Too brown? You're a special kind of stupid sometimes. A good chunk of the world isn't nearly as far left as the U.S. has fallen, so that isn't a problem either.

Given the opportunity, I would likely move somewhere with as little government intrusion as possible. Preferably warm(ish). Costa Rica maybe? There's a lot of eastern bloc countries where the government is barely there and the dollar goes a long ways, and they aren't stupid cold. At one point Estonia had a 10:1 exchange rate I doubt know where it's at now. Not an option now though, I'm stuck here.


I'm boatless.

Estonia is the place for you Carl. That's where Linkovich Chomovsky is from.

Alternative Facts Universe

Comedians everywhere are returning to school to take creative writing courses as they all realize they can never come up with material this good for their acts.

I understand now. The Trump administration is right about everything.

It is not their fault that their facts appear to be quite different from what is happening in the universe where most people live. They did not ask to come here. Something went wrong with the timeline, is all. Somebody stepped on a butterfly, and here we are.

When we look at their recently provided list of times when the media failed to cover Horrible Acts Of Terrorism, what we see is a long series of misspellings in which, often, zero people died.

The Bowling Green Massacre, something Kellyanne Conway mentioned in multiple interviews, is a real thing that happened. The carnage was unbelievable — not in the sense that it is here, where we don’t believe that there was any carnage. In the other sense.

The “inner cities” are unbelievable. In that universe, any time people in the nightmarish hellscape of the inner city leave their homes, they are instantly shot. Every time. You cannot go to the store without being shot. People sit huddled in their homes waiting to draw straws as to who will leave the house first, as whoever does so is inevitably killed. It’s awful. If we could only see what is happening in that universe, we would agree with sending in the feds.

In that universe, you need guns in your schools to protect from bear attacks, which are CONSTANT.

Maybe Schwantz and Todd are taking classes too.

Here's a story Todd will really enjoy.


Ted Cruz: ‘The Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan’


In 2013, Virginia state Sen. Stephen Martin said that the Democratic Party created the hate group. Martin later released a statement saying he “regretted the carelessness and inaccuracy of his comments,” according to PolitiFact.

Georgia white supremacist under FBI investigation after police find evidence of ricin in his car

William Christopher Gibbs, a 27-year-old man from Fannin County, Georgia is under FBI investigation after driving himself to the hospital last week, claiming he came into contact with the deadly substance ricin.

Gibbs’ Facebook profile indicates the 27-year-old white man is a member of the Georgia Church Of Creativity C.A and is a self-identified “White Racial Loyalist.” A profile photo on his account writes as the caption, “100 years from now when someone finds one of these trees thay [sic] will know that there was once a White Race.”

Travel ban ruling: In court as on Twitter, Trump confronts evidence gap

The list of evidence-free claims from President Trump and his administration is long and growing. “Millions” of people voted illegally. Inauguration turnout was the “biggest ever.” All negative polls are “fake news.”

Trump’s defiance might work well as political theater, and there’s no denying that it made for an effective presidential campaign. But as a legal strategy, it’s already hitting roadblocks. The first came last week, when a federal judge froze his controversial executive order shutting U.S. borders to refugees and migrants from seven mostly Muslim countries. But the real blow came Thursday, when an appeals court upheld that freeze. In a unanimous opinion, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit found that the government had failed to show why the travel ban needed to be immediately reinstated. To arrive at that decision, the appeals court did something close to what fact-checkers, journalists, scholars and others do every day when Trump and his surrogates make extraordinary claims: It demanded extraordinary evidence — or at least some evidence — for the administration’s arguments.

And it got none, the judges said.

A week's supply of baloney

"We're writing about a president who makes quite a number of misstatements," said Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post reporter whose regular fact checks award "Pinocchios" based on the magnitude and brazenness of false claims. "This has increased our workload and increased the level of interest in fact-checking."

The number of unique visitors to Kessler's web page in January was 50 percent higher than in October, its previous busiest month, and 15 times greater than in January 2013, he said.

The Associated Press routinely publishes AP Fact Checks on political discourse. Last week, the AP premiered an aggregation of disputed political statements under the headline, "A week's supply of baloney." A separate fact check on Conway's false claim of a Bowling Green "massacre" on Thursday was the most-read story on the APNews.com website Friday. Similarly, on Monday, readers spent more time with a story examining President Donald Trump's claim about the media underplaying incidents of terrorism than they did with any other news item that day.

Todd hates this guy. That means he knows what he's talking about. Listen to him. Or else...

