CNN, fixated on Trump-Russian collusion hoax for three years, says AG Barr is fixated on Joseph Mifsud

Can't make this shit up.

Where is Joseph Mifsud anyway?

Journalists and Democrats, but I repeat myself, sure seem uninterested in the mystery man.

There they are again: 47% say the Democrat Party has moved too far to the left


That's all? Why isn't that 74%?

Not a good sign. Not a good sign at all.

I'm guessin' Katie Hill shuts this thing down sooner rather than later

Democrat House member Katie Hill of California may have bigger problem than multiple sexual partners both male and female while married to man: She might be a Nazi

Shocking photographs of Democrat Katie Hill posing naked with a tattoo of what appears to be a Nazi-era Iron Cross on her bikini line while smoking a bong and making out with her young female aide have been obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com ...

In a letter to her constituents on Wednesday, Hill admitted the relationship with her 24-year-old female aide but she did not name Desjardins. ... 

'Allegations that I have been involved in a relationship with Mr. Kelly are absolutely false,' Hill said in a statement to website Politico. Hill continued: 'I am saddened that the deeply personal matter of my divorce has been brought into public view and the vindictive claims of my ex have now involved the lives and reputations of unrelated parties.'

Story.

"Nazi-era".

What is she, like 106? Escaped the Night of the Long Knives?

In 2018 68% of Americans couldn't afford a vacation, a concert, a ball game or even dinner out and a movie

Here at home, we see the ever-widening gap in our wealthiest cities — New York, San Francisco, LA — which are suffering from homeless crises of epic proportions. Forty percent of Americans don’t have $400 saved in case of emergency. Last year, 68 percent couldn’t afford a ­recreational activity — from a vacation to concerts to a professional sporting event to even dinner or a movie — for lack of funds.

This year, the Census Bureau reported that the gap between the rich and poor has hit its highest level in the 50-plus years since they began marking it. Adjusting for inflation, the average household income is the same as it was 20 years ago. The average American can’t afford to buy a house in 70 percent of the country.

Trump puts Limbaugh Theorem into action: It's a scandal he's not in charge of personnel in his own administration, but somehow NeverTrumpers keep getting hired to serve in it and Trump has nothing to do with it

This incompetence is the most embarrassing thing about Trump, and the most disappointing.

He still hasn't fixed this, and he never will, even if reelected.

You can't fix stupid.


The rising share of workers not making the average wage

Note that under Bill Clinton, many important things happened which were detrimental to the middle class:

Bill Clinton raised taxes shortly after taking office in 1993 even though he had run promising not to.

Part-time employment soared as a result. 

Borrowing from home equity lines also soared as the middle class struggled to maintain its lifestyle in the wake of the recent recession, reducing "owners' equity in real estate" dramatically.

And, of course, the percentage of Americans not making the raw average wage ballooned by 2.6 points under Clinton, and by 4.1 points total by 2018.  

The difference between a payroll population not making the raw average wage in 2018 at 63.3% vs. 67.4% is 6.87 million.

That's roughly equivalent to the number of homes lost to foreclosure in the housing debacle, which bottomed in the spring of 2012. The share not making the average wage first hit 67% that same year.

This history since 1990 is a picture of the middle class under pressure and actually shrinking.

The only good thing that can be said about it is that the trend is flat since 2015, not worsening.

Excuse me Damon Linker, Democrats actually colluded with Ukraine to dig up dirt on their political rival Donald Trump in 2016, so spare me the handwringing about Trump trying to expose it

But over the past several months, the wheels have come off the Trump administration. Whether that's because responsible grown-ups resigned and were replaced by partisan hacks or because staffers have been ground down by struggling to contain an ignorant and angry president for months and years at a time is something that presidential historians will try to answer once all of this is behind us. What's clear in the present is that by this past summer, Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani set out to warp and subvert American foreign policy, turning it into an arm of the president's conspiracy-addled re-election campaign. The plan was to force a vastly weaker foreign government into colluding with the campaign for the purpose of digging up dirt on the president's political rival.

The rest of his bilge is here.

Joe Biden has been lying for a decade that a drunk driver killed his first wife and child

Police determined that Biden’s first wife drove into the path of Dunn’s tractor-trailer, possibly because her head was turned and she didn’t see the oncoming truck. Dunn, who overturned his rig while swerving to avoid a collision, ran to the wrecked car and was the first to render assistance. Police filed no charges against Dunn, who at that time lived in North East, Md. with his wife, Ruby, and their seven children. Biden has been alluding to alcohol being involved in the crash for nearly a decade. During a speech in 2001, Biden told an audience at University of Delaware that a drunken driver crashed into his family. He told a similar story during a public appearance in 2007. More recently, the vice presidential candidate’s misrepresentation of Dunn has found its way into major newspapers, including the New York Times. It also has been repeated on radio and on television by major news journalists, including CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric.

At least he didn't say she was killed because she was pregnant.
