And everyone was abitchn that Trump said it was rigged because he was covering for a future loss. No, it's always been rigged, never fixed, and now instead of waiting till the polls close, deal with it now.
[NBCNEWS] After a long and storied career in law enforcement, New York City police Commissioner Bill Bratton on Tuesday announced his resignation. Bratton, a 45-year-veteran of police work who has served as the top cop in Boston, Los Angeles and New York, said he'd be stepping down next month to pursue a job in the private sector.
His departure signals an end of an era, one that saw an almost unfathomable drop in crime but also the rise of mass incarceration and erosion of trust between the police and the communities they serve. In recent years, as high-profile police killings, including the choke-hold death of Eric Garner by police on Staten Island, have sparked nationwide protest and unrest, Bratton has tried to forge new partnerships between officers and people of color.
But for many, the end of Bratton's tenure and his role as one of the most significant forces shaping American policing couldn't have come soon enough.
"Commissioner Bratton was no reformer to communities impacted by abusive and discriminatory policing," said Anthonine Pierre, a front man for Communities United for Police Reform, "no matter how much he and his supporters attempt to promote that fallacy."

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton is leaving the NYPD — for a cushy private-sector job with a firm with close ties to the Clintons, sources told The Post on Tuesday. The company is Teneo Holdings.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Trump sat down in jet Monday after campaigning in Ohio and Pennsylvania
Shared a picture of himself tucking into a KFC bucket meal on board
Seemed about to cut into his piece of chicken with a fork and knife
Protected his plane's table with paper napkins - and the day's newspaper
Has claimed to be a fast food fan and to love McDonald's 'fish delight'
My Mom always taught us it's good manners to eat chicken with a knife and fork unless you're on a picnic or something. And either I've just been visited by D.J. Wu or I've seen that same picture before, and some time ago.

I eat chicken with a knife and fork. The wings are generally not worth much effort, though. I don't eat fried chicken, so that's not an issue.
And I eat pizza with a knife and fork. At least until the piece is short enough and congealed enough to not make a mess. Yes, I know about folding it. I like to control how badly I burn my mouth.
[THEGUARDIAN] A Melbourne street artist who was threatened with a council fine over a provocative mural he painted of US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry L. Stimson ... has responded by covering her image with a niqab.
Maribyrnong council took issue with the original mural, which depicted Clinton wearing a revealing swimsuit with $100 notes tucked into it. The council said residents complained about the piece, which was painted on to the side wall of a scooter shop in Footscray, 5km west of Melbourne.
In a statement, the council said the mural contravened its gender equity policy.

Whatever the artist's intent, Hillary selling America for money, then the nacjib covering is priceless.
I can hear the uncomfortable silence at the coffee houses whether it is islameophobic, or is islameophobic to mention such a thing. Man buns are twisting, face piercings are curling.
Did you know there was one for the Trump side as well? The two as an agit/pop work, well done.
Good thing I am about to retire from roadbuilding.
Building that bridge or expanding that highway just became more difficult under a rigorous standard issued Tuesday by the Obama administration that will make it easier to block a wide range of projects in the name of climate change.
The final guidance broadens the National Environmental Policy Act by requiring agencies to quantify the impact of activities that require federal permits not just on the environment but also on "projected direct and indirect GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions." And the rules for making these 'projections' are written where, exactly?
The White House described the guidance as "another big step in the administration's effort to consider how all types of federal actions will impact climate change and identify opportunities to build climate resilience." Anybody know what the goal of climate engineering is? 75 day time high, 55 night time low, rains only at night, a tenth of an inch three times a week? If you don't have a goal, how do you know when you've reached the end?
The announcement comes after a six-year review process challenged by House and Senate Republicans over a host of concerns, including worries that the update could be used to impose caps on carbon emissions without congressional approval. Congress? Irrelevant! Constitution? Written by dead white guys!

Anybody know what the goal of climate engineering is? Camelot (1968)
[POLITICO] With Donald Trump mired in yet another round of controversy, Democrats are turning up the heat on their GOP colleagues, urging them to turn their backs on the Republican presidential nominee once and for all.
Calls from Democrats for Republicans to abandon Trump are nothing new, but the candidate’s recent spat with the parents of a Moslem-American soldier killed in Iraq in 2004 has increased the volume. After Khizr Khan delivered a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention honoring his fallen son and criticizing Trump, the Manhattan billionaire responded by insinuating that the dear departed captain’s mother had been forbidden to speak and accusing the father of "viciously" attacking him.
The fallout was swift, severe and bipartisan -- Trump’s comments were quickly disavowed by an array of Republican leaders, and none more strongly than Sen. John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... (R-Ariz.), who released a scathing statement in which the former Navy pilot and POW said, "I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates."
But for Democrats eager to seize the political moment, even statements like McCain’s are no longer enough.
At a Tuesday news conference alongside visiting Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... called Trump "unfit to serve as president" and "woefully unprepared to do this job." The president highlighted Trump’s feud with the Khan family as only the most recent evidence supporting those assertions, but also took time to mention the Manhattan billionaire’s lack of "basic knowledge around critical issues" on foreign policy.
Obama then challenged top Republicans like McCain, House Speaker Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to go further than the occasional one-off criticism of Trump.
"The question I think that they have to ask themselves is: If you are repeatedly having to say, in very strong terms, that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him?" Obama said. "What does this say about your party, that this is your standard-bearer?"

