That’s . . . kind of what I was thinking. I don’t do “election” / campaign finance law or anything like that, but can he actually pay his son’s legal fees out of campaign contributions to re-elect him as president? Or is this one of those things where a candidate goes out and buys a yacht or something and then “pays…

Something tells me FoxNews and all their viewers wouldn’t accept it as okay, either, IF it was about Obama/Hillary. Oh, wait. I forgot, this IS all about Obama and Hillary.

(I mean this as no insult) but your observation of this essential fact deserves shouting about because it’s so patently obvious. You’re exactly right. Actual “nothingburgers” require no getting the story straight, revising the story endlessly, multiple conflicting accounts, or lawyering up. It’s like these folks…

And FINDING a lawyer who could surrogate around Trump’s tweets is by far the hard (and apparently expensive) part. Remember when the History Channel was like “All Hitler, All the Time?” If we survive nuclear winter, there will be a fucking cottage industry of media broadcasting in all forms that will be devoted to…

Serious question: Do all base-donors to the Trump’s re-election actually enjoy the fact that their $$ donations are going to pay DTJr’s (and who knows who else’s) legal defense fund?

Money. Laundering. The Russia-election stuff is scuzzy AF, but it will be the filthy money Trump got when no one else would loan him a slap nickel that ultimately could lead to somewhere beyond pardons. I don’t know about the little piggies in the Congressional committees. But Mueller? He’s building his house of…

Apologies in advance for not knowing the original comic artist. I think it came from an EC comic that I scanned parts of years ago, but I couldn’t swear to it. I’ve always loved this frame, the way it’s set up. It reminds me of that scene from the end of the movie In Cold Blood, where the Robert Blake character is…

This is what is giving me the heebie-jeebies. I keep wondering what the Nevada senator is going to do; he’s going to have to do quite a change if he supports this version of the bill when he was pretty strong in his opposition to the previous (similar) version. But, frankly, I think there needs to be at least one…

Yeah! and as this is Teen Week around here, where are all the teens eager to get selfies on the back of this, the world’s most (in)famous turtle? C’mon, American Teens! Do your jobs! Selfies with Mitch McConnell for everyone!

. . . or Beatrix Kiddo.

You’re right, sorry about that overlap in my previous comment.

Agree! Chris Hayes actually had a great piece about dissecting the emails which really make it look like there was a phone call between DTJr. and . . . someone, right in the middle of the email chain. I can’t wait until they subpoena his phone records for that almost-one hour gap in the email chain.

I think they should just run Gorka’s voice through a pitch shift at -2 and a flanger, so it sounds more like EvilCoop in prison from Twin Peaks.

I’m skeptical as well, at least as to this spreading to the South, where I live. Confession for the record; I was in a college frat in the early 1980s, and I’m TOTALLY COOL with phasing them out. We did stupid shit and we undoubtedly drank too much, but it wasn’t people dying of alcohol poisoning, people committing…

As an old, I am not blaming social media, just stating that it was a major part of the hangout that both my daughters did during high school, for better and for worse. My youngest daughter didn’t even bother getting a driver’s license until two years after she was eligible.

I could definitely stand one more Hitler rant video, if it was about that subject.

Called the Dear Colleague Letter, the 18-page guideline extended protections to survivors by demanding that colleges and universities investigate to campus sexual assault claims in a timely manner and assess claims based on a “preponderance of the evidence” as opposed to the higher standard of “beyond a reasonable…

“Fake transparency”

This is especially telling when you consider that within hours of the meeting, Candidate Trump promised an upcoming YUGE damaging reveal of dirt on HRC. So, yeah, I’m sure 45 didn’t know anything about the meeting.

Wabbit Season! Duck Season! Wabbit Season!
