William Barr for AG...what kind of person takes that job now?
I’m praying it’s someone who cares enough about the institution to protect it and has no further personal ambitions.
But would Trump really pick someone like that?

That seems to be what RogueNASA is saying (though s/he could just be trolling tonight) and I know there was speculation before. I have no idea if it truly was or not. I think it was a joke? Same

On a totally different note, perhaps the best of science news twitter today: I read that earlier. Who knew a dead eel up your nose made you one fo the cool seals?

"Cracks me up: right now @tuckercarlson on @foxnews is talking about an "Antifa" protest in Portland where people yelled at a "conservative journalist." ... 'cause there's nothing more important happening tonight. #IndividualOne #CohenSentencingMemo #ManafortMemo" This isn't funny. Not really. It's more evidence of the fake news FOX puts out. I can guarantee that most of the GOP will be raving on that instaed of the Mueller news tomorrow. It's a very effective method and they know it.

Agreed, but I was too lazy to find a tweet that didn't include Tucker's face. He's one of the names on my list of people whose faces makes me instantly rage.

But would Trump really pick someone like that? I think this was a somewhat strategic choice for this admin. He was 41's AG so everyone will say, "Ohhh he's old guard, he's an institutionalist." Meanwhile, the guy has been making statements about Uranium One and endorsing broad executive power.

I feel like he could be a Giuliani...someone who was in a respected, important position but who has gone round the bend.

Trump as the this fine dog feels so accurate. At what point is he going to realize he hasn't been cleared? 10pm or 4 am?

Emily Jane Fox looks ready to vomit which means Cohen is freaking out.
She has always been oddly close to him as a source, IMO

Santa Mueller was good to me. Somehow my bubble bath was screaming hot the entire time without ever being too hot. A miracle, indeed.

George Papadopoulos' wife forgot to sign into her fake account before texting wonderful things about herself, pretending to be someone else: How embarrassing. I am cringing and I don't even like her.

I trust bundy about as far as I can throw him. He’s a snake Agreed. But I did find his surprise that others weren’t willing to listen to him and his reasoning interesting to be.... maybe ironic? As in, that was my exact take on his mindset: that he felt he knew best and nothing could convince him otherwise, facts be damned. It must be strange for him to be on the opposite side of that now, and to actually recognize the zealotry and realize how little sway he actually has. He expected to be listened to and isn’t. I’d say it’s humbling but I feel like that gives too much credit to him. An ego blow for sure though. I’m not feeling sorry for him or something, just more observing that.
