Unlike ex-Sen. Reid or current Senators Leahy and Schumer she was stupid enough to say it in a public venue instead of on the floor of the Senate. They understand little things like Libel and Slander laws better...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) chose a wordless photo to express his reaction to today's Supreme Court ruling upholding President Trump's travel ban from several Muslim-majority nations.
In the image tweeted by his campaign account, McConnell, who blocked Supreme Court hearings for President Obama's nominee Merrick Garland after the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia, is moving in to shake hands with Justice Neil Gorsuch. Been learning from the Sensei?

Gummint unions just got their balls drop kicked over the fence by SCOTUS. I'm going to have to give McConnell credit where credit is due for getting us to Justice Gorsuch.

M. Murcek, yes the unions did get their *&^% drop-kicked: Janus union decision.
"The nation's highest court said Wednesday, in one of the last cases decided this term, that the so-called "fair share" fees non-union members had to pay in roughly two dozen states violated the First Amendment rights of workers by compelling them to support unions they might disagree with." Another good 5-4 decision.

give McConnell credit where credit is due for getting us to Justice Gorsuch.
And many others at all levels of the federal judiciary. The last I read, President Trump’s judge proposals, and the McConnell senate votes are far ahead of the past two presidents, and starting to make a dent in the longstanding backlog of unfilled federal judgeships.
[NYPost] Mike Bloomberg is mulling another run for president ‐ but as a Democrat, sources close to the former three-term mayor said. No surprise there
If he takes the plunge, Bloomberg would be 78 when he's competing in Democratic primaries across the nation.
Last week, he said he would pump $80 million of his vast personal fortune to aid Democrats in the congressional midterm elections this year.
"That's an indication of where his head is at," a Bloomberg insider said Tuesday.
Bloomberg himself hinted at his thinking on June 6, when he was honored at a YMCA fundraiser at Cipriani 42nd Street.
At the end of his speech Bloomberg told the 500 guests, "Before you leave I want to get your cellphone number because I'm thinking of getting the band back together," said one source.
The well-heeled attendees erupted into thunderous applause, believing Bloomberg was telegraphing his interest in taking on President Donald Trump. Please do. I would crawl across broken glass naked to vote against you, bitch

This is the most exciting news I've heard in the last picosecond.

This nanny is not all that well-liked. However, if he wants to blow millions or billions, that's OK with me. The guy is a control freak; guns, sugar...what else?
[POLITICO] President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... declared on Tuesday that Rep. Maxine Waters U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 26.56988043666185 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the 12 black women currently serving in the United States Congress, is a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 41.56782704860319 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was brighter she'd be a Communist... '>Comrade Maxine Waters is now "the face of the Democrats," pushing forward a budding feud with the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, congresswoman who last weekend urged opponents of the president to protest members of his Cabinet wherever they encounter them.
Trump appeared eager to tie Waters’ remarks to the rest of the Democratic Party, even though party leaders, including House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... (D-Calif.), have sought to distance themselves from her comments.
"The face of the Democrats is now Comrade Maxine Waters who, together with Nancy Pelosi, have established a fine leadership team," the president wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning. "They should always stay together and lead the Democrats, who want Open Borders and Unlimited Crime, well into the future....and pick Crooked Hillary for Pres."
Trump's social media post was the latest salvo in the back-and-forth between himself and Waters, who on Monday denied that she had encouraged anyone to "harm" Trump administration officials ‐ as the president suggested she had ‐ and accused Trump of twisting her words.
"I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests," she told news hounds on Capitol Hill, according to CNN. "I have not called for the harm of anybody. This President has lied again when he's saying that I've called for harm."
Waters (D-Calif.) said in a speech Saturday in Los Angeles: "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere"
Those remarks drew criticism from allies of the president and prompted Trump himself to write on Twitter that Waters had "just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement."
And while the California congresswoman denied she was trying to incite violence, members of her own party appeared to distance themselves from her comments, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. Senate minority leader as of 2017. of New York, who said Waters’ call for liberals to publicly hound Trump advisers was "not right" and "not American."
"The president's tactics and behavior should never be emulated," Schumer said in a floor speech on Monday. "It should be repudiated by organized, well-informed and passionate advocacy."

Previously I thought he should go after her district, now I think it's good for the GOP to have Waters as the face of the Democrats. Treat her as if she's the most important Democrat and humiliate them in front of America by the association. Make the Democrats get rid of her themselves, if they can. Chuckle.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] The post-2016 trench warfare between the liberal and establishment wings of the Democratic Party flares up again in Maryland on Tuesday, when voters pick the party’s standard-bearer to take on popular Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican.
Former NAACP leader Ben Jealous, No! Really?
one of the front-runners in recent polls, is campaigning on a Bernard Sanders
“Bernard”??
-style platform of universal health care, free college tuition and marijuana legalization, saying the Democratic base in one of the nation’s most liberal states is ready to embrace "bold ideas" to propel him into the governor’s mansion.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker, who supported Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... in 2016, is touting his longtime experience in local and state government and warning Democratic primary voters that "pretty-sounding words" won’t amount to much if a candidate doesn’t follow through with action.
Mr. Jealous and Mr. Baker have separated themselves in polling from the other six candidates vying for the nomination to take on Mr. Hogan, though there are also a good number of voters who were still undecided heading into Tuesday.
More than 220,000 ballots were cast in early voting from June 14 to June 21. And in a potentially major snag to Tuesday’s proceedings, the state announced Monday that some 80,000 voters may have to cast provisional ballots because some address and party changes weren’t properly recorded ‐ about four times what state officials had originally estimated over the weekend.

"pretty-sounding words" won’t amount to much if a candidate doesn’t follow through with action.
Oh, the irony and lack of self awareness is thick with this one.
[FOXNEWS] The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in favor of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers that counsel pregnant women to make choices other than abortion, invalidating a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, law requiring them to prominently post information on how to obtain a state-funded abortion.
The court, in a 5-4 ruling, said the state law likely violates the First Amendment. The court also cast doubts on similar laws in Hawaii and Illinois.
The state regulations, targeting centers that provide counseling-related services with the goal of helping women make choices other than abortion, demanded such centers prominently post information on how to obtain abortion and contraception.
The law also required unlicensed, non-medical facilities to inform clients that they are not licensed medical providers. If pregnancy centers fail to comply with the law, they’re fined $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense, according to the law.
Pro-life groups had challenged the regulations, arguing that they violated their free speech rights under the First Amendment. Supporters of the law said that it was necessary since many women were unaware of the options available to them.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected both arguments and upheld the law -- arguing that the state could regulate professional free speech and the law protects public health interests. The Supreme Court reversed that judgement.
Justice Clarence Thomas said in his majority opinion,"California cannot co-opt the licensed facilities to deliver its message for it." He also called the regulations for unlicensed facilities "unjustified and unduly burdensome."
