Ah well. You know how some Baptists are..

Yes, I still remember the Reverend Wright...

Church of Christ, not Baptist

United Church of Christ (UCC), actually.

Did the Orlando shooter see a YouTube video that was offensive to Muslims? If so, that explains the understandable outrage. Rather than being judgemental, we should understand and affirm it as a valuable perspective.

Besides, It's all Bush's fault.

[Professor Tiger]

I saw Obama's tortured explanation why he refuses to use the term "Islamic extremism."

At least Hillary came by her lady parts honestly.

[bluetick]

Ever hear a conservative use the term "Obama got bin Laden?

[Professor Tiger]

Obama got Bin Ladin. Good for him on that one.

In fact, his drone/special ops strategy is infinitely preferable to the Bush invade-and-American-ize strategy.

Almost as tortured as your attempts at humor in here...

[Toemeesleather]

About the same frequency as truth utterances coming from the PAH.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States:



All you Republicans must write 100 times, "I must not tell lies."

Deep down, you know you deserve to be punished.

Two weeks ago Corker was this close to being Trump's running mate and now he's making #dumptrump statements. Some are holding to the notion that he somehow won't leave the convention as the nominee. Others like Ryan and McConnell now refuse to say anything about him at all. These are truly remarkable times.

Trump will probably pick himself as his VP, to the wild approval of his adherents...

6:12 mark. You'll like this, tick...

Trump will probably pick himself as his VP

a hush falls over a surprise press conference, as a guy who looks suspiciously like Trump but with a fake mustache walks to the podium and announces that he, John Miller Baron, is honored to be on the ticket with the greatest leader of human Americans since the dawn of time

[Jungle Rat]

Trump can suck it. Fucking out if touch wacko.

So much for that June interest-rate increase, and maybe for July and the rest of 2016 too. The Federal Open Market Committee, which had been insisting for months that the economy is healthy enough to take rising rates, capitulated on Wednesday and signaled slow economic growth as far as their eyes can see.

As recently as December, the FOMC members had a median growth estimate for 2016 of 2.4%. By March it had fallen to 2.2%, and on Wednesday it was down to 2%. This follows the Federal Reserve’s consistent record of forecasting error during this expansion in which it has begun every year predicting stronger growth than has always occurred.

....The Fed keeps saying its policies are “accommodative,” and while they have contributed to higher prices in stocks, real estate and other assets, they aren’t accommodating faster growth or broader prosperity.


More distressing, the Fed now predicts growth won’t improve even in 2017-2018. In previous years the FOMC median forecast typically predicted that growth would accelerate in the future to a more normal rate above 3%. But now even the Fed has accepted the new abnormal of 2% being the best we will do. This may be more realistic than its previous optimism, but it also underscores America’s depressing slow-growth reality.
...the Keynesian economists who have run U.S. economic policy since 2008 are clearly stumped. First they said $800 billion in fiscal stimulus would stir a return to prosperity, then they said that monetary stimulus would do the trick. Now they blame their failure on “secular stagnation” and Republicans in Congress whose pro-growth proposals have been blocked at every turn by Senate Democrats and President Obama...Seven years after the recession ended, we know the score: The slowest expansion in decades, falling labor participation rates last seen in the 1970s, mediocre business investment, a declining pace of business start-ups, disappointing wage growth, rising inequality, and an outbreak of angry populism on the left and right.

Enough of this paper crap. Buy gold, land, and guns while they are still legal.

Uh-oh. The Russians are reportedly ready to release Hillary's emails they hacked from her illegal and defenseless server in her basement. They will include the classified material she received and sent with the classification markings removed.

If I were Putin, I would hold on to the emails and blackmail President Hillary with them, early and often.
