Not just McDonald's! There's also Wendy's and Burger King there.

Someone's job was to arrange that all on silver platters. At this point, we're in an alternate universe, right?

And light the candles in the fancy candelabra

A couple of heat lamps would have been better

Are we assuming it's McDonald's because of 45's fear of being poisoned?

I'm assuming that, even if I'm alone on that bench.

They put the nugget sauces in gravy boats in the single serve containers

Wine and solidarity. My formerly somewhat moderate father supports the wall and a declaration of state of emergency for the funds for it.

My dad apparently supports immigration but only if it is done legally. Which somehow doesn't seem to include those seeking asylum.

I plan on sending birthday greetings from the Obamas to my family. Knowing them, they will immediately assume they are being wiretapped by Obama.

Not president anymore but still able to wiretap random private citizens? Yup, sounds about right!

Keep us posted on birthday wishes 😉

I’m going to be that person - imagine if Obama served fast food to basically anyone. Imagine the insanity on Fox News and the ticker at the bottom.

He did and they lost their minds

It was pizza for a super bowl party.

Hi hello hi my mother supports the wall I should have known but it was said out loud today SOMEONE SEND ME WINE THAT HAS NO CALORIES.

Come drink with me, in my home where my own parents waffle about "both sides," and my MIL also supports the wall and Donald Trump and "well you hear different than I hear" because she's Fox News-addled and also thinks THE FUCKING 700 CLUB is the next best place to find the "real" news.

I mean, all my wine has calories but I cry them out.

I’ve given up. Maybe I’ll cut down on wine in 2020.

Oh and ‘he paid for it himself’.
I mean it’s easy for billionaire ordering off the dollar menus right?

I am just so "fuck all y'all" about the GOP Congress and Steve King.

They waited until he was elected (closely) and the seat is safe for 2 more years so they have plenty of time to plan for another GOP candidate. And the only reason they're doing it is because it had an impact on the last election.

Steve King is who we all thought he was. He hasn't changed.

Exactly. He has been an overt loud and proud racist forever and now suddenly they care? Gtfo

Is anyone interested in a thread for the confirmation hearings?

NEAT.

"The fall of NATO is Putin’s #1 goal. Just discussing US withdrawal from NATO is a massive victory for Russia “Trump Discussed Pulling U.S. From NATO, Aides Say Amid New Concerns Over Russia” via @nytimes t.co/efASF96Oto "

Apparently Mueller's team requested a sit down with Trump recently and his lawyers shut it down

Re the fast food: If the WH staff can't make food because of the shutdown, fucking have the event catered. Jesus Christ

Gillette is asking "Is this really the best a man can get?"

They have put out a bunch of ads fighting toxic masculinity and are donating a million dollars a year to for the next 3 years to organizations likes boys and girls club to fight bullying etc.

From the company:

"We can't hide from it. Its been going on far too long. We cant laugh it off, making the same old excuses." Then, in a direct reference to the #metoo movement, it says "Something has finally changed." It closes with scenes of men breaking up fights, standing up for people, and being attentive fathers.

And of course "bros" and other ridiculous detracts has stuff to say even going as so far as to Boycott Gillette.

This tweet asked why:

Fantastic ad and more of this is needed.

Also...seeing "men" boycott Gillette are proving the point of the ad. Way to NOT be the best man you can be, guys. t.co/Q4XPqt2NLw

And finally they add this which I think is perfect.

"The ad is not about toxic masculinity. It is about men taking more action every day to set the best example for the next generation," said Bhalla. "This was intended to simply say that the enemy for all of us is inaction."

yep!

I'll try to help liveblog.

Also It is bothering me to the 'enth degree that we have to go through more confirmation hearings for his picks to these organization who are by far the WORST picks for all these positions. Once again the head of the EPA that is being nominated is a hard lobbyist of the fossil fuel sectors. JUST like the Last one who was a CEO of a fossil fuel company.

WHY IS THAT NOT DISQUALIFYING?!??!??!

You can't expect a person who ran a fossil fuel empire to think of the environment as anything other than a cash cow.

And what will happen, AGAIN is, they will get accepted by the GOP vote; go into power; remove all regulation; get the kickback they need to retire for the rest of their and their families life time; and either get fired, leave from disgrace, or because they have had enough of the media circus that is their tenure, and the process will start all over again.

Is this where we are at now America? Slowing Making America Worse Again by approving one Hamburgler at a time?

And yes to your thread post dc2london. Especially EPA. Going to try an listen to it today.

[dc2london]

Chuck is forcing a floor vote on the Deripaska sanctions, House Democrats are going to publicly rebuke Steve King, and there's a Brexit vote this afternoon. Charge your phones, kids. Busy news day.

Yes, we’re fully blue.

I’m hoping the women’s reproductive rights bill finally passes. It’s been blocked for a while now.

SOTS is today at 2p. I’m trying to figure out how to stream it from my desk.

I’m looking out my window and seeing all the news trucks and police showing up

Mueller asked for another 60 days before Gates' sentencing.
I really think the people saying he's almost done are high.
