It’s so fucking hard not to actually hate all the libertarian bros and broettes who said Trump wouldn’t give a shit about marijuana and the war on drugs.

The fake media is actually working for comp time since the Trump Administration removed the overtime protections.

I’ve been obsessively keeping up with this to the point that’s it’s squashed any potential productivity for the last two days. I need a break from the news cycle, but only to make more popcorn.

I’m just left to wonder if not a single one of them has any ambition beyond their current situation or has any interest in how history will treat their legacy.

Former Obama deputy assistant and Biden national security advisor asks an important question and a former CIA deputy director responds:

First, awesome username

We need a special prosecutor, like yesterday. No way the guy who is going to replace Comey will be independent in the Russia investigation.

He absolutely deserved to be fired for what he did to Clinton. But let’s not kid ourselves that he was fired for that reason. He was fired because Trump is afraid that Comey is on to something. This is beyond Watergate levels of corruption. We need a special independent prosecutor to oversee that investigation. …

He probably should have been fired?

EXACTLY - in law school they tell us it’s unethical to memorize and go from memory. Laws change all the time. That’s why research is so key.

There was an earlier moment in the Cruz/Yates exchange that really pissed me off and makes Yates’ response so much more delicious. Cruz asks Yates if she was familiar with 8 U.S.C. 1182 and she says “not at the top of my head, no.”

“You always could throw your legs higher and wider than anyone else!”

I love every second Death Becomes Her.

The thing about the Rabbi Shmuley selfie is what is written ON the whiteboard: Muslim Ban (checked as completed) - this accidental evidence will kill the White House’s contention (in the appellate courts) that the travel restrictions were anything other than religious discrimination (and leave no room to argue that…

And look at that not insignificant probability of Cheeto winning. Everybody blamed them for saying Trump had a chance to win leading up to Election Day, then blamed them afterwards for not predicting a win? Cmon. We are supposed to be the party of logic here.

Uggghhh. “Neither is a good option” is such bullshit. One of these people IS going to be elected president. There is no getting around that. There is no other option. Unless you believe that the options are roughly equal in quality (and I question your sanity if you believe that is the case on either side of the…

It takes a real feat of cold, tangled logical acrobatics to conclude that, in the event of a fascist candidate, people who don’t want a fascist president should not gather around the banner of the candidate who is not a fascist.

That’s what did it for me, too. When people would turn out in bigger crowds for Warren, when she wasn’t even running, Hillary picked a kitten with no national profile (besides that one time he gave a limp-wristed rebuttal to one of W’s SOTU addresses). Kaine is someone you pick when you don’t want your running-mate…

Franken might have worked. So might have Sherrod Brown TBF.
