I’m sure the greys will be overflowing with understanding and nuance when comparing this to Confederate.

He’s also trying to put some distance between what’s going on and “Core Republican values”, acting like Trump isn’t a direct descendent of Goldwater, Nixon, Regan, the Bushes etc.

Meh. I’ll give him credit for acknowledging the GOP strategy toward Obama was nihilistic and bordered on sedition. First step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

You don’t need to tell me about the Faustian bargain. I do the best deals with the Faustians. I’ve done deals with them for many years. They’ve always been very nice to me. And we’ve done some tremendous deals. Believe me, these were very, very, very incredible deals. Many, many people have looked at my deals with the…

I’m sure he already knows. He has all the best words, after all.

It’s the political equivalent of “thoughts and prayers.” I thought and I prayed and NOTHING HAPPENED. What gives?

Bonus: laying the groundwork/keeping options open for 2020 and beyond once the smoke has cleared.

Flake: Trump is an inhuman monster who is an existential threat.

What Flake wants is to clear his name. Not only is he in trouble next year from within the party like you said but since Hillary came within 4 points of taking Arizona, and the demographic changes are occuring fast and furious in that state, he knows he’ll go down either in the primary or the general so he’s trying to…

A Douche for All Ages. 21st century reboot of A Man for All Seasons.

I said basically the same thing as you, but I’m in the grays so I’ll reiterate it here - he might commit suicide because of this.

Someone must have gotten a google alert over Would U. Probably would have gotten to keep the job if the percentage of people who would was higher ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now the shit pudding can hit the fan - if the sale of his hedge fund to the Chinese collapses, it proves his appointment was motive for a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violation. If the sale goes through , but for one cent less than the previously announced $90million, it proves the same, because he’d be accepting…

Jon and Dany are definitely going to bang but I saw the opposite of chemistry there. Like they seemed bored to be there.

On Bran: right?! Like, seriously, what the fuck was that? “It’s snowing, just like that day...it was beautiful...you, in your wedding white...I’m talking about when you got brutally raped btw...I saw it, with my magical eye...I’m the Three-Eyed Raven...don’t ask me to explain, it’s too complicated for you ” Dafuq!

Bran wakes from a trance: “...I have Bird Flu.”

Man pour one out for Olenna Tyrell. Her character will so be missed, but she went out like a G.

Pickle, Trump is very sensitive about the size of the white hose. Best not ask about it.
