Crass: having Moore around would be good for raising money nationally and ginning up women nationwide to vote.

...12:11 p.m....At that time, Flynn was on the dais during Trump's speech.
Didn't even make it to the first commercial break.

Heh

Apparently, at the exact moment of the text, Trump was in the middle of his speech and was talking about putting America first.

What’s the diagnosis? Stroke, dementia, diabeetus, pneumonia?

President Trump provoked a Twitterstorm after his speech on Jerusalem Wednesday in which he appeared to be breathing heavily and slurring some of his words toward the end.
“God bless the United States,” he concluded, but the words “States” sounded as if he pronounced it “Shtates” — and scores of viewers noticed.

Hillaryitis.

Or maybe amyloidosis.

I am going to put my money on loose dentures, actually. He was talking like someone that was desperately trying to keep them in.

In all honesty, I think it's just 'old'.

Someone with his kind of money certainly has dental implants.

Mitch has said he will start an ethics probe (the first step to expulsion) immediately upon his election.

We've been over this.

IT'S NEVER LUPUS

You don't actually believe the GOP would ever bring this to a vote on expulsion, let alone actually put the 21 votes on the board to expel him to get to 2/3 needed, do you?

Looks like he keeps pushing his tongue around to keep something from falling, but I have to admit I loved the conspiracy theories with Hillary and I love these now too.

I just saw the video for the first time, and I think I'd have to agree. You could see even when he sat down to sign the..... proclamation?..... that he was fussing around his mouth with his tongue.

Which I'm sure Melania appreciated the change of pace.

I forgot how close the race was that brought Franken to the Senate.

That Wal Mart shooter in Texas was earlier this year? The cops had to take care of it - one would have thought that a brave Charles Bronson type would have unholstered their pistol (or grabbed a gun and ammo from the sporting goods department) and taken care of it. Alas....nope.

Trump Jr. cites attorney-client privilege in not answering panel's questions about discussions with his father

I saw a story that don jr refused to say what he told Don Sr due to “attorney client privilege”. These two are not lawyers, and if there was a lawyer in the room does that count?

There it is. Paul Ryan just admitted that after providing $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1% and large corporations, Republicans will try to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and help for the most vulnerable Americans.

More on the Cuban sonic attacks on the US embassy in Havana. If I was one of the workers down there that was affected I'd be concerned about long-term effects too.

Brain abnormalities have been found in the U.S. diplomats who were victims of suspected attacks at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, according to a new report.

Doctors discovered that white matter in the brains of Embassy workers had “developed changes,” The Associated Press reported. White matter allows different areas of the brain to communicate.
