I’ve been so disturbed by my life that I’ve made a whole-ass career out of magical moments of genius interspersed with madness. I’ve learned not to knock the magical moments. Not that the rest of it isn’t a slog, but stuff aligns at the strangest times. In the long run, it matters more what is possible than what is…

Sure did. Dems got their obstruction answers all in a row. The whole world heard Mueller say that Trump was not truthful in his written answers, and the campaign tried to obstruct him by deleting communications, and the president can be indicted as soon as he leaves office, and they spend a good goddamn long time…

nobody actually read the thing

And of course, one response that Paul might have is that those people are idiots. Morons. How can a person who has enough functioning brain cells to remember to breathe and not shit their pants not be aware of the massive tower of lies that is the Trump administration? It’s a valid response.

I mean, even if that doesn’t become the new level set of the entire discussion, if it convinces even a relative handful of people who sat out the election in 2016 of that truth, it will have been valuable.

Yes, this was for the people like the woman interviewed at the Justin Amash town hall who said she had no idea that the Mueller Report didn’t exonerate Trump. There are WAY too many people who “know” that it did, and if this can get enough of them to realize that it didn’t, then it wasn’t a complete waste of time.…

Most people bought the Barr spin that Trump was exonerated and there wasn’t anything else in the report. Because nobody actually read the thing, including almost every member of congress AND the press, there was no push back on it. Mueller just came out and shot down the original spin and said out loud that Trump…

Real life isn’t a fucking Aaron Sorkin show. There are no such thing as thunderous monologues that win the day.

It’s not clear to me how getting Mueller to make some public statements about his report that ran clearly counter to Trump’s characterization of it hurts anyone, and I haven’t seen anyone saying they thought this would be some Aaron Sorkin monologue-esque moment where Mueller scored a fatality on Trump’s Presidency…

I think we’ve all figured it out. It’s just 30-40% of the country actively wants that, and the Republican party is perfectly willing to throw the Constitution in the shredder to give it to them. The rest of the country’s arguing about ways to stop it that don’t involve bullets, but the delay’s just giving these…

OMFG

“It gives me all of these rights at a level that nobody has ever seen before.”

It’s worth noting that the ranks of the Nazi Party in 1920s and 1930s Germany were also rife with grifters, greed monsters and sex criminals. Just saying.

Reminds me of an old joke.

I don’t know what this mayor lady’s priorities are, but her residents got to experience nearly 20% of one week under the security provided by two M1A2 Abrams tanks, two M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and a M88A2 Hercules armored recovery vehicle.

As a victim of a child molester who was my fifth grade teacher, I can totally understand how someone in power can get away with this kind of bullshit. I hope EVERY SINGLE ASSHOLE involved in this imbroglio is publicly shamed, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. PERIOD! Money, reputation, and social standing…

David Boies has a LOT of fucking nerve commenting after rep’ing Harvey Weinstein. What a fucking disgusting laughable hypocrite. 

Most importantly:  Get American corporations the fuck out of there. 

God, thank you. And I don’t think we need to have long conversations about our complicity in the root causes to start solving the insane poverty and violence that is causing these folks to flee their homes. It’s all accessible in the present:

As Adam Serwer put it, the cruelty is the point.
