Personally I think the worst things he does is poo poo talk the courts and to a lesser extant the congress and senate.

I need to find a contractor that'll give me a clearance because I did the military wrong :(

Shits crazy. I got a job at a Navy base for some IT work already with my clearances gtg. Was getting bored sitting for two weeks until I got gained in the system.
Some dude hired as a tier2 had to sit at a desk for 6 months watching FB and YouTube before his clearance that the company payed for was gtg.

Speaking of,

In a military-styled order titled “Directive 02022017,” Michael Hill, president of the neo-Confederate League of the South (LOS), announced Friday the formation of a new vigilante “defense force.”

The League of the South is calling for all able-bodied, traditionalist Southern men to join our organization’s Southern Defense Force for the purpose of helping our State and local magistrates across Dixie combat this growing leftist menace to our historic Christian civilization. As private citizens in a private organization, we will stand ready to protect our own families and friends, our property, and our liberty from leftist chaos. Moreover, we will be ready to assist our local and State authorities in keeping the peace should they find it necessary to “deputize” private citizens for that purpose.

Trump's friend says Trump is considering firing Special Counsel Bob Mueller — who's leading the Trump-Russia investigation (Ruddy was at the White House today)



This could absolutely just be a float and be nothing, but I'm reading a lot of Mueller-trashing right now. Could be in for another Saturday Night Massacre in the near future. Pretty sure this will come up tomorrow!

Just read a possible motive in the Reality Winner NSA document case.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/leaking-secret-nsa-report-russia-unfolded/story?id=47858751

She probably heard The Intercept's podcast, that had Glenn Greenwald on as a guest, where they said "no evidence of Russia guys." She likely got angry, found the proof, then sent it to them via gmail.

Reminds me of an old joke of Josh Marshall of TPM, a concept called Trump's Razor. Trump's Razor is defined as "ascertain the stupidest possible scenario that can be reconciled with the available facts and that answer is likely correct."

Checks out here.

Listened to five minutes of Rush today and the "hot take" was something along the lines of

"Friends, you know and I know that this shooting was all caused by the liberal media using inflamatory remarks about Trump"

and

"The FBI still don't have a motive, they said it's too early to say, and let me just say that while the FBI was investigating Trump and Russia, which there is no evidence of, this guy was planning this shooting."

My issue with corrected procedures, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that my vision is getting worse as I get older. I need a new prescription these days because my glasses aren't as sharp as they used to be.

If I get corrected surgery or lasik or whatever, will my vision get worse naturally over time like everyone else's, leaving me wearing glasses someday anyway? Or am I guaranteed fixed vision forever?
