    It's telling that the two missing are Carter and Trump.

    Carter may not travel much since he looks like he's made of porcelain now that he's 200 years old.

    I don't believe anyone is suggesting Hannity's entanglements with Cohen are illegal.  They could be embarrassing and/or a violation of his gig at Fox, however.  

    and/or ethics but let's pretend the right actually has some when a Democrat is not in power.  I said pretend, we know they don't have any or they wouldn't be cow towing to the current President.  Conflict of interest apparently only applies to the Left.

    The Russians didn't help trump win. It is was all Hillary's fault. I didn't want to vote for trump, but damn Hillary is the devil.  

    Yep, she's the devil without any proof.  Meanwhile Satan is sitting there fucking over the middle class, grabbing pussy while supporting pedos, swinging deals for his brand and his bros with government backing along with Russian approved diplomacy, and a bunch of dipshits somewhere with f'ed up logic based on party over country sold out our elections.  The ultra f'ed up part is thinking Liberals lost.  Here's a clue, Liberals aren't poor.

    People just need to keep fucking each other until we’re all the same color.

     

    The kids are--it's the olds that can't.  Have said this before and here it is again in a nutshell.  My recently deceased neighbor told us she wasn't a bigot but she didn't believe in interracial dating.  Well, that kind of is the definition of racism.  She was always going on about how her grandchildren were dating black kids.  Whether she wanted it or not, her grand kids didn't care. Same with my family unfortunately.  My dad was a bit of a bigot when I was young and I finally told him to stf up when I was 9.  I would have given anything to see their faces when my brother started dating black girls and knocked up a latina while I was away at UT.  Made me laugh like hell.  Later I went to grad school in Richmond, VA.  Really experienced it first hand there--had bosses that used the N word and saw it with cops.  The children don't care though unless the parents are wealthy enough to literally segregate them.

    Sean is full Republican and knows his audience will buy anything.  He'll throw a couple of God and Jesus hail marys to reel his base back in should they begin to question anything and then the Hillary's emails card for the win.

    Visited some in-laws in Houston a couple of months ago and they had the Hannity show on. He was doing a monolog(ranting) on the “deep state” and the “double” standard involved with HRC scandal and etc.

    A couple months later we visit them again. I walk in and they had the Hannity show on. He was doing a monolog(ranting) on the “deep state” and the “double” standard involved with HRC scandal and etc.

    It was a legit déjà vu moment. I honestly don’t know how anyone can watch the repetitive bullshit that Fox and CNN churns out day after day.

    You're too young--they have to repeat it for the olds who can't remember anything past a day.

    It was fairly easy for the average left-leaning voter to pick Hillary.  She's not stupid, she has experience, and the alternative was worse than usual.  (I remember how awful I thought Mitt Romney was.  Oh, how times change.)

    But y'all are spot on when you point out that her message was empty.  She simply had nothing to bring other than "well, I'm not Trump".  And frankly, that should have been enough.  It's a good lesson on the dangers of voter apathy.

    agree with this.  Grabbing em by the pussy should have been pretty easy call to make but Comey certainly didn't help:

    Great--I'll have to link some actual speeches she gave around the country when I get out of class tonight.  All political ads are attack ads these days--they're about a minute apiece.  And yet she still won the popular vote.  Whatever, I'm glad she lost.  It was the best thing for her and the country.  People were asleep at the wheel and needed to see what a corrupt party is capable of.  Also, she would've been a lame duck president under the current Congress and that's without all of the continuing Benghazi investigations.

    We haven't lost hardly any of the people who execute policy either even though Trump would like to make big cuts.  It isn't like the EPA has had wholesale layoffs.  And it isn't like Pruitt, or McCarthy before him, are the ones who show up when a company dumps lead in your river.  The only difference now is that agents are being paid to twiddle their thumbs.  In 2020, I'm sure they'll remember how to put the hammer down.

    And just because Zinke wants to sell off National Parks to the highest bidder, that doesn't mean that the park rangers who are still employed by the NPS suddenly dropped their ideals too.

