Virginia's Fairfax compares himself to lynching victims
h/t Instapundit
[NewsAdvance] Embattled Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax compared himself to Jim Crow-era lynching victims in a surprise speech Sunday, as he resists widespread calls to resign prompted by allegations of sexual assault.

...When he finished his five-minute impromptu speech, stunned senators sat in awkward silence.

Fairfax, who is black, has been accused by two women of sexual assault. Both of the alleged victims are African American.
And if he also raped Caucasian women - in the current climate, one's gotta be really dumb to complain

Video: ‘For the price of a comb': Fundraising ask for Sen. Amy Klobuchar's staff is making the rounds
[Twitchy] "For the price of a comb your can help staffers and provide them with the forks they need"

Her poor staff. LOL Get these people a fork, dammit.

#1  The eating with a comb thing is just plain weird. I'd eat with my hands or put my face in the bowl like a dog before I'd consider the comb.

#3  Eating with utensils is a mark of civilization - even if they are hair grooming utensils.

And nobody had a spork. A Boy Scout is prepared.

Andrew McCabe Concedes James Comey ‘Eroded the Credibility of the FBI’
[BREITBART] Andrew McCabe, the disgraced former acting FBI director, conceded in his new book that James Comey’s infamous decision to hold a presser to announce no charges against 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 her email case worked to "erode the credibility of the FBI."

Perhaps unwittingly lending weight to some of President Trump’s own arguments for ultimately firing Comey, McCabe blasted Comey’s unprecedented presser as possibly doing "long-term damage" to the FBI.

On July 5, 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign, Comey held a notorious presser during which he bypassed Justice Department tradition by unilaterally declaring that "no charges are appropriate" in the case of Clinton’s private email server. It is not the role of the FBI to make such pronouncements.
