DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 9 hours ago
*Mr. and Mrs. Penn* Yesterday, reporting for the *New York Times*, Annie Karni wrote of Mark Penn's "inevitable... long-running political metamorphosis." An alternative interpretation of Penn's meeting with Trump last week is that the inevitability is that two sticky-palmed grifters were meant for each other. Him and his wretched wife, Nancy Jacobson, are two of American politics' most dishonest people, stealing massively from anyone they come in contact with foolish enough to take an eye off either of them.

BBC Comedy Silver

With love: the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on.” - Gregory David Roberts, “Shantaram”

JARED KUSHNER GOT AN UNDESERVED SECURITY CLEARANCE AND I BET THE PUBLIC DOESN'T CARE

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 13 hours ago
I wish I agreed with BooMan -- and many others -- that the corrupt process of obtaining a security clearance for Jared Kushner will become a big problem for the president. If Kushner is exposed in a very serious way, that will reflect badly on Trump in two ways. The first is that the Kushner/Trump relationship is not just a marriage, but also a family alliance coming out of the shady world of New York real estate. It’s unlikely that there any business reasons for denying a Kushner a security clearance that wouldn’t equally apply to a Trump. But the sleaziness of Trump's business ca... more »

She and her mother then submitted an abortion request. That procedure took seven weeks, though, as doctors invoked their right to conscientious objection. ... more »
