Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

Doesn't surprise me a bit. The Scrotus gang MUST portray the press as the enemy of the people. Otherwise, the people will start to believe them. And when they start to believe them, they'll start questioning the 'truth according to Scrotus'. And when they start questioning, they'll realize they've been (and are being) lied to. And once they've realized that, all bets are off.

It's really amazing to hear (and overhear) the things that Scrotus' base believe to be true being said from their own lips. Just stunning. And there is NO convincing them otherwise. The Lord could come down from on High and speak words of Truth from a burning bush, and if what the Lord says is different than what Scrotus says, they'll stick with Scrotus.

Roll on November and the Blue Wave. It's the only way we're going to get out of this before 2021 (Inauguration Day).

Why Republicans aren't planning for the coming Mueller report

(Basically, they've realised that their constituents don't care about it and it's not a vote-winner/loser.)

"I'm tired of this," @Acosta says. "It is not right" to call the press the "enemy of the people." Watch this clip.

At film premiere, @DonaldJTrumpJr says modern-day Dem platform reminiscent of Nazis. "You see the Nazi platform from the early 1930s . . . and you look at it compared to the DNC platform of today, you’re saying, ‘Man, those things are awfully similar."

The full video is here: @DonaldJTrumpJr starts speaking about 2:20 in this video. The comment about Nazis comes in response to a question about how to reduce negativity in political discourse.

I don't know which riles me more, the strategy itself or their assumption that we are so stupid we can't see through it. Well, I guess some people are that stupid. But I'm not, nor are the anti-Scrotus people I know.

Tillis is so proud of this 'clever' ploy his Twitter banner is a photo of him, Grassley et al in front of the empty 'Kavanaugh Files' boxes and those 'impressive' visual aids:

BREAKING: Special counsel Mueller has requested to interview Russian pop star Emin Agalarov, who helped set up the 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Agalarov's lawyer tells @NBCNews. It sounds like he's being cooperative, which could be a really big development.

Window dressing, net curtains for a blackout.

'White House asserts 'vast' effort to protect elections'

'Asked specifically if he had been ordered or authorized to conduct any offensive cyber operations in response to foreign meddling in the U.S., Nakasone offered a vague response. "So my guidance and the direction from the present secretary of defense is very clear, we're not going to accept meddling in the elections. And it's very unambiguous." '

'An accountant who prepared Paul Manafort's taxes testified Thursday that Manafort never told them that he had foreign bank accounts. This question is asked on IRS tax forms, and it's a crime to hide foreign bank accounts from the US government.'

I'll be interested to see whether the spat with the Kochs has any effect on the races.

Indeed there could. It's the Midterms, though, that are occupying my thoughts.
