Did Obama Spy on Trump? | RealClearPolitics

I'm posting a 14-month old article for the obvious reason that the answer to this question now seems quite clear. John Brennan and James Clapper have gone on countless (friendly) television shows and talked all about how the wiretapping and whatnot was justified. They're not even denying it anymore, like they were when this op-ed was written!! Clapper even referred to their surveillance as a "good thing" on CNN, which should come as a shock to exactly none of you. My wish is that the people who are so interested in foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election despite limited evidence would show even a fraction of interest in the domestic interference because there is mounting evidence....

Stopping Robert Mueller to protect us all

"Rather than a fair, limited and impartial investigation, the Mueller investigation became a partisan, open-ended inquisition that, by its precedent, is a threat to all those who ever want to participate in a national campaign or an administration again... Its prosecutions have all been principally to pressure witnesses with unrelated charges and threats to family, or just for a public relations effect, like the indictment of Russian internet trolls." Couldn't have said it better myself, former Bill Clinton pollster Mark Penn...

Gunman at Trump Golf Club in Florida Is Shot by the Police

The worst part of this story is that one side will blame Trump's rhetoric while the other side will blame the media's, thus ensuring that absolutely nothing will change.

Trump ramps up rhetoric on undocumented immigrants: 'These aren't people. These are animals.'

This is why my side screams "fake news". This right here. I can't think of a headline more inaccurate and misleading than this one. It is disgraceful, it's very close to libel, and I couldn't be any less surprised. Nobody with higher than a third grade education can listen to his full quote in context and believe that he's talking about anyone other than the gang criminals to which he was actually referring. But our media has long ago crossed from journalism into advocacy, and we're a poorer nation for it. It's why my side treats the media with such contempt. Because they've earned it.

About That FBI ‘Source’

Who is paying Michael Avenatti?

Mark Penn seems poised to travel the "Dick Morris" route. A former member of Bill Clinton's inner circle, he seems to have made a heel turn and is asking really some very basic questions. And since Daniels has verified on Twitter that she is NOT the one paying the very expensive Michael Avenatti, then who is? If our media is to give this guy an unchallenged platform to fling feces wherever he pleases, shouldn't we at least know who's shit he's throwing? Now if we actually had a functioning news media in this country, these questions would have already been asked and answered, but...

Mueller’s Tough Week in Court | National Review

"By indicting Russian businesses that belong to a Kremlin-connected defendant who cannot be forced to leave Russia, Mueller risked exactly what has happened: one of the businesses showing up to contest the case at no risk, in effect forcing Mueller to show this Kremlin-connected defendant what he’s got, even though he has no chance of getting the Kremlin-connected defendant convicted and sentenced to prison." It's a great read though a long one. And just as I have little doubt that Russia did their best to interfere in the 2016 election, I have even less doubt that Mueller (hopefully inadvertently) gave Putin an opening to meddle here, and he took it. Because that's what scoundrels do; they see opportunity and they capitalize. This is about as big of a rake as one can step on. So let's start talking about the adult film star again, and maybe Trump will tweet something stupid so we can ignore the story entirely....

Connecticut To Give Its Electoral College Votes To National Popular Vote Victor

Not to rain on HuffPo's parade here, but this "National Popular Vote" interstate compact - the constitutionality of which will no doubt be challenged - is rapidly approaching its inevitable ceiling. Any intellectually honest liberal will tell you (but perhaps only over adult beverages and off the record) that this initiative is an obvious end-run around that pesky Constitution. Which means that any state with enough Republicans will never sign onto it. And even if the very blue states of Oregon, Vermont, Minnesota, and New Hampshire were to join this group, that still puts them at only 196 electoral votes. Throw in Maryland and Colorado and New Mexico as well, and it's still only at 210. Sorry folks, the Electoral college is not going anywhere.

Rosie O'Donnell illegally exceeded campaign contribution limits

When conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza does it, he gets fined and does hard time, even though prison is rarely a punishment for such a minor crime. Even D'Souza's brown skin couldn't save him!! But Rosie O'Donnell will pay no real price, and I think she knew that going in. Because she knows that if the Feds go after her for this, it'll be TRUMP'S Feds. And the fact that the FEC is largely an independent organization will be lost in the coverage. Because her heart is in the right place, you see. Liberal privilege. It's a thing.
