So is that the Senate Rs trying to fuck with the Senate Prez candidates or is that reading too much into it? Seems just petty enough to be an R strategy.
Like Smokey said, could backfire, and could backfire spectacularly - we are talking about giving the Senate D’s who are running a platform and nationwide airtime to directly go after Trump and to drive home the need to replace him now through impeachment, or next November at the ballot box. Not good for Trump at all.
Not a lawyer, but if I had to guess, the intense schedule is to get this over with as quickly as possible. Side result, they might be able to bore most Americans and cause them to tune out. As well, this will give them plenty of time to put the screws to those folks who have been testifying. Expect donation and voting records, along with that of their spouses/whoever, of all witnesses to be put on public display.
They have (mostly) not attacked what those witnesses are saying, but instead attacking the process and he witnesses themselves.

Can we please get a thread with spoilers? That ending needs to be discussed.
Do we have to spoiler the part about him and his mate having twin daughters, and him taking one and his mate taking the other, and raising them separately, and then the daughters find out about each other and switch places?
that was so fucking Disney.

I believe that. Shep Smith was fired the next day. I just wonder if someone was smart enough in that monkey cage of Trumpers to plan one aspect of a longer game. Barr would probably be that guy. This is all useless speculation on my part, though. Like I said, I might be becoming way too conspiratorial, but I just don't trust any of these shitheads anymore and the law of averages cites that they'll eventually do something clever, even it's by accident.
While I definitely think there are people around Trump capable of planning a long game, including Barr, Shep Smith being forced out the next day makes me think that Barr was telling Murdoch that Trump was going to cut off complete access to FNC as far as White House personnel doing interviews for them, etc. Perhaps even told him that Trump would switch his complete support to OANN and tell his followers to follow suit.
Speculation on my part as well, but that timing was just too neat, and there was too much heat on Trump from FNC hosts, and Trump was getting pissy on twitter with Fox News. These were the tweets from the day before Shep was forced out (and he singles out Shep):

I have had very little time to look at it, but a bunch of movies have "Extras", that were from the DVDs/Blu-rays, and some of the newer stuff has extras that were not on the DVDs/Blu-rays. Very nice.
But it makes me wonder, since Disney stopped physical media sales of some properties (Simpsons supposedly), if they are doing the same here. Just ditch their whole concept of the "the vault" and physical sales, and keep everything tied to Disney+ (probably raising the price in a year or two).

Rupert Murdoch meeting Barr in private just feels like there's some kind of spectacle that will be delivered.
Occam's Razor: Barr mediating between Trump and Fox News leadership. That meeting happened as a bunch of Fox News folks were toning down their support, or even criticizing Trump, and Trump had began taking more public potshots at Fox News as a result. Hell, that was around the time that Tucker wrote that op-ed. And keep in mind that those Fox News hosts that had began criticizing Trump would not have done so without Rupert's permission.

Department of Homeland Security is right up her alley, and the upper echelons seem to have a revolving door going on lately.

Every time I see a bump to the Earl Campbell thread, I think something bad has happened to him, and every time this thread is bumped, I think Royal's been brought back to life.
Wait, no, that's not right.

Just dropping this afternoon that Mulvaney froze the previous round of javelin anti-tank missiles because he didn't want to upset Russia.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/12/politics/mick-mulvaney-subpoena-court-fight/index.html
QuoteActing White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney no longer plans to sue in federal court over his House subpoena in the impeachment probe.
Instead, his attorneys told a federal judge Tuesday morning he's planning to obey the White House and Justice Department's direction for him not to testify.
Mulvaney's move on Tuesday ends a maneuver in the courts that Mulvaney began Friday to reposition himself legally after he didn't show up for his subpoenaed testimony in the House.
On Friday, he tried to jump onto another former national security official's lawsuit, asking the court for guidance, which surprised and drew opposition from those around former national security adviser John Bolton, another major witness the House had sought to hear from.
The decision also highlights how Mulvaney's standing among Trump administration officials had been floundering, and how he could become one of the most significant targets of Democrats in the coming weeks after two witnesses told Congress they believe he was a key broker in Trump's political request from Ukraine.

