Well isn`t this delicious! According to the Washington Post and others, our so-called First Lady is suing the Daily Herald for $150 million (Pinky to corner of mouth). Apparently during the campaign The Daily Mail ran an erroneous piece quoting a Slovenian news source that Melania was at one time an escort. The Daily Mail retracted the piece but now lawyer Charles Harder, of Gawker vs Hulk Hogan fame, is suing alleging that Melania has missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to market herself while being FLOTUS. This horrible hit piece has “hurt her chance to launch a broad based commercial brand” of clothing, jewelry, fragrances etc. Does team Trump really want to go there? Even if they have a case, which seems dubious especially if further investigation proves the original claim true, would the Trump base and all other Republicans tolerate Melania turning the West Wing into the Home Shopping Network? Why host the White House Easter egg roll when there are other more profitable events to do? Would the queen of Botox really want to testify that she was going to market the bejesus out of public service. If nothing else a trial might remind the public of some alternative facts, such as her lies about graduating with an architecture degree, her violating the terms of her tourist visa way back when, her penchant for plagiarism, well you get the idea. As Barak Obama would say “ Please FLOTUS, proceed” Link:www.washingtonpost.com/...

Hey McConnell, this is how a minority affects outcomes you dolt!

So I finally get it! Took a stroll over to Red State to get their take on the current "House in Shambles" and stumbled across the above quote. The knee capping of Boehner was because he hadn`t destroyed Obamacare, defunded PP, and undone not just Obama`s entire legacy but FDR`s to boot. The extreme right wing (as if there is any other these days) won majorities in both houses so why wasn`t this getting done, NOW! Of course there is the issue of Senate Dems invoking cloture and presidential vetoes and not nearly enough votes to override but reality be dammned. But here is the warning for those dealing in reality. Essentially a minority just upset the whole Speakership apple cart not once but twice. Within the GOP TP it seems obvious that if a minority can get their way with gumming up the works in their leadership ranks there is no reason why a republican controlled house can`t get there way with the president. Hence the above quote. The piranhas have taken down a leader and a half and are looking for a lot more. As amusing as this has been and clearly proves the R`s are not capable of governing this still sets up a very scary next couple of months. Many of us laughed at the demise of the Orange Man but he really did hold that caucus together far longer than we give him credit for.

Is there more room on the bus?

So Governor Cuomo ( Apparently jockeying for lead spot 2016) is about to get full co-operation from the NY State Assembly to pass a slew of new gun regulations. NY will be the first state to respond with tougher gun regulations in response to the horrific Sandy Hook incident that occurred exactly one month ago today. According to The NY Daily News “The legislative package would expand the state’s existing ban on assault weapons, limit the size of ammunition magazines, place further restrictions on gun sales, and create safeguards to make it more difficult for the mentally ill to own firearms.

Short Diary here. Many of us felt that Senator Reid wouldn`t have gone out on a limb of accusing Mitt Romney about having not paid income taxes for 10 years unless he had some hard evidence. With Mitt`s asinine 47% comments now would be a great time let it fly! I really trust Reid has the goods on this. What is he waiting for, Oct 2?
