    Bold prediction: If we invade Nigeria and Venezuela, the government shutdown continues through Christmas, the economy tanks worse than 2008, ICE goes crazy with tear gas in 20 more cities, they tear down West Wing of the White House, and the Epstein files get released and show that Trump repeatedly fucked underage girls, I could see his approval rating dipping into the high 20s. 

    So we’re also making the playoffs?

    Here’s something to chew on:
    She’d be twice as competent and 10x more humane and decent than the current DOTUS. I mean, it’s not even close, she’d be a vast improvement.

    As general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, I’d be twice as competent and 10x more humane and decent than Jerry Jones. I mean, it’s not even close, and I’d be a vast improvement.

    Barrett wants him to admit some facts that are self evident, but against his position, and rather than admit those facts and discuss why they aren’t important to the correct interpretation in the case, he ducks and evades and has the same question asked multiple times.  

    Should she be surprised at this?  It's the defining characteristic of the current President and everyone he has chosen for significant positions in his administration.  Deny, ignore, or evade actual facts.  Why change stripes because you happen to be in the U.S. Supreme Court instead of a Fox News interview?

    But somehow remembering the time when he was the most evil man in America seems almost quiant now. Corruption and vileness are so far past what he represented that...it's hard to keep hating him.

    Shit, I'm starting to look back on Watergate and think to myself, "Why did the American people get so bent out of shape about that?"

    I will give Dick Cheney credit for this one, singular thing: after leaving office he demonstrated more personal integrity than any living male member of the Bush family.
     

    As catastrophic as the consequences of his actions have been, his was not the final say. That belonged to President Bush, who despite leading the world into calamity has enjoyed a reputational rehabilitation he does not deserve. While Bush, his brother and his nephew remained silent on the existential threat to the Republic represented by Trump and Trumpism, Cheney and his daughter rang the alarm bells. I’ll give him at least that much credit. 

    Fair.  Fuck him, still.  But fair.

    We will never stop litigating.  Ever.
