Mr. Nancy, is that you?

Yeah, he is definitely, as the kids these days would say, “problematic” on a number of issues (his reaction to #BLM makes me cringe). But like I said: I’m willing to give him some leeway on some of his reporting on intel matters (or rather, I’m willing to regard his assertions as mostly credible), if only because he…

Addendum: OHSHIT

So, now I have the image in my head of Cooper walking back to his dressing room with total composure, quietly closing the door, and then screaming into a pillow like the wound-up corporate lady in Breaking Bad, so thanks for that.

from what little I can tell of him, he’s old-skool conservative of the military variety. Bit of a gun-humper, bit of a natsec hawk, but patriotic in the conventional sense that he is absolutely appalled by That Asshole and his administration and wants to see the whole ugly thing burned to the ground.

Also really worth following is John Schindler (@20committee), a former intelligence-community pro with lots of contacts still there. He’s been saying some shit for months that’s finally being vindicated.

2. Was gonna say Foghorn Leghorn.

Aside from dumb racism, there’s a good case to be made that the second most driving force behind That Asshole’s voters is shame. Here, look at this fascinating history-in-miniature of the 2011 WHCD, and how the politics of shame is a major force for the declining belligerent moronic fatass failures that comprise most…

Ranking Member of the Senate Intel Committee Mark Warner, after being bused to Langley last week, put the chances of That Asshole finishing his first term at “2 to 1 against.”

She is likely referring to this instagram, whose poster has a treasure trove of hilarious shit:

That’s the only thing in this giant shit sandwich that gives me any hope: what are the chances that this passes a Democratic filibuster? I’m guessing somewhere between “fuck no” and “don’t let the door hit’cha on the way out in 2019.”

As always in these discussions, it is important to raise a glass to that tragically now-defunct oddity of the early internet, dolphinsex.org. According to its author, female dolphins have all kinds of muscles in their vaginas, and can do things mere humans can only dream of.

Also, John Edwards.

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…

I read a bunch of articles about a month ago that all found the same thing: states with more racial diversity spend less on social welfare programs, and have residents more strongly opposed to social spending, because they believe it goes to the “wrong” people.

the following image, I find, is useful for a strikingly wide variety of situations:

Addendum: I really like the part where McFarland says he likes rap music “for some reason” as if a white guy liking rap music is a noteworthy anomaly. There’s definitely no subtext at all to some rich white 20-something techbro saying something like that.

Right? I organized, with a partner, a one-day event with no more than about 20 people, in a public park where we needed no infrastructure or anything (basically, the 20 of us would put on various creative “happenings” throughout the day), with a generous budget and months of planning, when I was 36, and I would still…

Seems like reciting that clause every time any potentially leading question is asked would be a good way to turn it around:

If the process is ongoing at the end of the two years then Britain leaves the EU with no settlement and falls back on to WTO rules…
