Are Trump wine bottles made that small so Donny's hands look bigger?

what is the point of writing something like this. It's not impossible, they are already doing it, and his base is going to eat it up as gospel, like they do everything else.

you'd think after 2 years of this we'd know better than to give him the benefit of the doubt on literally anything, and yet

rolling evidence of general unhappiness with conservative governments

Farage may be the absolute worst.

... that nonetheless have recently won the last elections in their countries, so we're stuck with them.

This is not a crazy thesis imo https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/donald-trump-is-making-europe-liberal-again/

I don't buy it as applied to the uk individually but those sure are a lot of elections.

this is the best response to that Farage tweet

“We’re in touch with Shakespeare colleagues all over the country,” Director Stephen Burdman said. “Shakespeare Dallas received over 40 very violent emails, like ‘we’re going to come and rape you.’ And they’re doing Quixote.”

The UK is special - it has a unique bilateral alliance with the US which has never been at risk. The rest of Europe is more alert to the fact that NATO really fucking matters.

tofulysses, I followed your link, and that might be the worst website I've been to that wasn't porn. jesus christ

lol, you've never been to deadline before?

An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week.

Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time.

Soooooo is perjury like a 'three strikes, yer out!' type of thing, or...?

You got us again, Jefferson, you scamp! But, can you please try to rein in the lying under oath, huh? For us?

lol that was reported in October last year. Not sure how Sessions thought he could slide on that.

perjury before Congress is prosecutable by Congress, three guesses how that's going to go for an ex-Senator

(and a member of the majority party that is totally uninterested in reigning in the executive)

have you all called your senators?

re AHCA

I'm starting to feel like we maybe need to look into closing some of these 'the president can do basically whatever he wants, anybody can lie to Congress under oath as long as Congress doesn't mind' loopholes.

both of my Senators (esp Harris) are v much pushing back against the AHCA so I may call to offer praise and support

i live in vermont, i'm covered

I'm not sure what i can tell Schumer other than "Don't fuck this up the way you guys generally do."

Yeah, Durbin and Duckworth doing OK for us here.

have you all called your senators?

i called cruz's office and said his ass is grass in 2018. also called murkowski and collins like "i know i dont live in your state but u represent AMERICA dont kill people"

best tactic re: Cruz imo would be to tell him to vote against it cuz it doesn't fully repeal Obamacare

Bill Nelson is a no, the Plankton is a yes unless Trump goes no, then the Plankton will blink a lot and drink water

gee how does he do it

bison what i've read is it does matter if you call your home senator :/

i called franken and klobuchar to bitch at them for not making more noise about this. the reporting from the hill is not encouraging.

no i know, i called my home senators tedward cruz (TED CRUZ) and jerk cornhole (JOHN CORNYN) and will likely do that some more

Called Jeff Flake every day this week. Called McCain too, but nobody ever answers the phone at his office. My partner said she got a surprisingly positive response from the Flake staffer when she called. With his election coming up next year, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being one of the two Republicans who the leadership allows to vote No.

you won't get anywhere w Cornyn but Cruz you could conceivably sway by encouraging him to be even MORE of an asshole

xp

who knows though, pressure from the far right in AZ is, as you can imagine, insane

portman is a wishy washy lil bitch and will hem and haw but will still vote for this thing

I also called Cruz and Cornyn, don't have have high hopes for them

2:00 PM: President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump participate in the Investiture Ceremony for Justice Neil Gorsuch

2:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with President Juan Orlando Hernández of Honduras

3:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with President Jimmy Morales of Guatemala

4:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with Vice President Óscar Ortiz of El Salvador

4:45 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a meeting with President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti

Looks like Yam is sticking to the ceremonial shit, or that Gorsuch investiture has a hella long cocktail hour.

My message was be transparent,share the details of the bill and have an actual debate, if the bill is so bad that it needs to be secret, it's best to drop it.

xp

trump tweeting about hillary again lol

2:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with President Juan Orlando Hernández of Honduras

3:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with President Jimmy Morales of Guatemala

4:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with Vice President Óscar Ortiz of El Salvador

^^^ he's on campus now. It's a conference, so he's cheating.

get near him and yell for Mother

ok lol

I still dont get the strategery in letting the president look like a whiny fucking baby all day long

as a blanket thing i should say that my attitude has become a fair bit more morbsian post-election than it was beforehand.

i figured that hillary would be a mediocre-decent dem president; now i'm near convinced that the hold the clinton wing has on liberalism in this country is completely malignant. (granted this is an impression gleaned from social media where conflict and stupidity are maximized)

i mean, look at this shit:

Bernie Sanders explains his no vote -- one of only two in the Senate -- on Russia/Iran sanctions: pic.twitter.com/rHOou7ObZb

— George Zornick (@gzornick) June 15, 2017

it's sanders' statement why he didn't vote for more russian sanctions: because there are also increased sanctions on iran, which endangers the nuclear agreement. only he and rand paul voted no

but look at those replies (if twitter even displays them correctly, a totally open question these days). it's one maniac paranoid democrat after another, with the same nutty line

leftists = mysoginists = russians = racists = bernie = spies = trump. they're all in it together!!

I would assume they're trying to steer Trump away from meeting with any other heads of state, because his optics are horrendous and he says dumb shit and then lies about it

I have been to international thingamabobs where they totally schedule the shit out of "side meetings" like that - one of the directors in my shop just went to a thing in Bratislava where the fucking PROGRAM AGENDA runs right up until 10pm or so because it's all stuff like that, big honchos talking to each other for 20 minutes, then huddle with staff, then another honcho-honcho chat, and on and on. With panels.

So this

Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?

Prompted this, which I can't argue with.
