At the meeting with the US Senator Rand Paul, the parties discussed a situation in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Ukraine, the Korean peninsula, and examined the issue of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, fight against international terrorism and cyber criminality.

Konstantin Kosachev, chair of the Council of the Federation Committee on Foreign Affairs, who is under U.S. sanctions, said that Rand Paul "has access to the top U.S. leadership, is close to Donald Trump, and we expect that we will be able to convey our signals through him." pic.twitter.com/OJz1rfYD1R

#Russia's state TV:
Rand Paul says he invited Russian lawmakers to come to Washington. He seems to be gesturing towards Konstantin Kosachev, who can't travel to the U.S., since he is under sanctions. pic.twitter.com/dL3X7VvO9P— Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) August 6, 2018
Remember, #Russia is enjoying even the perception of special access to the Trump Admin. https://t.co/AtlqKcAHjj

That #FailSon DJ kid, on the other hand…
MUELLER: so, this tweet, which outlines conspiracy to solicit assistance from a foreign power in violation of election law — it's accurate?

All the talk about Don Jr calling a blocked number meaning that he was calling his dad is premised on a dubious assumption: that Trump gave his personal number to his oldest son.

Bear in mind, Trump freaking out about Junior’s legal jeopardy has nothing to do with concern about Junior.
Trump is freaking out about the reflection on him.
Trump will turn on him on a dime. If I were Junior, I’d be preparing to get thrown under the bus.

Don Jr, a good buy, never colluded. If he did collude, he was only briefly my son. If he was a permanent son, collusion is totally legal and not a problem. If it’s not legal, Ivana was a wild gal, and he looks nothing like me.
— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) August 6, 2018
The thing is it's entirely plausible that Trump thought of Don Jr. as a coffee boy.

Good morning folks. Polls open here in MO in about an hour & fifteen minutes. I am waking up and getting ready to head to my assigned spot to be a volunteer voter protection person. Hoping at least half the people & issues I am supporting prevail! And that it doesn’t rain too much.
Everyone have a lovely day.
And good luck to the Dem in the OH-12 special.

Blech.

@OzarkHillbilly:
I agree.
Marcopolo
@OzarkHillbilly: So while you are voting today enjoy the fact that Greitens cannot. According to the Post Dispatch he never updated his voting address after moving out of the Governor’s mansion so it would be illegal for him to try to vote today!
And BillinGlendaleCA what are you doing awake?

@?BillinGlendaleCA: This is stuck in my craw this morn: Berkeley police under fire for publishing anti-fascist activists’ names and photos
@Marcopolo: Why do I get the feeling that won’t stop him from trying?

Too much sleep linked to ill health
More than seven or eight hours a night of sleep is associated with higher risk of premature death
I guess that means I’m gonna live forever.

A short while ago, Twitler ended a tweet about the Iran sanctions with: “I am asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less!”
Christ on a pony.
In other news, I keep finding chewed stuffing from SOMETHING strewn about the house, but I can’t locate the source. Badger will be in big fucking trouble when I do, even though he only wants world peace.

Check the underside of tall pieces of stuffed furniture, like a chair. He could be digging out something there.

Commenters, your patience please. The WordPress update changed how comments are treated and I found out the issue last night. I found the solution this morning and will have the fix live once a bit more caffeine kicks in and the hot pad loosens my back up. Sorry for the issue, as I am usually logged in, I didn’t realize it was there until enough complaints yesterday.
Also, there’s now a link to report site issues and to report bad ads, in the sidebar.

Check the underside of any furniture he can crawl under — couch, box springs, etc. Puppies can be crafty!
And not just puppies: A friend couldn’t figure out how her dog could’ve found an electrical wire to chew, thereby doing great damage to his gums, since she’d examined every cord in the house without finding any teethmarks. Months later, she had to move some boxes in her bedroom… and discovered the dumb fvcker had wriggled behind them, popped open an access panel, and chewed on the wiring behind it. Never mind electrocuting himself, it was a miracle he didn’t set the house on fire.
Later, during an obedience class, I mentioned that to a periodontist who was also waiting for his dog’s turn to perform. “Oh, human babies do that too,” he said calmly, “they get a tingle in their gums, and some kids find it addicting. Repairing their gums paid for my kids’ college educations…. “

Source of Badger’s masticated stuffing deposits discovered! As part of our remodeling project to turn the kiddo’s old room into a nano-brewery/zen parlor, we’re ripping out the old carpet. Badger found an ragged edge of a portion of the carpet that is slated for removal and chewed up the padding beneath it. I’m just glad it wasn’t the underside of the sofa.

The slide out ads are the worst, and I think deliberately formatted so that the x to close them doesn’t work until the ad is over anyway. With all the inadvertent clicks I’ve given them I hope the blog coffers have at least increased.

Rand Paul is a complete and utter fraud ?

So every thing Rand Paul says and does in Russia, someone is watching and listening, right? I mean, isn’t that his real value to them?
