I hadn't noticed that "alt-left" crock was by James Wolcott. He was much smarter writing about The Uncle Floyd Show 35 years ago for the Village Voice.

Schwarzenegger is leaving Celebrity Apprentice. His official statement:

it's weird to think that I actually would prefer one Celebrity Apprentice host as president over another

wolcott's ok on ballet these days

it's weird to type the sentence "our current president has nowhere near the moral intelligence, empathy, or political experience of arnold schwarzenegger" and actually mean it

bring on President Stewart

Kristen Stewart?

Kristen Stewart?

[Lyle Lanley voice]: Ennnnnh, sure, why not

"Damn you, Alt Left! How dare you mock my poor Oscar-winning Meryl?!"

no no, Patrick Stewart* for president, Kristen Stewart for UN ambassador

*becoming a citizen

isn't oprah the frontrunner?

Not gonna get started on, say, Steuart Smith

Trump sees no difference between Schumer's meeting with Putin and his own shady business dealings. What a fucking moron.

tbf the donuts were filled with money

corrupt crullers

Corrupssaints

@tinyrevolution
The difference between now and 1974 is we don't really need any secret Oval Office tapes to know this

Very murder-board

it's not like the liberals are perfect, with benghazi and hillary's private email server

speaking of, i am SHOCKED that we're not hearing calls for pence's resignation given his use of a private email server while he was governor. very very surprising that no one seems to care

the gold nail polish in that infographic is a nice touch

And he uses two "s" when spelling "whereas"

that's pretty tasteful for a russian (xp)

dude that's not happening and that honestly shouldn't shock you xxxp

oh, i was being silly

of course it doesn't matter, i expect to literally never hear about it again

WASHINGTON - The American Civil Liberties Union has today demanded documents from four federal agencies concerning a potential executive order that would sanction religiously motivated discrimination against LGBT people, members of minority faiths, women, and people seeking reproductive health care.

“The American people deserve to know whether this administration plans to protect the rights of all Americans or whether it will sanction discrimination,” said Louise Melling, deputy legal director for the ACLU. “The ACLU fights every day to defend religious freedom, but religious freedom does not mean the right to discriminate against or harm others. If President Trump signs an executive order that authorizes discrimination against women and LGBT people, we will see him in court.”

The Freedom of Information Act requests were filed with the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, Justice, and Treasury and seek any communications regarding the drafting of an executive order that would attempt to grant broad religious exemptions to organizations from rules barring discrimination. A draft version of the order leaked last month....

my first instinct was that you were . my bad

oh, nbd! it's just funny to see how conservatives don't even attempt to avoid the whiff of hypocrisy when the shoe is on the other foot.

taxes are theft; therefore, conservatives are always already innocent

tbf all property is theft

That's part of the problem, but the bigger problem is the lying and the evading and the perjuring. So you met with the Russian ambassador, even prior to the election. So you do it on the record, and you admit to it when you're asked about it under oath, and you explain what you discussed. If you continue to act guilty, it's probably safe to assume that you're probably guilty even if we don't yet know exactly what you're guilty of.

Exactly, the whole administration is acting so strange that it's hard not to suspect that something big is amiss here. I mean what is this now, four resignations and one recusal from people that the administration still says "did nothing wrong"? If Sessions truly has no idea what they're talking about, as he claimed two nights ago, why is he amending the record now, after being caught?

people born into money, like donald trump, should never have to answer for anything. the more money, the more innocent. the awkwardness in all this is a sign of just how innocent donald trump ultimately is. now let's cut some taxes

it was mentioned like 50 posts ago now but that Vanity Fair "alt-left" article has been roundly (and correctly) mocked, what a crock

that sessions presser was so fucking weird. i keep thinking about it. he's a US senator and he basically goes up there and bumbles through some "well i don't recall, i'm not sure i even knew what was going on in the world at the time" in this thick drawl feigning innocence and i kept thinking that i couldnt understand what he was even talking about

Why isn't Yam itching to police the Deep State?

The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board... was created by Congress in 2004, at the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission, to help the executive branch balance national security priorities with individual rights. After Bush administration officials heavily edited PCLOB’s first report, one member resigned, and Congress in 2007 turned it into an independent agency and expanded its writ to include oversight of congressional action. Still, the board remained obscure; some members of Congress seemed unaware of its existence even as documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden produced more privacy scandals.

PCLOB is supposed to have five members, no more than three of whom come from the same political party; to employ a full-time chairperson; to have regular access to the 17 intelligence agencies; and to publish unclassified versions of its evaluations of U.S. espionage powers.

But with just one part-time board member left, after another member’s term ended last week, the agency has very few formal powers to police the so-called “deep state” until President Trump nominates a new board, the emails reveal. Without the statutory quorum of three members, PCLOB “may not initiate new advice or oversight projects” or offer advice to the intelligence community, according to a list drawn up by Jen Burita, PCLOB’s public affairs and legislative officer, and shared by email with several congressional staffers who had raised questions about the impact of the attrition among board members.

they say he is supposed to be this very meticulous guy too

Again, it's the full monty: No. I mean, I don't recall. I mean, yes, but I don't recall what we talked about. I mean, yes, I do recall what we talked about, but I don't recall specifically, just that it wasn't important. But I can't recall if it was important or not. Oh, and these are the people who were with me, though maybe they weren't.

I would love to see him and Page together. It would be all:

James Wolcott's had his head up his own ass since at least Clinton's first term. One of the most buffoonish hacks around, utterly enraptured by his own "wit."

Probably a Russia spy. I heard.

it's exactly the sort of BS defense that Sessions himself would've torn apart

Couple more GOP endorsed call for tax returns, which means the yelling at town halls and making calls must be working.

would we be able to understand his tax returns, without getting all jealous of his success?

Maybe he is hiding his tax returns so that we won't feel bad about not being as rich as him. Maybe he is just being considerate.
