Neatly overlooking that a reporter said that he has sources telling him that top level White House staffers are openly talking about ways to intervene to prevent the president’s orders from being carried out, and that this apparently has become so commonplace that lower level staffers routinely make jokes about it,…

Since there’s little reason to believe that he treats his detail any better than he treats anyone else he deals with, I’m guessing that the Secret Service would be happy to trip him if he tries to run.

That’s not the difference, that’s just another little slice of heaven.

Call me silly, but I’m not finding it comforting to think of rooting for a coup d’etat.

Except “high crimes and misdemeanors” literally means anything that Congress decides is behavior serious enough to justify removal from office. It might be hard to sell poor approval ratings to the public, but idiotic tweets? You think it would be hard to sell a claim that his idiotic tweets risk touching off a…

Actually, it probably *is* better for this one to be in the 9th than in the 5th. The 9th is probably the most liberal circuit, while the 5th is possibly the most conservative.

I generally like the inclusion of adult substances, but if necessary, tomato soup with velveeta cheese can fill the void.

The only question is how many Ws are involved.

The window for using reconciliation that was trigged by that particular budget resolution expired on 9/30, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not possible for Congress to take action that would open a new window.

The day he came down the steps of AF1 and then wandered away from the limo comes to mind...

Seriously, his communication skills have always been in the “grade school kid faking his way through a book report” category, but if you look at current video clips compared to clips from the 80s and 90s, there’s been a massive…

I would be happy to move in with Trudeau and research this issue personally. Just saying.

I seriously turn on the news before I even get out of bed. There have been more than a few days lately where I decided to just pull the covers over my head and stay where I was.

Ya know, I gotta give your kid credit. When you think about it, saying, “No thanks, I’m good” on the cars is a pretty respectable bit of complex thinking and self-control for a toddler.

What do you think they’re doing with all those flights on Air Force One?

You say rant, I say putting out a minor reality check. Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to...

Trust me, there really is a sizable percentage of public sector employees that remain in their jobs at least in part because they’re afraid of what would replace them.

With an administration as mind-numbingly incompetent as this one, it’s the lower-level career employees that are actually keeping the government…

I fully expect that someone is working on their Rex Tillerson impression even as we speak.

I had no doubt that the Tillerson story was true the minute that Tillerson denied that he had threatened to quit but refused to address the “moron question.” The only reason to refuse to answer is that you don’t want to lie to the press.

{sigh} No, the system is set up that way because it would be absolutely idiotic to demand that the DA take literally every case to trial.

Or would you really prefer a system where a prosecutor couldn’t say, “No, we’re not wasting our time prosecuting the kid with a joint in his pocket. We’re not pursuing these…

Gotta love websites that link back to their own delusions as proof of the validity of those delusions.
