That is the most asinine complaint to level against our post commissioners, dogs. Compared to the Blaine County Oklahoma board of commissioners, who wore plaid shirts with overalls, the business casual look of our commissioners is more than respectful, considering their part-time commitment. pubby

Court sessions are open to the public as a matter of tradition and law. Secret courts are limited in the USA to national security matters before the special FISA? courts. pubby

When I voted shortly before noon, there had been 62 voters at the courthouse. pubby

Yeah, but you don't think these folks could smuggle them regardless of the level of security? Playing defense against this kind of threat is difficult even in a police state. Ask Putin about things like the Checken school massacre. BTW: Here is a link to a compilation of Russian terrorist attacks. We don't get as worked up over these attacks as those in Paris in large part because the media doesn't have the same access, Putin and his puppets being not so transparent. You should also know that Russia has contributed thousands of ISIS members ... they're really great at generating ter

Tin foil hat stuff, my ass. You need to get your head out of your ass. TPM analyzed the situation and didn't even bring in the stolen DNC emails: Here's the gut of the article:

What if Putin, and his ally the president of Syria, were smuggling ISIS killers out of Syria to create mayhem in the west? What do you think the former KGB agent wouldn't do to install his friend Donald Trump in the white house and enhance the political position of his other friend, whom he has openly backed, Marine La Penn? Do your really have any idea how far Putin will go to get his way? People like him - Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Mao, Napoleon and others throughout history have literally been responsible for the deaths of millions in their quest for domination. What about Puti

That is a good link but possibly a better one is to the video for represent.us. here: enjoy this If you actually read the article and the discussion of MLK in the piece you'd see that his take was that the real divide in the society is between the wealthy and the poor of all races and that racism, in all its forms blatant to sublime, was the invention of the elites to keep the people from joining together to really make the people of America first. Truly the author was dismissive of Trump's contention that he alone has your back and will do this. The reality is that i

Russia and its kleptocrats are a special interest group that make the morals of the Mafia look uplifting. Do you think there is not Russian mob operating in the US? (Hint, their capos live in condos in buildings with a famous con man's name on them.) Don't be surprised if they don't do something like a false-flag terrorist attack on a Trump property in western Europe where hundreds are killed; blaming it on Isis but actually using Assad's agents thinking that will throw the election to their guy in DC. Trump has given me the willies for a long long time. pubby

So, what are going to say when you realize that millions flowed to Donald Trump from the Russian Oligarchs and associated kleptocrats. Oh wait, their records are private and contained in his tax documents that he has chosen to keep secret. pubby

Two things: When those you know oppose you write your 'to do list' you got to know it is BS. Two, I sense a certain hypocrisy as you obviously believe money is speech but where is the money. Maybe Trump will send you some. pubby

Really, moved? I didn't notice. Probably because they show up on the recent topics page if the political forum is on. PW is ON. pubby

Rhett: The idea that Paulding would become Riverdale is a myth and a lie. That the four commissioners on the board and Roger Legett perpetuate that lie is a testament to both their individual and collective incompetence. The plain fact is that the courts and the FAA will determine the future of Silver Comet Field and the only legitimate position for those seeking to serve the county is that they will abide by the decision of the courts and do what is best for the county from that point on. Personally, I'll admit, that I think Silver Comet Field has a great future as a small commer

This is the most absurd story. What was the fence for? Probably a lot of it is parking. It is a chain link ... you can see through it and protest through it. My understanding is that the areas for protest are larger and designed to accommodate more people. Next I expect to see an article about "sky falling" at Democratic Convention. Yep, it will be couched in terms like this: God, frowning on the godless commie democrats, unleashed great fury as the entire sky inside teh convention center seemed to disintegrate and fall on the sinners that make up Donald J is for Jesus Trump's en

Open Records Request isAdventure in Wonderland When Cecelia McMichen made her open records request onChairman candidate Roger Legett last May, she was followingup on rumors regarding past statements and his reputation asbeing a ladies man.

Actually for most of my life including now, foreign policy has be a bi-partisan thing so your leftist bs is just that, bs. I'm not putting words in your mouth. I am not responsible that you don't get the if-then logic that has virtually every conservative national security expert (from the Republican side) has said that Trump is unqualified. Here is the letter: From wapo: Bottom line, loyal Republicans who work in the foreign policy field think the guy's thoughts on foreign policy are counter to the interests of the country. You can look up the coverage of this letter

Let's see, you say first that you are not naive or easily duped and then say Putin puts his country first. Pardon me while I chuckle. I think most folks would like a positive relationship with Russia but re-acquiring countries makes that kind of difficult. What most of the more astute folks in international relations see happening in Ukraine is something more akin to Hitler and his interest in Austria. That would make Trump sound more like a willing, rather than somber, Chamberlain. We know the cold war is over. You really have drank the kool aid if you think Obama is trying

smokediver: You are either naive or easily duped. What is obvious is there is a set of exceedingly rich kleptocrats in Russia and they are seeking to regain the economic base in eastern Europe that once kept the 'communist leadership' living very comfortably in the former Soviet Union. When you have that much money - especially when it is basically stolen money - you spend it in ways to let you steal more. Right now, the US government's foreign policy is to support NATO to keep Moscow and Putin from recapturing these states under Russia. It also is resisting Ukraine's bid for in

Yes it did and every effort to link decisions associated with that have been shot down pretty effectively. What I see in that is almost an act of framing Hillary by Putin, whom I have a real strong feeling is secretly backing The Donald and has been since before he came out with his Obama born in Kenya yarn in 2011. I think if you throw what Vlad knows about disinformation campaigns in with what folks like Gen.Flynn know, you have the makings of a pretty sophisticated propaganda effort aimed at installing Vlad's preferred candidate in the white house. This is what you run into when

The county attorney is a citizen and can vote and as an indepent contractor, there is no hatch act. Further, the person has protection of the first amendment of the constitution. It may not be wise to openly support one candidate over another. pubby

GD: The GOP has been crying wolf since Jimmy Carter said we needed to wean ourselves from Middle East oil. It has been one unsubstantiated charge after another, after another, after another in a continuous Daniel Segretti -like electoral rattrucking exercise. So many allegations and ultimately, you've pointed out some odd things but you've not gotten the guilty conviction. Frankly, I'm not one who is fond of lynch mobs and, whether you're talking about Mexican immigrants who are rapists or Hillary and her email server, what I see is a lynch mob hoping to get a warm body the have sw

I know you have no knowledge ... hell it is probably about the same amount of knowledge as Trump ... in regard to Putin and Russia. We know, for instance, that Putin has been funding the populist right movements of La Penn in France and Burlisconi in Italy and has gained support for some of his initiatives through them. We also know that Trump went bankrupt twice since 2006 and certainly has had moments - historically had moments - when he could use some cash. We know that Putin and Obama haven't had much good to say about each other since about 2011 which is, coincidentally, when

Here is a blog of a 30-year Republican - a former Texan - whose domain is http://www.goplifer.com and who resigned because of his estimation of Donald Trump. From his letter of resignation. Are you really suggesting this guy is passing around the kool aid because he's the media? Are you really oblivious to the narrative inherent in his rhetoric that we are all cowards. Fearful people, convinced of our inadequacy, trembling before a world alight with imaginary threats and craveing a 'strong man' demagogue to fight for us and replace our timid voices. Come on... get friggin rea
