Nicole went post-tropical at 4AM CDT, but Invest 99L will probably be Otto before the end of the week.
Pierre Trudeau of Canada has 300 unfilled appointments in the government. The opposition wants to know why?
Malcolm Turnbull of Australia got carried away and appointed three ministers to handle ‘defence’. They are supposed to handle different aspects of defense, but no one has produced an actual job description.
Meanwhile, John McCain has said if another Democrat is elected President, a Republican-controlled Senate won’t act on her nominations. Republicans don’t know how to govern, only how to obstruct.
Someone needs to tell Drumpf that It has been done. Because he won’t admit that he can possibly be a loser, he is spreading a conspiracy theory that if he loses it was because the election was rigged. In Weimar Germany it was called the Dolchstoßlegende, the “stabbed-in-the-back myth”. The National Socialist party claimed that the German Army would have won World War I if it hadn’t been ‘stabbed in the back’ by the communists, pacifists, et alia.
Sorry, but losing nearly a billion dollars in a single year [1995] is fairly substantial proof of being a LOSER, not an example of being a competent business man. The problem is that he spent so much time in the spotlight and people found out what a creep and loser he really was.

So he promised three people the job of Minister of Defense and, rather than select one of them, merely appointed all three?
What decisiveness! What courage! Heh.
You really should have a minister in charge with deputies to handle individual areas. It makes no sense to me. How do the contractors know who to bribe?
Why are you surprised? Nobody here is. *shrug*
Hillary Clinton is almost certain to be the next US president
You don’t expect them to screw up the standard process after so many years in power. Given all of the ‘rigging’ that Republican legislatures have done in redrawing districts, Republicans may have actually believed that would win. Trump as their candidate might actually cost them control of the House.
Drumpf has announced that he will accept the results of the election …. if he wins.
Oh my lawdy, somebody said “Election Rigging”! So many folks flopping onto the fainting couches that they’re like to break into flinders.
1- The R’s know what they’re talking about — they’ve got the practical experience.
2- The D’s have demonstrated that they’re no less averse to this practice.
Me, I’m taking some dramamine and going back to bed for another couple of months — or maybe another four years.
And then there is this:
“Hillary Clinton’s recent disclosure of the time it takes to launch a strike after the president pushes the nuclear button could have been against security rules.” Former Pentagon staff told US media.
An unnamed former SEAL officer confirmed to Fox News that Clinton’s disclosure appeared to directly violate direct national security protocols.
“Whether the four minutes is accurate or not, anything having to do with response capability is generally classified.” AFRICOM’s former strategic planner Dan Maguire told Fox News on Thursday. He also said “this showed that the former US secretary of state was incapable of protecting secret information.” Clinton previously came under fire for using a private server to keep classified data.
And:
US President Barack Obama could had known about Hillary Clinton’s use of private server and email account for official business, while she served as secretary of state, despite his recent statements, one of the emails allegedly obtained by WikiLeaks from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s hacked account showed on Thursday.
“Suggest Philippe talk to [White House spokesmen] Josh [Earnest] or Eric [Schultz]. They know POTUS [President Of The United States] and HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] emailed. Josh has been asked about that. Standard practice is not to confirm anything about his email, so his answer to press was that he would not comment/confirm,” Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri said in an email to Clinton’s adviser Philippe Reines on March 8, 2015.
Palmieri added that she recollected that Earnest had also been asked if Obama ever noticed her personal account and the spokesman answered that POTUS had other things than to “focus on his Cabinet’s email addresses.”
😆 Hey, it’s a nice distraction from the crap happening here! And I do love a good Circus! 😉 😀
That is so much crap. It takes as long as it takes. Four minutes may be someone’s goal, but that doesn’t mean anything. Why anyone would waste resources on classifying that is beyond me. Actually most of what is supposed to have been classified has been BS. Some of it would be classified if it came out of DoD, but is meaningless coming out of State. I’m sick of these e-mail rumors and innuendo. I’m sick of the tabloid coverage of this election.
