I'm not totally opposed to your way of thinking, Morbs, but it'd be easier to follow you with some specifics on what, specifically they should have done in this case. The flag pin press conference thing sounds like a complete sad flop to me.

This isn't directed at you but: as with fantasies of how we're going to flip the Senate, I no longer want to read any article on a specific committee thing like this that doesn't get precise about exactly which Republicans are in there, what the politics in their states look like, what their last elections/primaries looked like, how often they've voted with Mitch, etc., and then ranks them by who seems most flippable (to the extent that anybody in a majority party is flippable on anything, and I do think things like Puzder's scrapped nom suggest there is hope).

Like, give me at least a limited approximation of the tactical information the Dem Senators on the committee are working with. Otherwise we start verging into ''oh man if I'd been there at that gas station robbery I would have saved the day, I took karate for six months in middle school and let me tell you, these guys are so dumb...'' territory.

After all, wouldn’t you love to catch Team Obama red-handed? Well, Trump has the means to do so. Nothing is stopping him. Right now, even. So why not squeeze when you’ve got their nether regions in the palm of your hands? Dude already went back on his pledge to “lock her up.” Now he’s not gonna declassify the documents that could bust Obama, too? Come on, man.

Stirring stuff.

Start verging? We've been there for a while now.

Finally, she pushed open the door and her eyes feasted on the betrayal. Her mind wondered how she let this go on for so long that her husband would become so blatant as to defile their marriage bed in the middle of the day.

Ah ha ha ha, that's beautiful. I don't know how many times I've used that tactic at work with people who issue terse 'follow-ups' on projects they neglected to inform me of in the first place. 'Please forward your original request, as it's crucial that we figure out how this fell through the cracks.'

after the ACA gets revised and passes and ten million people lose coverage and the plans are these garbage skinny plans with 25k deductibles and the high risk pool costs too much for anybody to participate in, Trump will probably launch and investigation: "Where are my plans? These aren't the plans I promised. What did you do with them?"

Seems like Graham is someone the Dems should start working on. There's at least a little wiggle room with that dude.

xpost yeah it is, it points out that the DOJ has the means to actually put an end to the speculation and Trump himself could declassify any data he was aware of. Lindsey and Sheldon both know the response they're going to get and it will be hilarious.

so Trump and Melania are having the Cruzes over for dinner tonight.

I would be willing to forgive, say, three terrible things Trump has done if he would serve them soup for dinner.

Ugh, just when I thought I couldn't have any less respect for Cruz.

how long do we think before we have another Pizzagate scenario where a civilian hears fake news and nearly or actually kills someone because of it? I'm not even talking the hate crimes that have escalated under this Presidency, I'm talking phony bullshit news either perpetuated by Trump or his cronies at Breitbart that have caused unstable idiots to do things?

It's possible that this will be Pizzagate again, though it doesn't really fit the 'perpetuated by Trump or Brietbart' description.

T/F

many republicans (and some democrats) would welcome an ISIS-sponsored attack on U.S. soil followed by an escalation of war against ISIS (boots on the ground) because it would boost favorability for their party and distract from domestic issues, like what's (not) happening with The World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017.

in a similar but real DMX vein.. one of the victims of the hate crime in kansas city was named Srinivas Kuchibhotla but the pic they used for him in a local news report graphic was actually of Sri Srinivasan, currently court of appeals judge and liberal Supreme Court candidate should we ever have a dem president again. kind of a big fuckup nobody but a nerd like me noticed.
