On the one hand, it pleases me that it’s his own party handing him his ass.

I love that he apparently DVRs all of cable news so he knows what all of the teevee people are saying about him each day. That isn’t deranged at all!

Meanwhile Shep Smith and Bret Baier have actually been shooting down the claims, and even defending CNN a time or two. What a cluster it must be over there since Ailes left a massive (presumably noxious) power-vacuum. It will be interesting to see who wins in the end.

If he did, it would be unprecedented. Nixon was pardoned at least partly to get a politically divided nation over an exteremely traumatic chapter as quick as possible. Remember, Watergate took three years to play out. A criminal trial of a former president would keep the wounds open for at least another year and we…

He’s not going to form a committee. Oh, he’ll talk about it and cite “things” “his people” are finding more and more. But there’s never going to be a committee.

That would be swell. And great.

The latter.

And to think he could have been president.

The smell was still there in the mid-nineties, that’s for sure. Decades later, I’m sure I’d still recognize it. Strange and off-putting.

That is weird and stupid and confusing to me. Sales is work! (I say that as someone that once took a sales position while having little talent for it.) And I’ve know more than a couple of people that failed at Avon-type businesses- it’s not like it’s an automatic success. Why would they minimize their efforts?

Joy Reid is a goddamned treasure.

My mother-in-law was selling Melaleuca* when I first got married. Yeah! Tough to say no! I ended up with a bunch of skincare products I didn’t want, shitty-tasting toothpaste, and crappy household cleaners that NEVER WORK.

My mother and nearly all of my aunts used Skin So Soft products. The scent is lovely, it takes me back to my childhood, but I haven’t been able use it myself since my late teens. Too weird to smell like my mom.

LOL. I was literally about to reply “Fucking Arbonne”. Glad I scrolled down. 😆

Oh, they’re the same ideologically, no doubt about it. She just has more self-control than he does. The Trumps will make no money if Donald alienates trade partners or decides to fuck off and nuke somebody out of nowhere.

And with all this (terrifying!) loose talk about North Korea, I imagine even the “sane” members of his administration would see a need for her to have security clearance. You know, just in case she he overreacts to some classified info and she needs to talk him down from a first strike or some other catastrophic…

I think you nailed it.

Just to provide a comparison: The previous President of Germany had to resign over a $800 hotel bill that a friend had paid for him.

The sad thing is, she’d probably be better at State than Tillerson is rn. The man cannot stop shitting the bed.

Nice! Here are some stars.
