  1. one more thing. i keep seeing people try to frame this situation in liberal/conservative terms, and that's a gross misrepresentation. this whole matter is a legal issue and is centered on traitorous behavior, not politics. edit: fix poorly stated comment
  2. claims that the old board was more even than this one is testament to how people are waking up. it isn't conspiracy; it's awareness and involvement.
  3. i assume you mean a difficult-birth ferret.
  4. i had that same impression. i wish she had said: Mike Pence is what happens when Anderson Cooper doesn't know he's gay.
  5. yeah, i wonder if they plan to show him that plaza dealie.
  6. look around you. 2018 is going to be famous forever. like in: where were you in 2018?
  7. oh, i think the jewelly one can see the obvious and a whole lot more. like his ass is grass and bob mueller landscaping is unloading the trailer. his problem, i'm guessing, is he made some assumptions about how the gop overthrow of the nation was going to go and made sure he was positioned to shine like a silver spoon in the new government. now those efforts to help the traitors have snared his miserable ass and there's nothing he can do to save himself. he may die in prison.
  8. trump is the guy resolutely painting himself into a corner while hollering for a new bucket and fresh brush.
  9. question all along is that broidy may be trying to cover for someone a little too hot to reveal. interesting that avenatti is hinting that, i gather. edit: someone a good deal hotter than hannity we might assume.
  10. oh, shit. they're not going to go by what i say, are they?
  11. there are some smart fuckers on one end of this arena.

    i never worked as a systems engineer. i designed parts and assys.

    that's particularly interesting what you say. i totally agree, of course, and offer myself as a counterexample in the service of core-robber rating evidence. the major part of my adult life, my career, if that's what it was, was in the pursuit of design. not as a direct employee, but as a contractor hired to do specific work. i had opportunities a couple times to leave the road and take work as a direct employee with the job title design engineer, but i liked being footloose. almost always the job description for the assignment i took was design engineer and the project was almost always a fixed wing aircraft of some sort. once i did a fair amount of design work on the tail section and cargo-ramp-and-door of the v-22 tilt rotor and later did some minor modification work on military helicopters. attempted once to break into automotive work doing mainly body parts and the instrument panels for a star-crossed trash truck project. but all the rest was aerospace vehicles from business jets to airliners and military planes to mod projects on the structure of the suits we use for spacewalking. i worked alongside degreed engineers doing the exact same things they were doing, but my degree was in english. (hey, can i help it if english and engineering have the same abbreviation? i ask you now.) okay, okay. i spelled it out: E N G L I S H, and it cost me jobs a number of times, i'm sure. but i hope to face my folks in the afterlife if there is one, and my dad would kick my ass from heaven to hell and back, or vice versa, if he caught me lying. just on the safe side i try hard to stay out of that. anyway, i say all this stuff to try to give the picture. the projects i worked on were some of the most major aircraft of the generation. top business jets and airliners and a plane that keeps our fleets safe from our president's closest allies. names like cessna and gulfstream. boeing and airbus. the old grumman company. sometimes structure work. sometimes flight control or environmental control (think air conditioning, wing de-icing, cabin air pressure, for starters). sometimes working alongside some of the best design people in the nation. some knew my degree was in english and i needed more help than most, but lots of people i worked with had no idea that i wasn't brought along the same or similar as them. truth was i had almost no hours in engineering of any sort. so why am i saying all this? because this is exactly the counterpoint to the truth you stated, hugo. as a group we are highly compartmentalized in education and experience. i was famously not. i've studied all kinds of subjects and done lots of different stuff. and for that reason, largely, i usually rose quickly in whatever new place i was working to doing some of the most difficult and challenging work they were doing. in general design, i mean. in fact, i normally set a mental counter when i went somewhere new. if in x-amount of time i hadn't been spotted and a process of tasking-in-accordance hadn't begun, i set my tack to exit the place. the very fact that i had never experienced the classroom conditioning and workplace mentoring that aerospace is famous for gave me one hell of an advantage in many situations. every job i had was a new world for me, and i had to quickly begin my assimilation all over again. coming in fresh and largely unseasoned meant every possible solution was fair game to me and i didn't have much in the way of assumptions. contractors have encapsulated wisdom in the form of sayings to pass to the new generations. one of my favorites of the sayings says, if it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid. i made a life of breaking molds, and it served me well. the educational and mentoring process was a harness that didn't fit me.
  14. you mean billie sol done failed us?
  15. not to change the subject or anything, but i can't find a better place to put this. so, congressional repubs strong-armed rosenstein to get the comey memos and spill them to forever turn the tide in their favor. i don't see the tide turning. let's do a little review, shall we? remember the nunes memo that was going to redefine everything? dot dot dot and now this gross misunderstanding of the true meaning and real effect of the comey memos. at what point do we realize that RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAIRYTALE UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. i mean it's true: RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAIRYTALE UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. they don't really have a grasp on reality. now, that's true when you look at politics and it's true when you look at the legal world and it's true when you look at economics. think back on reagan and his trickle down. did that bonehead really believe that was good for america or was he corrupt? given what we are seeing these days, i'm leaning toward the fool really thinking that was good. what reagan and his right-wing repubicans did to this country is still dragging us down, and now today RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE A FAIRYTALE UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY continue to apply the finishing touches of their warped vision to finish us off.
  16. i'll have you to know that i am a b-boomer, and . . . uh . . . yeah.
  17. my hope is when you get the urge to root you don't even know where i am. edit: the old site had/has a thread where people listed new names.
  18. this is actually a very useful list. cohen<trump<putin isn't going to list anyone who isn't in putin's back pocket. these are people who need to be considered in more ways than one.
  19. great sadness. she was a national treasure.
  20. i logged in just to second this motion.
  21. i have a feeling he knows that the senate is about to be presented with an avalanche of evidence showing criminal activity on the part of the senate majority leader.

    this needs to be said again.
  23. that would be among senators going along for the ride. those in the employ of putin won't have that option.
