A police officer had to let the cat in at Number 10.

So I've been swamped for the last week and half. So I'm not paying super close attention except to headlines and in order to do the job I get paid for, I have music instead of the news on at my desk for a good portion of the day. That said, on the way in I still listen to cnn. This morning Toobin was all I need to say that i have some culpability in the coverage during 16 of Hillz emails. They weren't important and we shouldnt have given it so much coverage. Which is such a freaking cop out and leading into I dont think Ivankas emails need that much coverage. They all agreed they made it a bigger news story than necessary and they dont think the house dems are going to even bother to investigate this. Which in typical times with a typical leader I would mostly agree. BUT for last last 3.5 years we have heard nothing but lock her up and but her emails. Ivanka and ANYONE ELSE associated with that stupid campaign should have known better. YOU KNOWINGLY KNOWINGLY VIOLATED RULES. You deserve to be punished. I'm so sick of everything this family does getting a fucking pass. SO SICK Not only this but, since nobody knows what's in Ivanka's "portfolio," we don't know what kind of information, classified or not, she is flinging around in her personal email. But we shouldn't worry because her personal attorney went thru everything and decided what was important

Walmart is asking for a refund of campaign donations made to Cindy Hyde-Smith I saw a picture of her on Twitter this morning wearing a Confederate hat while carrying a musket. I'd like to say she doesn't have a chance in hell to get elected, but these days who the fuck knows anymore. This is Mississippi we're talking about. Sorry to all the good people in Mississippi.

This is a really fascinating article on what people do after the worst happens. "Humans do not, under the pressure of an emergency, socially collapse. Rather, they seem to display higher levels of social cohesion, despite what media or government agents might expect…or portray on TV. Humans, after the apocalypse, band together in collectives to help one another—and they do this spontaneously. Disaster response workers call it ‘spontaneous prosocial helping behavior’, and it saves lives." This actually provided me with some relief. I guess I believed the science fiction hype that we all devolve in the face of disaster.

A Dem rep offered an amendment that would mandate comprehensive sex education in K-12 schools as a way of reducing unintended pregnancies but THAT AMENDMENT WAS SHOT DOWN. I can't. Fuck whoever shot this down. Sincerely, I LITERALLY just walked out of my health education curriculum writing workshop

Also NOW after 2 years of media harping on him about not visiting active duty overseas troops he decides to go?

He is incapable of growth/learning.
"President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment."

I’m remembering that Don MCGahn spoke with the special counsel for like 30 hours.
I mean my gosh with today’s news they could actually have an obstruction case.

I think there will be lots of Republicans trying to challenge him in the primary. We had 13 running in the primary for Gowdy's seat.

My man is crushing it this week. He also got a draft pick from Claire Malone in the 538 podcast 2020 presidential run draft. I mean, it was the last pick of the draft....but still.
