My only hope is maybe that means he'll get to the status of Ted Cruz with the other senators even faster.

okay, Chris Matthews is back in my favor. He just ripped into Ron Christie in a way that makes me smile.

How far the GOP has fallen.

I loved this comment below it:

Mary Grace Dembeck: God, but our POTUS is sooooo INTELLIGENT! He's calm and reasonable, even when facing such hackneyed people as McCain and McConnell! That's why I call OUR POTUS --->Barack WHO'S SANE Obama. I sure am gonna miss him when his term is over!

Great video jumping in by Hillary. She has my enthusiastic support after seeing it. She just had my support before.

Elizabeth Warren for President...she could be our next Teddy Roosevelt and bust all the crony capitalism that is destroying our form of government.

45929. arkymalarky - 4/13/2015 3:58:18 PM

If she were running, I agree! How have you been Thoughtful?

45930. judithathome - 4/13/2015 9:13:22 PM

No way Warren is going to agree to run...she has ZIP foreign policy experience and knows it...she can do far more as Secretary of Commerce.

45931. thoughtful - 4/13/2015 10:07:11 PM

Zero foreign policy experience didn't stop W or Reagan...

45932. arkymalarky - 4/13/2015 10:09:33 PM

No, but she said no repeatedly, & I believe her.

45933. thoughtful - 4/15/2015 12:03:40 PM

Can't hurt to ask...

45934. judithathome - 4/15/2015 7:42:49 PM

Bill Maher offered her a million dollars Friday night...on live TV...and she twinkled at him but declined.

I think she's brilliant to do that...she KNOWS where best to spend her capital.

I. cannot. believe, this: John Bolton is considering running for President as a Republican.

John "Walrus Moustache" Bolton.

UPDATE: Thank god he came to his senses...sort of: Just a Threat

45936. vonKreedon - 5/15/2015 7:47:04 PM

Oh! I am sorry to hear that John "The Mustache" Bolton will not be appearing in the Republican debates. Would be must see TV.

45937. judithathome - 5/15/2015 8:09:52 PM

Trust me...it's still gonna be THAT!

45938. vonKreedon - 5/16/2015 1:40:40 AM

Yay! Perry is going to join the race!

Really messy down in Texas, not just because of the weather. It's exceedingly odd to jail random people for no legal cause, for months. Hope this mess gets straightened out soon. Do any of the Texas people here have an idea what's going on with these situations? Apparently there are something like 170 people being held for million dollar bail who weren't connected to the violence by any sort of evidence.

Baylor Graduate Sues

"The lawsuit says Clendennen, of Hewitt, a Baylor University graduate and local business owner who turned 30 two days after the shootout, has no prior criminal record and has suffered personal and monetary losses as a result of his arrest and detention.

"Broden says Clendennen's civil rights under the Constitution's 4th and 14th Amendment rights were violated by his illegal arrest and detention.....When fighting broke out in the parking lot of Twin Peaks, Clendennen took cover inside the restaurant and did not participate in any of the violence that led to nine deaths and 18 injuries, the suit says.

"Clendennen's arrest resulted in his ex-wife's filing to gain full custody of their children and that his continued detention may cause him to lose his business, the suit says.

"In order to arrest somebody in the United States, the Supreme Court has made clear that there must be individualized probable cause to believe that a particular person actually committed a crime. In this case, there was absolutely no evidence that Mr. Clendennen committed any crime", Broden said."

I wouldn't count on anything within the "legal" system in Texas being sorted out....the Governor is a former circuit judge and some of the verdicts HE handed down were disgraceful...so don't count on "justice" down here.

It is somewhat delightful that the more recalcitrant the Republicans become, the more they have been losing the fights where they've been drawing the lines.
