Are you wondering why That Asshole and his allies have been freaking out about the GSA handing over tens of thousands of emails from the transition team to Mueller? This thread explains. It is … delicious:

It turns out that the New Order can track ships through hyperspace because of a breaking edge technology that fundamentally upends the logic of the entire series.

Arrrrrgh. This looks like a perfect game for my partner. But she has 1) a MacBook, and 2) an Android phone. And I run Linux on everything. So there’s no way for me to get this for her as a gift, is there?

I’m reminded of Wonkette’s spectacular coverage of SC State Rep Candidate (??) Alvin Greene, who filed papers but maybe wasn’t running, and how his non-campaign, for a while, was somehow winning:

I’m really enjoying that he hasn’t yet moved past the “denial” stage. I’m really hoping that the “anger” and “bargaining” and “depression” stages are all very drawn out and debasing for him.

You mean that people who would directly benefit financially from a company’s stock price falling are not the most reliable sources when they claim that the company’s future is uncertain??

Yeah, but on the other hand, if the bill fails, the money spigot gets shut off for all of them. McCain, as he is dying, would have struck me as someone who should have been liberated from the need to give a shit about such things. But nope, he rolled up and voted to fuck the poor so his wife the beer heiress could get…

Dana Schwartz is ahead of you:

As I said above, if That Asshole gets impeached, Pence will follow in short order. The question is not whether he’s already committed impeachable offenses (he has, if you follow where Mueller is heading), the question is whether the political will exists to commence with an impeachment for the Russia shit. With the…

I’m seriously considering the possibility that that guy is working out of some troll farm at the behest of Checkists. The broken English, the weird apostrophes, the reply-spamming, etc. etc., it all seems … off. So I’m not going to bother responding to him.

Pedantry Corner: “loathe” is the verb. The adjective, which is what you meant to use, is “loath.”

It would indeed (in fact, the prevalence of “#presidenthatch” suggests that a lot of RCT is expecting this). Now, look at Hatch: he’s going to be 84 next year, older than the oldest serving president (Ronald Goatfucker Reagan) by seven years, and has never served in a very prominent office. There is no fucking way he…

pfft. Be as judgy as you want. Fuck Burning Man; once the money showed up it turned into a giant party for basic wypipo. Let’s not forget the “native-inspired” cultural-appropriation fashion show, the mountains of trash, the ongoing problem with serial rapists, alongside the more fundamental problem of a bunch of rich…

This. Also, the buried lede here is that yesterday’s action also defunds four major climate-observing satellite platforms. Because fuck climate, amirite?

Yeah, that’s the part that struck me, too: she said she had the kid strapped in “before the door closed,” while the airline claims she was noncompliant during “taxi to runway and safety briefing.” If the airline’s version is the correct one, doesn’t that mean they had to pull back to the gate to kick her (and her…

If it’s any consolation, Pence is up to his fucking eyeballs in Russia shit, so if That Asshole goes down, so does he. Also, so does Ryan, and (if RCT is to be believed, and I am deeply inclined to believe RCT when @20committee and @truefactsstated are both saying it) that some “30-80 high-ranking officials” within…

He will never step down, because that would be admitting failure. Likewise, so long as Republicans control Congress, there will never be so much as consideration of impeachment. I’m curious dreading to find out what’s going to happen when Mueller submits an extensive report alleging widespread corruption, conspiracy…

Given what an avid viewer he is of his own television appearances, I really hope that he keeps re-watching the Jerusalem speech where his dentures are falling out and dies a little bit more inside each time.

Also worth asking is how perennial asshole-right fixer Roger Stone knew and tweeted about the allegations hours before they became public.
