Of course not. The John Birch Society was founded by Robert Welch. The Koch family are Texas Oil folk who also developed a new more efficient was of cracking.

Edmund Duffy was an editorial cartoonist with the Baltimore Sun at the same time as H.L. Mencken yet so many of his cartoons done in the 30s seem so pertinent today.

And remember, no President except maybe Ronald Reagan had a greater disregard for the Rule of Law and the US Constitution as well as a greater love for Genocide than Andrew Jackson.

When the goal is to keep government from working, and make no mistake, that is the goal of US Conservatives, this Administration and Congress has been remarkably effective.
Trump has nominated and Congress accepted a long list of totally incompetent heads of agencies and US Federal Court Judges and also succeeded in making sure no bills that will hurt Trumps wealth get passed. Quid Pro Quo ... ?

The impact is that what is being released is "A memo from The House Intelligence Committee" and not simply as the opinion of one Congressman.

Percy writes: Then why is Trump working so hard, and so naively openly and overtly, to obstruct the Mueller investigation? Because the Mueller investigation can look at anything and that might include finances and funding and Russian money and Russian Banks and ... and that is not simply a threat to the President but a real threat to TRUMP, Inc.

Generally the Valley has remained pretty liberal but there has been talk of redistricting such that the balance down here will change. Lloyd Bentsen's family home is just about a mile from my house.

NoNukes writes: Not sure what to make off this report, but Cohen would not answer questions that would help clear things up, like whether Trump was aware of the payment, or why in the heck he used his own money. On its face, Cohen's story would seem to make very little sense. quote: Perhaps it makes sense if the goal is preventing additional reasons to look into the Trump Inc finances.

The Wire Fraud charges open the door into tracing money movements and that is the only thing Trump Inc fears.

It is beyond belief that a Nation would interfere in the internal politics and elections of a foreign nation, particularly as State sponsored and funded secret efforts and disinformation campaigns.
What if the US did anything like that in say, Iran or Syria or Iraq or Lebanon or Egypt or Guatemala or Panama or Chile or Vietnam or Hawaii or Japan or China or the Dominican Republic or Haiti or Nicaragua or Greece or ...

Phat writes: When we do it to them, its to make the world safe for democracy. When they do it to us, it is a war against our way of life. Remember, the Soviet Union, even under Stalin just like China under Mao were Democracies.
Phat writes: Nobody cared when the US tried to influence other governments because it was assumed we were simply paving the way for a better way of life in those oppressed countries. In contrast, there is no way Russia is going to improve our way of life...except perhaps to expose the hypocrisy of our wealthy elite... The people of the nations where the US overthrew democratically elected governments to install a dictator certainly cared.

The threat is not to Trump but to Trump Inc. And that would be decided by the markets not the Senate.

Remember, "Big Brother" was popular with the majority.
There really is a Cult of Ignorance and Dishonesty in the US and unfortunately its foundation is Conservative Evangelical Fundamental Biblical Christianity.
