There's an amazing tail risk here for republicans. They gerrymandered so many districts to similar "safe but not wasteful" R levels. If the blue wave gets big enough to put those in play, they will all be in play.

What’s amazing is how accurate the leaked reports from senior staffers have been basically the whole time.

McMaster is BACK

for now


they pretty clearly have no idea what they're doing, except the "yah fiyahd" guy is having fun out there

anyway, assuming McMaster is gone by Monday, a play in 3 acts...


act 1

act 2

act 3


so weird how he keeps firing ppl who go after Russia

"no puppet, no puppet" tho

got the headline he wanted from every worthless news organization tho, so wp

Imagine reading Laurence Tribe

it's difficult, because i have no idea who he is


that said, the 1st tweet is just reporting something that the administration supposedly announced ... is that incorrect?

the 2nd tweet is relaying something that Maddow said (which i saw reported elsewhere the other day) ... is it incorrect?

Were you under the impression that he was a journalist and not perhaps the most prominent constitutional law professor?

Laurence Tribe is a deranged hack.

Also, Maddow is awful.

ok, but those weren't really opinion tweets

are they factually incorrect?

IDK, I read recently that he was just a deranged hack.

Maddow: 1+1=2
ASPoker: lol maddow is a ****ing hack, you actually believe that?

Maddow is decidedly worse than pre-Trump

if so, i wonder why

lol @ calling tribe a hack while citing greenwald.

Imagine thinking Tribe is good and Greenwald is bad lol

Imagine reading ASPoker8

Imagine seeing anything good in Thayer's posting

who said anything about tribe being good?

thayer still a million times better than bluefox. defending him is one of those "tells"

doing lotta imagining after reading this thread

.

Lots of chatter about John Kelly being out today.

Keep in mind the so called adults in the room like Kelly and Cohn and Tillerson are themselves enormous pieces of ****. I don't have any appropriate words for how terrible the "B team" is. Nobody with a shred of intelligence or dignity, not to mention an instinct towards self preservation, is going to work for this POS.

The white house has no cap space and the farm system is depleted. Maybe they can trade draft picks to Russia for some prospects.

You might be being sarcastic but let me answer seriously.

Before Trump got elected, she was an aggressive, left leaning but generally fact based lie-buster who more or less didn’t spin things too badly. Super smart and I respected her passion.

Post-Trump she became solidly one-sided and became far less fair and to me rather deceptive and selective with her facts and presentation.

In short, she moved from clearly liberal but generally factual to being about 60% of Sean Hannity, decidedly more deceptive and a bit over the top with the Russia stuff, especially considering the infinite other viable things to talk about.

It works. Ratings wise she’s killing it. People love to be incited and feel angry. More balanced approaches simply don’t sell....neither side likes you then. But it’s dissppointint. Every time I see her misrepresent something, I remember how smart she is and know it’s intentional and I’m disappointed.

She’s still good, but she’s purely in the business of shaping the opinions of others now and she used to be much more in the business of myth-busting.
