Assuming she wins the nom, who would be in her cabinet?

Huma, obviously, as chief of staff.

David Koch in charge of reforming Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid
Jamie Dimon as SecTreas
Rahm Emanuel as health and human services

Who else?

One News Now

is the webshyte for ultra-conservative christians who prefer to have their facts mangled, chewed, distorted and whitewashed before being fed to them. 24 hours ago, Kasich and Cruz apparently had a plan to cooperate.
Today, that bargain between less than equals already collapsed.

So, this afternoon, what did the AFA write:

A pair of political analysts agree that political tag-teaming by Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich might succeed against Donald Trump.

On Sunday, the two presidential campaigns issued coordinated statements outlining an agreement: Kasich will withdraw his campaign efforts in Indiana, and Cruz will do the same in Oregon and New Mexico.

The strategy is to help the two candidates pull delegates from GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, who is inching closer to 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination. But will it work?

Sandy Rios"If Cruz carries Indiana and gets those delegates, and Kasich [carries] Oregon and New Mexico and gets those," says Sandy Rios, "they will prevent Donald Trump from getting enough delegates to win on the first ballot."

Rios, a radio-talk show host for American Family Radio, has privately endorsed Cruz.

When their very premise is DOA, it is fun to watch their teeny brains start smoldering before they catch on fire.

So multiple polls show Bernie tied or beating Hillary across the country.

Got it.

But the argument from Team Hill we hear most often is, frankly, specious and hollow. She loses to Cruz, Trump, and Kasich. Bernie beats them all. And then there is this:

Where Trump is viewed favorably by 34.5 percent of the likely voters, Cruz is viewed favorably by only 22.3 percent. Trump’s fav-unfav rating of negative 26.1 looks positively sunny compared to Ted Cruz’s rating of negative 48.0.

She loses to those bozos? With such bad negatives? Oh, right. Not only does she share many policy positions with the GOP, she shares in the same net negative ratings.

Tell me again why she is inevitable?

Iceland PM resigns over Panama Papers

Source: Financial Times



In a day of high drama in Reykjavik, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson first tried to hang on to his office by seeking the dissolution of parliament.

But after Iceland’s president refused to grant the request, Mr Gunnlaugsson decided to step down as prime minister but carry on as the head of his Progressive party. Sigurdur Ingi Johansson, the current minister of fisheries and agriculture, will become prime minister.
But it remained unclear how other political parties in Iceland would react and early elections could still be called.

I watched meat depressed this am, with

UpChuck's prerecorded interview with Hillary. She looked horrible. I lasted until upchuck played the video of Hillary losing it and blaming Bernie for lying. Then she laughed. It was the same damned laugh she cackled after learning of khadafi's death.

Reminded me of C.S. Lewis' "That Hideous Sound." The length and strength of that laugh was really strange, strained and totally unnatural.

Let's petition congress to ban drug company advertising.

Anyone else sick and tired of Big Pharma brain washing viewers, convincing them that they need to get Zirelto, Xanax, or any fucking statin ever manufactured? Adult onset diabetes? Muscle and Neuro damage? Screw that. Plus, those who take those drugs do NOT extent their lives nor make the quality of their lives any better. Often, it gets worse.
