There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

Linkee-poo Monday

Back. And the alligators have been busy.

So the war is over in Syria. "In an extraordinary statement, the Israeli military confirmed early Monday that it attacked Iranian military targets in Syria." I guess a few of the players didn't get that memo.

"President Donald Trump has lauded the federal employees furloughed or working without pay due to the partial government shutdown, describing those not getting paid as 'great patriots.'" He just doesn't want them to get paid for the work they're doing.

"Four humanitarian aid volunteers were convicted of misdemeanor charges on Friday after leaving food and water for migrants crossing a remote wildlife refuge on the United States-Mexico border in 2017."

"President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani argued Sunday he did not know for sure if Trump spoke with Michael Cohen about his congressional testimony, but that it would not have been significant if Trump did." Yes, to the defense lawyer there is no crime. That's kinda definitional, isn't it?

"Vice President Mike Pence was harshly criticized on Sunday for quoting the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in his most famous speech in defending President Donald Trump's efforts to persuade Congress to fund construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border." Worst segue ever.

An interesting timeline of Trump and the people around him. Not saying they're all connected, but interesting. (Grokked from Xopher Halftongue)
