Tried to give him the benefit of the doubt right up until the Grunewald/Hasay incident.   That was just evil.   No question in my mind he was dirty after that.

Not sure the WB even needs to testify (and that may be what his lawyers are arguing). The major pieces of the WB’s complaint — that Trump tried to shake down Ukraine’s leader to “investigate” the Bidens, and that the administration has been abusing the classification infrastructure to cover up politically embarrassing…

In the midst of all this, people perhaps forget that he’s socialisming and trade warring his way into losing a chunk of rural/ag/rust belt support, essentially telling the hispanic and black vote to fuck off, losing the college educated women he picked up the first time because of his various shades of misogyny,…

Here is my problem with narrowing it to Ukraine:

Only if giving it to him makes his head swell so much further that it explodes, Scanners-style, and we’re finally done with him.

Honestly, every picture of her that’s published, all I can see is Jan from The Office.

Trump announces the next G7 will be at his personal resort. Trump’s AG books a splashy party at Trump’s hotel. Trump directs his VP to stay at Trump’s Irish resort. And this just is in the last couple of weeks! The straight up violations of the Constitution are being committed more and more brazenly.

Not to mention it’s hiiiiighly unlikely the guy — a young black man in Alabama whose educational opportunities likely hovered around zero — had any idea what the law was.  The assumption that he did and should have made a decision accordingly is completely unsupported (and unsupportable).

Well, the whole subject of supersessionism and its alternatives is a much longer conversation, but my point was that these guys believe they specifically (not just Christians generally) believe they are chosen by God to the extent they can do ANYTHING no matter how abhorrent because it’s in the pursuit of this alleged…

Heck, read (or now watch) The Family or Kevin Kruse’s book. That nutty group (which has inserted itself into national politics and influences all sorts of elected officials) believes Jews have lost their status as“chosen” people and have been replaced by....the batshit insane militant Christian members of the Family.…

You’re right. It was rude not to address you directly. Here’s a great place to start:

My first thought when reading the article was, “Oh, to be young and naive again.”

Their business is not rocket science. Lease large square footages; essentially sublease (very) small chunks on shorter terms at much higher rates per square foot. Add some perks. Keep management cost down. They seem to be getting a “tech” valuation purely because they’re pitching themselves as the landlord to the…

S&P500 January 22, 2018 close: 2,872. S&P500 as of ten minutes ago: 2,846.

Except the market is not going up.  It’s essentially flat over the last year and a half.  In other words, after the initial post-election honeymoon boost, the market that Trump now owns fully has gone nowhere for the majority of his presidency.    But your larger point about general ignorance is valid.  

God I love watching a couple of single-handed backhanders whale away against each other like that. 

I really hope someone got that on video.  It should be played on endless loop on every network.   

It depends.  Some circuits have held that a “nexus” to a brick and mortar location is required (to get around the use of the words “place” and “establishment” in the defining sections of Title III), while others used some interesting logic to conclude that a website or mobile application is a “place” such that…

If Coats has any balls he’ll go on CNN or MSNBC (or better yet Fox) and explain out loud that he quit because Trump ignores actual detailed and vetted IC product and instead believes bizarre conspiracy theories and his “gut” and is all but giving away the farm to Russia on election security and allowing NK to build…

Have a 2015 F-150. Don’t know about lately, but early Sync is objectively seizure-inducingly bad. Glitches regularly. Regularly hangs or takes an eternity to pair. Can’t remember which phone it’s been paired with. Cannot handle texting from the phone AT ALL. And on and on.
