For me, the Parkland children being belittled and abused in so many ways is utterly heartbreaking to witness. But they have been more adult than the adults in their response. They have shown us what faith means, and bravery. POTUS? He is made much, much smaller.

FAKE NEWS. "Jason Wilson" clearly looking for attention, simply asked for a picture and tried to make questions about the case to which George never answered. I told @JuddLegum multiple times yesterday ON THE RECORD that it was not true. call recorded-our lawyers will proceed

(MOBILE, Ala.) — Police say five teenagers were shot and two others were trampled at what was advertised as a concert for high school students on Easter night in Mobile, Alabama.

Police Chief Lawrence Battiste told a news conference Monday that all seven victims are teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18.

Six people were treated and released, but one of the shooting victims remains hospitalized in critical condition.

A Sinclair journalist, who has been trying to resist from inside the newsroom — but who doesn’t have a union — explains why it’s so hard for TV anchors to refuse the Sinclair’s editorial edicts. They have contracts that penalize them if they quit.

A former Sinclair journalist sent me a screenshot of their contract. “I couldn't leave because of this part of my contract.”

And

Sinclair required that “talent should dress in jewel tones” to read the script. “The goal is to look apolitical…. Females should wear yellow, gold, magenta, cyan, but avoid red, blue or purple.”

Very bad news. Russian theatre director Mikhail Ugarov, dead at the age of 63 in Moscow. Ugarov directed the play One Hour 18 Minutes about the last moments of Sergei Magnitsky’s life. He fearlessly challenged the Kremlin’s lies. RIP

Minimammoth · 02/04/2018 20:58

I knowHmm what the is the Rasmussen poll?

cozietoesie · 02/04/2018 21:01

The latest Rasmussen poll shows 45's approval rating at 50%. (More than Obama's at the same stage.)
I'm not surprised.

Just persist. Smile

In a new court filing, Robert Mueller’s office makes clear that London-based lawyer Alexander van der Zwaan knows key details about the ongoing Russia investigation that are "not widely known" to the public.

'Nothing Donald Trump has done since his inauguration 14 months ago is more dangerous – to the United States, and indeed, to the world - than his selection of John Bolton for National Security Adviser. It is not surprising the president would feel most comfortable receiving advice from a fellow bully.

Trump bullies people on a nearly daily basis, directing his ire at immigrants, Muslims, women, LBGTQ people, the poor and the environment. He hurls Twitter attacks at those who disagree with him.'

Interesting NYT piece - especially if you keep on going. Smile
