Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Cole is on a roll !

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Bark louder, little dog.

Democrats are back in array!

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Donald Jessica Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

No Justins, No Peace

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

“The Ambassador from Russia is Russian”

KKKeebler Elf brings his outraged honor act to the Senate Judiciary Committee — for an audience of one. Senator Franken isn’t taken in by the moonlight and magnolias act:

Franken rightly calls the pint-sized bigot out for moving the goal posts on campaign collusion with Russia in the 2016 election, which is what Team Trump has done from the beginning. First, they were all, “Russians? What Russians?” Then, they said, “Okay, some operatives may have talked to Russians, but no one close to the campaign.” Next, it was, “Well, not every single surrogate talked to the Russians.” And finally, “How dayuh you impugn mah honah, suh?”

Good God, what a clown show.

Guys, I’m starting to think there’s something to this Trump-Russia business…

Anyone want to start a pool on which Trump operative will be busted for collusion first? My money’s on Parscale, the digital director who raked in $90M. Just a hunch.

Open thread!

Today’s Trump-Russia Reveal(s)

The New York Times has the latest scoop:

WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials.

Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved “great pressure” on him.

The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.

I know, I know, Fitzmas, blah blah blah. Still, I hope the ochre ogre is sweating it out.

Also, MAGAts in Florida and elsewhere served as Putin’s pawns, lured to Trump rallies via Facebook pages created by Russian troll farms. Courtesy of valued commenter Rikyrah, here’s a link to a Washington Monthly piece that summarizes the reporting on that.

So, to sum up, Mueller is examining Trump’s obstructive behavior in the White House, and reporters are uncovering incidents where Russian trolls led idiot Americans around by the nose with the intent to install Putin’s preferred candidate. My guess is this Facebook thing is just the beginning and that other shoes will drop in the social media realm.

Do we have the national will to do something about it? That’s really the only question that remains.
