No, it is worse. Apart from refusing to have a hearing for Judge Garland an opposition party in control of the legislature refusing to go along with the agenda of the President is pretty normal. I’d expect the Democrats to vigorously oppose President Trump if they gain control of the House and/or Senate after the…

No disagreement there but this isn’t how our government is supposed to work. Congress has abdicated their Constitutionally mandated job of oversight of the Executive Branch.

That’s a hell of a mustache.

You know, Pence isn’t completely wrong here. Having a bunch of senior administration officials undermining and ignoring the orders of the President is a disturbing precedent. Yes, these people are probably preventing some crazy shit but it bodes ill for the future. If DJT is so unstable and unfit to be POTUS then…

I don’t know. A couple times when I was in the army I got so drunk that I tried to go in the wrong barracks. Of course her being drunk is absolutely no excuse for killing that guy. I’m just saying that it makes a lot more sense then the idea that she just decided “I’m gonna go kill this guy.” Though it’s always…

Ehh, I think it’s much more likely that she came home drunk, got scared, and killed the guy she thought was in her apartment. She still deserves to go to prison for it. 

Well said.

You know, someone can do all those things and still be a douchebag.

Oh Ann Dowd for sure. Aunt Lydia is such a complex character. She is simultaneously revolting and sympathetic. You can tell she truly cares for her charges and is convinced she is doing the right thing. The character reminds me of my great-aunt, though taken to the extreme. She was a nun and was nice, caring, and all…

I’ve been helping my wife play Witcher 3. She loves the fantasy type story but is terrified by all the monsters you have to fight. She dies a lot even though the game is on the easiest difficulty level. It’s really, really funny.

Yeah, but Kim Jong Un is a fucking monster. He had his uncle and longtime mentor killed to consolidate his power. He had his brother assassinated in a foreign airport using chemical weapons. Not to mention all the normal North Korean people languishing in camps for crimes like using a cell phone or watching a bootleg S…

And what have you done, beyond encouraging assassinations on the internet?

Would you rather have Mattis or a Trump sycophant as SECDEF?

Most of em, yeah. Not Mattis or McMaster. I think they have probably prevented a few wars. From the very beginning of Trump’s presidency I had the feeling that Mattis was running the DoD and ignoring most of Trump’s orders.

It’s gonna be interesting to watch the MAGAs vacillate between “Woodward’s book is bullshit fake news!” and “Woodward’s book proves the existence of the Deep State!”

Haha I pulled some similar shit as a kid.

Have you read the transcript of Woodward talking to Trump? He straight up tells Trump that he has extensive documentation of everything he wrote in the book.

Yeah, this group is really beyond the pale.

That’s pretty funny. It reminds me of something that happened to me in Korea. I was only a month in country and was still learning how to do my assigned job (which was completely different than the one I learned at AIT). So Typhoon Bolaven hit Korea and I walked to work through driving winds and pouring rain and sat…

Yeah I had to get through the process of getting a TS/SCI clearance, but so do people who work at the White House. That’s why Seb Gorka isn’t working at the WH and why it was such a big deal when it came out that Jared Kushner lied on his SF-86 multiple times.