Things to come. O can't shut his mouth. Long after the election he will foist media attacks upon all who follow him to protect his legacy. He thinks he is so intelligent and a world leader. We have been here before. Clinton was to be the anointed one for the united states of Europe and world.

If that happens you will see revolution or one could think of it as the restoration of the law of the land. Unintended consequences are always a bytch.

Sounds a bit desperate of the Democrats if you ask me. Typically you would let an opponent destroy themselves (if that was indeed the case). They are trying to increase Republican doubts before the poll numbers they cooked start to correct.
[POLITICO] With just three months until Election Day and the Democrats’ official party apparatus struggling to right itself from months of dysfunction and the scandal caused by the WikiLeaks email hack, interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile cleaned house Tuesday with the ouster of three brass hats.
CEO Amy Dacey, communications director Luis Miranda and chief financial officer Brad Marshall are all leaving the organization, the DNC announced Tuesday afternoon, shortly after staffers were informed of the changes in a meeting. The announcement praised all three outgoing officials, but people familiar say the departures were heavily encouraged.
For days, there has been a chill around the DNC’s Capitol Hill offices as staffers wait to find out about their futures within the organization. Former chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz ...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish... stepped down on the eve of the Democratic National Convention after a mass email hack spawned a host of unflattering revelations -- including what’s been interpreted as bias by the committee toward Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edmund Randolph ... during her primary contest with Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... Brazile has been in place in the DNC offices since Monday, working quickly to begin the rebuilding process and boosting the morale of many staffers. She also announced a transition team to help manage the time before the election and prepare for a new chair, who’ll be elected in January.

Heads roll because they were dumb enough to get caught--not because they were corrupt.

It's not that they were dumb enough to get caught, but that they were stupid enough to leave themselves open to being hacked by someone with an agenda. Richard Nixon is jealous.
[Chicago Tribune] New York Rep. Richard Hanna on Tuesday became the first Republican member of Congress to back Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Tallyrand ... , citing his discomfort with GOP standard-bearer Donald Trump.
"He is unfit to serve our party and cannot lead this country," Hanna said about Trump in an op-ed for Syracuse.com.
Hanna's move came after a day of growing tension between Trump and top House Republican Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... , who told donors that a candidate "can't just run a vague platitude election, hopefully win a personality contest, and then try to bring in transformational, once-in-a-generation reform to an unsuspecting country." Ryan refrained from saying Trump's name during his remarks.
A historian friend observed recently that the two main parties are realigning. Who they will come to represent remains to be seen.

Looks like the Republican party is going to self-purge itself of all of the RINOs. They are so afraid of the Trumpster they are running to momma and blowing their cover.
[WASHINGTONPOST] Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is refusing to back House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in his upcoming primary election, saying in an interview Tuesday that he is "not quite there yet" in endorsing his party’s top-ranking elected official.
Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... in his primary in Arizona, and he singled out Sen. Kelly Ayotte as a weak and disloyal leader in New Hampshire, a state whose presidential primary Trump won handily.
With Ryan’s Wisconsin primary scheduled for next Tuesday, Trump praised the House speaker’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen, for running "a very good campaign." Trump said that Ryan has sought his endorsement -- an assertion that a Ryan front man denied later Tuesday -- but that as of now he is only "giving it very serious consideration."
"I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country," Trump said. "We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet."

I am now at the point of voicing the 'sum of my worst fears.'
Have we underestimated the Clinton's? Is Trump, like Sanders, a populist hologram, a political decoy who was never designed to ascend to the top office in the land ?
#2
"And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet." is just tossing Ryan's own words back at him. I like it. McShame and Ayotte, no loss unless the Republicans can't hold the Senate without them. Holding the Sanate with them is sort of a wash because of their squishiness...

Two can play the game of with-holding support. Trump has a great deal of support; refusal of his support could be enough to get rid of these turncoat Beltway Party RINOs.
#4
Kinda like watching cockroaches run from a bug bomb...the RINOs are scared to death of Donald and seem to think clinging to Hildabeast will help them in the primaries...NOT.
SO all of these RINOs are going to be out of work soon.

