    So on this Flynn mess. I may be alone in this, but, here’s what I think…

    Donald Trump is an idiot. He’s NOT really that smart but he thinks he is. he’s a man who stunt like he’s so smart and soooo clever, but he isn’t. He’s a vain man, who’s head can be turned if you stroke his ego enough.

    I don’t believe Donald Trump is smart enough to orchestrate this entire Russia/Flynn fiasco on his own. What I do believe is that the people surrounding him, the kids, Kushner, Kellyanne, Bannon, Miller, Pence, Kelly, the rest of the of the Generals…etc…are smarter than he is.

    They know how to get in his ear, and get him to turn his head in their direction and spout off their message. The problem they have is that Trump, who when off the script, is a complete train wreck, as evidenced by twitter and his off the cuff statements.

    So I am totally convinced that they used Trump vanity and stupidity to their advantage and sure enough Trump’s dumb azz probably did exactly what they wanted…

    And now the dumb azz is likely to go down for it!!!

    About 15 years ago IIRC some TX state legislators repaired to Albuquerque to postpone a vote. While they did stay in the part of town that once was Tejas/Mexico/Spain (east of the Rio Grande) the fact that they weren’t in Texas forced the GOP to hold the vote.

    Bernie is holding “rallies” this weekend in Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennystucky.

    It’s hopeless to think he can get McConnell, Portman, and Toomey to flip (the latter 2 aren’t up for reelection for 5 more years).

    While the odds are long he would be better off holding rallies in Maine (where he’s popular) and in Arizona to try to flip Collins and Flake – especially if he started mobilizing local opposition weeks ago, and not at the last minute.

    So why is he going to Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsytucky – well he lost those primaries in 2016 (the last 2 badly) and he cynically using this bill to kick off his 2020 primary campaign.

Not a dime for him and therefore not a dime for Ivanka – and Ivanka will HATE him until his dying days for that, so he’ll cave.

    I actually don’t understand WTF they think is a ‘win’ about this tax cut.

    The message I left for Rob Portman this morning: In 5 years my daughter will be a first year grad student, if she can afford tuition, and my dad will be living independently if he can afford medications, but if they’re both living with me because of a tax cut for private jets…I’m definitely gonna vote for whoever his opponent is. Regardless of what the ads he buys might say.

    Voters much less engaged than I am are bound to observe that their aging parents are in their basements & post-college kids are in their attics. This isn’t subtle. It’s gutting Medicare AND tuition waivers at the same time that is hard not to notice.

    At this point, I think we have to assume most GOP lawmakers have either been completely blackmailed into voting for this crap, or have been told that if/when they lose their seat, they’ll be taken care of for life. And really, given what we know about wingnut welfare (that it’s endless, that you don’t have to do anything to ‘earn’ it), that’s probably not too far-fetched.

    And considering the amounts involved here, the net benefit to the Kochs along, to say nothing of the rest of the .01%, they could give these Reps and Senators $1M/year each for life and it’d still be a HUGE gain.

    Cannot wait to see Ivanka in an orange jumpsuit.

    On November 11, 2016, Christie was chairing a transition meeting, when, according to four sources, Flynn walked in with an ally, General Keith Kellogg. “Gentlemen, can I help you?” Christie asked. Ivanka Trump, who was a member of the transition team’s executive council, announced that she had invited them. Christie tried to reclaim control of the meeting, but Ivanka took over. Praising Flynn’s “amazing loyalty to my father,” she turned to him and asked, “General, what job do you want?” A participant at the meeting said, “It was like Princess Ivanka had laid the sword on Flynn’s shoulders and said, ‘Rise and go forth.’ ” (A source close to Ivanka didn’t deny the account, but said that it exaggerated her role, and that she was merely trying to show appreciation for Flynn’s support.)

    CNN is reporting that K.T. McFarland was the senior official who Flynn talked to on the 29th. She would basically be his deputy, so she would be relaying orders from someone more important. The pool report for that day at Mar-a-Lago doesn’t mention Kushner or Pence, which means the only people there senior to Flynn would be Bannon and Trump himself.

