MANCHESTER, England, May 23 (Reuters) – At least 19 people were killed and more than 50 injured in an explosion at the end of a concert by U.S. singer Ariana Grande in the English city of Manchester on Monday and two U.S. officials said a suicide bomber was suspected.
There is no Woo Who this morning. It is very disturbing of the jump to continue the attack on President Trump. SAD and embarrassment. Please get a message to Morning Joe and Mika of the total disregard for the loss of life with their opening this morning.
Living in Orlando and the Pulse tragedy I cannot imagine anyone opening with anything more then to take a moment and morn. These are young children, little girls that have been targeted by these losers.
Mika, You owe an apology, even if your MSNBC Leadership want you to continue to drive ratings. You are much better then to open the show with the political versus the reality that has once again shown the evil face.
God Bless the families in Manchester.
Poobah, he’ll surely find a way.
Drumpf’s budget is out. If you’re poor you’re on your own.
I wonder how the unemployed miners in WV & KY like him now.
Btw ping, trump’s stupidity doesn’t stop because tragedy occurs. MSNBC was nonstop coverage of the Manchester tragedy overnight and the Today Show picked that coverage up at 7. And for what it’s worth even morning Joe has been going back-and-forth between political coverage and coverage of the terror attack. Get a grip
Joe & Mika are now into bashing Trump in the A block. They spent months doing it to Hillary every single morning and now are doing it to the Frankenstein’s Monster they are responsible for helping to create.
In the mad scrum for dollars and eyeballs you can’t really expect humanity to take the time to cry over a few young teens whose names no one but their families and friends will remember.
Jamie, mojo this a.m. recounted a peculiar (guess not so peculiar comparatively speaking these days) response from jared when warned of Flynn by joe himself (and Christie)… something on the order of “but he goes with him everywhere… he calms him down”
hard to compute that such an up-tight nervously furtive seeming sort could calm anyone down. more likely to cause one to be anxious, paranoid and just plain riled up
“It is very disturbing of the jump to continue the attack on President Trump.”
mr. pong, not much different when bad things happened in the world during pres. Obama administration when he was blamed for them happening in between the times he was being blamed for all those other scandals of his and Michelle’s.

Here’s a nostalgic look back at the things we used to care about before 2017 rolled around.
ping, young deaths no matter what the politics are indeed sad and should not be used in unseemly ways.

LOL – until I saw the pic above from the Olberman GQ bit I didn’t realize how quickly Hannity is morphing into Newt. The hair and the jowls are coming along nicely , and well, the nastiness has always been there.
pogo, they both will eventually morph into looking like Giuliani and then, transformed once more to a bat, fly away to their master vampire
if those budget cuts to food stamps go thru, there’ll be far more than 22 young deaths to mourn.
Poobah, enjoyed your Huffpo column today – it reminded me that my dad was born in 1927 and would be 90 in November. I inherited Dad’s motorcycle and every Father’s day I go take a ride for a couple of hours to kind of commune with him – I’d do the same on his birthday but more often than not it’s a bit cold here to be riding a motorcycle and enjoy it 4 days before December arrives.
patd… I’m with you. If trump’s budget passes… and he he gets trumpcare passed… a whole lot of people… including young and old… will be meeting the pearly gates sooner than expected. But we won’t hear a peep from any republicans on this blog about that. Especially if they’re wearing Christianity on their sleeves. Like I’ve said… that kind of thinking fuels me!
Happy Real Birthday Papa Crawford!
Rick and I are leaving now. Will be taking the iPad… might post something… or maybe not.
I know this is off subject but the new Yorker had a terrific article on her this week and I tho’t we might enjoy hearing a little of her work. for you all who love good music, enjoy

