Louisville is a nice city. It's friendly and it really appreciates good music of all kinds. I went to U of K but U of Louisville has an excellent music school. Most importantly Kentucky as a whole is easy to get around. No big heavy traffic jams streets easy to manuver. If your into history we have some very interesting places to visit.
Most prople think because Pappy is so expensive it is the best. Actually Pappy is expensive because back in the 1980's someone broke into their warehouse and stole over a million dollars worth of bourbon (1980 prices) when they caught the theives it was a group of guys who played softball and snorted coke with the owners son. When ask by the judge if they wanted the bourbon back they said no it might be contaminated so they dumped it. It became really hard to get for about ten years which drove the price up. Don't get me wrong it is a fine bourbon but don't let the price fool you. Personally I wouldn't pay that much for any booze!
Every morning I get my NYT Impeachment update - this highlighted the Sondland change in testimony:
"....CROWLEY: His revised testimony is a particularly serious blow to the president. Mr. Sondland is not part of a “Deep State.” He’s not a “radical Democrat.” He’s a political appointee who gave a million dollars to the president’s inaugural. It’s really hard for Mr. Trump and his defenders to explain this away...."
For the first time in nearly 40 years, Democrats have taken control of Columbus, Indiana—the hometown of Vice President Mike Pence.
On Tuesday, Columbus voters saw four Democrats elected to City Council seats, with only three Republican incumbents claiming re-election victory.
In one district, Democrat Jerone Wood beat out Republican incumbent Dascal Bunch by just one vote, according to local newspaper, The Republic.
In another, incumbent Democrat Elaine Wagner beat her GOP opponent, Jim Hartsook by several hundred.
Meanwhile, both of the city's "council at-large" seats went to Democrats, with incumbent Tom Dell retaining power, while Grace Kestler also swept to victory.
Blumenauer also noted that Juli Briskman, the cyclist who lost her job after flipping off President Donald Trump's motorcade in 2017, also won her bid for local office in Virginia in Tuesday's elections. ?? awesome
In a statement, the Indiana Democratic Party celebrated the fact that "Democrats flipped the council in Columbus—hometown of the former governor and Vice President and won commanding majorities in Portage and Evansville."
"The victories underscore the shifting dynamic in the Indiana suburbs," the group said.
Russian media outed the supposed whistleblower's name this morning.
Don Jr. just tweeted the whistleblower's name on twitter.
Disgraceful.
If you see any reporting that uses the whistleblower's supposed name, do not share the link and let the site or publication know that you do not approve.
Please also send positive thoughts, light, and prayers towards the brave whistleblower and their family today. They are in grave danger.
Definitely need to send light to the whistleblower and family. Isn't that illegal for him to do though?
Yeah it is illegal. In fact there is an article this morning which states that the majority of Reps on a Congress disagree with Dump and RedRand on outing whistleblowers. Sonnyboy needs to sit down and shut up. He’s making a fool of himself and making daddy look more and more guilty,if that is possible! I laughed when I read he said that Bevins defeat had nothing to do with a Daddy. Jr was in the state for a rally last mon5h for Bevins and nobody showed up!
Another nail in the coffin for T and his dimwited son. This is illegal and who is to say that the Russians did not just come up with a name. This person and his entire family is now in danger. Democrats don’t need the whistleblower anymore they got all the info they need by T own appointees.
The question (to me) is did the Russians figure this out themselves, or were they told by folks in the US (because we aren't going to be able to put any Russians in prison).
For example, I can see a scenario where Devin Nunes or Jim Jordan found out, told someone who relayed it to a Russian, who relayed it to another Russian with intelligence ties and then they blast it out.
Damn Russians! They figured it out! Oh well, guess we can't extradite them.....no one goes to prison...DARN.
Yeah, but what will they do to him. Nobody is arresting anybody. They can't get people to come in. They DOJ won't do anything. What good is the Rule Of Law? And another thing, I get tired of people saying, "We are better than this". We must not be, because it keeps happening.
I did see someone on MSNBC who said, they aren't sure if the President can demand the name of the whistleblower - because again, it's a situation that has never occurred. As far as other people, I believe she said it's illegal for others to do it. I hope the whistleblower and family are safe.
I go on google at least once a day, and google Moscow Mitch so to help the trending, I haven't bought any, but people can buy Moscow Mitch hats, T-shirts, etc.
My husband spoke and read Russian on an intermediate level. He would read what they were saying about Trump's cooperation with Russia back in 2015, then Trump would deny everything to the American media. It was frustrating to watch. There are enough English language sources for Russian media outlets for English speakers to read along. It's disheartening to watch people fall for the propaganda, especially the Deep State bs.
My disgust for the Republicans and especially for the Trumps is beyond words. I look forward to the day they are all in jail. Donald Jr. just tweeted out the name of the whistleblower! He used the word alleged but the person whose name he gave in now in danger.
I was listening to the radio and The Press Pool was on and the host, Julie Mason was interviewing a WH reporter from some paper (?) sorry, can't remember. Anyhow he was pretty funny. She asked if the mood was glum after the election results and he was like, no, they were excited that he made a difference in Mississippi (that was their "big win") and she was like... well it is just know to be so unheard of for a Republican to win an election in Mississippi" (yeah, she can be a little sarcastic) and he said that if Trump hadn't gone to Kentucky, the feeling was that Bevin wouldn't have gotten any votes. Then they went on about his hatred of cities and how that keeps his base nice and limited (or at least not expanding). He also drew the contrast of how Clinton dealt with the impeachment vs Trump and how Lonny Davis on TV every day speaking for a president is a whole different level of professionalism vs. Guiliani.. and they had a good laugh at that because really, the Guiliani + Trump is like a whole bizarro world once you have the feet of your mind firmly planted in the 90s. He has the worst impeachment game running. Trump also has new spokespeople he is going to pull the rug out from under while they are lying for him. One of them is Pam Bondi (can't stand her).
The whole Bevin thing is hilarious. Taking their best case scenario that Bevin gets 0 votes without Trump(hahaha but go with it), Trump is popular enough in KY to lose to Andy Beshear. Think about what that means to a presidential campaign. Assuming Bevin had at least a few votes without Trump, Trump carried 40ish percent of the vote, which is about his overall approval rating. If Trump and Bevin together cant beat a democrat when GOP voter turnout was pretty big last night, then he now has to question his ability to gain the EC votes from Kentucky now-something that was complete given 36 hours ago.
I have felt that for the past 6 months that whatever approval/poll numbers we've been hearing has been b.s. I think the orange nightmare's numbers are EVEN LOWER than the media tells us. That's my intuition and what I feel so wondering if anyone else gets that.
Youre right. Just look at his twitter replies. 2 years ago it was about 50-50 positive and negative. Today its 5-1 anti Trunp to pro Trump replies.....and that inclused the bots. While its by no means a true measure of voter turnout, it show a sharp decrease in support when compared to earlier ratios.
