I'm not ruling out removal by either, but it will be only when the writing on the wall is so many stories high that they should have jumped months earlier.

This is a GREAT idea for Thursday. They need something to keep him calm and not watching hearings.

Apparently he got turned down by multiple law firms, because there just is no upside in trying to defend a client who keeps tweeting his interpretation of legal matters.

I'm with WaPo: Khan is acting like Churchill, and Trump like Chicken Little.

I expect him to live counter-tweet the whole thing. His staff must be desperately searching for a way to keep him busy and distracted during those hours.

Even Putin is now suggesting that it was private Russian citizens who coincidentally happen to be in Russia but don't work for the security agencies.

One plus of our wacky presidential voting system is that it is very hard to hack. You would have to hack dozens of different systems in different states, and you would have to guess beforehand exactly how to skew results so that it seemed like slightly higher and lower turnout in different groups accounted for it,…

Our heroes have been remarkably chill about Blaine (and then Evil Dad and Don E) scratching up hordes of zombie customers and staffers who are (only sorta figuratively) enslaved to them for brains. And in S1 murdering up a storm to feed that demand.

I get why the Filmore Graves guys were excited to find out the speakeasy had girls for rent. I don't get what's in it for the sex workers. (For that matter, Real Life does not teach us that people with alarming medical conditions that can be sexually transmitted universally choose celibacy, or dating only other…

Also, water! Nothing bad has ever happened due to a local excess of water, cause water is natural.

In his anti-Paris speech he talked about his tax bill, and how it's moving through the Congress.

I think routinely when there is a terrorist attack somewhere he tweets about how awesome this shows he is, his staff manage to wrestle the phone away long enough to correctly spell out boilerplate condolences like normal leaders put in statements at these times, then he gets the phone back and returns to his favorite…

I'm calling it 20% hard core, based on how many people found "He fired Comey because he didn't like how Hillary was treated" believable. Those are the ones who will defend him when he starts walking up to people on the street and shooting them.

Book plug: The Attention Merchants by Tim Wu, about the rise of ways to capture our attention. (Advertising, propaganda, etc.) It was weird reading this as the election unfolded, because it discusses early newspapers figuring out how to command more and more eyeballs, which is to be as sensational as possible. The…

I heard one guy—with a PhD in physics—who was set up to counter Bill Nye. He repeatedly claimed that carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring thing—in face, it's what we breathe out! So it can't do anything bad, because it's actually natural.

Apparently people who study terrorism have wondered for a decade why terrorists don't use more large-vehicles-into-crowds, since you don't need any particular pre-planning or special skill sets. Now that the technique has been used a couple of times, it seems to be catching on for anyone who wants to commit suicide in…

He's right about the tea.

I'll plug WaPo's Can He Do That? which posts every Friday and answers whatever iteration of that question has come up over the previous week.

He doesn't see that.

I see a Suicide Squad thing, where they become a plausibly deniable covert crime fighting force.