Dana Milbank on the drumpf “pfugh the poor” budget.
The most interesting part of the column is that Mulvaney was grilled and embarrassed (if that is possible) by a reporter for the Russian state sponsored propaganda organization Sputnik.
“This is, I think, the first time in a long time an administration has written a budget through the eyes of people who actually are paying the taxes. Too often in Washington I think we often think only on the recipient side.”
how terribly cruel and unthinking of us heartless monsters and those stupid people who keep quoting stuff like: What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. [James 2:14-18 ESV ]

Pogo, This version makes my many semesters of French worthwhile
Excellent, Flatus.
By the way, Ou est la salle de bains? That just about exhausts what I can remember from my college French.
La maison de merde?
Still, I recall my greatest accomplishment in spoken French was being able to order a full breakfast for Kumcho and me one frigid morning in Belgium after having driven through the Ardennes from Germany at the crack of dawn. I sensed that the Wehrmacht was hot on our trail.
I think there were lead pipes in the school Ping and Craig attended together.
America first! Well, let’s build bombs for the Saudis, then America, right after that!
Beyond losers. The jerk what done it, anyone who helped him, and, the incomprehensibly sick, idiotic scumbags who now claim responsibility. You murdered, among others, an 8-year old. Do you feel like big men now? Losers, indeed.

Flatus, have they renamed the White House to reflect the conditions there under the present temporary occupant? LOL
KC, lessee, dad’s a Presbyterian (or claims to be if I remember correctly) and he covers the squirrel in respect for the Jewish faith, but his daughter – the real Donald Trump Jr. – who has converted to Judaism and wife do not cover their heads in respect for either the Muslim faith (her dad criticized Michelle Obama for not covering her head when she and Pres O visited the ME) or TRDTJr’s own. I suspect there is either a vacancy in the Office of Protocol or the drumpf clan just doesn’t give a crap.

Well of course Ellis HAD to win – and falling short her campaign HAD to allege she was a victim of irregularities. Now I ask you , is only agreeing to the Bernie! supported candidates the requirement for party unity? Seems to me in the case of CAL, the Ellis refusal to accept the results of the vote is what is standing in the way of that goal.
Poobah, love the art on the wall of the Resort and Fish Camp.
patd, LOL – Melania isn’t walking near enough to him that people would know they are together, and if there was a thought bubble it would say “HELL NO, keep your hand to yourself.”
that’s a real gator skin btw

In fairness to Ivanka, her head was covered at the Western Wall.
Jamie, thanks – I didn’t see the Western Wall pics. Yes, she has on a very stylish thing (what the heck is that?) on her head.
When thinking of the budget keep in mind him being surprised that not everyone, especially Dems, were happy with him firing the FBI director. This budget is the whole desire of Ryan. Ayn Rand would be on fire with it.
The part that gets me, and I was in this position, if you are on SNAP or coming off full Social Security Disability, and told you have to find a job because you will not receive any benefits if you do not. And, it is the Trump Depression due to his economic decisions, enhanced by the repubs hate the poor regime, there are no jobs to be had, tough. You are a loser and do not deserve anything from the moneyed one percent. I was setup, not on purpose, by a person who put me on a track that would end with me losing SSD in 2009, I was stupid to trust his word. But, it all worked out. Obama made hire the disabled and veterans a priority. I was one hundred percent disabled by the state of Colorado. I was also a disabled veteran. A company that handled disabled clients got the contract to get their clients hired by the federal government. I was hired, the hiring group thought they were getting a second base (square, thick and dusty), and they got an all star. Surprised them.
But, it was a federal hire. Something that the floater wants to eliminate.
The people who voted for the floater are the ones that are in the gun site. They do not have jobs, there are no jobs and they will lose their medical (medicaid), their disability checks, and their everything because there are no jobs. Obama kept working to extend unemployment benefits (yay, it helped me for many months), but do not expect the one percent to even care enough to do that.
The only thing the “she said do not touch me” floater has going is that the Congress will change a lot of the proposed decimation of the economy to reduce the appearance of them getting billions off their taxes and make it look better, but we are getting screwed without any fun.
