I need hairpats this morning because I’m not feeling good about Rosenstein seeming to cave on this bullshit spying accusations. It feels like that orange bag of rotting flesh is going to fuck over the DOJ and the Mueller investigation. I need Mueller to indict someone huge like Kushner or Jr. These Republicans really don’t give two shits about this country and are just out for self. Democrats have got to start being out front on this. We’ve gone way past the polite stage.

Honestly, y'all, I think the Eagle Creek kid got off pretty light. I have big feelings about people fucking with Oregon, though, so maybe that's just me. I do understand that. The damage he caused is horrific. I'm not even really worried about him, per se. More about if he can't afford to live life because of his payments, he ends up being a burden on someone. Or he gets so desperate because of them that he does something else criminally stupid or causes more hurt. I don't think I'm explaining it well. ETA: Knowing that the payments will likely be relative to his salary or whatever does ease that a little.

And seriously Bernie Sanders can go fuck himself. Why do people give him the time of day and ask him about Democrats and the party I’m general. He’s not a ducking Democrat. He’s a selfish, self promoting asshole who gave us that rotting orange carcass.
Ok. Done ranting now. Is it too early for a drink? Asking for a friend.

Mimosas and Bloody Marys make day drinking acceptable.

I totally agree RBG. Why does everyone want to ask Bernie Sanders how the Democratic party should behave? HE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT.

2 Senators working across the aisle want an investigation of the fake comments on the FCC website in support of the new Net Neutrality stance. Source: Senators ask the FCC to investigate fake net neutrality commentsThis goes toward what that asshat Ajit Pai said that the FCC should be in charge of enforcement and investigations. If it can't do this right how is it going to police the Internet like Ajit Pai wants it to. And how can it be trusted to do so if it can't do this right to start with.

What the fuck?!?!?! Manhandling a reporter is a sure fire way to prove you're being aboveboard. And I kind of get the animus to CNN (manhandling still not acceptable), but the AP, too?

Thanks, @heartbot.
I think that could come across a little snarky, but I sincerely appreciate the explanation and patience.

One more freedom they are trying to take away. Step by step our institutions are being eroded. The press must take the gloves off. This should not happen in a free society.

my gosh, Betsy can't answer a simple question. She's infuriating. Students need to be ready and prepared to enter the workplace but according to information found during her NYC visit kids coming from her catholic private schools are finding they are not prepared for any outside trade or job outside of religious leadership or study. Shocking.....

LOL I just read on The Hill that there is a sinkhole that developed on the White House lawn, close to the location of the press briefing room.
That's some sort of weird poetic justice if the WH gets swallowed up in it right?

I think the most maddening thing about how bad Betsy DeVos is at tesifying before Congress is how obvious it is that she has been coached. she's obviously practiced this and she's STILL horrible at it.

I agree. And her main point is to stall her answers as much as possible during a Democrat question to waste all their time so she can get back to being praised by a Republican. What are the good/bad stats on her voucher program in Indiana & Florida?

really important point here from Amy Siskind:
It’s important to remember for those of us who are fully up on the news, that most of our country does not follow that closely. Trump is branding reality, quite successfully to make it look like Obama and/or Clinton masterminded having the FBI infiltrate his campaign, and Invent this Witch Hunt to delegitimization and take him down. We already now know the name of the informant-shame on Trump and GOP for that!-so today they are hedging their bets and saying there may be more. But to outside eyes not looking closely, Rosenstein opening an investigation means there is something to investigate. Trump will build on his 3,000+ lies to discredit Mueller. It is important to cover the broader themes and truth, NOT the shiny coins Trump throws to perpetuate his narrative. Our country and democracy are in danger!

Fuck Roger Stone - will supply required documents hard copy in two trailers full, instead of electronically, “because he can”.

I'm sure they'll find some way to blame Obama for it. Like, Michelle diverted too much to the gardens to care for the rest of the lawn or something equally ridiculous.

"Lesley Stahl asked Trump in semi-private meeting why he’s always attacking the press. His answer: “I want to demean you and discredit you so that when you do negative stories about me, no one will believe you.”"
On the one hand, water is wet. We knew this.
On the other, WTF to actually saying this shit out loud. My God, we're not going to recognize the American presidency by the time he's done with it.

Honestly, I'm shocked that his attitude is proactive. I always assumed it was purely reactive. I didn't think he could operate this strategically.

how about we push for an additional DOJ investigation into whether there was any unfair targeting or treatment of the Clinton campaign.

The Senate Banking Committee voted overwhelmingly to prevent Trump from boosting Chinese tech/spycraft company ZTE. Finally, they do something!

Protesters silently holding up signs saying, "Refugees welcome here" are now being arrested and removed from the House Homeland Security hearing.
