Don’t give up hope yet.

Sergey Kislyak is one of Russians top spies and top recruiters of assets/spies.

I suggest you read the rest of what Rand Paul tweeted, then you won’t have to defend him. He’s not so much concerned about secrecy as he is that it will be too similar to Obamacare.

There’s totally a plan. My girlfriend read it. She’s Canadian, you wouldn’t know her.

For all of his flaws, Rand does think for himself, even in 90% of those thoughts are libertarian nonsense.

Has anybody checked to see whether it’s just sitting there on Capitol Hill?

“Stupid” is what old white Southern Republicans want you to believe. . . when it’s convenient.

No one is saying this. She’s grieving and likely not thinking entirely straight, honestly. He took advantage of her in a bad moment to cover himself in fake glory.

And by the way, if you look at the faces of his children/relatives, they are smirking while she weeps. You know her? You might want to show her this shot.

Considering Trump made a mockery of her husband’s ultimate sacrifice by crowing about how much applause he got I’d say 45 did a great job of disrespecting the war widow.

He wasn’t belittling her, and nobody has ever framed it that way. Her loss is very real. It was also completely in vain, on a poorly designed plan, which ultimately falls to the Commander in Chief. And Trump both grotesquely trotted her out there to pump himself up, while dodging the blame by saying military leaders…

As long as you can get American soldiers killed, you will always have defenders, because there will always be people who think saying that American soldiers were sent somewhere to die for no good reason is more offensive than sending American soldiers somewhere to die for no good reason.

Chris Cilizza is consistently and dangerously moronic. But “Donald Trump understood the applause for Carryn Owens was a moment. And he let it be.” is simply wrong.

To me, as a German interested in history and vigorously opposed to racism and the like, its mindblowingly incomprehensible that you murricans seem to have learned nothing from our history between 1923 and 1945. How can 44% approve of what this racist, narcissist, lying freak dictator wannabe and his team of horrible…

First, the only reason not to answer such a straight-forward question as “is Islam a religion?” is if the answer is “no”. Second, if Islam isn’t a religion, it’s pretty hard to imagine on what possible grounds the other two abrahamic religions could be. Third, to refuse to recognize a religion or to purposely conflate…

It’s not about policy or politics, really. Bannon/Miller know they won’t win that battle in the long run, but they’re okay with that because it doesn’t matter. What they want is already happening—The ICE raids, the customs/immigration aggressiveness, and probably a lot of shitty police actions. Any time the…

When he told us what VOICE stood for, Congress just gasped. Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement sounds like something that would assist immigrants who had crimes committed against them. Much like The Wall, I don’t think people were clamoring for this task force to be created. He cited four examples of illegal…

Donald Trump is still a guy who spent years explicitly and implicitly saying that President Obama did not deserve the success he had and who had committed massive fraud.

@LaComtesse: But this doesn't even have to be cynicism. Many people who advocate for alternative medicine have convinced themselves that doctors don't care about their patients. Hold them in active disdain, even. In their minds, doctors are greedy butchers and whores who poison our children and carve up our bodies…

I would be interested to know the origin of this term. Above, it says that it's been floating about the mid-wife blog circuit. And that makes the cynic in me perk up her evil little pointed ears.
