Ehhhhh...I still have loads of qualms with that 42.5 number. For starters, you’ve cited Ipsos and Rasmussen. Where, how and with whom did they get their figures? And, much as I like 538, need I even remind you of their polling projections for the 2016 election??!!

That said, please don’t think I’m, in any way, trying…

Completely with ya on that booze train to hell since 11/9/2016! Hell, I’m pretty sure I was still buzzed from last night’s brandy binge, when I initially responded to ya this morning.

That said, whilst things seem bleak as fuck right now, we properly humane and sensible types shouldn’t ever totally succumb to all this…

Pretty sure that 42.5% ‘approval rating’ likely comprises not just his idiotic base, but also equally idiotic and uniformed independents, who’s political whims change at the drop of a hat.

And where does that 42.5% ‘approval rating’ come from anyhow??? What was the sample size of the study? And what were the…

Gotta say that I agree and also disagree with ya. Here’s the trick to what you’ve said though, that “gigantic swath of Americans” you’ve referred to? They only compromise about 30% of the overall population of this country. They might be loud and annoyingly whiny as fuck, but still, indifferent and truly rational…

THIS!!!! So MUCH THIS!!!! The Fourth Estate needs to respond by boycotting this entire administration unilaterally. With the exception of FOX News, of course, which we all know to be the ‘Pravda’/propaganda outlet of the GOP.

And that’s precisely what this is!!! A hardcore descent into fascism. Yet, have some small measure of faith. that democratic justice and truth shall prevail. At least until we’re able to enforce said notions by voting this sick motherfucker out of the White House!

Buddy just think about the fact that you wrote the words “One can still”, whilst we have a POTUS, who’s seemingly throwing The Fourth Estate under the bus!

Think ‘ancient Rome’, fall of their Republic combined with what Lucius Cornelius Sulla did to contribute to that fall. Have no doubt that Der Fantafuhrer wants proscriptions akin to Sulla’s. Yet, be thankful that our nation’s laws don’t allow for such monstrosities...yet.

Here’s a great article about Congressional jailings, featuring some currently, once more familiar names.

And they deserve to be all held in Contempt of Congress too! Though, I have a strong suspicion that MGahn might be perfectly willing to testify, despite being strong-armed by Cheetolini and his thugs.

Won’t argue about the horrid nature of the program Holder was associated with (and, as I’d stated before, cleared of any wrong-doing, in relation to).

My point was that, as an analogous precedent, citing what happened to Holder simply doesn’t compare to what’s going on with Barr now. Holder deliberately ignored his…

“That said, multiple AGs have defied congressional subpoenas, including Eric Holder when he was subpoenaed for the Fast and Furious fiasco.”

Amid this whole mess with Barr, I’ve seen Eric Holder and the ‘Fast and Furious’ fiasco being thrown around a whole lot lately.

Let’s be perfectly clear about that. Mentioning…

Indeed. The one and only basement in Florida, that I know of, is at Earnest Hemingway’s home in Key West. That’s it. Lived in this swampy hell hole of a state for wayyy too long and I’ve never seen nor heard of any other basement in Florida.

Pretty much what I’ve been saying since Barr preemptively checked out of today’s testimony. That Fred Flinstone looking motherfucker needs to be held accountable for not only failing in his duties as the U.S. Attorney General (note: it’s ‘U.S. Attorney General’ NOT ‘Trump Attorney General’), but need also be held to…

The Dems absolutely need to subpoena Barr. A failure to do so, at this point, would make them look impotent. The Sergeant at Arms for the U.S. House of Representatives enforces House subpoenas. And Barr, if he willfully fails to answer a House summons, should be held in Contempt of Congress and duly arrested by that…

Yeah, well, being a delusional idiot is even less attractive still.

So tired of being in the greys here!!! I don’t like keeping company with all the delusional idiots in the greys, who somehow think that Barr was unscathed by Harris’ line of questioning.

Kamala positively chewed up that obfuscating sack of excrement and spit him out, pretty clearly rebuking all his bullshit.

I laughed soooooo hard when that scene happened!!!! Honestly haven’t had such a good laugh, watching a show, in ages. It was very, very clever on the showrunners part to have included that.

Thanks for succinctly stating exactly what I’ve been thinking, with each and every one of these Splinter hit-jobs and the endless litany of bullshit comments about Joe from the Bernie crowd and the supposed progressive purists out there.

Indeed. I’ve seen the imposter at both those places, for sure. What makes it all the more frustrating is that he’s somehow not in the greys over there. And yet, regardless of however many posts I may have made there, I’m still ‘grey’ at both ‘Root’ and ‘Splinter’ too methinks.
