No, but framing Guaidó’s movement as a coup *IS* an express endorsement of Maduro’s actions in the recent election he is credibly alleged to have stolen.

I don’t hate ‘em by any means ... they were just a bit poppy.

I always suspected there would be a catch.

You can like them ... just please don’t call them punk.

I like Pelosi a lot better than Feinstein or Schumer. There are plenty of things to criticize, but in my book she’s not in the same league of lameness with those other two.

“Jackbooted Tots”

When Hillary lost the primary to Obama, she refused to back him and fought every damn contest ... even after it was clearly mathematically impossible for her to win (even *with* superdelegates). She took her challenge all the way to the damn rules and bylaws committee trying to overturn his win.

Fuck Ralph Nader ... and anyone who refuses to agree Ralph Nader is the antichrist!

Manifort’s crimes had a *lot* to do with Russia and a fair amount of overlap with Trump (for example, one of the things he lied about was feeding Trump internal polling data to a Russian spy). What they don’t do is directly implicate Trump as participant in a criminal act.

I thought I was .... no?

It feels like it will take a few months to wrap up the bits we know about so far ... and it feels almost certain that we don’t now the half of it at this point. I’m not sure how much Mueller can ethically keep from Barr, but I do know if Barr were to share any internal work product about an investigation with the…

Dammit ... principAls!

You are getting two entirely different things jumbled up in your head .... and it’s coming out all screwed up. Sure, I can buy that consensual sex work should probably be legalized and regulated. That’s a great argument to make.

So .... what about all the people who are just starting to tune in to see what this cycle’s crop of candidates are all about? By definition they haven’t been paying much attention yet.

Hmmmm .... drop her and Meghan McCain onto a tiny desert island ... the loser will no longer be allowed to appear on broadcast media in any form.

I just figured out what’s going on here ... and ... good lord, media people.

Gaaaaa. What a truly horrid person.

No she didn’t ... she ran for a Senate seat ... and then resigned only after she won her new position.

There is no way Harris was not aware of a case that was getting national press in the New York Times.

She spent her career running as a “tough-on-crime” Democrat and certainly wasn’t going to let anyone “Willie Horton” her. Innocent or not, him being free would be a liability to her career. She’s ambitious. There is no way in hell she would willingly let him see the light of day.
