The amount of fake pretty women (one like Jenny626, I used to do this with poker screen names lol) perfectly parroting right wing talking points about socialized medicine is pretty jarring. Apparently the real Peter Schiff chimed in from whatever tax Haven he's in too

Like yeah I'm sure 26 year old Veronica left the club at midnight to dunk on a lib

Dark irony to Maggie Haberman’s latest puff-piece about Ivanka and Jared is the doubling of nepotism in her own story. Her father has worked for NYTimes for over 4 decades. Her mother did Comms for both the Trumps & Kushners. Stunning the Times feels no need to make this clear.

well that explains a whole ****ing lot

am i the only one who didn't know this?

I didn't know that. I assumed the puff pieces were trades for leaking.

Didn't you see? Trump met with Kim Jong Un and Trump was like, way taller and was all alpha with his body language and ****. And the media said it was a BIG WIN for Trump.

Ipso facto North Korea solved MAGA you're welcome libs.

No he's always been like this. The man called a press conference to announce his divorce before ever talking to his wife about it, ffs. And, again, his hand-selected and promoted chief of police, the one he tried to get promoted to head DHS, was literally in the pocket of the mob--he went to jail!

Also, Trump is turning on the Koch brothers is a pretty good twist, but they didn't build up to it. Sim writers are getting lazy

It's a sad sign of the times, but I would love to see the Koch's order all the house reps they own to turn on Trump.

Trump hating the Koch brothers was a given. They're richer than him.

"The Trump administration is considering bypassing Congress to grant a $100 billion tax cut mainly to the wealthy"

seems legit

also, they're about to get another SC seat

also, everything else

none of them are turning on Drumpf until he's truly finished

The New York Review of Books @nybooks

Trump knew that Michael Flynn was under criminal investigation when he asked James Comey to “see your way clear to letting this go.” Murray Waas has seen the White House memo, which implicates the president in an obstruction of justice

Quote:

Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw

Trump lawyers lied to Mueller to avoid obstruction charges

Lawyers' letter to Mueller: "the White House’s understanding [was] that there
was no FBI investigation" of Flynn at the time

Internal WH memo "flatly contradicts this story" "explicitly states" senior aides informed DJT

Quote:

Plus:

The two senior aides—Priebus and McGahn—have admitted to Mueller "they had told Trump that Flynn was under investigation by the FBI before he met with Comey."

That flatly contradicts Trump lawyers' letter to Mueller.

he's prob dead to rights on many counts of obstruction at the very least, but the GOP obv won't gaf about that

Manafort's defense attorney laid out his side of the case, shifting much of the blame to the Ukrainian oligarchs Manafort worked for.

"This is the way that they required it to be done," his attorney said, explaining why oligarchs paid Manafort through secret foreign accounts.

"well they requested that i commit crimes, and i'm a gentleman, so..."

bold strategy, Cotton

I can relate to that. I never wanted to do coke, but that's how the mob guys paid--and at a pretty sweet discount.

How dumb is drumpf? Not that it matters, obv, because nothing does matter anymore. But, dude, can someone plot the sentiment of his tweets vs the mueller investigation news by date? The guy goes off on him every time word of him and his crew ****ing up comes out. He doesn't even wait a week. Very stable tho. Guy is just so dumb.

On another note, is there any piece of evidence more damning to meritocracy than his existence? Guy got to the top using nepotism and speed.

There’s no piece of evidence more damning to democracy than Trump’s nomination/election.

Ted Cruz is in real trouble.

1. The race is now a virtual tie.
2. Beto is outraising Cruz by a large margin.
3. Cruz has universal name recognition among Texas voters and is barely cracking 40%. That's an incumbent who is doomed.
4. Beto is gonna win cities by double digits.

would obv be pretty awesome if Cruz went down
