The chyron accompanying this story about “a few hundred” migrant children still separated from their parents - who cares about the exact number, right? - is ‘Nielsen: Some parents have said they don’t want to be reunited with kids’.. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a lie.

.@SecNielsen on how many minors are still separated from their parents in HHS custody: "There's a few hundred." #TheStory

You do sound like a far right-wing lunatic. Why on earth would liberals send real bombs to their own side, at the extreme risk of killing and maiming the targets, just to make the other side look bad? I really think some people have lost the ability or desire to think critically - or even think at all.

'During a live interview on Oct. 25 at The Washington Post, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that if Democrats re-take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections and subpoena the president's tax returns, it would likely force a fight in the U.S. Supreme Court. "And," Gingrich said,"we'll see whether or not the Kavanaugh fight was worth it."'

Posted at 3.14am ET on the iPhone he doesn't have. Someone needs to tell him that press criticism comes with the gig. sighs

Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, “it’s just not Presidential!”

Mr D. in PA. It is easy for some of us to forget just how disengaged from politics huge numbers of people are:

The most sobering thing about talking-to-average-people midterms reporting is the number of average people who either have no idea an election is happening or think the president is running in it.

Always the victim, Gump. Possible assassination attempts on 9 of his fellow Americans, two of whom are ex presidents, and he is the victim.

That middle of the night tweeting from Stinky indicates he is roiled. Was it what Haspel told him? Who knows, but something is eating him.

Trump fears Florida wipeout
The president is mounting an 11th-hour effort to head off high-profile losses for governor and Senate in his adopted home state.

www.politico.com/story/2018/10/26/trump-florida-senate-2018-senate-governor-941802
The White House is planning a political rescue mission in Florida, fearing a wipeout in a key swing state next month that could damage President Donald Trump’s reelection hopes.

Trump is expected to visit the state at least twice, according to two people familiar with the plans. Visits from several Cabinet members are likely, as well. Presidential text messages are being sent to Floridians who still haven’t cast their absentee ballots. And discussions are underway about blanketing the state with robocalls from Trump.

  1. Holy crap: After her ‘no’ vote on Kavanaugn’s nomination, Heidi Heitkamp raised $12.4 MILLION in the first 17 days of October.

Of that, $7.5 million was in small donations, per new FEC filing.

  1. Here’s how insane this is: Before her Kavanaugh vote, Heitkamp had raised just $14 million all cycle, and just $2 million in small donations.

3.When I interviewed Heitkamp in the days after the Kavanaugh vote, she told me she needed to turn out just 150,000 voters to win.

This is a lot of money to target and turn out a fairly small number of voters.

Spurious George plays furious George:
'Papadopoulos threatens to pull out of Mueller plea agreement'
“I believe there was tremendous misconduct on the government's behalf regarding my case,” Papadopoulos told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade. “And given certain information I learned just yesterday that I can't publicly disclose right now, I'm actually even considering withdrawing my agreement I have come to with the government.

Gumpendorf · 26/10/2018 15:21

Even Twitter is against him. He's not getting the reaction he needs from his usual topics. He's like an addict and he will ramp up the horror rating til he gets his fix. Dangerous times.

Twitter has removed many people from my account and, more importantly, they have seemingly done something that makes it much harder to join - they have stifled growth to a point where it is obvious to all. A few weeks ago it was a Rocket Ship, now it is a Blimp! Total Bias?

Ditto George who has threatened to pull out of the agreement at least twice before iirc.

Does he still have an agreement? I think George has been treated pretty well considering.
