Did my chores and walked the dog

Now I'm sipping a beer and listening to great guitarists - all instrumentals tho. I don't wanna hear anyone saying anything today.

Did anyone see Rachel Maddow on Desu & Mero?

She was pretty funny, and she nailed Jill Stein for the dinner with Putin and Flynn.

Raw Story has an article and clip up at this link :

I am a Cardinals fan, disgusted (again) by so many other Card fans

So, our new outfielder Dexter Fowler, is married to a woman who immigrated from Iran to America as a child. They had planned to visit Iran in the off season so his wife and daughter could see the Cousins and Aunts and Uncles.

You know to do some of that - FAMILY STUFF - that the "family Values" folks talk about when they discuss white people but disregard for anyone too dark?

But due to the uncertainty surrounding 45's travel ban and court cases it spawned, they cancelled the trip and Fowler characterized that as "Unfortunate"

I know right? What a radical he is. Practically a New Black Panther Party manifesto right there.

Well the ever present "Get A Brain Moran" Redbird supporters went absolutely insane (Insaner? they were never that tightly wrapped to begin with) and began heaping abuse and venom all around the Internets.

St Louis is a nice place (REALLY. NO LIE. THE LOU IS COOL) surrounded by Outer Trumpolia and the fan base includes a large contingent of folks who automatically disliked Dexter... After all, he is guilty of Melanin possession, a capital crime to a lot of these "fans".

Here is a sample:

I've never seen a more clear example of the double standard in the U.S. Justice system

This man was just convicted of trying to recruit others to travel across state lines to a Muslim community to:
Burn their Mosque - Shoot anyone who interfered and destroy homes and property.

This is terrorism. Plain and simple terrorism. So you would expect that he would've been locked up tighter than a drum and is now buried in a cell UNDER a federal prison... Well, not so much, actually

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/robert-doggart-convicted-of-plot-to-recruit-a-militia-to-massacre-muslim-community/

Doggart, who had been confined to his home since his apprehension, was taken into custody following Thursday’s verdict, WRCB TV news reported.

If a group of black Muslims had conspired to cross state lines to burn a white church and shoot white Christians the crater where their home once stood would still be smoking

Latest breakdown/report card on 45 at Whatever Scalzi

Definitely worth a read, here's a taste

Is Trump the Worst President Ever™?

I still hold that spot for James Buchanan, who broke the country in a way that required fighting a war to fix, and also we’re still just three weeks into this administration, so it might be a little early for definitive pronouncements. But it’s also pretty clear that just three weeks in, if Trump is not the worst president since Buchanan, it’s not for lack of trying. His administration is hopelessly corrupt, he’s incurious and a bigot, his advisers are motherfucking white nationalists who aren’t even trying to hide that fact, and he literally has no idea what he’s doing.

In a way it’s exhilarating! Because this administration is entirely outside the experience of anyone, ever — it’s never been this bad, this fast. But then, it’s easy for me to say it’s exhilarating, since I’m one of those people who will be the last to be affected by the immense damage this administration has the potential to cause, and is indeed already causing. Let’s face it: Trump and his party pals are all in for me, Mr. Straight White Rich Dude, whether I want that or not. It’s everyone else they’re screwing, especially if they have a skin shade darker than my own fish-pale pallor, and even more so if they’re Muslim.

Again: I’m embarrassed that my president and his administration are corrupt, ignorant bigots, and I’m embarrassed that when given a choice between corrupt, ignorant bigots and not corrupt ignorant bigots, enough of us decided the corrupt, ignorant bigots would somehow be a refreshing change to make the electoral college go in that direction. But here we are, and this is what we’ve got.

Hello all, looking for some help

Yesterday, samnsara posted in the Elder-caregivers (Group) regarding VA benefits for her father...

Seems to me that there might be some people experienced with the "ins and outs" of the VA here in this group.

Give her a hand if you can - Thanks, TPM
