And another day where Trump loses his Pecker--no, wait, that’s too easy. And another day where Trump’s Pecker might be the--no, that’s not it, either. Ok. And another day of Peckers, racism, “flipping,” guns, blocking, disenfranchising, and whole bunch of other stuff comes to a close:

“But there’s a warnin’ sign on the road ahead. There’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d be better off dead.” -- Neil Young

Law and order Trump wants to make 'flipping' illegal. “It's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal." President Trump is suggesting that it should be illegal for people facing prosecution to co-operate with the government in exchange for a reduced sentence. He is a terrified waste of human flesh.

David Pecker, publisher of the National Enquirer and Trump friend, granted immunity in Cohen probe. The supermarket tabloid made a hush-money payment to a former Playboy bunny who alleges she had an affair with Trump. No wonder Trump wants flipping to be illegal. Grab the popcorn, folks.

National Enquirer kept a safe containing documents on hush money payments and other damaging stories it killed as part of cozy relationship with Donald Trump leading up to the US election.


Sessions fires back at Trump: Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. Dissension in the ranks?

Key Republicans signal approval for Trump firing Sessions after midterms. Apparently there is dissension in the ranks. They want to fire him because he refuses to break the law? WTF?

White House blocks bill that would protect elections.

President Trump says "everybody would be very poor" if he's impeached. What a narcissistic piece of shit. And the scare tactic? Just stop. Never mind the fact everybody already is “poor.”

Betsy DeVos is reportedly considering allowing states to use federal funds to purchase guns for teachers.

Democrats, educators express outcry over Education Department research into whether states can use federal money to buy guns for schools.

Reality Winner warned America that Russia hacked our voting rolls. Why is she in jail?

Reality Winner, who leaked a report on Russian hacking, has received what prosecutors call the longest federal sentence ever imposed for a media leak.

Democrats say report on cyber attack was false alarm.

"I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up, or take a knee, for your rights, anytime, anywhere, in any place." Rep. Beto O'Rourke, Texas Democrat challenging Sen. Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate seat, defends NFL players' right to protest. I hope Texas does the right thing and votes for Beto.

Trump under fire for claim of 'large scale killing' of white farmers in South Africa. The president's unfounded tweet followed a segment on Fox News on the topic on Wednesday night.

South Africa blasts Trump over racially divisive tweet. That’s what he does. He’s a racist that divides people.

"She would not want this to be used as fuel against undocumented immigrants": Some of Mollie Tibbetts' family don't want her death politicized. And it shouldn’t be. But the GOP and Fox News are in the business of scaring people.

Trump administration is using federal disability law to disenfranchise minority voters.

Yorkville cop suspended, sergeant fired after video reveals police taunting distressed man and telling him to “finish yourself off". WTF?

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
