Jeff Sessions is not Trump’s personal lawyer! He is the A.G. of the U.S.A. He cannot gesture to some quasi-attorney/client privilege, pass it off as “Justice Dept. custom,” AND also claim future, hypothetical executive privilege for current testimony.

The Trumps are exhibit 1A of entitlement BREEDING stupidity. When you are never accountable for your actions; never have to worry about the coherence of your arguments or morality; never have to earn respect from colleagues, teachers, bosses, or friends; never have to answer to a corporate board or investors or legal…

I hear you, but the Oakland march is going to be a daytime event which should make all the difference. The Lake Merritt protest right after the election was completely wonderful and family friendly :)

 I think I might do both! Bringing my sign for the daytime Oakland march, then candlelight March in SF at night!

And there it is: the emblem of American political life we deserve!! What a weekend. ..

Co-sign. How irritating is it for all of us to be the responsible, boring voters in a blue/blue-leaning state who, you know, actually do the work of making it a blue state so that protest voters can enjoy that luxury of a buffer? It’s as if our votes, organization, polling, and grueling turnout effort are all served…

Ivanka’s speech was disturbingly cynical: she discussed *Hillary’s/Democratic* policies about child care, equal pay, maternity leave, etc quite effectively and personably... and sprinkled those concerns into her character witness bits about her dad, who has had nothing to offer women; this is the guy who said it was…

As someone on Politico said last night, “There are only two options here. Either he doesn’t want to land the plane, or he doesn’t know how to.” Both of those are troubling. I don’t even begrudge him the SS detail/cost, but it’s sure symptomatic.

I totally agree that the question was not well put. Not every criticism of Hillary is sexist, and we shouldn’t dilute the term. Sexism is obviously not a *sufficient* cause for Bernie’s persistence/resistance (depending on how you see things!). *But* it’s worth asking how two exceptional, abnormal phenomena interact:…

Seriously. And Chris Christie, profile in courage that he is, worries more about offending such an insane “base” than the safety of his constituents:

His whole “aggrieved conservative” shtick here is like the philosphical/juridical equivalent of heinous “stand your ground” laws: antagonize someone else and then complain before anything happens to you, or even after you kill them/get off free and clear.

Exactly. That’s what’s so astonishing about the bigoted dog-whistle political strategy of conservatives: they use their template to make *any* occasion a racist one. Death of beloved athlete/conscientious objector? Perfect! Let’s glorify the most unpopular war ever... just so we can be racist! Triple-word score!

This is why restraining orders should lead to automatic gun confiscation. The wife knows an r.o. is useless and perhaps even more provoking without that stipulation. I can’t imagine how terrorized she must have been for years.
