Let’s check in on Fox News coverage of the Manafort verdict.

Well, that was some hard hitting news coverage.

I’m sooo disappointed. I was expecting to see faux noise trolls’ heads explode.

Done. Thanks for the advice. I’m really stoked about this. 2 phones and 2 laptops and trying to figure if I can run a multi-screen thru my TV Box like it is on the laptops. That would give a near life size image on the TV. I already have a wireless doorbell cam that runs on easily changed rechargeable batteries. I know you can get solar power banks to keep the phone charged but a dedicated doorbell cam is probably cheaper. Be sure and post any ideas.

Almost everyone has an old smart phone in the back of a drawer somewhere.
Here’s a vid showing how to easily retask that old phone. Wifi suggested.

Let’s play a game called ‘Name that person’.
“A person with Peter Pan Syndrome doesn’t want to grow up and mature, and they never get past the egocentric, narcissistic, immature phase of childhood.” Sound familiar?

I don’t know all 62 million names. Ridiculous trick question.

Looks like Robert Kraft might not be the biggest fish to be involved with Cindy Yang.

Disgraced Florida Massage Parlor Owner Linked To LOADS Of Republicans

Hmmm, This might be indicative of nothing, but since religion is being discussed. Someone called in to Thom Hartmann and brought up the fact that the red, white, blue, stars and stripes elephant GOP symbol had changed subtly in 2000 from up pointing stars to down pointing stars which is associated with evil. I’ve always thought that Kushner painted red and with horns and a tail would closely match many representations I’ve seen of the devil. Along with his 666 building that gives me the willies and I’m not religious. Brrrrr.

Leave Tucker alone. You don’t know what it was like growing up on the mean streets of La Jolla.

LOL. A lot of rich towns I’ve visited have bad areas. La Jolla has none.

Clearly you’ve not read any of Tucker’s books. There was an incident where Mommy had to drive a Mercedes that was over 6 months old because the lazy, unionized stevedores at Long Beach didn’t get the replacement off the boat fast enough. The other children at prep school noticed. Scars like that don’t go away.

I would be weighing the choice of ‘mommy’ or ‘mater’.

If you too were wondering why a billionaire like Robert Kraft would go to a seedy strip mall for a BJ off a human trafficked sex slave, rather than just have a top quality professional come to him… I guess we now know. The madame was drumming up business at Donald Trump’s parties. Maybe she gave out coupons?

I think most common folks just want at least a comfortable life for their families and free time to enjoy family and friends. But when I think of the super-rich, I think of Scrooge McDuck in his giant cavernous money filled vault throwing money up in the air. And to me it’s not a stretch to imagine them having a choice between a young beautiful clean $1000 an hour call girl and an old ugly disease infested but free homeless street hooker, they would choose free. So even though I assume you were joking, I don’t think you missed the truth by much.

My pro-Trump relatives still support him. Why? Because they feel he is like them - willfully ignorant, racist, homophobic, and anti-science. That Trump irritates people like me just icing on the cake.

The only race he seems to be against are the mexicans trying to get in the country illegally. Legal hispanics, blacks, asians don’t have a significant problem with him. His views got him elected so those traits mentioned, apparently don’t turn off many of the voters. And those traits have degrees. If he is homophobic, he’s not flaming homophobic so most can brush that aside.

“Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out.” “sh*thole countries” I think that’s either called ‘selective memory’ or alzheimer’s. Oh, BTW Mexican is NOT a race any more than American is a race. “If you tell the truth, you don’t need a good memory.” — Judge Judy SMH
