It's even worse than it appears.
Trump will have the Boy Scouts search for Hillary's 33,000 emails. #
If you read my blog in an RSS reader, you should visit the actual site today and yesterday to see how the new features work. They don't come through to your reader, though it's conceivable at some point they could. I have the ability to include images, tweets and xrefs (other posts) in posts. They expand in place instead of linking. A pretty nice upgrade to the web. Come see how it works. If you study the web, you'll get a new idea. #Keith Olbermann says something interesting at the end of this video. If you're pardoned, you lose the ability to take the 5th at an impeachment. #
I use node-emoji to process the emoji short codes on my blog. I asked for a feature that allowed me to enclose emoji in a span so I could make them a bit larger using CSS. They added the feature. Thanks! 👍#
It would be dramatic if John McCain returned to vote against the Obamacare repeal, but I'm pretty sure that's not why he came back.#
Last week when everyone was delivering incredible pre-eulogies about John McCain I was thinking, yeah this isn't the John McCain I know. The one I know is a spineless spitballer who, when the economy melted down while he was running for president suspended his campaign and then had no idea what to do. So he called a huge meeting at the White House, and he still had no clue, so Barack Obama took charge and told everyone what to do, and basically told them the right things. McCain makes a big deal about supposedly being a straight-talker, but he's lazy and he's mostly a self-admiring cowardly bullshitter. Maybe he showed true grit when he was in the Navy, but as a politician he's strictly a bench warmer, not a leader. Also everyone conveniently forgets he was caught in a huge bank scandal in the 80s. He's not all that honest in other words.#
First, the Repubs are about the rich people from all over the world, sucking America like a ripe piece of fruit. In contrast, the Democrats are about Americans. The people of this country. All races including white. Women, rich and poor and middle.#- What matters to Democrats is the health, happiness and success of Americans. We the people. Baseball, hot dogs and apple pie. Education. We are not scared of the future but we have to prepare for it, say the Democrats.#
- I had coffee yesterday on 72nd St with my old friend Hossein Derakhshan, the Iranian blogger. We talked about a lot of things, including the news that the US was preparing to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal. This was some news I hadn't heard! I asked him to send links with background info. #
