Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

Not all heroes wear capes.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

A consequence of cucumbers

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

We’re not going back!

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

    Russia and money laundering, funny how those words keep popping up

    In 2006, she oversaw the development of the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama City. The project was connected to a Brazilian money launderer later arrested for fraud and forgery as well as a Russian investor who’d previously been jailed in Israel for kidnapping. On Wednesday, a dispute between Trump’s company and the building’s owner turned violent. The journalist Marcy Wheeler has suggested the fight concerns records that may show Ivanka knew the property was laundering money. Police in riot gear stormed the hotel that Ivanka once hyped as “exemplary of the grandeur in which we like to enter a market.”

    Exemplary of the grandeur in which…. The pride of Penn, ladies and gentlemen.

    Edit: Kushner will try to get up a war between Panama and Costa Rica, more likely. And looks like Panama’s major export is final processing of pharmaceuticals and similar products.

    @jl: you don’t have to go down the line of succession – if the Republican ticket one because of the actions of a hostile foreign power then that ticket has no claim to power no matter how far down the line of succession you go . The November 2016 election would be invalidated and either a new election called for or the presidency would be awarded to the other candidate (and remember this is the will of the majority of American voters )

    It would be earth shattering but then again so was Bush V Gore

The whole reason the system is there is exactly because they didn’t trust direct presidential election, and the College is supposed to be a check on that. Instead it’s turned into a rubber stamp party for the college winner. It’s a farce that needs to go into the dustbin of history.

    Al Franken is a favorite of mine, and according to some Roger Stone played a major role in preparing LeAnn Tweeden for her accusation against Franken. Among many other things I hope they find in the Nunberg/Stone emails is evidence of that. And when I think of all of the dirty tricks Stone has pulled, of course Russia being at the top of the list, it would be enlightening to see in how many ways how the top Republican rtfcker corrupted the democratic process and who else was involved.

    @Mnemosyne:

    Many, many years ago my dad was doing research for a book and found in church archives some letters he had written to a young minister. The archives were housed in a dank basement of an old church in Boston. The worst part is he was completely cognizant that slavery was wrong but he chose the fulfillment of his architectural dreams for Monticello over his conscience. So painful to read.

    @Yarrow:
    Had that happen to me around 40 yrs ago. My regular doc moved 300 miles away to set up practice and so one of his associates took over and he was fine at first, but I noticed over about a year he started to look rather not well. And then he died. He was in his mid to late 30s. I never did find out what happened, no one at the office would talk about it. I’ve had my suspicions from the way he began to look but am not going there.

    @Gin & Tonic: He listened to 1000s of hrs of RW talk radio and came up with Trump’s campaign message…White grievance. He has taken credit for the “Build the Wall” messaging.

    Every time I see the picture of Mueller walking by the construction area, I think to myself, he’s having holding cells the size of drunk tanks built.

    How do you think Ari Melber is going to get him off the set? Or will he just let him babble for the whole hour?

    …and all the way through Tweety and Chris and Rachel and Lawrence and five minutes into The Eleventh Hour until BriWi realizes he can’t put up with the competition and has Nunberg forcibly removed.

    @? Martin:

    The more rational plan would be to win the House for the Dems, navigate through the leadership battle, and after removing Trump and Pence, the Dem speaker would become president. All nice and tidy.

    Trump and Pence are not going to be removed. But in case justice magically broke out in this country and the Republicans decided that they wanted to make amends, Hillary could be made speaker of the House, and then Trump and Pence removed. And then, because of this little provision:

    The Constitution does not require the Speaker to be an elected member of the House of Representatives

    Hillary could become president even if the GOP retained a majority in the House.

    But again, not gonna happen.

    @Ruckus: Thanks. Just saw this doctor less than a month ago and there were no signs whatsoever. Everyone is so shocked. We’re now going to have to scramble to get another doctor to keep prescriptions going. And it’s always hard to find a doctor that you click with. Sigh.

    @Jack the Second:

    Did the letters seem flimsy and cheap to anyone else? The one letter he ended up just pulling off without using the hammer and crowbar to loosen it first.

    The “P” was hardest to get off, of course.

    How’s that go in the movie, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
    We never know what tomorrow brings. We plan for it to be what we want, hopefully we are prepared enough to roll with what does happen not to plan, but we just don’t know what it will be. And yet you can’t live with your head in the sand, you will get your upturned butt kicked repeatedly.

    Just what did this guy Nunberg do in the campaign

    Just what every campaign needs: A guy to post racist social media.
    He was the sacrificial lamb, back when the campaign pretended to care about that shit.

    So, is anything happening? Is Nunberg still on TV? Has he said anything new?

    @Mnemosyne: Considering that it took all of one presidency for John Adams to invoke foreign meddling with the Alien and Sedition acts…

    Also in the era of the Founding Fathers, the threat of foreign (European) influence was considerably greater than it is even today.

    Good grief…Is that a golden crowbar? Even the tools are tacky at tRumpov’s properties.

    Riveting tv but I don’t think Nunberg’s privileged white guy routine is going to work. Bet he changes his story once he sobers up. Only an idiot would go to prison for Roger Stone for FSM’s sake!
