The only thing that will do this is mismanagement of the economy to the point that his base loses faith. If he gets impeached, it means we've all gotten thoroughly fucked first.

Exxon Mobil stands to make hundreds of billions of dollars from opening up the sanctions on Russia. They have made major investments in Russian land they were prepared to drill on (65 million acres!), which now they can't because of sanctions. Only the press attention on the hacking has stopped them from dropping…

Yes, there are exactly two Republican elected officials who will speak out against Trump before they vote in lockstep with their party.

IF Trump was delusional?

Thing is, after the finale, I couldn't stop thinking about how a sequel could actually work. You'd have to completely break the formula. BB is all about consequences, so make it a one-season-only, interconnected episodic anthology starring different secondary characters or even new characters that show the ripple…

Uh, no. Pence is not worse than Trump. We need a working government. As much as I hate to steal from the Joker, Trump is an agent of chaos. The government and the economy are about to screech to a halt and damage everyone.

Listening to the Insider Podcast for BB, the word that kept resonating in my mind for the whole bunch of them is "evolved" - kind, full of good humor, sharp as a tack, unfailingly supportive of one another, insightful of the human condition in ways macro and micro, not a whiff of ego or competition between them. It's…

That would make sense if the Republicans weren't actively trying to soft-pedal the investigation. There's no comparison between this and the witch hunt over Benghazi. I'm used to a Reep party that blazes a greasy trail when they have an agenda. This ain't it.

You know, there are probably thousands of photos of David Bowie. Maybe you could use one at the top of articles about him that doesn't make him look like the crazy guy who sleeps in the dumpster behind Arby's.

Those mother-fucking, anal-prolapsed douchebags fired Charles Brotman from announcing the inaugural parade, which he's been doing for sixty years through eleven administrations. His wife died weeks ago, and the upcoming parade was, he says, the only thing that was keeping him going. http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/…

"PTSD-Inducing"

There's a wide variety of ways for the world's most powerful nation to flex its muscles.

Cosby doesn't have Secret Service that will hold you down for him. I think they let someone else go to the bar for drinks when he's around.

And knowledge.

It will take longer than six months for Obama's steady leadership to wear off and mismanagement of the economy to set in. A crash that he has no earthly idea how to deal with (and lies about existing) is really the only thing that will get him from the outside, since it's the only thing that will get through his…

Thing is, I don't attribute the WMD garbage to "groupthink" and don't place the core of blame on the Intelligence Agencies. The Bush Administration pressed them for conclusions that would support a predetermined war policy leaving them in a very tenuous position. Like it or not, elected officials are their bosses.…

"Premature"

The fact that they've divulged all the classified stuff to leaders of both parties and Trump and his crew are the ONLY people denying that Russia is the culprit satisfies me. When these people agree on anything, you have to believe it's pretty much a slam dunk. Most of them have said the evidence is more or less…

If they start yakking about how they know things behind the scenes, they lose access to their ability to know things behind the scenes. They could put informants' lives in danger.

Oh, they don't. There's a NYT article that reports from Indiana and some other red state asking opinions, and the consensus is, "What's the big deal?" Those they quote go on to mention four or five notions in their heads about the election which are patently, factually wrong while they assert that an attack on…
