The racists just can’t go more than a full presidential election cycle since Reagan without creating a new poll tax, can they? Fucking disgusting and pathetic...

All good... not sure why it feels like Friday though...

Yikes is right.

Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, is one sneaky, shady, SOB... He’s like the reincarnation of Lee Atwater with more history and shady money to work with. Pence is going nowhere. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pence primaried Trump.

They can both testify, but they can impeach each other’s testimony, whether they’re married or not. That makes both of them witnesses with no credibility. It’s a common defense tactic when it can be employed, especially in white-collar cases where the possible witness pool is very small.

I feel like Kushner’s kept in check by his access to the mid-east, particularly the US foreign policy in Israel, and Ivanka’s just Daddy’s little girl and El Grande Cheeto’s Work Wife.

That’s a bit of a stretch, because you’re talking about all three branches of government working together and agreeing. If the president-appointed judges didn’t have to be confirmed by the Senate, then there’d be some basis for that, Congress could get involved and challenge things.

Career military men that move into government that have been around as long as they both have have tend to have a shorthand with each other, or so it seems.

Yeah, this is probably true, but the man has lived his life playing dirty politics and has a goddam tattoo of Nixon’s head. Probably not going to happen.

No, but it was the only charge ever filed. He was never charged with, but was excoriated for his work for Turkey without registering as a foreign agent (I think that was it.) Whatever the crime is labeled technically, he wrote op-eds about how the US should extradite Erdogan’s political enemy while being paid by them

It’s not a shock; Flynn caved pretty quickly, gave a ton of background and testimony on other cases as well as the central Trump/Russia thing, encouraged others to do the same, and probably has been proven to be honest when it comes to all that info after the fact. That, plus his 3+ decades of military service that

ugh. Sound bars.

Hey, Nick, “Obsessives” isn’t spelled S-U-P-E-R-F-A-N-S.

(pssst: I’m sure the recipe comes out great, but that’s a stock photo.)

I’m assuming this is someone who believes they’re acting in concert with the protesters in France. Not sure how pizza in French Canada equates to gas taxes in France, but anyone throwing Molotov Cocktails probably has a screw loose to begin with.

Now playing

I think the “Bush Consensus” should be the opening of my favorite stand-up special, which comes from the incomparable George Carlin, and it arrived in the middle of the Bush presidency:

So... what’s you’re take on baked mostaccioli? no ridges, but pointy ends.

I think it’s fair to say that you could easily swap out “Ronald Reagan’s Vice President” with “Director of the CIA,“Chairman of the Republican National Committee,” or “Texas Oil Tycoon” and still be accurate.

FAKE NEWS!

While I agree, ziti is definitely the superior pasta for baking, and don’t call it ziti if it ain’t ziti, this is just ridiculous:
