oppose Neil Gorsuch forever imo

will be interesting to see if this gets to SCOTUS before Gorsuch gets seated. Having a nominee going through the confirmation process while the administration is gearing up for a huge court fight feels p unusual.

DOJ just filed an amicus brief in a case involving the CFPB and said its unconstitutional.. fuck.

jesus christ

what happened?

implication there is DOJ is eager to make a case to the SCOTUS to strike down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as unconstitutional

just tipping the administration's hand that it wants to destroy the CFPB

wow

yeah, that goes way beyond just weakening it or limiting its powers

Hasn't that stuff been winding its way through courts for months?

is scotus likely to deal such a blow? idk

The Roberts Way is to puncture legislation and programs he dislikes with enough holes such that their enforcement powers are nullified.

corporatist GOP wing of SCOTUS is p clearly defined by now

Is it too late for Wayne Tracker, wider than a mile...

Or

Wayne Tracker, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

I'm hoping every plaintiff in a case against exxon gets a shitload of sanctions because of this wayne tracker bullshit

I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand

WAYNE TRACKER

*stadium applause*

She thinks you love the beach
You're such a damn liar
Wayne Tracker

Wayne Tracker
lives on his back
Wayne Tracker
loves chimney stacks

he's outrageous
he screams and he bawls
Wayne Tracker
let yourself go, oh

i'm sure it was half a page long

fuck I don't know how much more of this shit I can take. doubling down on this wiretapping. rescinding or stating that they have not apologized. just constant untruths.

What's this about a laptop being stolen containing plans for trump tower

http://patch.com/new-york/brooklyn/secret-service-laptop-stolen-brooklyn-agent-may-contain-trump-tower-floor-plan

Unless that story turns into a heist movie (preferably with Tom Cruise hanging from a harness, speaking in hushed tones into a headset to a wisecracking demolition expert, preferably played by Mos Def) it's probably a nothingburger. They can wipe the laptop remotely and nothing will come of it, alas.

Did I say cut the light-blue wire? Shit, man! I meant the dark-blue wire!

Or maybe:

"We have captured the plans of the dark lord's lair. Many Bothans died to bring us this information."

Someone leaked these DOJ documents to me. I am pasting them below:

Wonder who conned who here

sure, if it was your run of the mill thieves who stole it for the resale value of the fucking laptop itself. alternatively, giant USSS fuckup symptomatic of a broader trend I don't like to think about, and now some more competent professionals who knew exactly what they were after have gotten what they wanted. PS if we're lucky it was some NATO member state hedging their bets.

"Boris you have outdone yourself this time. Thanks to laptop, we no longer need your brother's company to install cameras, we can just use USSS system. Oh, you didn't know it was your brother? Hmm. I make a call, maybe cleanup crew was slow today. Very sorry."

did you guys post this? laziest googlers in white house history.

Angela Merkel has a PhD in quantum chemistry.
Donald Trump misspelled "tap."
Not exactly a meeting of the minds.

Jesus that fucking poem thing. It's not so much the gaffe or the crap Googling, but the way Trump has to immediately wrap an obvious lie around it ("This is a good one, this is one I like. I've heard it for many, many years and I love it.").

For fun!

One of Judge Napolitano's sources? Larry C. Johnson, who once propagated a hoax about Michelle Obama

Mr. Napolitano, who keeps a residence in Manhattan at Trump International Hotel & Tower on Central Park West, did not respond to inquiries on Friday.

But Mr. Johnson, who was himself once a Fox News contributor, said in a telephone interview that Mr. Napolitano called him on Friday and requested that he speak to The New York Times. Mr. Johnson said he was one of the sources for Mr. Napolitano’s claim about British intelligence.

Mr. Johnson became infamous in political circles after he spread false rumors in 2008 that Michelle Obama had been videotaped using a slur against Caucasians. In the interview on Friday, Mr. Johnson acknowledged his notoriety, but said that his knowledge of surveillance of Mr. Trump came from sources in the American intelligence community. Mr. Napolitano, he said, heard about his information through an intermediary.

“It sounds like a Frederick Forsythe novel,” Mr. Johnson said.

Turns out ol' Larry is also kinda notorious for one of the most ill-timed op-eds ever.

Appearing at a luncheon with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny on Thursday, Trump said: "As we stand together with our Irish friends, I'm reminded of that proverb -- and this is a good one, this is one I like. I've heard it for many, many years and I love it. 'Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those that have stuck by you.'"
"We know that, politically speaking. A lot of us know that, we know it well. It's a great phrase," Trump added.

also, when has trump ever remembered to forget anyone he thought proved untrue

the stupidity of these motherfuckers is bottomless
