Vegas is a huge retirement place, actually. Go out toward Summerlin. When my MIL (& step-FIL) moved there over 20 years ago, it was because there was a large retirement-age crowd - the lack of humidity was great for aging joints (the humidity in the summer has crawled up due to all the pools and people, but in the winter there is still almost no humidity). I will say it has gotten insane there in the last 15+ years traffic-wise. The housing crash settled things down a bit, but the last few years people have moved there in droves. Why? No idea. The desert does not appeal to me, the weather absolutely sucks, and at some point, the water runs out, but a lot of people absolutely love it. Will Vegas support an NFL team? Right now the general population is hyped up about it. When the team has a shiny new feel to it I think it will do well. If the team falters and delivers a few sucky seasons? All bets are off.

My guess would be the 26th as that is the day Amazon has scheduled for it to be published and sold (WaPo has their own version coming out that day too).

He's already testified before Congress twice, and for Mueller. Not only is this "get Trump", but isolate Trump, and make anyone who works for him in any capacity "pay" so that no one will work for the Trump administration in the future. I guess Nadler got his moment, but pound sand seems to be the response. (video) at link </snip> After enduring six-figure legal costs that I was only able to pay with GoFundMe donations from 8,500 people – no big donor aid, no campaign help, no Patriot Fund assistance – I am reticent to stand alone in defiance of the committee and rack up far more legal bills. But I might, if others among the 81 join me. This charade has gone on long enough. Somebody has to be the first to take a stand. For the sake of my family – for 81 families – it might as well be me.

More yellow vest activity (the number of protestors is on the decline): Demonstrations in France, sit-ins near the Eiffel Tower and a flashmob at Charles de Gaulle airport: the Yellow Vests are organising a weekend of new types of protest for their Act 17 to try to combat falling numbers. This comes before what protestors are calling the "Ultimatum" on March 16, to mark the end of President Emmanuel Macron’s three months of "Great National Debate".

I did not know "transracial" was a term - although why I am surprised to find out it is, I do not know.

(thread) it is unrolled ---> here This may overlap to some of @Deranged Rhino 's woo-woo Q stuff. ?

268 pages. Question... is he allowed to do this? I mean he did it, but isn't this considered leaking? And just skimming it very, very quickly... I think there is a reason Ohr is still employed. Mr. Ohr. I provided information to the FBI when I thought Christopher Steele was, as I said, desperate that Trump not be elected. So, yes, of course, I provided that to the FBI. Mr. Ratcliffe. Yes. And so were the Department of Justice and THE FBI also aware of Glenn Simpson's bias against Donald Trump? Mr. Ohr. I certainly told the FBI that Fusion GPS was working with -- doing opposition research on Donald Trump. Mr. Ratcliffe. Okay. So, again, so the record is clear, what the Department of Justice and the FBI was aware of prior to the first FISA application was your relationship with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson, your wife's relationship with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson, Mr. Steele's bias against Donald Trump, Mr. Simpson's bias against Donald Trump, your wife's compensation for work for Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS, correct? Mr. Ohr. Right. So just, again, to reiterate, when I spoke with the FBI, I told them my wife was working for Fusion GPS. I told them Fusion GPS was doing research on Donald Trump. You know, I don't know if I used the term opposition research, but certainly that was my -- what I tried to convey to them. I told them this is the information I had gotten from Chris Steele. At some point, and I don't remember exactly when, I don't think it was the first conversation, I told them that Chris Steele was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected. So those are all facts that I provided to the FBI. </snip> Mr. Ratcliffe. Mr. Ohr, the reason I hesitated before is I don't want to start, my time is about to expire and I want to start a new topic. I'll leave it for the next hour. But it relates to your interviews with the FBI. And just so that I'm clear and can be thinking about this, it's my understanding -- I have seen that you sat down with the FBI on 12 different occasions, or I have seen 302s that relate to 12 different interviews that you gave between November 22 of 2016 and May 15 of 2017. My only question for you right now is, did you have interviews with the FBI regarding these matters after May 15 of 2017.

Holy crud! I just saw that. Maybe it will cut down on the "hate crime" hoaxes?

No one (including the article) said it would be easy to find someone.

"Unethical" ... wow, aren't you polite?

Cliff notes: This is mostly opinion and conjecture (not all though), but some of the highlights: • Strong "buyer beware". • Never caught a TD pass with another QB (other than Big Ben). • He buries his QB on the field repeatedly (going back years now). • This would be Randy Moss in Oakland all over again. • The GM who trades for him should be fired on the spot. • Choreographed by agent + player to get him out of his situation...(to get him to free agency). • He (AB) did blow up this trade (from what Flillipponi heard).

