  1. This is just batting practice for the authoritarian main event.
  2. Trump never disavows. After lukewarm tweets, nothing more is ever said by Rs in Congress.

    The Civil War

    I also enjoyed Sandburg's Lincoln book. I've seen it panned as pop history or the like. Regardless, it still gives an interesting look behind the scenes. I think I read the condensed version (of a six-volume work). Need to reread the full set sometime....

    The Civil War

    Since this is in Books, Bruce Catton's Civil War (Mr. Lincoln's Army/Glory Road/A Stillness at Appomattox) is really good. Enjoyable read.
  5. ^ They're doing their best to lose.
  6. More on the poll that Fozzz cited
  7. Preview of the outrageous, shameful rhetoric coming in 2020. Distraction Monday continues from Sunday.
  8. From last summer (Family Case Management Program) https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-border-crisis/obama-era-pilot-program-kept-asylum-seeking-migrant-families-together-n885896
  9. Can't be said enough. Next year is going to be bad enough. The constitution and rule of law will continue to take a beating. If he gets re-elected, the USA is done. Pyro posted the story about the group translating the Mueller report into a cartoon. I heartily applaud any effort to get the facts out there, and maybe that's what it takes. However, it's sad that in the information age we're so dumbed down as a nation. Unlimited flow of information has translated to unlimited propaganda. There is virtually no coverage of the concentration camps. There are a few scattered photos and a few stories. There's a little blip on the news cycle radar and that quickly fades away. Just like with Khashoggi, shithole countries comments, and the rest. That travesty in the immigrant prisons should be documented with terabytes of video/images/interviews/etc. Journalists and Congress should both be providing as much transparency as possible. They're not.
  10. I think they were already suspicious about him. He had played a lot of lower ranked players recently and his rating had gone up pretty quick. It seems like the earpiece would be the way to go if you were dead set on cheating.
  11. That was a long time ago. Didn't Trump decide the Saudis didn't do it? - Trumpkins
  12. In one of the news articles, they had a picture of the actual board (with pieces) and a picture of the virtual board on his phone. They matched. He had a game/software on his phone that was predicting the best move. https://en.chessbase.com/post/58-year-old-gm-igors-rausis-caught-cheating-at-the-strasbourg-open
  13. The Ds have to find a way to make their message heard and for it not to be defined by the latest grenade that Cheeto throws into the room. So far, they're failing at that.
  14. Tear up the Iran treaty, try to destroy ACA, shut down FCMP. All to own Obama and the libs.
  15. Yep. ^ We're headed for some radical behavior next year from this WH.
  16. Trumpkin! Libcuck snowflake!!
  17. https://nypost.com/2019/07/13/chess-grandmaster-allegedly-caught-cheating-on-toilet-during-tournament/
  18. The feckless Ds refuse to use the one tool at their disposal to deal w Trump's lawlessness. The lies and propaganda spewed by the Rs next year will be off the chart.
  19. Poor Nancy. Always playing defense.
  20. Yeah, that video that shows people sitting in lawn chairs in that hallway just looks miserable.
  21. This is all the olds will remember. It's incredible how they can say anything and the 40% believe it.
