  1. Hillary Clinton a compromise candidate? Compromise between Scylla and Charybdis? More like compromise(D)-NY.

  3. The Chicken Heart, thump-thump. I think the remedy was to spread jell-o all over the floor.

  4. Hello Catherine, I hope all is well in your world- I happened to be watching of all things Netflix & I actually saw a really good documentary on opioid drugs devastation in a neighborhood in Louisiana- I think it really shows what your talking about in our local neighborhoods. This thing put feet to the concept & totally made it real – It’s called the Pharmacist! If you have time check it out- your principle of turtle forth comes alive!
    Sincerely
    BTaylor

  5. Catherine, Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt is doubling down on his Kerry-Romney “Hail Mary Pass” ticket as a last ditch effort to stop Trump. How realistic does that look from where you sit?

    1. No idea. If he is saying it, I suspect they are in discussions. Question is would they announce now or wait for the democratic convention when it stalls. If it is true they are likely representing an establishment violently opposed to both Trump (primarily because of damage done to international allies) and Sanders (because of “socialism) and know that if Hillary Clinton is the compromise Democratic candidate, it could destroy the US establishment reputation for good – or at least what is left of it.

      1. I accept that they would try it, but it’s hard to figure it would work without a big buildup, which would allow for a big tear-down. The Hail Mary failed with Brady at one end and Gronk at the other in Super Bowl 52. Neither of these proposed guys is a proven winner. It’s averaging, not additive.

        1. It would only work if they can organize strong support of moderates in both parties. If they got a wide enough coalition it could work. But they would need a lot more on the Republican side.

          1. I think that’s the real challenge, now. Moderates among the Democrats don’t have a home and the Republicans have become so beleaguered by the constant attacks that they would probably not cross over. Some evidence of this is the turnout for Trump in New Hampshire, which was quite substantial even though there was no opposition. I think the whole Hate-Trump-athon has completely backfired if it ever was even a plan and not just emotionally-driven.

  6. Trumps budget proposal is intresting…

    1) SS/Med Untouched to keep the elders complacent.
    2) Rip out the safety net and double down on homeland security
    3) Keep military spending the “Same” but channel a 12% increase into NASA/Space force
    4)Increase federal employee pay
    5)Gut the environment and education.

    This national neoliberalism looks like we’re shifting into a Chinese model.

    Looks like there giving up on the bottom 60%, 80%?

  7. Catherine, what is the agenda behind forcing U.S. Army soldiers to take a revised Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)? I heard one soldier say recently that the older folks won’t be able to pass so they will have to retire or get out, and then the Army will lose a lot of institutional knowledge. That made me think, maybe the Pentagon wants to get rid of its institutional knowledge. I know that sounds weird, but I can think of no other explanation for why they would make soldiers in their 40s and 50s have to take a test where they have to lift 140 lbs and so forth. Also, this bizarre test is “gender-neutral.” This is ridiculous. What do you think is behind all this?

    1. They likely want to clean house and lower expenses, attempting to bring in cheaper, more technology adapted recruits.
