Alternately, I am intrigued by the proposal of Giant Meteor as running mate, and wish to hear more.

Very, very much looking forward to what extensive public acknowledgement of his tax crimes will do to Trump’s blood pressure on top of the current mess.

I find that claim by Zaid strange and unnecessarily water-muddying — his own letter details how his WB client fears the various open threats that have been made and asking the Feds to “activate appropriate resources to ensure their [the client’s] safety”.

Black Hole 2020

My heart sank at that and I wondered who on earth was advising her to do it. It was unlike her usual relative savvy with these things, although to be honest her occasional nerdy awkwardness is a huge part of her charm.

That last tweet is slightly astonishing, given that it rests on the OBVIOUSLY debunked nonsense story in The Federalist, head-splitting tripe based on a misunderstanding of the federal form revision process. The legal whistleblowing reporting procedure itself has not been changed, much less right before this latest…

Well, preferably don’t fuck them, of course. That’s what they’re angling for.

All true, and worrisome. I don’t know to what extent I trust the mechanisms — or political representatives — currently in place to be strong enough to adequately address the corruption, either. But I’m not sure that all the focus is on this admin’s circumvention of simple bureaucratic norms; there do appear to be a…

Let’s hope she’s learned to simply pass over his nonsense in silence and focus on the important issues. She’s certainly by leaps and bounds the smartest candidate the Dems could field. I’ve been a fan for years.

I’d still be fascinated to hear how you perceive Donald J. Trump as possessing any personal strength in any possible capacity, if you feel like sharing with the class.

I’ve repeated this anecdote possibly too often, but I’m on the board of a narcolepsy foundation and discovered at a meeting last year that I was not the only one who feared attending our big fundraising gala in DC — considering the very real possibility that the current president could come sidling over and ask in a co…

Counterpoint: Trump’s brain is a jello-encapsulated hairball.

But I think most sane commenters fully understand that this particular CIA agent, though employed by a bureau that is certainly capable of despicable behavior, has themself by all currently available accounts done nothing wrong, followed all law in this matter and indeed proven themselves a patriot.

It was apparently said on tv tonight (60 Minutes) that the whistleblower has requested and been granted federal protection for credible threats to their life. So for what that’s worth —

To be honest, what I HATE is the fact that I honestly cannot discern how any adult human would perceive bitch-ass Donald Trump, who is made almost entirely of jello-encapsulated hairballs, as possessing any kind of strength in any realm whatsoever. Please elaborate; you’re a fascinating human anomaly.

I mean, last night he was retweeting greasy dumpster residue from The Federalist.

The whistleblower was actually just placed under federal protection; methinks you are underplaying the violence being fomented by Trump, his party and his supporters here.

On a more structural level, it’s also clear that this administration loves wasting as many man-hours over at State as humanly possible, since they have always despised it for its sterling nonpartisan career employees. One of the articles on this latest email “investigation” includes someone reporting that the state…

Waiting for the first time he tries his tired ‘Pocahontas’ shit on Warren directly and she just starts referring to him as ‘Broke-ahontas’ for the remainder of the campaign.
