Barr seems to be trying to get several items completed in a hurry. Reading about various activities of officials in Trump’s administration and their rush to get things out gives one a feeling that they are not confident about their prospects. I hope it’s just me being a nervous Nellie.
The lack of great moderators is due to the lack of great journalists, at least any great journalists who might conceivably be chosen by the Presidential Debate Commission (or whatever they are called).
And Mick, I’d be willing to bet a considerable sum that, if he is elected, Trump will not die of natural causes before 2021. I will be concerned about him dying from other causes however.
I rarely go over there and when I do I scan the topics quickly and then “mark all topics read”. Even the “no politics side” (right, like ESPN is no politics) is littered with unexpected slams of Trump. The folks who try to present themselves as “balanced” observers of the political scene all feel it necessary to forswear any possibility that they might vote for Trump or that they might have any misgivings about the intent of the radicals steering the ship for the Dems.
At one time I truly found The Cardboard to be an amazing place. Yvonne’s sympathy for the hardcore leftists meant the board changed significantly when political discussions arose and got heated. When she summarily suspended ferrari and then stupac pissed off garvin, the damage had been done. The weasels and the hotheads took over. Eventually, they ran off or shut up the conservative or libertarian voices almost entirely.
I do enjoy your contributions over there, cardcrimson.
Just an aside: Outsider Fan would be horrified to know how much he is a duplicate of Trump’s tone and rhetorical style. Unfortunately for him, he lacks Trump’s effectiveness.
We keep getting more and more and stronger and stronger PROOF that a plot against the United States was designed and carried out by the most senior and powerful leaders in the previous administration and I have no confidence that they will be brought to justice. I have run out of words to sufficiently express the contempt for liberal leadership now that remains silent in the face of the criminal behavior.
Wallace is, at the very least, a drooling Never Trump establishment RINO. At worst he is a liberal mole.
And from Peter Schweitzer’s book, “Profiles in Corruption”, apparently Joe’s brother Frank puts Hunter to shame. Manipulations of charter school developments is pretty egregious.
I don’t think it is quite so clear cut. The boyfriend claims he did not hear the knock. May not be true, but a tough negative to prove. The grand jury did not charge him with anything and his gun was legal. Missouri is, as I understand it, a “stand your ground” state. Police broke through the door and the boyfriend admits he fired first. One of the officers (I presume the one who was charged with the equivalent of reckless endangerment or something like that) fired through a glass partition that had a closed drape. I did not hear if that was the lethal shot. Furthermore, no items on the search warrant (which authorized a search for property, it was not an arrest warrant) were discovered in the apartment. $12 millions seems like a lot, but I don’t really have enough info to determine if it was in line with settlements of this sort. I think it was a tragic situation in which both sides made significant errors.
And rarely (never) mentioned is that Gray Davis worked out a deal with Enron that locked the State into energy prices set during a cyclical peak in market prices. That deal was going to effect the budget for many years.
Interesting read and confirms a lot of the worst information that I have come to believe about California. I am glad to be in Texas. Only my daughter is left and she lives in Petaluma. She is talking about leaving soon. My son got to Colorado several years ago.
I know of no one who has moved to California. It represents a perfect example of the failure of liberal policies. Yet those California residents to whom I still talk about the dire conditions that I perceive out there vehemently insist that articles such as this are just conservative propaganda and exaggerate the problems.
I am frustrated by these charges of hypocrisy. If Dems are charging Reps with hypocrisy for reversing their position on this issue since 2016, are they trying to claim that they were against Obama appointing Merrick Garland? It probably should be noted that Obama was trying to goad his opposition into giving his nomination a chance. Trump would like his allies to give his appointment that consideration. Not getting one’s way is not a basis to make this kind of charge.
On another front, Jared Kushner made fools of all those who had been ridiculing him since his father-in-law took office and asked him to guide our efforts to forge a wall around Iran and their proxies. That effort is not over, obviously, but key steps keep being made that will dramatically change the balance of influence in the Middle East. I just wish the main stream media showed even a shred of curiosity or intellectual honesty in assessing what is going on there.

Because of unwavering and unabashed commitment to the principles underlying our society, Barr and Trump and Pompeo and others in this Administration have exposed the radicalism taking shape on the left. Hopefully, there is still a sufficient portion of our populace that has not been dumbed down enough to fall for the BS being peddled by the “Resistance”.
And Trump announces the 1776 Commission to help students learn more about our countries foundational principles. Way overdue.