Yeah! You know I understand that! Same here! You know as well as I do that most crap classified is to either cover asses or stop embarrassment. It’s why I was amused about that. 🙂 And unfortunately, neither of us can say it’s anything new!
As usual, what *should be* and *what is* are Worlds apart!
Well, the USA & Aus. finally do have something in common! Circuses & clowns. *shrug*
In a nutshell. Even journalists are discovering that funny isn’t funny any more.
I’ve spent the last five years writing about Australian politics. Send help
Trump v Clinton has resulted in this version of ‘clowns & circuses’. You should be ashamed for cursing me with the ‘suppository’ bit. It took me five minutes to remember ‘repository’ .
Austerity, anxiety, anguish, amorality, … leading features of our countries for at least the last decade. Anyone who believes that pushing the costs onto the poor while sending the benefits to the rich isn’t a total lack of any form of morality is deluding themselves. I’m not limiting the definition to the religious versions but to the innate morality of humans and their nearest simian cousins.
I dunno! I liked that bit! LOL I thought it appropriate, Given I actually was inflicted with the a’hole whilst I was awaiting Surgery in Hospital a few years ago! (Remember?) 😉
Here, maybe this will help:
LOL
Houston, we’ve got a problem: Trump could cost Republicans Texas, polls find
Hmmm.
I have no idea how he thought he was going to win Florida by annoying the mainstays of the Florida Republican Party: Hispanics and veterans. He appealed to the lowest common denominator in the current party – ‘the deplorables’. In a field of over a dozen his 30% support was enough to take all of the marbles.
I think Gary Johnson will be getting a lot of votes that would normally go to the Republican candidate. In Texas he bad-mouthed Ted Cruz and that wasn’t a great technique for getting out the Texas Republican vote.
Seems Iceland is also about to do something weird… LOL
Iceland’s Pirate Party looks set for incredible election win
Seems everyone wants in on the WTF club! LOL
The Pirate Party is a Scandinavian phenomenon started by technies POed about intellectual property laws. They have expanded to other issues. The big problem for the other parties in Iceland were party leaders whose financial affairs were revealed in the Panama Papers leaks. Iceland is really touchy about financial wheeling and dealing – they send bankers to prison. The Pirates are too poor to be corrupt … yet 🙂
Oh! I know quite a bit about the *phenomenon*! LOL It’s spread all over Europe, here (in Aus), UK, even the USA and elsewhere. All are gaining traction (more votes) every year. 🙂 I like it! LOL
So, people have finally woken up in the USA and are hitting Trump (and his kids) in the wallet! LOL
How Donald Trump’s campaign is hurting his children’s future
I’ve had a quickly growing number of “Boycott any Trump & anyone who supports Trump or sells Trump products” on my Twitter feed (such as Amazon, Nordstom, etc.) LOL Good!!
About time too. It’s ALWAYS about the money! (Works both ways!) 😉
And this:
Trump forgot to register critical domains and he’s not getting them back
And it seems the joke “dick lollipops” has caught on big! Apparently, over a thousand have been sent to Drumpf, and he is NOT at all amused! 😆 ROFL
I was told the company that created them is taking PayPal orders now. So I think it’ll be a good investment for me! I need a good laugh! 😆 It’s all over Twitter & FB & going Global, so I expect they company may have to expand production! Significantly! LOL
Can you imagine hundreds of thousands of these arriving at Trump Tower? LMAO Better get shares in this company! At $10 a lollipop, It’s going to be HUGE!
And if by some insanity he actually becomes Prez… expect the WH to be covered with them! 😀 Talk about being a global joke! 😆
I have never considered him anything except an obnoxious jerk, and never heard anyone say anything nice about him, his projects, or his business methods. I have read too many stories about him stiffing the construction workers on his projects, and am too familiar with what happens to them and their families as a result.
It’s like the Cardassians,,, er, Kardashians. Why would their name be a recommendation for anything? Paying extra solely because of a name should be limited to unique products that make their creator famous, not vice versa.
Trump is a dangerous fool who believes too much of his own propaganda.
