Once the public starts laughing at a politician the game is all down hill. Last evening show, Trevor Noah, did a whole bit about what is wrong with Trump. Well he is an old guy and then goes from there, finalizing it with views of his back end and suggesting he is wearing diapers because he is an old guy.<br /><br />Now back to topic. There are already a couple of petitions demanding that Sessions recuse himself from any investigations. <br /><br />By the time this is over Trump will have to have Kelly Ann out there doing her fake news line over and over again. Spicer isn't going to keep it up by himself. Don't be surprised if he resigns next. Melissa McCarthy is simply too good at imitating him.<br /><br />What will be interesting to see is if they start firing government employees and threatening them with prison for releasing "confidential information". if that happens expect that there will be a whole lot more information. What is very funny is the Trump people accusing federal workers of doing illegal things, while they are reporting on Trump's people's illegal activities. <br /><br />As to the CIA trying to protect democracy, not so much. They're about protecting themselves from Trump and although Trump is President, the CIA can do a lot more damage to Trump than Trump can do to them. They are the keeper of the secrets. Trump and his people know how to get to the building, but get through the doors, without being invited, perhaps not so much. of course Trump could ask Russia to hack the C.I.A. computers and delete the information they have on him. Well he asked them to hack Clinton didn't they.<br /><br />As to Sessions and the bunch of them and the Russians, looks like McCain and two other senators aren't too happy about things. This may not go well for Trump. As to Sessions, he isn't in Alabama anymore.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-65589330712090143452017-02-16T10:42:58.789-06:002017-02-16T10:42:58.789-06:00Error:

Cliff <br />contacted you yesterday asking that his name be removed from any posts on your web site. It seems one of your community has been posting as "Cliff Sims" or "Clifford", but this is not Cliff Sims. Continuing to allow these posts or whatever they are is damaging Cliff's reputation, <br />and could be the basis for legal action against you.<br /><br />I have asked Don McGahn's assistant to draft a letter to you indicating our position <br />on this. Without question the following <br />four individuals possess rights of publicity under law and you are forbidden from profiting from their likenesses without their permission:<br /><br /><br />1. Clifford "Cliff" Sims<br />2. Thomas Bryant "Tom" Cotton<br />3. Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III <br />4. Luther Johnson Strange III<br /><br /><br />We would like to resolve this today in good faith without <br />resorting to other actions that will see your blog removed from Google and you yourself inconvenienced in various <br />ways.

His name is highlighted, and when you click on it, you go to his Twitter page. But I'm guessing that kind of thing can be faked. I sent him a query via Facebook PM today and asked if that comment was from him. I've received no reply, so that points to it being him. <br /><br />If so, you are right -- he is losing it. It might be a sign of WH stress under the Flynn scandal.<br /><br />I'm guessing Sims is not all that bright, but I would be amazed if he was stupid enough to actually write and send a comment like that. At the moment, I'm 50-50. legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-21632099880941971182017-02-15T21:52:36.884-06:002017-02-15T21:52:36.884-06:00Boy, sounds like Cliff Sims is losing it!Boy, sounds like Cliff Sims is losing it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-83603553917016163362017-02-15T19:55:54.586-06:002017-02-15T19:55:54.586-06:00Aboard the Eliza Battle the crew were enjoying som...Aboard the Eliza Battle the crew were enjoying some down time. Sheldon recalled that he had feared the Eliza Battle had lost one of her allies when Bob Yancey let Beka fire the cannon during the salute of the General. When Beka lit the fuse and yelled "Fire in the Hole", Bentley's legs got all wobbly and his face turned pale and then he hit the deck. But Beka gave him a wack with a spoon and he woke right up. Dr. Foreman said there was a medical term for the maneuver. The Heimlich maneuver is named after the Hemlock wood. The maneuver Beka performed is the Mahogany maneuver. It is named after Wanda's Mahogany wood desk. When ever Wanda left her desk, Beka wacked The Luv Guv with a spoon.<br /> Admiral Tryon while discussing the war with Eliza Yancey commented that Mike was lucky that the Russians Hacked the Democratic e-mails. The Stranger in the Shadows joined in the conversation saying"Never happened". Karl Rove started the e-mail diversion when his Super Pac ran ads during the Iowa Caucus. The Russians wanted Clinton to win. The Admiral responded that he did not understand why the Russians wanted Clinton to win. The Stranger said the Victoria had given the Aurora a list of the Obama-Clinton dirty laundry. The Russians could have blackmailed Clinton. The Victoria knew the FEDS would intercept the message to the homeland from the Aurora and take appropriate action. The Big Ape was supposed to remain Alabama Attorney General and keep Mike's plan to clear his name shut down. Now the New US Attorney General will have to go after Bentley and the New Alabama Attorney General to shut down Mike's plan to clear his name. But! People underestimate Mike. He has a plan.