Good news if your kids are in Round Rock ISD?
QuoteSchools in the Round Rock Independent School District will receive thousands of new medical kits Friday to help faculty and staff better respond to trauma in the classroom.
New “Stop the Bleed” kits will be distributed to over 5,000 classrooms in the district. Additionally, numerous RRISD staff members have participated in “Stop the Bleed” training. The district is set to begin an initiative to have all teachers take the training.
QuoteThe bleeding control stations must be stored in easily accessible areas of the campus and security planning protocols must also include their use. Students in grade seven and higher will also receive training every year on how to use a bleeding control station.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/12/business/remington-sandy-hook-supreme-court/index.html
QuoteThe Supreme Court won't stop a lawsuit brought by Sandy Hook victims' families against Remington Arms Co., the manufacturer of the semi-automatic rifle that was used in the 2012 mass shooting at an elementary school.
The Court decided not to take up an appeal by Remington. That marks a blow to the gun industry: Depending on the outcome of the case, it could open the door to gun violence victims' families suing gun manufacturers for damages.
Not sure what effect it will have, since Remington isn't responsible for letting the shooter buy/obtain the gun.

Big surprise.
QuoteA senior Trump administration official has embellished her résumé with misleading claims about her professional background — even creating a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it — raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the State Department.
An NBC News investigation found that Mina Chang, the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations, has inflated her educational achievements — like claiming, falsely, to be a Harvard grad — and exaggerated the scope of her nonprofit's work.
Whatever her qualifications, Chang had a key connection in the Trump administration. Brian Bulatao, a top figure in the State Department and longtime friend of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, attended a fundraiser for her nonprofit in Dallas and once donated $5,500 to her charity, according to a former colleague of Chang's.
Chang, who assumed her post in April, also invented a role on a U.N. panel, claimed she had addressed both the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and implied she had testified before Congress.
She was being considered for an even bigger government job, one with a budget of more than $1 billion, until Congress started asking questions about her résumé.
The gap between Chang's actual qualifications and her claims appears to be the latest example of lax vetting by the Trump administration, which has become known for its many job vacancies and appointments made without thorough screening.
"It does seem that this administration has not been doing the same depth of vetting as previous administrations," said James Pfiffner, a George Mason University professor and expert on the executive branch who once worked in the government's Office of Personnel Management, which does vetting.

I don't know if I see Haley accepting a VP role. First, you need Pence to agree to resign or step away from the 2020 ticket. While not his call on the 2020 ticket, but Trump would need Pence to walk away graciously. Spend more time with family type of statement/interview.
Second, Haley is tough and I don't see her willing to take a public role to spew the POTUS' crap every day.
2024 does seem like an opportune time for her to run for President, so she needs to get back into the game at some level. Unfortunately Trump doesn't like anyone standing alongside him that comes across as anything but as a sycophant. that's not Nikki.
She's playing a dicey game right now - on the one hand, you never know, Trump may think she can help him get re-elected. She may think she can parlay that into winning the big prize in 2024.
On the other, if Trump goes down hard as expected, and the GOP takes a serious hit across-the-board next year, anybody associated with/enabling him could be seen as toxic/tainted. She might end up pulling a Mondale.
She's still young enough to wait things out though.

One might think Bolton is trolling the fuck out of Trump, and looking to make an appearance in front of a House committee or two. No way Bolton makes those comments and thinks they won't make their way back to Trump.

Yeah, although I don't think you get a good sense of just how much content there is until you go into search. I'm not sure how they could improve that though.
Also, pain in the ass to get profiles setup, as everything kept timing out.

Fox News probably will. They know Trump will be watching the hearings, and no way they give up their most important audience member. They will probably have some talking heads giving a running commentary that appeals to Daddy Trump.
