If he fires Mueller now, do we think Congress will do anything or will the GOP continue to be spineless sacks of shit? I think the House has to start impeachment hearings and I don't see Paul Ryan doing a damn thing. I think some GOP Senators would do the right thing but the House GOP is a different story.

God nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see Paul Ryan voted out.

I have the Daily Beast has this in email/ audio recordings. Yeah, he wrote it in an email. Along with quoting Tennessee Williams. Is he the one that drinks or was that the last lawyer?

I volunteered to phone bank for Tuesday for one of the Dems running for House. I'm nervous and excited.

I don't see anything happening with Facebook this year. Congress is basically ignoring the Equifax situation, and that involved people's actual financial info. FB will have to get added to the long list of things for Congress to investigate when the Dems take the House.

I think Dowd was the lawyer who claimed he wrote a Trump tweet that was obstruction-y.

I think Dowd was the lawyer who claimed he wrote a Trump tweet that was obstruction-y. And one of the ones who were overheard talking shop at a DC restaurant.

After the last 18 months, I imagine the dems’ list of to-do’s when they get the majority back looks like this:

So one thing I don't get re: McCabe. There were stories that he met with Wray in January over the OIG investigation and Wray told him he was going to be moved out of his position.
So why wasn't Wray the one to fire him? Where is he in all this?

Don Jr was hanging at MAL with Mark Foley.
Every word of that sentence feels icky.

Pete Williams seems to think McCabe likely won't lose his pension. He won't. He will not be able to collect until age 57 instead of 50, and it will probably be less $. He will probably lose access to Fed retiree health benefits.

But hope that eventually someone would step up. He’s no ina blatant power grab and I haven’t seen a single gop elected leader even say ummmmm maybe we have made a mistake

I honestly think this might be bigger than the McCabe story. This is terrifying. I love FB and I am on there more than anyplace else, but I am thinking about curtailing my use and info there. I mainly use it to post political articles and have convos (and tweak my ILs) so it would be a real loss for me to abandon it. I have been thinking about deleting mine. The only thing I will miss is when events pop up.

What fresh hell can this week bring? Every time I open this thread and see this, I chuckle. Then sob a little bit at how much shit manages to get crammed into a week in this administration.

I’m glad he will at least get some pension. My husband has to make it to exactly 20 so that’s why I was so upset for McCabe. .
It’s still major fucking bullshit though.

Apparently at the student walk out protest, Bernie interrupted the planned protest—and specifically the woman who represents Sandy Hook—in order to grandstand. He wasn’t invited to speak because he’s got a shit record on gun control. Gross. I really hate him
