Sad state of affairs, but when you can’t love the one you’re with, time to get the hell out of the relationship. Cheaters never prosper.

The Census Will Ask A Question It Already Knows Spooks Immigrant Communities
H/T TPM

H/T Raw Story
A Direct Quote from the famous Sheriff Bart of Rock Ridge…

Finally,
Scott Walker Is Trying To Dismantle Democracy in Wisconsin

Subtitle: Instead of following an order to call special elections to fill vacant legislative seats, the governor wants a new law that says they can be left empty for a year.
Another Republican fascist. Does the Republican party have an inexhaustible supply of dickwads?

March 26th

Six years ago today, our nephew Adam was killed in a car crash. Right about now, his friends and co-workers at our office are gathered to honor Adam’s memory by sharing a shot of Dewars, Adam’s favorite drink.

I hoist a shot to you, Adam. You are missed more than I can say.

March 24th MARCH FOR OUR LIVES

We’ve been watching the young speakers at the Washington, DC, “MARCH FOR OUR LIVES” rally, and I am in awe of them. One poised and eloquent speaker is an 11-year-old girl. Right now an 11-year old boy who lost his brother to gun violence is speaking. These “kids” have been forced into early adulthood by horrific events in their lives, and each and every one of them is more than a match for that man-baby terrorizing our White House and our country.

Let the battle begin.

This is our weekend open thread.

Saturnday Edition

Here is the gnuz of the dayish.

Sessions fires McCabe from FBI
H/T The Hill
Time speeds up, the wheel of time turns faster
Mueller crosses the red line of death,
The Prezidunce orders Sessions to Order Rosenstein to fire Mueller, Rosenstein refuses, so Sessions fires him.
Sessions then fires Mueller, and the incompetence-in-chief fires Sessions.
Congress blusters about impeachment, and the nation holds its collective breath…

And,
Donald Trump’s reality show mass-firing threat is a dangerous gimmick
It’s eroding American governance.
H/T Vox
Echoes of his failed management of most of his business endeavors. Bullies make horrible CEOs.

Finally,
Russian Exile Nikolai Glushkov Found Strangled To Death In London
H/T TPM
OK, OK, it may have nothing to do with Trump finances that Mueller is now looking into, but…………

And one final post from The Hill
Dem lawmaker: Trump is purging anyone who isn’t blindly loyal
HT The Hill
Rep Castro points out a serious challenge to our democracy and institutions from this runamok bozo pretending to lead our government.

An incredibly tight finish in a gerrymandered district that went for Trump by 20 points in 2016.
Not exactly a blue wave, but wait till November, when the fairly redistricted state votes again…Blue Tsunami.

Finally,
‘I didn’t even know’: Trump boasts about making up information during meeting with Canada’s Trudeau
H/T Raw Story