When the Fire Comes

What will you do when terrorists attack, or U.S. friction with some foreign power turns into a military confrontation? I don’t mean in your personal life, where you should keep calm and carry on. I mean politically. Think about it carefully: The fate of the republic may depend on your answer.

Of course, nobody knows whether there will be a shocking, 9/11-type event, or what form it might take. But surely there’s a pretty good chance that sometime over the next few years something nasty will happen — a terrorist attack on a public place, an exchange of fire in the South China Sea, something. Then what?
__________
Unfortunately, the suspension of critical thinking ended as such suspensions usually do — badly. The Bush administration exploited the post-9/11 rush of patriotism to take America into an unrelated war, then used the initial illusion of success in that war to ram through huge tax cuts for the wealthy.
__________
Every day brings further evidence that this is a man who completely conflates the national interest with his personal self-interest, and who has surrounded himself with people who see it the same way. And each day also brings further evidence of his lack of respect for democratic values.
__________
In the end, I fear, it’s going to rest on the people — on whether enough Americans are willing to take a public stand. We can’t handle another post-9/11-style suspension of doubt about the man in charge; if that happens, America as we know it will soon be gone.

Where have Schwantz and Todd disappeared too? Are they investigating massive voter fraud?

Trump Again Falsely Insists He Would Have Won New Hampshire If Not For Voter Fraud

According to a source briefed on the discussion, Trump told Ayotte that she would have won re-election had she not been critical of him during the course of the campaign. He then alluded to thousands of people who supposedly went into New Hampshire illegally to vote against both him and Ayotte, saying they both would have won “if there hadn’t been voter fraud” in the state. The source called the exchange “uncomfortable.” It was first reported by Politico and independently confirmed by The Huffington Post.


Isn't Sparky from NH? Wasn't he a member of the tin foil hat brigade? Schwantz and Todd should work with him as he knows where the NH fever swamps are.

Back in October I receive a note thanking me for staying on top of things. I replied, "If Hillary wins, Todd, et al. will be screeching for months about rigged elections, finally filling Scalia's seat, etc.

If Trump wins they'll be beating their chests while waving their favorite firearms. It'll take a couple of years for them to realize how much more screwed they are with him but they'll never admit it."

Was I wrong. With the disappearance of Schwantz and Todd, it looks like it only took two weeks. They still won't admit it though.

Trump has turned the US government into a circus.
The rest of the world is buying popcorn.


I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
---Buffalo Springfield

From the department of “You can’t make this **** up”:

Aides to Donald Trump say that the President is employing food tasters out of a fear of being poisoned, and has been for some time. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity.

Apparently this practice predates the election.

“Trump knows how many people utterly despise him,” one aide said, “and has for a long time.” “One night on the plane he told us that beginning immediately he would only eat in restaurants that didn’t employ any Mexicans.”

Apparently the impracticality of that demand was completely lost on The Donald.

“Priebus told him that his restriction would eliminate every restaurant in America as an option,” confirmed an aide. “Trump said that if that was the case he wanted all food to be ordered carry-out and anonymously.”

Once food was brought back to the campaign, the tycoon made a big show of making sure that everybody got their food and had begun eating before he started.

“He tried to pretend that he was looking out for the little guy. ‘The Donald doesn’t eat until everybody else is fed,’ he liked to say. But we knew what was really going on. And frankly, we were just as glad the food orders were being placed and picked up anonymously.”

Yeah, but nowhere near this level. The thought of having some sort of actual crisis in this chaos is pretty scary. Olbermann is pretty far left, but he makes a pretty comprehensive list of the mayhem and lies that have taken place so far.

Alternative Facts

Proving that he's still controlled by his image-conscious ego, Trump offered a new version of the voter fraud lie. According to Politico, Trump blamed his loss of the state of New Hampshire on "thousands” of people who were 'brought in on buses' from neighboring Massachusetts to 'illegally' vote." Once again, he refused to provide any documentation of the claim.

Facts

The allegation was noticed the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). Ellen Weintraub, a George W. Bush appointee to the commission, made a public request for Trump to fess up. Her letter said in part that:

"President Trump has alleged an astonishing voter-fraud scheme [that] would constitute thousands of felony criminal offenses. [And that] democracy rests on the faith of the American people in the integrity of their elections. [...] I therefore call upon President Trump to immediately share his evidence with the public and with the appropriate law-enforcement authorities so that his allegations may be investigated promptly and thoroughly."