    Hey Cole, David von Drehle agrees with you about “Craziness”: The Volume Is All The Way Up To 11

    This week, the president of the United States shared with the entire world three inflammatory videos, at least one of them a proven fraud, with no point except to signal his contempt for Muslims. His staff followed up by saying that it didn’t matter whether the videos were real. “Thank God for Trump!” cried the egregious David Duke of Ku Klux Klan ignominy. “That’s why we love him!”

    America’s greatest ally, Britain, responded with horror, because Trump’s hysterical tweets aggrandized a previously marginal hate group known as Britain First. But congressional leaders had little to say about this casual trashing of our national interest because they were too busy trying to salvage a trillion-dollar tax cut to “create jobs” in an economy that is already at or near full employment. Once again the Senate — formerly known as a weighty and deliberative institution — was ramming secret legislation through white-knuckle votes without hearings. At one point, desperate GOP leaders offered to raise taxes if growth stalls, which is exactly backward. The screaming dissonance makes your head hurt.

    Investors, who ought to be wary of such fiscal recklessness, were instead caught up in manias of their own. Remember 2009, when everyone swore we’d never let our markets get drunk on consumer debt and sketchy assets again? According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, household debt has passed the pre-recession record of nearly $13 trillion — and that’s before what’s shaping up to be a holiday spending binge. Meanwhile, imaginary money known as bitcoin has been selling for $12,000 per . . . per what? Per unit of imaginary money, backed solely by the full faith and credit of other bitcoin believers. bitcoin is up nearly 1,000 percent this year. It’s the Dutch tulip craze, except that in Holland investors at least ended up with some bulbs when the bubble burst. When the bottom drops out of bitcoin, today’s giddy buyers might as well have a wallet full of Monopoly money.

    And yet, the stock market keeps climbing.

    It’s a wonderful thing that our society has finally decided to stick up for victims of creeps and perverts in positions of influence. But catching up with 25 years of yuck is consuming a tremendous amount of the nation’s attention span. In the past week alone, fill-in-the-blank number of formerly successful men were outed for various sexual offenses. I say fill-in-the-blank because the list is almost certain to grow in the hours between my filing of this column and your reading of it.
    …
    Everywhere you look the planet’s a-boil. Germany can’t form a government. China can’t — or won’t — rein in North Korea. Fascism is making a comeback in Europe, while Iran is tipping the balance of power in the Middle East. This sense of global chaos, which delights no one more than Trump’s buddy Vladimir Putin, is amplified by the void at the top of U.S. foreign policy, as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson twists in the wind.

    Piling mania on mania makes life easy for cable news directors and heaps fuel on the Twitter garbage fire. But it makes sustained attention to long-term problems and opportunities nearly impossible. I was struck this week by the glancing attention given to a report by McKinsey Global Institute on the accelerating process of automating work. The think tank estimated that one-third of all U.S. jobs could be filled by robots and computers over the next dozen years.

    This revolution may lead to greater prosperity and new kinds of work eventually, but it is likely to cause huge disruptions for the already battered American middle class. The challenge demands innovative responses from some of the least innovative sectors of society: government and education.

    This is the sort of stuff we should be talking about. But it’s too loud for rational conversation. The volume is cranked to 11, and we’re headed for the cliff.

    In Canada, you will want to be sure you build your herd of goats with good long coats, as it gets COLD in the winters.

    But if you can learn how, you can make really great cheeses, in the French style. But it gets really cold. I don’t recall where you live now… maybe you’re used to cold weather. As I age into retirement, I don’t like cold as much as I did as a youth. Backpacking between the Solstice and New Year’s in the Cranberry Back Country at 4000 feet + was fun then, not so much now.

    OT: Hope you don’t mind the use of your baking debacle at #67 in the Read The Bill thread above.

    THE fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.

    @Corner Stone:

    @Manyakitty: And when they pass a bill stating that only white males with a net worth of $X are eligible to vote, who does anything about it?

    We shoot them until they no longer have a majority. Against a wall.

    @TenguPhule: That reminds me of a recent call I made to one of our repulsive rwnj senators. Before the staffer realized that he had an actual, honest-to-god libtard on the line, he had started joking about all the dumb libruls who were pointlessly calling their office. I mean, who cares what THEY think, right? Assholes, every one. GRRR.

    It is a lot like the Republican Tax The Poor Bill, a whole lot like!!