    The parks were already undermanned and now they're underfunded as well.  That's not buying replacements for those retiring or officials that left.  The top positions in a lot of places such as the Census, EPA and others lost their top officials.  That certainly doesn't help an organization.  And funding definitely has been cut for these departments as well as any technology going forward.  How are they supposed to study something that you can not define by a specific term?  Websites were scrubbed of studies for global warming or anything related.  That's a hindrance to the Navy that has filed for actions on rising sea levels, NASA, and whatever other scientific research is offered.  Hey, let's get back to coal isn't helping the solar industry.

    With the Clinton machine no longer in the way, I could see someone like Gillibrand winning the Dem nom in 2020 on a platform that includes some social democratic features (jobs guarantee being one).  Who knows if that ever turns into policy though.  

    Really, the Clinton machine that rolled over when Obama took the presidency for 8 years while she only got older.  Had Biden run, he very well could've won the nomination.

    How much effort did Hillary’s team expend on emphasizing collective bargaining, increasing minimum wage, etc., vs stressing that Donald the dotard wasn’t a “normal” Republican?  That campaign was engineered to target suburban whites that found Trump and his more explicit racism/xenophobia too icky. 

    She did all of that--she'd stump for an hour on policies and the only part that got televised was the portion about Trump.

    I agree with that, but what it's come to is, instead of pulling things back in the right  direction - which to me is back to the left - the Democrats have conceded the terms of the debate and are just fighting for the status quo.  You may disagree, but I suspect that that's partly because they are content with the status quo.  I mean, isn't that a big reason that Hillary lost, because she thought that support from minorities along with economically well off liberals (i.e. people happy with the status quo) was enough to win? 

    You've already f'd it up--Hillary lost because she didn't get support from minorities.  She didn't get support from a lot of places and even still got more votes in the election.  Didn't help that Russians were playing Bernie and Hillary supporters off each other.  I don't know how many times I read supposed Bernie supporters saying there was no difference between Trump and Hillary, therefore they weren't going to vote.  Republicans are going to vote Republican regardless of whether it's a Russian in Republican clothing or a Putin supporter.  That's a fact.  Just ask Mitch McConnell.

    Prior to joining Trump, Cohen was doing commercial real estate deals in NYC and beat Trump out of a few properties.  Trump felt embarrassed because someone with much less capital than him, scooped up properties he was eyeing.  He was getting paid as if he was a consultant but was classified as legal council so Trump wouldn't look bad.  That's why his legal practice had so few clients.  Trump was paying him to help on commercial real estate deals and save himself from potential embarrassment. 

     

    Heard that this was why Cohen was already being investigated separately--shady Russian real estate deals.

    I agree with all of this.  At minimum, Mueller knows definitely whether or not Cohen was in Europe during this time frame.  But I don't think we can read much into not having that info publicly yet.  If he took a commercial flight, we'd need a leak from customs, but then again customs could also leak that he didn't take a commercial flight, so no leak doesn't say anything either way.  And if he took a private flight or Russian submarine, confirmation would be even harder to come by.

    had it benefited the current president or staff, it would've leaked long ago from customs because they would have Nunesed it out.

    looks like he did that with markers.  Oh well, Sean's swimming to the pucker or urchin at the bottom.

    I'm of the mind that we're going to have to get a whole lot more creative in naming this thing since it will likely surpass any political scandal we've seen in our lifetimes or, potentially, that of the Republic. But if we're going to stick with the "gate" theme, I'm inclined to go with Floodgate.

    I dunno, there's a whole lot of Russiagate in there as well.

    Sean Hannity, Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, Roy Cohn, Julian Assange, Roger Stone:

    Peas in a fucking pod. I can't listen to any of them without wanting to take a shower. 

    I honestly think Roy Cohn might be the best of the bunch.

    Nope, he's the glass that held that douche cocktail together.  Trump stirred it and then served it to his followers that drank and drank and couldn't get enough douche.  Now, we've all been shown the ingredients and are laughing like hell because we didn't want to touch it.

    Hey, it would be great if we were serious about Syria; had the best interests of the population in our plans, coordinated with partners and had a good plan to execute.  I am highly skeptical that any of that happened. This is theater until proven otherwise. If it knocks out their ability to lob gas shells, that's great. I'm not optimistic that was the goal or is an achievable one by airstrikes. 

     

    well now, it DID get some coordination

    Our allies have to be skeptical too.  Overcommit and they will find themselves hanging in the breeze while Trump does what he does with his people around him--allow them to take the punishment.