Do not believe that Huelskamp was defeated because he was a "never Trump" supporter. He was defeated because establishment Republicans poured incredible amounts of money and expertise into the campaign to elect a Rino and to get rid of one of the more conservative members of Congress.
Lost a good one last night.
I think Heulskamp was snuck attack; there was about 3-4 weeks where there was nothing but Marshall ads, professionally done, big money needed. Associated family came across him professionally, total asshole.
#7
Ryan is a young gun bought off by DC globalist/Saudi money. Just like my rep Mike Turner.
McCain said he "got it" last primary and quickly returned to his rino self.
Presidential candidates rarely endorse in primaries anyway.
#8
I think green ribbon McCain pledged his status to be a sales rep for some of that sweet, sweet 2Fast2Furious arms money action to once a future ISIS.
#10
Is there anyone decent going up against Paul Ryan and John McCain? Are those folks pro-Trump? Trump could go a long way just doing photo ops with such folks while visiting their states. Give those alternates a chance to use the picture of them with Trump in their own ads and Trump wouldn't have to do anything.
#11
So Trump's not even close to being a Conservative. In fact he's taken Liberal positions most of his life. He's only recently declared himself to be a Republican and ever since has shown nothing but contempt for the party. And yet his cheerleaders never hesitate to bash the "RINO's". Does anyone else see the irony here?
#12
I'm no huge fan of Ryan, and I'm not really trusting Nehlen (he has LOTS of personal and business baggage). Nehlen all of a sudden has LOTS of cash, mostly all from out of state, based on his campaign's disclosure.
The Dems would like nothing better than see Ryan purged and Nehlen is a guy they can beat pretty easily. Lots of Dems voting for him in next week's primary (you do not have to declare in Wisconsin). They then couldn't vote for the Dem primary ticket, but what difference does it make?
Won't happen that way in November, though.

@DepotGuy
And Reagan was a Dem most of his life.
Regarding RINO hunting, they been exposed as globalists who are working against Main Street and the middle class. Open Borders, H1B1, the Browning of America, no budget for 8 years, the Iran Deal, TPP, the continue funding of ObamaCare - they deserve every bit of bashing they receive.

CC Heulskamp
Wife said he berated the press then kicked them out of his election acceptance. Something about them a bunch of slanderers totally on the primary opponent's side.
He was one of the good guys; got kicked off the Ag Committee for opposing a pork bill, very pro-2nd. Establishment serves its revenge to protect its well cultivated night soil.
[CNN] President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... offered one of his sharpest denunciations of Donald Trump to date Tuesday, declaring the Republican nominee entirely unfit to serve as president and lambasting Republicans for sticking by their nominee.
The strong rebuke in the White House East Room came after Trump's criticism of the family of a slain Moslem US soldier, along with comments that displayed apparent confusion related to the Russian incursion into Ukraine.
"The Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president," Obama said at a White House news conference with the Prime Minister of Singapore. "He keeps on proving it."
The Trump campaign responded by going after the Democratic nominee as well as the President.
"Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ... has proven herself unfit to serve in any government office," a Trump statement said, listing a number of policy concerns. "Obama-Clinton have single-handedly destabilized the Middle East, handed Iraq, Libya and Syria to ISIS, and allowed our personnel to be slaughtered at Benghazi."
Later Trump in an interview with WJLA said of Obama: "He's a terrible president. He'll probably go down as the worst president in the history of our country. He's been a total disaster."

After all he had to meet a payroll. He had to negociate in good faith. He often had to put his job ahead of his personal desires.
Hmmm... All qualities Obama lacks - even after almost 8 years of on the job training. Some people really don't ever learn.
#2
That is rich. The community organizer speaks. His record in the Senate was a no-show most of the time (that is a good thing--maybe that was his greatest accomplishment). His record as POTUS will go down in history as the biggest failure of all time--south of Jimmuh by far.

I'm sure you are far better than either one of them. Even comparing you to them is a bit disparaging so I apologize. Forgive me.
#10
Yes. SOP prior to 1964.
U.S. Elections were a serious roll in the mud. Andrew Jackson offered to "kill any shithead who wanted to fight" . In some very few ways Trump reminds me a bit of Jackson. Of course Jackson kicked the snap of the injuns and ran off Packingham.
[AmericanMirror] Bonner described the encounter with Clinton:
One of my Last details was for Hillary when she was Secretary of State. She was in Turkey for whatever reason. I helped with sweeps of her DV Quarters and staff vehicles.
Her words to me? "Get that Fucking dog away from me."
Then she turns to her Security Detail and berates them up and down about why that animal was in her quarters. For the next 20 minutes while I sit there waiting to be released she lays into her detail, slamming the door in their faces when she’s done. The Detail lead walks over apologizes and releases me.
I apologize to him for getting him in trouble. His words "Happens every day, Brother"
Not all presidents were so nasty, according to Bonner. Nice.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
