The Russians of course. They are some sneaky bastards. They play both sides of the fence.

There is just too much schadenfreude here for one man, I thought I should share. Megan Kelly's little show on NBC has hit new lows. This is especially gratifying as NBC is reputed to have paid her $20,000,000.

From the Variety article:

"Earlier in the night at 7 p.m. on NBC, “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly” drew a 0.4 rating and 3.1 million viewers, the newsmagazine’s lowest total viewer number since it debuted at the beginning of June. Kelly also matched a series low in the key demo."

CNN Report: Millions Of American Voters May Have Colluded To Elect Trump
July 13, 2017

U.S.—A new, exclusive CNN investigative report revealed Thursday that millions of American voters may have potentially colluded with the Trump campaign to elect Donald Trump as President of the United States.

While Russia has been accused of interfering in the election, the breaking report indicates that the collusion may have extended to a significant portion of the U.S. population—“as many as 60 million citizens, and possibly even more.”

“The conspiracy goes much deeper than anyone expected,” Jake Tapper said on his news segment The Politics Lead. “We’re talking tens of millions of people involved in this secret plot to make sure Hillary didn’t make it into the White House and to prop up Donald Trump as the winner.”

The CNN report does not accuse anyone of hacking or rigging the vote, but rather suggests that those colluding with the real estate mogul in the far-reaching scheme may have simply walked into voting booths and cast their vote for Donald Trump, giving him the electoral college victory.

“It’s far more sinister than we thought,” a visibly disturbed Tapper said.

nota bene - Babylon Bee is a Christian News Satire site. So eminently more reliable than CNN.

OMG! That sounds like the vast right wing conspiracy that has been harassing the Clintons for decades!

I knew it! The conspiracy nuts are bound to be right some of the time. Stopped clocks and all that.

My Goodness!! This goes right to the top!

That was awesome!

Susan Rice refused to testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the unmasking events that she "knew nothing about".

Now she has postpones a meeting with the House Intel Committee.

Not that these committees get them to admit much, but it would be good to have her on the record that she didn't do anything, then later hit her w the actual documents that she did. Assuming we can get them from the Obama Library.

Mitch McConnell needs to stop screwing around and lay the hammer down.

Republicans calculate that at the current rate, it will take 11 years and four months to fill all possible Trump administration spots at an average of three and a half days spent considering each nominee.

Democrats are requiring that Republicans check all the procedural boxes on most nominees, even those they intend to eventually support. That requires the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, to request a formal “cloture” vote to move forward.

An “intervening day” is then required to allow the cloture request to “ripen.” Next is a vote to impose cloture followed by 30 hours of “post-cloture” debate before a final vote. Democrats have refused to shorten the debate time — to “yield back,” in the parlance of the Senate — though in most cases there is little to debate.

Trump needs to take a cue from the Crimson Kenyan and just start making Recess appointments. That should really make the libs heads explode.

Maybe you can put that in the Suggestion Box.

All we need is nominees for each office and a long enough recess.

And if the republicans had any balls they would eliminate any rule that is being deliberately abused in order to obstruct the administration on purely political grounds. But they won't because they hate Trump as much as the democrats. And please, no "what about when the shoe is on the other foot" because if you think the democrats wouldn't eliminate any rule that may slow down the next democratic president if the opposition party tried this you haven't been paying attention. They made that mistake last time and won't do it again I guarantee it. This is NOT government when the opposition can completely obstruct not only the president but both houses of congress, the whole while usurping the clear mandate from the American people do go in a certain direction. These rules, these "traditions" were never put in place to be absolutely abused. They need to go.

Justices allow strict enforcement of Trump refugee ban

Published July 19, 2017 Associated Press

Victory for Trump as parts of travel ban go into effect

The Supreme Court is granting the Trump administration's request to more strictly enforce its ban on refugees, at least until a federal appeals court weighs in.

But the justices are leaving in place a lower court order that makes it easier for travelers from six mostly Muslim countries to enter the United States.

The administration had appealed last week's ruling by U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson that required the government to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States. Watson also vastly expanded the family relations that refugees and visitors can use to get into the country.

The high court on Wednesday blocked Watson's order as it applies to refugees, but not the expanded list of relatives. The justices said the federal appeals court in San Francisco should now consider the appeal. It's not clear how quickly that will happen.

In the meantime, though, up to 24,000 refugees who already have been assigned to a charity or religious organization in the U.S. will not be able to use that connection to get into the country.

The Supreme Court also denied the administration's request to clarify its ruling last month that allowed the administration to partially reinstate a 90-day ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen and a 120-day ban on refugees from anywhere in the world.

The court's ruling exempted a large swath of refugees and travelers with a "bona fide relationship" with a person or an entity in the U.S. The justices did not define those relationships but said they could include a close relative, a job offer or admission to a college or university.

Watson's order added grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins to a list that already included a parent, spouse, fiance, son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the U.S. The expanded list of relatives remains in effect.

Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas would have blocked Watson's order in its entirety. Those same three justices said last month they would have allowed the Trump travel ban to take full effect.

What about next time when the shoe is on the other foot?

The Dems looked into the abyss on their judgeships when the shoe was on their foot, sized up the situation and decided to change the rules. That got them some judges through, and at the next opportunity, the shoe moved to the other foot. Emboldened by that precedence, the foot the shoe was on changed the rules once more to suit them, and got a Supreme Court seat for their pains. I bet the Dems don't like that, and are very nervous about a couple more seats at risk.

I suppose we are about to experience a race to the bottom, where each party says, "Oh, yeah? Well watch this!"

Where does it end?

We are already there, and regardless of what the GOP does, the Dems will not be restrained the next time they are in power. The GOP shouldn't hold back as if "playing nice" will in any way prevent that.

As I recall, when the shoe was on the other foot, President Obama's picks to fill the Obama administration largely sailed through.

We are already there if you have been paying attention. It ends when we get congressmen and senators who care more about the country than their tiny faction of supporters. On both sides. And that is not happening any time soon. I bet the dems don't care at all we got a SC nominee through. They learn from their mistakes and trust me they will go full out the next time they have power. If you honestly think the modern democratic party will pull ANY punches the next time they are in power you are naive. Look at their up and coming leadership. Do they look like people who will be swayed by "tradition" and "be careful what you wish for?" speeches? Not in the least. Look how they are manipulating and abusing the rules right now. You are ok with this? These rules were meant to protect the minority part from an abusive majority party, and they are being used for the exact opposite. As they are not being used as intended they need to be removed.

The politics of the past is OVER. It is full out political war and the democrats are doing a hell of a better job precisely because they care not of "tradition" and "shoes on the other foot." They are always referred to as GDC's and guess what? Those GDC's don't care about rules, or traditions, or consequences. The next time they get to put a stranglehold on power you better believe they will no matter what rule they have to change.

You can't do anything about the past. We have only the present and the uncertain future to deal with.

Trump just needs to lay low and stay off twitter and realize hes got a 36% approval rating.
