See, he’s from Indiana, but because of his genuinely out of touch upbringing, he’s less familiar with the Mike Pence kind of Christianity and more familiar with the University of Notre Dame kind of Christianity where it’s just a code of conduct that keeps you from getting kicked off the football team.

That’s cool man, I understand. So many people come in with bad-faith arguments or saying something reasonable sounding to put in the thin end of the wedge and open the door to nonsense that it’s natural to be defensive. I do need to reign in my inner pedant when it comes to topics that effect people so personally so I…

I like what you did there.

Abusers are mentally ill very often and people who commit multiple murders of their family members are mentally ill basically all the time.

Family annihilators (often, but not always, the father) convince themselves that the family is better off dead than living without them. If there’s some sort of a scandal involved, the family annihilator thinks they are doing their children a favor by killing them, lest the children have to witness the downfall of the…

This is one of the reasons why we are a Third World Banana Republic.

If it’s true what I read earlier that he’s been “passed around for years” I’m extra-horrified. In that Madeline documentary, one of the (I believe) Portugal officials emphasized the number of sexually-exploitive images of children that can be found on the dark web, and how these children are held captive, but that…

I’m just stunned that a funeral has turned out to be the social event of the season for Republicans. I know we call them ghouls, but this is a bit on the nose.

Putting Sarah Palin on the ticket openly invited the sort of terrifying, funhouse-mirror bullshit in politics that gave us Donald Trump. I’m pretty ambivalent about McCain but for that I will never forgive him.

Yup, this is how he operates. The fact that he is going to get away with it in Govt is just repulsive. Welp, this is the new ‘no accountability’ age we live in. My group of lawyers is better than yours wins the day. 

Sadly, we seem to be backed into a corner with respect to recourse. If you’ve packed your cabinet with folks who are uninterested in governance and are just in it for personal profit, they aren’t likely to go all 25th Amendment on Trump.

Ah, the modern American conservative’s lament.

The legal recourse is to depend on the justice department trump hand picked or the lawmakers who helped him pick them. 

Technically, she’s not a leaker, but they know their audience is dumb enough to not be able to differentiate behind someone protecting the country’s interests in the face of poor governance/illegal behavior and KellyAnne Conway.

Is there seriously no legit recourse for every single violation and unethical thing Trump and his axis of evil are conducting on the daily? Everyone loves to say “you’re not a king” but basically, yeah, the GOP has elevated him to untouchable king status. Sure, the adults in the room with decades of experience tell…

Of course this is going to end in litigation, and the White House will of course fight it all the way to the Supreme Court, confident (not without good reason) they have have the votes to resist it. But even if they lose, I can see them still dicking around with this, probably releasing a few non-responsive documents…

So are we going to hear about “grave concerns” from Republicans or are they going to attack “leakers”for this fresh scandal? I’d toss in “something, something Obama,” but they would have burned the White House to the ground had that administration done anything a tenth as shady.

So…

The current “strategy” for the White House regarding having to turn over documents is to ignore them. That’s why the House Democrats are having such a hard time getting info on Trump. They make the request, deadline passes, they ask again and get a new deadline. Nothing is going to happen until Trump’s White House is…

The side mirrors must be an expensive option
