Sarah Sanders on Morning Joke...what a dumb bunny...didn't she anticipate obvious ?s; clearly not

Personally, I thought Comey should have been fired by Obama - he's a glorified Archie Bunker who manipulated the election and let the Russians get away with a crime spree. Now that the Russian involvement is becoming more than obvious, Trump is having a panic attack - and putting Stupid Sarah on TV can't fix it.

On Morning Joke one of the commentators just said he "feels sorry for people like Sarah trying to explain the actions of Trump".

That said, Sarah Sanders talks like a junior high debate club contestant. Minimal logic, a couple shallow talking points, no real understanding of the issues, and a lost puppy.

Kellyanne is out, Spicer is getting a daily toasting from the entire press corps, and now they've fired half of Fox. The big question is how long it will take before some of the GOP starts throwing Trump and company under the bus. Likely a year from now, Sarah will be a one show footnote.

Lindsey Grahm is supposed to be on, which is why I even turned it on today.

Miami state senator curses at black lawmaker and refers to fellow Republicans as niggas

TALLAHASSEE
Miami Republican Sen. Frank Artiles dropped the n-word to a pair of African-American colleagues in private conversation Monday night — after calling one of them a “fucking asshole,” a “bitch” and a “girl,” the two senators said.

Over drinks after 10 p.m. at the members-only Governors Club just steps from the state Capitol, Artiles told Sens. Audrey Gibson of Jacksonville and Perry Thurston of Fort Lauderdale that Senate President Joe Negron of Stuart had risen to his powerful GOP leadership role because “six niggers” in the Republican caucus had elected him.

Artiles later told Gibson and Thurston that he’d used the word “niggas,” suggesting the slang term was not meant to be insulting, Gibson and Thurston said. It’s unclear whom Artiles was referring to, since the only black senators in the state Senate are all Democrats — and none of them backed Negron’s bid to lead the chamber.

“He called Joe Negron a pussy,” Thurston said.

I don't know this source...but it's an interesting report on election manipulation/problems in FL

http://www.rubenmajor.com/2017/04/13/florida-general-election-problems-indicate-potential-vote-count-hacking/

Shortly after the election, the National Association of Voting Officials requested a copy of any errors or inconsistencies related to voting machine problems. The request was made using the Freedom of Information Act which was ultimately granted. Although many of the documents have extensive redaction marks, the fact is that there are numerous and significant complaints throughout the state and country which necessitate a full and open investigation. Many of these complaints have been cataloged by the Voting Section of the Department of Justice.


On November 7, 2017 at 3:39PM, during early voting, a report came into the U.S. Department of Justice Voting Section stating that there was a “paper trail showing Donald Trump” when the voter selected Hillary Clinton.


On December 2, 2016, Protect Our Elections filed suit alleging hacking and interference. In the lawsuit they explained that they believed Clinton won the state of Florida. Various reports of malfunctioning voting machines as well as problems in the primary election with regard to the voter registration systems.


I witness a DRE that flipped votes in Florida, so I know it happens.

Guy Mauled by Croc After Jumping in River to Prove Point

An Australian teenager mauled after getting drunk and jumping into a crocodile-infested river to impress a woman he had just met denies being "one of the stupidest people around."

"Haters gonna hate," says 18-year-old Lee De Paauw, per the Courier-Mail. He suffered gouges and two broken bones in his left arm Saturday night after jumping into the river near the town of Innisfail, Queensland, and being attacked by a croc almost immediately.

Drone wars!!!

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39277940?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook

A Patriot missile - usually priced at about $3m (£2.5m) - was used to shoot down a small quadcopter drone, according to a US general.
The strike was made by a US ally, Gen David Perkins told a military symposium.
"That quadcopter that cost 200 bucks from Amazon.com did not stand a chance against a Patriot," he said.
