"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

Thanks, lion. Interesting piece.

Reading that statement Pain, it is a bit 'we've got 3, now you've got 3'. It just sounds like the start of a Trump style cold war. All very strange.

This cartoon did make me laugh in a wry way.

However, my thoughts are with those in Texas trying to cope with the nightmare that has befallen them.

They've responded in kind roussette

I didn't mean they've already retaliated, I meant that putin has made noises that he will respond in kind

$1.2 billion due in 18 mos on 666 5th loan for which Kushners put down just $50M–how did Jared get a secret clearance with this much debt?

Good.

White House press briefing

Seems late

Journal Sentinel @journalsentinel
#BREAKING David A. Clarke Jr. has resigned as Milwaukee County sheriff.

I stopped watching that presser halfway through her 'comments'. I don't know why I even started to be honest. It's just the same Burble Burble Burble. (I was glad for the link, though, orlantina.)

Clarke resigned? Any indication why?

Hey @realDonaldTrump, you better not put this guy anywhere near that vacant DHS Secretary job!! Mindful of your evil sheriff fetish...

I just have speculation I'm afraid

He surely wouldn't need to resign to get that, though?

In fact, did he not already withdraw from consideration for a post at DHS?

Yes, I'd completely forgotten! From June:

I'd (almost) forgotten also. After all, it was 175 years ago by my reckoning!
