I just thought of a new catchy song. American Liberals stay away from me. American Liberals honey let me be. Don’t come knocking at my front door. Don’t want to see your face no more. I got more important things to do. Don’t want to spend my time getting old with you. Now liberals please stay away. American Liberals listen to what I say

I'd say use it as written. It's already complete, just "repurpose" it.

We just need to declare that it's referring to all American liberals. Sluts, queers, trannies, snowflakes, males and females alike.

I believe the Guess Who has since apologized for it.

-- It would not be feasible for anyone to do oversight on the FISA court except the Supreme Court. --

And that's not feasible either just due to the volume, plus it would open a HUGE vector for leaks of state secrets.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Rock musicians' knowledge is generally limited to music.

Usually not even that, or they'd be jazz players.

The Beatles later admitted that when they wrote Back in the U.S.S.R they had no idea the Soviet Union was a totalitarian prison.

Really!

I always thought the song was a tongue-in-cheek spoof.

“...rat operative with a nauseating whiney voice, Jessica Tarlov...”

I cannot stand Jessica Tarlov’s voice!!! or her rat talking points. Why does any one at Fox have her on their panels??

[doug from upland]

Thanks. It does not say Microsoft, but I will check it out. I don’t want randomware and spyware.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I would suggest the POTUS, Trump leave Mueller & Rosenstein alone. They both have done a magnificent job of making butt holes out of themselves, destroying their careers & legacy. No sane human being with a functioning mind will ever believe what these low life, buffoons utter and say. Game over, for both Mueller and Rosenstein. Case closed!!!

[DanZ]

Chicoms stealing US fighter design and producing same.

I will surmise that the reason Apple is about to invest money to build factory in U.S. is due to China Intellectual Property Theft. Reminds me of the great U.S. I.P. theft in the 1820s/30s from the U.K. -

[doug from upland]

Thanks. It looks familiar. I missed it. LOL

Laura just sold LifeZette (at a loss...kept minority interest)..but, I wonder how long she can keep up the pace. Her radio show has to be declining as she is gone a lot.

[DungeonMaster]

I guess I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to hear anything any democrat has to say.

Amen to that!

Chuck Toad's contribution to evidence of press collusion ...

CHUCK TODD: The president's allies say the memo proves the entire Russia investigation is illegitimate and that this is just phase one.

Plus will President Trump use the memo to fire the man in charge of the special counsel's investigation, Rod Rosenstein?

White House counsel Don McGahn wrote in his cover letter clearing the release of this memo for public reading. To be clear the memorandum reflects the judgements of its Congressional authors. In other words, the White House counsel is saying this is essentially a political opinion piece.

President Trump is not ruling out firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein

Washington Post reported late last month the following, "Trump's ire at Mueller rose to such a level that then White House ... then-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus grew, quote, 'Incredibly concerned,' that he was going to fire Mueller

REINCE PRIEBUS: ... I never felt that the president was going to fire the special counsel.

[Chuck Toad proceeds to argue a criminal obstruction case into Trump editing remarks about the meeting with Valleyitniskey girl]

[Toad moves on to dissect the case against Flynn]

CHUCK TODD: I want to go the, the central thesis of the Nunes memo is that the FISA Court was misled. ... How much detail should the FISA judge have known and should they have known more than they did?

JOHN BRENNAN: Well, it's so hard to say because we, we don't have access to the underlying information of the Nunes memo which really, you know, clearly indicates that he was being exceptionally partisan in this.

[Unresponsive to the question, and a totally disjointed answer leading to the conclusion]

CHUCK TODD: John Brennan, you're now adding the title of NBC News national security analyst, senior national security analyst. Welcome, welcome aboard.

CHUCK TODD: Welcome back, panel is here. Time for me to be quiet. Washington Post columnist, NBC News analyst Eugene Robinson, Amy Walter, national editor of the Cook Political Report, Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for the PBS NewsHour and Hugh Hewitt, host on the Salem Radio Network. Amy Walter, all right, do you feel like you know more or less about the safety of Robert Mueller's job?

So far, after reading three Sunday chat show transcripts, if there is anything on SOTU it is reference to the immigration debate.

The FBI?

From "Wikipedia:" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doorbell_Rang#The_FBI_and_The_FBI_Nobody_Knows)

"The Doorbell Rang [by Nero Wolfe creator, Rex Stout] generated controversy when it was published, due largely to its unflattering portrayal of the FBI, its director and agents. It was published at a time when the public's attitude toward the FBI was turning critical, not long after Robert F. Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover clashed and the Bureau was coming under fire for its investigations of Martin Luther King. Some dismissed the book: National Observer described it as "little more than an anti-FBI diatribe," and Nero Wolfe fan John Wayne wrote Rex Stout a terse note of goodbye after reading the condensed magazine version.[1]:461 But Clifton Fadiman, quoted in a Viking Press advertisement for The Doorbell Rang, thought it was "… the best of all Nero Wolfe stories." FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in 1961"

[freepertoo]

Boycotting. Who’s playing again?

[Jeff Chandler]

I always thought the song was a tongue-in-cheek spoof.

It was tongue-in-cheek, but written out of a kind of naivete common to that era, the thought that the Soviet Union was "just like us" and hands across the water could bring us all together. You know: stupidity.

[shalom aleichem]

Gotta find a way to oversee. Can’t allow self-regulation. Court appoint a special master (completely cleared to see and hear anything) to monitor, and report to CJ if anything is amiss.

Congress can pass the laws, insert safeguards, and PDJT will sign. If they do not like it, FISA court goes away and AG must apply to other Fed courts for regular criminal warrants.

[DanZ]

Mike Wallass is still ALIVE?

Just not the same when using Chrisy, Chrisy, what day is it. But like the Kenedy mafia - It is a Family thing. They don't call it the Cosa Nostra for nothing

[Alas Babylon!]

{No knife edges were harmed during the making of these grits.}

[Alas Babylon!]

Nuthin’ but trouble with her young’uns.

She has to concentrate on them for awhile. Track, her adult PTSD former Army son tried to kill his Dad recently. Her unmarried older daughter Bristol keeps getting pregnant from various ruffians.

I’m not offering criticism, but I know that’s she’s up to her eyes in woes and working on them.

[laplata]

I know that as well as anyone.

I just don’t make myself sick doing it by being constantly absorbed in it.

To Liberals, the truth is what they want it to be.
