Gone.
Wasn't much to begin with, but I think Comey has destroyed what little there was.

What are the consequences for Stone
if he destroys evidence? I've always wondered how they can rely on the honor system.

There is already a post about the billboard. This article has more about the artist and the reaction from the community.
Methuselah in 2020!
Don't let his age fool you. He's a Democrat who appeals to the Christian contingent. He has more experience than all senators combined. What's not to like?

Sounds like maybe another Cold War, but perhaps more.

tRump's Credibility Agenda
Is angering all of our allies a ploy to destroy our credibility among western democracies in order to facilitate an alignment with Russia?
Two in one day: Britain and Germany, and the day isn't over yet!
Tillerson on North Korea: Military action is 'an option'

Seoul (CNN)The US would consider military action against North Korea if it was provoked, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Friday.
Speaking in Seoul at a joint press conference with South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se, Tillerson said Washington's policy of "strategic patience" had ended.
"Certainly, we do not want things to get to a military conflict ... but obviously, if North Korea takes actions that threatens the South Korean forces or our own forces, then that would be met with an appropriate response," he said, in response to a question from CNN.
"If they elevate the threat of their weapons program to a level that we believe that requires action, that option is on the table," Tillerson added.
Marxism in its finest form: Louis Althusser was right
Marxist Althusser wrote about controlling ideology through state apparatuses. One thing we must remember is that, in the final analysis, the State must reproduce the conditions of production in order to survive.
Basically, this means that the State (tRump's ideological apparatus) must control all means of producing and reproducing his brand of ideology. State apparatuses include schools. Defunding public schools and then forcing students into private schools through a voucher system is a means to control ideology. Control what is being taught and you reproduce the conditions of production. The newly graduated school kids go on to espouse tRump ideology, and the cycle continues.

Watch Trump Seemingly Admit That He Knows His Health Care Bill Screws His Voters

CARLSON: This bill has, as once of its centerpieces, tax cuts for investors that would primarily benefit people making over $250,000 a year, who've already done pretty well in the past 10 years, as you know. A Bloomberg analysis showed that counties that voted for you, middle class and working-class counties, would do far less well under this bill than the counties that voted for Hillary, the more affluent counties.
TRUMP: Yeah, Well I know that. I know—
CARLSON: It seems like well, maybe, this isn't consistent with the message of the last election.
TRUMP: A lot of things aren't consistent. But these are going to be negotiated. We're going to go to the Senate, we're going to see what happens in the Senate. Now, right now we have five or six senators who look like maybe they're not gonna, I'm talking about Republicans. Cause we're not going to get one Democrat to vote for us. Again, if this bill were perfect, if it was the greatest thing for Democrats and Republicans, we would not get one Democrat vote. They're going to vote against it. Because of selfish, because of stupidity, because it's politics. It's really bad for our country, what's going on. I mean, what's going on, for years, but it's really bad for our country. We will take care of our people, or I'm not signing it.
