Speaking of Years and Years being our soon to be reality: This plays to his base of followers that include people like my brother who think we should just “nuke the Islamic countries off the map”. They looooove that type of verbiage. It’s very back-patting of him to suggest he could unilaterally decide to just go wipe out a country but he’s soooo gracious that he won’t 🙄

That's awesome. I read the comments to f their police chief and he genuinely seemed upset by this behavior so I'm really glad to see he meant what he said that the behavior would be reviewed and punished accordingly. I'm surprised but pleased.

Also I started watching Years and Years and WHY DID I DO THAT Gut wrenching. Wait until episode 4. The whole series thus far is so well done but so so so scary. We are seriously not that far off. I think if you had made a show about events between 2013 and 2018 people would think it was far fetched fearmongering. And yet.

GOOD. I know you already said that, but I felt it should be seconded.

Have we discussed the Jane Mayer New Yorker article about Al Franken? I'm just getting into it right now, I'm reserving judgement until I've read the whole thing. I have a high opinion of Jane Mayer so I don't want to think she's taking the angle I'm afraid she is. www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/29/the-case-of-al-franken

The whole thing is very "woe is me" and I really can't care. The article argues that his behavior was not criminal, it was mostly when he was a comedian and not a senator, and public opinion on it amplified emotions so much that his own caucus turned against him eventually and forced him to resign without waiting for the independent investigation. It's definitely unfair to Gillibrand, even though she doesn't come into it a whole lot and not until the very end. But it seems calculated to remind people like my brother in law how much they hate her for what she did to poor Al. Give me several breaks.

Oh ok cool so now Mayer is carrying water for people like my sister who really don't like Trump but are "just so mad about what those progressives did to Al Franken. " NEAT.

Al Franken really needs to shut up. I don't give a flying fuck if the gross behavior happened before he was a Senator. He still did the gross things. Bye bye, Al.

It’s like people saying What if Clinton is a pedophile Well lock his ass up too. I’m tired of the right thinking they have a gotcha if the perp is a Democratic. No I don’t gaf what their political affiliations are.

No I don’t gaf what their political affiliations are. It's because they assume we are as morally bankrupt as them. Anybody who says that ultimately is admitting that the party of the person matters to them, and they think it does to you too.

Yeah. I mean it's not really a surprise at this point. But it really makes it likely that a no deal Brexit will happen.

Wray is using his opening remarks to talk about gun violence killing law enforcement officers. And yet, at his last oversight hearing he demured when asked to support universal background checks.
