My feelings on the Shaun King thing: 1) Beloved political figures can still be abusers. 2) Many calls placed to CPS are anonymous. More often than not, this is because the people placing the calls do not want the parents/guardians to retaliate by cutting off their access to the children. Anonymity is not necessarily nefarious. 3) If Shaun King's children were being abused, it's a good thing that someone spoke out, and that the children could be getting help. 4) If this is just trolling, I hope it ends quickly & as painlessly as possible for their children. It's despicable that anyone would waste CPS' valuable resources for their own "own the libs" agenda. Yes, this is a fair point. I admit I take/took it for granted this is just trolling. I don't know him personally, and I pray to God his kids aren't actually in a situation that requires intervention. I like to believe he and his wife are good people and their kids are well cared for. Obviously we all want what's best for the kids, and if it is #4, fuck those assholes.

DiFi tweeted that the National Archives has said it will be October before they can collate and release Kavanaugh's records.
ETA: Amd, of course, Mitch is going to push for confirmation quickly, probably before the records are released.

There are over a million pages but his time at the white house isnt as important as his judicial opinions. And thats what they should focus on, was her answer. so once again, its ok for the gop to completely do opposite day when it comes to THEIR people.

Trump/DOJ want to pass the buck to the ACLU and other NGOs to find separated families: Isn't it repubs who are always foaming at the mouth about personal responsibility?

Do you guys think we need a separate thread for the Manafort trial?

Do you guys think we need a separate thread for the Manafort trial? We may need a separate one soon for Mueller info in general. I’ve read a few articles over the last few days that there is chatter around congress that Mueller will be dropping his report on the obstruction investigation definitely before midterms- with speculation that it will be before Labor Day.

Like a massive Mueller thread? Or would that be too overwhelming for people? PS we could call it “Mueller Land”

I was saying it more in the context that it really seems like shit is going to blow up soon with everything I have been reading.
I forsee many special counsel threads in our future. lol.

Do we think he’ll drop it with congress in recess? I think it has to go thru the DAG first then to Congress. It just seems like he couldn’t possibly be finished that quick. But it’s not like we’re dealing with criminal masterminds
