Barr is carrying on as well on other fronts: The feds have ended the probe into hush money payments prior to the election/campaign finance violations related to Story Daniels and Karen McDougal.

Since it appears that a Trump impeachment inquiry is not in the cards, there really does not seem to be any downside to opening impeachment inquires at lower ranks, from Barr down to Supervisory officers overseeing the squalid conditions and inhumane treatment of asylum seekers at the border.

Attorney General Barr's role in the citizenship census fiasco, along with that of Wilbur Ross, needs to be investigated by the House. The presentation of "contrived" (i.e., false) information to the Supreme Court, and the shifting rationale presented for expedited hearing by the Supreme Court are among issues to be looked into. Contempt of Congress is going pretty slow, if it is going at all.

Snopes lists it as "unproven".

It's the kind of thing that could give them cover for this vile behavior.

Just that after all the illegal unconstitutional stuff he has done impeaching him because he said some dumb racist things sort of tends to detract from the real problems.

In that sense, I think we all know people who are so ignorant and stupid that they're rendered utterly incapable of realizing just how ignorant and stupid they actually are. It's an often insufferable characteristic which is often compounded by an overinflated sense of ego. (See also "Palin, former Alaska Gov. Sarah" and "Trump, Donald Sr. and Jr.")

Self-awareness of one's own weaknesses and limitations is actually a valuable personal asset and a strength. And having worked in both the public and private sectors, one consistent trait I've noticed in egotistical bosses in a marked tendency to overestimate their own importance and worth to an organization or agency while concurrently undervaluing the contributions of their subordinates.

It's a tried-and-true formula for demoralization and inefficiency, as employees who feel unappreciated tend to seek other opportunities and move on to greener pastures the first chance they get. Further, high turnover rates in staff tend to get one noticed by one's own superiors and / or board whose members are tasked with oversight, because having to constantly replace staff and train new employees both impedes production and costs money.

Electing such intellectually self-crippled people to public office usually turns out very badly.

Pack all the Democrats into a few districts, and even though they outnumber the GOP voters, they end up with fewer members of congress.

I thought they were all about deregulation in red states?

I think she will allow that.

This is an unnecessary risk. An impeachment inquiry puts the power of the House subpoenas at its zenith--and not using their best shot may be seen as irresponsible given the now televised revelations of ethical, unpatriotic, and, very likely, crimes, of Trump et. al.

And, too, the gloves have been peeled off. The hearing underscored that while Trump may not be federally indicted while in office, he may be after leaving office--putting the options for Trump to (a) get re-elected, by hook or crook, or (b)risk a retirement of tweeting from a jail cell.

 Hopefully, the Democrats realize that they need to prepare for the crook's hooks.

Redford has boarded the upcoming comic book series, despite declaring his retirement from acting last year. This follows Deadline's initial report that the character of President Robert Redford would play a role in HBO's Watchmen.

In the 12th and final issue of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' original Watchmen graphic novel, allusions are made to Robert Redford becoming President of the United States following the events of the comic, which was later confirmed by Doomsday Clock.

Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof previously explained that in the canon of the show, Redford became president in 1992. Thanks to Richard Nixon abolishing presidential term limits during his earlier presidency, Redford has remained in office up until 2019, when series take place.

Option 1: Take the money after signing up for six months of monitoring, and keep whatever is left over after six months. To request the $125, you need to certify you are using a credit monitoring service on the date you submit your claim and will keep it for six months. Credit-reporting services can cost $10 to $30 a month -- or you could use a free service like the one from Credit Karma -- but if you choose one of the lower-priced services, you can walk away with $60 or so.

Option 2: Sign up for 10 years of credit monitoring and sleep better. $125 is a good sum. Ten years of a credit monitoring service could add up to $1,200 up to $3,600 total over time. Which is a larger sum.

Shouldn't surprise anyone. The credit reporting agencies have been screwing the American public for decades. Not including the data breach. So much wrong information is in those files, they aren't worth the disk space they consume.

Mine has wrong addresses, wrong names, wrong dates, etc. Probably because I used to move around a lot. I guess if you stayed in the same place most of your life the data may be somewhat accurate. But certainly not in my case.

No thighs here.
