Those Poll Numbers On Trump’s Assassination Of Suleimani Not Looking Good.  I don’t generally ‘do’ polls here, but this one suggests that Trump might have done lasting damage to his reelection.

Clinton Found Innocent–Again.  Doesn’t make her any less guilty of political malpractice though, which was her true transgression.  Her disastrous candidacy will never offer her exoneration.

“Designed By Clowns, Supervised By Monkeys”.  Boeing employees talking about the grounded 737. And these are the redacted e-mails. The FAA has the unredacted ones.  Somehow, I don’t see this as a ‘buy low’ opportunity.

What Democrats Could Have Done To Rein In Trump On Iran:

 The left flank of House Democrats had tried to do that earlier last year. The initial version of the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which cleared the House in July on a party-line vote, contained provisions that would have blocked Trump from starting a war with Iran unless Congress approved it. 

When representatives from the two chambers of Congress met in the fall to hash out a compromise bill, the limitations on Trump’s war powers were cut out.

The only big item from the progressives’ agenda that Democrats did secure was a commitment to grant federal employees 12 weeks of paid parental leave, but that came in exchange for approval to create Trump’s Space Force.

Chris? One more reason why bipartisanship sucks.

Kentucky Rethugs Push Voter Suppression Bill.  Yes, it’s an admission that they have to cheat to win.  Unfortunately, they often win by cheating. 

Sen. Hansen Presides Over Sham Gun Discussion.  Other than getting her name in the paper, I have no idea what she wanted to accomplish here.  From what I’ve heard, she basically pissed off everybody. And for what?

What do you want to talk about?
