rossi and wind up right at the feet of Susan Collins. The same people VOX relies upon to speculate here also concluded that Trump’s improbable 2016 victory was built out of a rickety assembly of latent resentments concentrated among older, uneducated white people. The evidence emerging from actual elections since then is that this fragile assembly has already begun to fall apart. They won’t be replacing it with Blacks for Trump.

    And I don’t mean to pick on Catalist. Their machine learning tech has been enormously useful in steering registration and recruitment in a bunch of key states in the last couple of years. But their products are not cheap and their alignment is far more oriented toward great big huge campaigns with tons of money.

    “…affluent, elite, healthy, and highly educated coastal progressives.”

  164. 164

    @163 Well, naturally educated people tend to earn more, so are more likely to be healthy (better diet) and affluent, and what’s wrong with living in a coastal state? Nothing, unless you’re talking about the southeastern and Gulf coastal communities that vote red and get their subsidized flood insurance from the government because insuring their property against destructive storms is too risky and unprofitable for private insurance companies.

    163,
    stuck in 1950 with an ossified image of African American voters living in high rise public housing and working as doormen, or living in shotgun shacks and share cropping.

    So I guess that means all the white folks are named Ralph or Archie, live in Queens, and work at the tool and die, right? Or maybe they’re named Ward, live in the ‘burbs and drive in to Mayfield to work at the regional office?

    The world has moved on without them, and they are no longer capable of understanding it. Their biggest grievance of all. That black kid with dreads he was so scared of the other night that he crossed the street? He’s an EE/MBA works at Adobe and he was born in Kamloops. Into LARPing. Listens to Taylor Swift.

    From what I have read, it seems clear that President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was subjected to a shakedown — pressured to become a foreign participant in President Trump’s re-election campaign, a violation of the law.

    My GOD! The DERP STATE got to him too!

  168. 168

    I will agree with the racist incel that MSNBC is breathlessly gushing over the rich white billionaire ex republican for president from New York in a way they did not promote Yang.

  169. 169

    @167 Slade Gorton is what Republicans used to be — rich, snobbish, not very pleasant to be around, and with little or no understanding of working people — but not reeking to high heaven of lies and corruption.

    Oh, for the good old days, when all we had to do was beat them in fair elections. Before gerrymandering, voter suppression, and Russian interference submerged our democracy in the swamp of fetid Republicanism that exists today.

    in which Trump’s support among black respondents was 34%.

    Some Gay people are stupid enough to vote for The Hump or any other Repuke. Why should the blacks, yes the Blacks, as in the gays, be any smarter – let them hang themselves as you gloat and watch and blow hot air from your shithead.

  171. 171

    @170. Gay people who voted for trump thought republican policies wouldn’t hurt them.

  173. 173

    @171 aside from being shortsighted in thinking that life is all about money. And with that said, they too are a bit racist/sexist/bigoted in thinking that all the Mexicans and Blacks are stealing from them.

  174. 174

    With that (@173) said.

    I think Democrats need to keep from straying to far left. I pretty much call myself a liberal, but maybe only because it was branded on me by Repukes that love their Brother P-Touch Label maker.

    I really think that I am a Moderate, I do think things can go too far left. I don’t necessarily disagree with the “progressive” polices of Free education and medicare for all, I just think that it should be thought out more clearly and changes made to make it more affordable in various ways, but not be completely “Free”. The world changes and the needs change and the policies need to change and progress.

    I am not a fan of Mayor DeBlasio, thank god he dropped out. He is the worst, but I don’t disagree with everything he does or his ideology. I don’t think he’s done enough to prevent and police waste, aside from corruption. I am not opposed to doling out services but they need to be managed properly and not overly wasted with a blind eye.

  175. 175

    @174 When you consider that the three richest people in this country have more net worth than 50% of the population, taxing the wealthy to provide free education and medicare for all doesn’t seem quite as far-fetched. Not advocating, just sayin’.

  176. 176

    At 173 should read I think they think life…

    I forgot the “they think”. Just in case Puffy is resurrected and he wants to tell me what I didn’t mean to say

  177. 177

    @175 agreed.

    Some of what pisses me off, that kind of proved my comment, is the way DeBlasio is dealing with the homeless, or San Fran is handling it or even Seattle, with people living in tents, shitting in the streets, and littering.

    4 years ago I didn’t like it and I wrote DeBlasio’s office to say how I think it wasn’t being handled Incorrectly – I’d go on into further detail explain what I mean but I have to get going now to get ready for work. Maybe I can continue at another time.

    I didn’t have some expectations regarding that name, but
    the longer I was astonished. The author did a great job.
    I spent a couple of minutes studying and assessing the facts.
    Everything is very clear and understandable.

  180. 180

    What a great post! I spend a few moments on studying, and I am so excited about the advice I obtained.
    It is really tough to find something valuable on that topic.
    However, this writer seems to be a true professional
    since there’s a special personality in his writings.
    I’m going to sign up for his new books, simply not to skip anything.
    This informative article worths its own reading.

  181. 181

    It is clear that the writer is a data geek. I enjoy how he writes and writes
    facts. It’s always such a pleasure to read posts created by
    real professionals. I am fed up with that no-name, ghostwritten articles.
    That’s the reason it was so pleasant to
    take a look at a persuasive piece.

  182. 182

    I had been looking for that topic for a few times across the nest, however there was
    not anything precious. So pleased to reach your post in the
    end. I’m excited about this subject, and I need to be always conscious of the latest news.

  183. 183

    Frankly, I suppose such posts should be printed and more
    because of the present situation and modern requirements of their
    Millenials. I eagerly read them to get some fresh information that will correspond to my needs.
