BTW, Levee is a strictly American term for something which the rest of the world calls dykes. "Levee" is a New Orleans region expression for a dyke. It's silly to use a highly regional term for something, when there exists a perfectly fine international term for it.

It is a US region term. It is Levee Accreditation. You can take your European English and go straight to hell.

Well... that's where all the perverts, atheists, hookers, dykes, drug addicts and gamblers are. That's my crowd. I think I will.

I see the wide spectrum between" you lost get over it"to "worst genocide'.Do we really know our history?

That gives people three whole days to prepare. Generous.

BTW, that whole text is ridiculous. A better name for Columbus day would be "bad maths appreciation day". They knew the Earth was round in his day, and they knew how big it was. What they didn't know was the existence of America. What stopped people travelling that way to India was food supplies. According to the correct maths Columbus would run out of supplies mid-way. Columbus went anyway. Is this really something to celebrate?

Mike Pence went to a football game, just so he could walk out of it. It must've cost the taxpayers millions to use the anthem to protest a protest that had to do with kneeling during the anthem. In other news about the same thing, conservatives see zero irony, hypocrisy, or batshittery in any of this.

Corker let the cat out of the bag - all the rethuglicans know it's fucked up. But Cheato is still their useful fool.

$200,000, to be exact.... (not "millions")... regardless, an irresponsible spending of taxpayer dollars.

Yabut there's no progress on the single-payer front, so - useful enough, for the moment. At least the ACA preserves the for-profit model that is so near and dear to the hearts of rethuglican donors.

$200K was just for the air travel. There was also the security details, the secure limo that had to be flown in and numerous other costly expenses. Yeah, it's probably not millions but it's a shit-ton of money.

I see Ivana Trump is in the news, shilling a new book. And Melania was hooked on the trolling by Ivana. And Kellyanne Conway says Sen. Corker's statement tweet on Trump was undermining the White House.

Sen. Corker responds to Trump Tweets

"It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning."

A thing of beauty.

Yes, as Corker slips on his own comment.

I surely see it, but it is like the old Thomas Nast cartoons with Boss Tweed: "What are you going to do about it?"

That's funny. Trump demands abject loyalty, but shows all the loyalty of a weathervane...

Oh, like hell they will! Instead, they shall gladly dump all of their kids' trophies and pictures off the mantel, and carefully place those sacred towels personally given to them by the highly esteemed President of the United States in a prominent position of unequaled respect and honor.

Here's a funny interview with Larry Summers on Freakonomics.

http://freakonomics.com/podcast/larry-summers-economist-everyone-hates-love/

So this guy is one of the main heavyweights of American economy. He’s been U.S. Treasury Secretary, a chief economist for the Obama White House and the World Bank, president of Harvard, and a White House economic adviser under President Reagan.

A large part of this podcast is just an entertaining long rant against Trump. Great quotes. "He just shows such a total disregard for facts".

It's fun when distinguished older gentlemen lose it so completely.

Trump wants to end NFL tax breaks. You know, because of the flag burning before the start of every game.

Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!

Not certain what tax breaks that he speaks of.

Many years ago the NFL was listed as a non-profit organization... the CEO of the NFL was earning over 20 million dollars a year.. "non-profit". That all changed when it looked like they were about to get their ass handed to them in court over it, so they elected to revoke their own non-profit status. They have since paid something like 100 million in federal taxes.

Also, there is the issue of their stadiums... the "place of a business" is always a capitalized expense for any business.. .they have to buy or lease their storefront, or warehouse, or whatever... but not the NFL. The TAXPAYER pays the cost of building stadiums... and the NFL collects the profit.

Important to note, I do not have many details on this one, but it is very interesting... Apparently, Trump attempted to create a new football league some time ago... it failed, like all many of his other endeavors... but this time it may not have been for lack of quality management, but due to anti-trust issues where the NFL was able to legally squash any potential fair competition... so, Trump has an issue with the NFL from the start... they wiped out one of his many wiped out businesses.

LOL...read that as well this morning. So much covfefe stupidity in one day, so little time. Another gem from the usual Twattle source:

“Since Congress can't get its act together on HealthCare, I will be using the power of the pen to give great HealthCare to many people – FAST,”

Sure little Donny, your pen is going to do great things for something so complicated. And to quote one of the few intelligent things Don the Con has said: "You can't con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don't deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on."
