'Honest and trustworthy" continues to be HRC's deficiency.

The Democratic voters of Michigan, perhaps informed by the history that Mona has related in another thread, tore Hillary a new one tonight.

No rational and honest observer can deny that our invasion of Iraq brought chaos there, which spilled over to Syria destroying the life support system and forcing millions of innocent people into misery, life threatening migration and finally, grinding poverty ,privation, and despair.

Indeed, even an irrational and dishonest observer, Donald Trump makes one-half the connection although he eschews any responsibility for remediation.

When Donald Trump loses Joe Scarborough...

Parsing HRC v.Sanders programs is pointless

This should definitely merit a negative review...

Godwin's law repealed

Who ya' gonna call?

OK, I don't really have a source reporting back from Paradise, but here on earth, where the unspectacular if sound policy (finally) of strangling ISIS's cash flow has begun to bear fruit, salaries for the Mujahadeen have been halved, prisoners are being offered bargain rates for release ($500 gets your ass outta jail) and folks are getting utility bills.

An army travels on its stomach, as Napoleon used to say.

Ted Cruz just can't quit Ted Nugent.

I will confess myself to be late to this particular party.  Until the recent interchange at the NH Debate, I had frankly not given much thought to the actual content of the HRC  trick turning speaking engagements at various venues of high finance and good fellowship.

While we wait to see if the Iowa caucus turnout favors Cruz (120,000) or Trump (160,000) it is mindblowing to step back and fully internalize just what a profound creep Cruz is.

The oily Uriah Heap act is evidently a truly transparent look into his grimy soul.

Consider that he is so despised that otherwise sane Republican sachems (eg, Bob Dole, Richard Burr) publicly state acceptance of Donald Trump as the party nominee before Cruz, and Trent Lott dismisses him "He is not a gentleman. Gentleman respect each other ".

The next entry in the list of historical precedents shattered: Iowa caucus strategy demands strong ground game.

Cruz is universally acknowledged to have the ground game and Trump is relying on essentially self-motivated first time caucus goers who are, in essence, the voting equivalent of The San Bernardino Two.

Ostensibly motivated by a tight budget line for fielding proxy armies (aka "boots on the ground, not ours"), President Obama (whom we have previously tagged as not  much of a military strategist) apparently went back to the same folks who sent him Obama bin Laden, (that

This could be some really bad shit

As you will recall from countless weather reports. most hurricanes "pass harmlessly off the coast."

That is, they go NORTH instead of continuing west across the Atlantic, and therefore pass between North America and Europe.

In other words, they hit Greenland.
