Particularly good interview that covers much more than the listed hot-button issues. Obama has a great take on foregoing purity tests, scolding, and other subdivisions, in the interest of building an effective coalition.

One of my criteria for selecting a weight loss aid was safety/design for long term use. I knew regaining was all but certain if I stopped any such treatment. So I am using bupropion. Oh, Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi is an asshole, perpetuating the notion that our weight is fully under our control.

Very interesting! Despite the copious and obviously excessive redacting, at least one damning piece of evidence got through. I wonder if this is like Star Wars Rogue One, in this case, with one of the agents leaving one or two incriminating things behind in a blizzard of reluctant redactions.

Even though this might be legit, the optics are terrible. We start launching questionable attacks against small Venezuelan boats allegedly carrying narcotics, there is concern that this is yet another case of blood for oil, we seize a nearly full oil tanker.

What we know about US seizure of oil tanker off Venezuela

The US seizure of a crude oil ship is the latest in a series of escalations in the Trump administration's pressure campaign on Venezuela.

Once we confirm the ACA credits are not going to happen because of Republican cruelty and Dem chicken-shits, we need to have a general strike. Watch my spending drop like like a brick to offset the chicken-shit tax I will now have to pay when they don't come to the negotiating table as promised.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.