LINDSEY GRAHAM REBOOTS FISA ABUSE INVESTIGATION WITH EXPANSIVE DOJ DOCUMENT REQUEST Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham is resuming an investigation of potential surveillance abuse by the FBI with an expansive request for records related to the bureau’s vetting of the Steele dossier. In a letter sent Thursday to Attorney General William Barr, Graham asked for all FBI and Justice Department documents related to investigators’ attempts to verify allegations made in the dossier, which was authored by former British spy Christopher Steele and funded by Democrats. </snip>

Considering the source, grain of salt. However, if donations become (are) impacted by her antisemitism, it wouldn't shock me. Some Democrats have had enough of the repeated antisemitism coming from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and intend to primary her out of office. </snip> Several Democrats, speaking on condition of anonymity, described Omar’s repeated antisemitic episodes as “the elephant in the room” distracting from what Democrats are trying to do in their first few months of a new House majority heading into the all-important 2020 presidential election. As such, these Democrats say, they are seeking out a primary challenger in Minnesota’s fifth congressional district to remove her from office in the 2020 congressional elections. </snip>

NJ, IL, and CA say "hi".

We are on standard time for what, four months now?

1) Really? 'Cause I could not think of any other reason why anyone would consider him a "scumbag" otherwise. 2) No. Please educate yourself. Syria was not a whim. He has stated since he started running we need to stop being the world's policeman, stop the endless wars. He left a few troops in there to appease the Rs who do want our fingers in every pie. As far as any intervening in Kushner's clearance - good thing Democrats are leaking that information! Numerous people from past administrations have stated it is the president's prerogative, full stop. Otherwise, clearances can be held indefinitely (sorta like all the heads of agencies were slow-walked in the Senate due to Democratic "rules" obstruction so President Trump could not have his people in place, allowing for even more obstruction by holdovers). 3) He is the boss. The boss makes the final big decisions. You listen to your people, you give them a certain level of autonomy, but the big decisions need to be yours when you are in charge. And, as the boss, he also needs to decide what is a "big decision". 4) I do not think he rules by fiat at all.

I wish that was not the perception. I think he uses Twitter like a Grand Media Master. He sometimes informs (great way to get out there what the media is hiding) and he sometimes trolls (provoke your enemies). Every once in a while I cringe, but then it becomes apparent in the not too distant future why that cringeworthy Tweet was sent to begin with.

1) He likes women. Makes him a scumbag for sure. {sarcasm} 2) Act on whims!? Holy crap. If he "acted on whims", he would not be a multi-billionaire. One current example of not "acting on a whim" is his holding the cards on the declassification of documents pertaining to "Russia" and the FISA warrants. People have been clamoring for them, but the guy you think acts impulsively has been holding them close ... waiting ... waiting... waiting. 3) He consults experts all the time. What do you think Manafort was presented as? The guy who could round-up the delegate cats and make sure they don't scatter at the RNC. He continues to consult people on foreign relations, armed service, the border, etc., etc. If you think he is not consulting people to make informed decisions, you are not seeing the whole picture. 4) I'm actually quite impressed at how well he handles the media. He made his name a profitable brand exactly because he knows how to handle the media. Is he currently "obsessed" with the negative reporting of him and his administration? I would assume he'd like more than 92% negative press, and that he would like the American people to know about the achievements of his administration. After all, if someone was beating you up daily - all day, every day - you probably wouldn't mind it if the beatings stopped.

What he was convicted of has nothing to do with President Trump or the Trump administration. At all. Zero. Nada. Bupkiss.

So about that house resolution...

Yeah, Bloomberg decided not to run the other day saying he will spend $100M to "stop Donald Trump" (or something along those lines). At some point they will drop due to the economic realities. I have thought Harris was "the chosen one" but if the D internals are as horrible as suspected, I'm not certain why the DNC would want to sacrifice her in 2020. You'd think they would want to push out an "old white" male/female so they could say "LOOK! SEEEEEEE! We need a MINORITY person to run!" and hold her for 2024. *shrug* I have no idea what the Democrats are doing right now though, and I'm not sure they know either.

Well, reading that article, they have ruled out Iowa too, but have not yet ruled out Georgia or Arizona. so, apparently, "there is a chance" (a small one). I'd LOVE to know the internal polls show for both parties.

Priorities USA, one of the largest Democratic super PACs in the country, released a report in February that listed Ohio low on its priorities in the 2020 presidential election. President Donald Trump won Ohio handily in 2016. </snip>
