Ya, that certainly makes Trump look better. Such a master spy this Nunes.

Miss her lotsšŸ˜”ā€”although it is sometimes fun to imagine what she would say about all this. What I loved about her was that I’d be stewing and cussing inarticulately about one outrage or another (mostly during W’s time) and then open the paper to see that she had formulated my thoughts perfectly and with biting humor. Made my day many times.

Back in Nunes’ district, some people in downtown Clovis were supporting the congressman.

Melinda Winston, a 62-year-old retiree, said she was disappointed Nunes first went to the president with intelligence he learned in a secret meeting before sharing it with members of the committee he chairs.

ā€œIt seems like he did not handle that very professionally,ā€ said Winston, a Democrat. ā€œIt’s too bad to hear his name on national TV.ā€

Winston voted for Nunes and praised him because his office helped her with the state tax board.

Melvin Mason didn’t fault Nunes for his actions in a job with tremendous pressure.

ā€œI think the guy is just doing his job the best he can,ā€ said Mason, a 71-year-old Democrat and retired truck driver. ā€œIf I was him, I might have done the same thing.ā€

With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans? SMH.

It was, alas, an April Fools Day story…but we can dream. Maybe if we draft him?

The quote does not exist in any book indexed by Google, or Amazon. Zero results…The earliest mention seems to be in the 1982 book ā€œWealth for All: Religion, Politics and Warā€ by R.E. McMaster.

George Takei lives in Los Angeles, and it’s not likely he’s going to relocate to the Fresno/Visalia/Tulare area to run for anything.

Have to chime in with mantan, that’s the kind of thing you get an instinct for doubting.

ā€œā€¦ Yes, very tough job. Trump’s oversized boxers keep getting in my way.ā€

Well, you’ve got plenty of company. :smile: I’m always telling people MARK TWAIN NEVER SAID THAT and some of them tell me what an old-fashioned priggish lame-o I am for actually caring whether or not he said it.

His narcissism overwhelms whatever conscience he may have (none). I mean just given his history of serial sexual assault, the other kinds of crimes he may have committed could be endless. His tax returns alone could be a criminal swamp of lies he does not want journalists probing.

It’s got to be something funky, because he calculated showing them would be worse than not showing them. Speaks for itself. My guess is the thing he’s hiding is something like hundreds of millions of dollars in debt to dodgy foreign entities. Not illegal in itself but not a confidence builder. Just the kind of thing people are uncovering now, released returns or no. Every indication is he went looking for easy money to borrow years ago and the Russkies hooked him like he was the dumbest farm-pond bluegill in the U.S. and A.

I tweeted Takei telling him what a cruel joke it was. I told him I was channeling my inner Kyle ā€œYou Bastard!ā€ Braflovski.

For example, I’m pretty sure she did not say ā€œI’m not prone to argue.ā€
