Longer worthwhile reading. Coffee or popcorn... "If you’re like me, and decided you have better things to do than keeping an obsessive track of what seems to be an endless stream of day after day detailed revelations about the corruption and lawlessness of the Obama years, the occasional summary of the events so far that fits the pieces of the puzzle into some sort of coherent picture is very helpful. I have to say, what impresses me about such summaries is the punctilious research, objectivity and fairness to a regime which nearly by definition the people putting together such timelines are naturally hostile to. In the years in question, the fourth estate lay like a cur about the heels of a master it adored and all critical faculties fled, taking with it its traditional responsibility to protect the people and the constitution from the creeping illegalities of the totalitarian forces that always lurk behind some political masks of urbanity. In essence, the cynical opinions always under the sheep’s clothing of some elected politicians to the basic precepts of a democracy that they in their secret heart of hearts despise........." thepointman.wordpress.com/2018/03/09/moving-purposefully-towards-the-head-of-the-fish/

Venetian of course, at their nadir preceding the crash.

I wonder why it took so long, letting him serve out his sentence before pardoning? Will this be good for Trump?

I wonder why it took so long, letting him serve out his sentence before pardoning? Will this be good for Trump? It was actually quite swift for legal undertakings. His lawyers had to raise the request for pardon with the DOJ - after Trump was elected (the democrat DoJ were uninterested.) Then the DoJ had to go through the 'take as long as you can it's all billable time' process. As soon as it got to Trump it was approved - as you would expect as he used the case in a lot of his rallies. It is another area that the military will see as the President having their back instead of stabbing it like the previous administration.

His gas ideas were quite good. Gas in my view is the fuel of the future and he was a strong proponent of that option.
I also think a lot of the warmers could be sold on the gas story with economics. Coal is very easy to paint in its native colour.

No - but it has to be answered each time and low information voters accept that it must be true. Strange how the progressives want to chase every dot and comma of 'just an old outdated piece of paper' when it suits their cause.

John Bolton as National Security Adviser will result in the USA being less safe. This decision by President Trump is a horrible!!!!! decision.
