Oh, I’m totally waiting for the time, a decade or two from now when a member of Mueller’s team is nominated to the Supreme Court- b/c apparently being a part of a real political witch hunt is no obstacle to joining the court so why should helping save the country be? 

Even my Trump voting mother thinks they should’ve met with Garland.

Fuck this offbrand version of a racist demagogue, listening to a real president speak truth to power.

How can Democrats and John Tester fulfill their job in the US Senate if they refuse to meet with the nominee?

Is Shah even allowed in the Oval Office? Isn’t he Shuckleberry’s understudy? I’m still leaning toward a cabal of high-level actors, maybe as many as six (including a few cabinet and a few departed, like Cohn), posing as a single agent. But I like the idea of Shah as the writer of the final draft; despite its

Yeah, my sense is that the “reveal,” if it comes, will prove to be depressingly anti-climactic. It can’t be a cabinet secretary because it’s clearly someone who works in the White House day-to-day. Kelly may be thinking these things, but I can’t believe he’d take this risk when he’s made it clear he wants to stay on

Guys, let’s get your bets in on who Anonymous is. I can’t imagine his identity will remain secret for long. My money is on Deputy Press Secretary and Deputy Assistant Raj Shah. He was an RNC operative for Romney and Never-Trumper before Trump won the nomination, and he has the kind of background to be disgusted by

Vote.

If I recall correctly, Pence set a record during the VP debate, for the fewest mentions of the person at the top of the ticket.  Nate Silver tweeted something like “Pence just gave us a preview of the post-Trump GOP: pretend he never happened.”  So, yeah.  I can see it being him.

It was Mike Pence, or someone else Mike Pence put up to the job.

This is beginning of the whitewashing, his enablers trying to maintain their dignity for the eventual post-Trump era by framing themselves as saving us from a deranged madman. My money’s on Pence as the author.

But what if it’s someone he can’t fire? Someone with little to lose if this comes out, because he can’t be removed from office without being impeached. Someone who would actually stand to personally benefit if Trump were removed.

It was Ted Cruz, and he really is the Zodiac Killer.

I AM SPARTACUS!!!

Maybe these old days?

“I thought about Sienna Torres and her shoving her hand into my wide-open c— about as wide as a mouth saying m—-f—-,’ ” she recites. “That’s not something people would be comfortable hearing,”

Yeah, uh, I think an MFA workshop needs to explain “murder your darlings” to her. 

I’m happy for her that working on such a project makes her feel fulfilled and like she’s making a positive change for representations of women’s sexuality. However, she’s absolutely not the first person to write material of this sort - it’s just that she has the money to be able to write, produce, and maybe even
