Ayers turned down CoS, now Rep Meadows of NC has hard passed it as well. Rats are jumping ship But he has lots of people, the best people wanting to work for him. Maybe already shared, but I saw something posted this morning about a teacher in VA being fired for refusing to use the correct pronouns for a student who was transgender. The teacher agreed to use the new name but not the pronouns.

Oh my god, y'all. This is a really long thread, but so worth it. I just read all that. Beautiful story. Then read in the replies that it's all fiction and he made most of it up? Not sure.

Is now a good time to resurface this? I hope DJT Jr has the nervous shits all the time, waiting for the ace to fall. Pretty sure he’s arrogant enough to believe he won’t get caught though.

I'm honestly wondering at this point just how many people in the GOP knew about this. Paul Ryan quitting suddenly makes a lot more sense. I've had my Spidey Senses tingling about Mitch. He capitulated so completely to Trump, on everything, and he (reportedly) practically had a stroke over Obama wanting to call out Russia

The "smock" jokes today have killed me. Even Neal Katyal got in on the game.

They are chatting about hauling Cohen in front of Congress for questioning. The comment was made 'its not like he's going to disappear off the face of the earth' My retort to the tv was "kinda hard to disappear in prison"
Also if he does go to prison, do they bring him in to testify in the orange jumpsuit and shackles?
I feel zero sympathy for them as you can tell.

I don’t have my glasses on yet and glanced at the tv and CNN has someone on that, to my fuzzy eyes, looked an awful lot like Mueller and I started spazzing wondering what absurd level of shenanigans we had reached that Mueller would actually be on tv since it ran contrary to everything else he’s done.
Turns out it’s Stephen B something, a former federal prosecutor. Who looks nothing like Mueller aside from being an old white dude in a suit with a classic lawyer hair cut.

Looks like budget talks are going well. Yikes. Body language experts could have a field day with that photo.
