NY Times plumber unit explores Trump crapper

 Peter Van Buren:

...

There is the expectability question of why Trump would flush documents when shredders and burn bags are literally everywhere in the White House. And why he would do it “periodically,” as Haberman asserts, after finding out it is not a good way of getting rid of something because it only ends up in the wet hands of some plumber. It literally makes no sense.

The closer information gets to something you want to believe is true, the more skeptical you should be. The best example of this is the infamous Steele dossier, and especially the “pee tape,” which were shown to be disinformation created by an actual intelligence officer to discredit Trump. About half the country wanted it to be true. In addition, the supposed tape too easily hit all the usual Trump tropes: hatred of Obama, sexual piggishness (notice how the media fetishistically loves to connect Trump to scatological themes?) and of course the Russians. If it seems too “good” to be true, it probably is.

In addition to considering the source of the information, consider the source of the reporting — what do they have to gain? In this instance, Haberman released her toilet blockbuster to directly promote her new tell-all book on Trump. It is obvious her story is advertising, not journalism. Let’s ask Haberman why she squatted on “reportable” information, flushing it into the MSM public sewer only when she needed to pimp her book.
...

I am guessing she did not get this story from Hillary's associates tapping into Trump's White Hosue emails.  Both stories tell you something about the left obsession with Trump and the need to make up stories to attack him.  They have become real potty mouths when it comes to Trump.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
