is larry kudlow drunk?

I'm guessing it was the prelude to the heart attack he suffered tonight.

[bluesoul]

according to paul begley, it was actually "illuminati assassins" using "heart attack guns"; then throws in a bunch of "what-about-all-these" suspects into the mix because it could be caused by any number of those things. you just never know these days

[bluesoul]

also: is dennis rodman drunk?

[bluesoul]

i wonder why it took the NY AG this long to bring about a lawsuit against trump and family about their b.s. charity org. i know a lot of 'pedes' are going to see this as another attack on GEOTUS from the deep state but c'mon, you honestly can't believe trump is charitable can you? i think that's the one thing we can all agree trump is not

Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary invoked the Bible to defend the Trump administration’s immigration policy of separating mothers from their children.
She was speaking at Thursday’s White House briefing, in response to a question about comments made by the attorney general Jeff Sessions, where he cited a passage in the Bible to justify the policy.
“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order,” said Sessions.

Because the Bible takes precedence over the Constitution and the law. But a most unusual 'Christian government that separates children from their parents and parks them in the desert in their thousands...

It looks like the Trumpnuts' takeover of the Republican Party is about complete, though I guess the positive is that these types are less likely to win close contests in the midterms . https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...istance-644721

Even the sensible ones seem to be cracking on the Mueller probe, and obviously the Inspector-General's report on the FBI won't help. Wtf was Peter Strzok thinking?

As more material emerges it appears that Aaron Banks and Nigel Farage used their Leave.EU campaign organization during the EU referendum to co-ordinate with the Russians and the Republican campaign in the US. The more this material emerges, the less coincidental it appears to be, with the additional link between Farage and Russian stooge Julian Assange. Aaron Banks and spokesman for Leave.EU Andy Wigmore appear to have lied to Parliament, but probably don't care about that as they show contempt for the 'establishment' on the basis that their loyalty is to 'the people' who voted Leave. The problem is not that the Russians were interested in the Referendum, so, I assume were China, Angola and Argentina, but there seems to have been no contact with those three or messages of support such as the one sent to the Russian Ambassador.

It is also the case that even if the Russian 'intervention' did not sway the outcome of the Referendum or the US election, both of which were won on tight margins, that the Russians intervened and had willing accomplices in the UK and the USA is the issue that ought to be making headlines.

Here is an extract from the report and a link to a critical article:
A leader of the Leave.EU campaign suggested sending a “message of support” to the Russian ambassador after the then foreign secretary made a speech that was critical of Russia, documents seen by the Observer suggest.
The material also appears to show that Andy Wigmore, spokesman for the Leave.EU campaign and the business partner of Arron Banks, the biggest funder of Brexit, passed confidential legal documents to high-ranking officials at the Russian embassy and then denied it to parliament.
The documents related to George Cottrell, an aide to Nigel Farage who was with him on the campaign trail for Donald Trump in July 2016. Cottrell was arrested by the FBI and charged with 21 counts of money laundering, bribery and wire fraud.

Speaking of religion, and Trump I just discovered the identity of this US guy, name Mark Taylor. He is using religious prophecy, to promote ideas, like 'Trump is being used by God to fulfill his mission. I happened to hear him speak, and I see his mission as justification for fascism, with Trump as the "strongman".

I haven't run out of bad things to say about Trump, but I have run out of new ways to say bad things about Trump, it may be that the Republican Party is on it's last legs. Dramatic Nonsense like this usually has a limit, would Republicans warm up to Mike Pence? Will the search for a White Obama sink the Pequod?
