Found upright he was, in his Chevy,
Surrounded by females, a bevy,
The laws of the Celts
As to child-seats and belts
All obeyed, for their fines were way heavy.
[STLTODAY] The same scenes play out time and again for police Lt. Scott Aubuchon’s homicide detectives when they arrive to investigate another death in the city: yellow police tape, the wails of family and evidence technicians scouring for bullet casings.Aubuchon’s team is struggling to keep up as the city contends with a homicide rate that, by year’s end, likely will be the worst in at least a half-century.
The number of killings soared over the summer as detectives were called to 114 homicides in June, July and August. There were 53 people killed in the city in July alone.
"Since June 1, our numbers began to rise at the alarming rate," said Aubuchon, the homicide unit’s commander since 2018. "We’ve never seen anything like the last three months. These are indescribable times."
The same can be said for the year.
The shooting death last Monday of a 15-year-old girl in the Riverview neighborhood was the 194th homicide of the year, matching the city’s total for all of 2019. That number has since been surpassed. If the pace of killings continues, St. Louis will reach an ignoble milestone. Over the past decade, the city has averaged 50 homicides in the last four months of the year, according to police statistics. If that holds true, St. Louis will see about 240 homicides in 2020, the highest in 25 years.

Not a big surprise when you have a Soros bought DA in St. Louis. She'd rather go after citizens who armed themselves and defended their property when rioting hordes showed to do bad things.

Somehow, I've always gotten along without it. So if the commies want to keep it, let them. But firewall the whole damn country.

They are citing "National Security Interests"? Interseting. Tell us how losing control of a social media platform endagers your security, you probably mean "Loss of intelligence sources by tracking users in the servers in China" and loss of "ability to spread disinformation and dissent".

Does our country no longer have Black Bag operators that can go out do wet work on these people? A whole bunch of people need to be sanctioned. Let them hate, as long as they fear.

MacFarlane ought to concern himself with the Canadian constitution and politics as he doesn't seem to understand our Constitutional articles and laws.

Does "policy advisor" have any official standing?

From this clown's response to criticism via the Post-Millennial:
"Last night in the context of the RBG news, I tweeted intemperately about rather seeing Congress burned down than seeing Trump appoint another SCOTUS judge," the public policy researcher wrote. "I don't think any reasonable person would see a 'burn it all down' tweet as a call for violence."
Guten Morgen...
[CBSN] CBS News reports former national security adviser H.R. McMaster
... National Security Advisor February 20, 2017 – April 9, 2018, after which the Army retired him, possibly for being an insubordinate weenie. He has since amused himself with writing the usual book, joining the Hoover Institute and the board of Zoom, and talking sense in public. That Eric “Ukraine!!!” Ciaramella, NSC whistleblower extraordinaire, was his personal aide shows that he is only human...
says [Obama Administration] advisors may have been actively opposing or damaging President Trump.
He details three groups: those who are there trying to help the president and serve the country, those who are there instead of "providing options to the elected president" they really want to serve their own narrow agendas, and then finally there's one group "who cast themselves in the role of saving the country and maybe the world from the president." [H/T Nick Arama of Redstate] Some might even call it a conspiracy, and treason. They need to be identified and publicly frog-marched out.

President Trumps biggest mistake was using so many hold-overs. After this election, he should have resignations on his desk the next day of every dismiss-able political appointee from GS-1 to a GS-O-My_God - and fire the lot of them if they even sniffed the air near Obama or Soros or Pelosi, Nadler, Shit Schiff, or their henchmen.

President Trumps biggest mistake was using so many hold-overs.
What options did he have? He's a DC outsider, unlike DC insiders he did not have a ready bullpen of Party DC insiders ready to back him up.
In addition he's been met with non stop lawfare in and out of the judiciary, lots of resistance within both houses of congress by his own party and some might even say treason if you factor in the machinations of the SSCI.

He was under investigation even before he was sworn in. He couldn't just fire everyone and I don't think he realized the partisan resistance he would face at all levels of government, with him being a business man and everyone just accepts the new CEO usually.
This time around, especially if the 'Pubs seize the house, expect massive firings throughout the government.

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." Some don't just fade away when there are books to be written and sold and important think tank work to be done.
McMaster presents himself in a self-flattering way to Scott Pelley. What was his role in the coup d'état if any? I wonder who he viewed as his enemies at the WH beside Trump?
#7
McMaster was a good military commander, but he lost it in politics. As for the President, he should have cleaned house more than he did, but figuring realistically how to do it is a lot harder than knowing that he needed to do it.
Kind of like how Patton used the former Nazisin post WW2 Germany, except that the Nazis didn't backstab him the way the Obamanistas did Trump.
Interesting how that works, worse than actual Nazis.
[THEHOUR] Senate Democrats and their liberal allies confronted the reality Monday that they have no path to blocking President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... 's pending Supreme Court nomination other than a political pressure campaign that peels away a minimum of four GOP votes.
Deep into their sixth year in the minority, Democrats can use some procedural tactics that might briefly slow the confirmation process, but if at least 50 Republicans approve of Trump's pick to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, that nominee is certain to be seated.
Publicly, Democrats vowed to fight with every fiber in the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings and on the Senate floor as the liberal alliance of outside interest groups began planning how to mount a campaign that would try to turn Republicans against the nominee. But the process ahead leaves no room for error, and even a perfectly executed pressure campaign could fall short.
"We're in a situation where Mitch McConnell is the only person in this building that can decide when and whether and how to move the nomination forward. My hope is that there will be enough Republicans to stop it, but I don't think the likelihood of that is high," said Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., made clear Monday that he will press ahead with the confirmation process 43 days before the election, shrugging off criticism that his actions were brazenly hypocritical. In 2016, McConnell refused to consider President Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...

Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 44.79642 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... , D-N.Y., appeared to recognize the limited leverage. In a floor speech Monday, he did not threaten retaliatory tactics per se, should Republicans move a nominee through before the election. But he sought to shame his GOP colleagues by holding up their previous words about election-year Supreme Court nominations to suggest they were being insincere.

The results of the machinations of former senator Reid and current Schumer is that they have no credibility. There are ways to win gracefully and there are ways to win while keeping your word -- they have failed at both.
#6
I've never seen such a bunch of whiney-cry babies as the current crop of Dems. They want everything their way and if they don't get it, they throw tantrums and want to riot and burn everything down.
#7
This is way too optimistic. We want to keep control of the Senate, and we want the nominee confirmed before November 3. I'm not sure we can have both, and (God forbid) we may get neither. If Mitch forces a vote before the election, some GOP senators who are already in tough races (e.g., McSally AZ) may lose. Plus, the RINO's can vote no on procedural grounds ("I like Barrett/Lagoa, but this ought to wait until after November 3.")

True, but Republican traitors are *not* powerless. They will aid the Democrats.

That's odd, 'ex-pimp'. I thought that was a joke title like ex-spy. You know once you're in you're in for life. Oh well, they sure have the leadership they wanted.
