    Based on the press that he got in the Washington Examiner, seems like this guy is the type that is looking to intimidate / instigate - he seems to be dying for some attention.  Just once it would be nice if one of these jackasses got the Philando Castile treatment instead of someone that wasn't specifically trying to start shit.

    Nothing to see here - he's obviously mentally ill and this has nothing to do with the words of the President or the constant bombardment by Tucker and Laura.  Fuck me.

    Referring to times the President has spoken out against athletes and others that kneel or protest during the National Anthem and when he suggested possible jail time or loss of citizenship for burning the American flag, Jasper said, "Curt takes that literally and views the president as the commander in chief and when he sees it happening, he feels he needs to do something about it."

    This needs to be shouted from the fucking rooftops.  How many Ds are going to go to the polls having not checked to make sure they are in the system because they always have been and then magically they won't be there?  oops, too late, you can't vote.

    This should be a centralized effort by the Dem state party offices, given everything we know about the way the Rs (and the Russians) operate.  Not only should they be encouraging everyone to check that they remain on the rolls, they should have a reporting mechanism so that they can keep tabs on who's getting removed.  I have a funny feeling there will be a lot more Rodriguezs getting bumped than Smiths, but I'm sure that will just be a coincidence.

    Thank them for showing me who is a racist piece of shit? This is a non-issue in every other political cycle. But when dealing with racists and racist supporters, they should be shunned!

    And I wouldn't be surprised if a group of D supporters takes the time to distill the donor lists down to summarize the biggest contributors in each state along with a tie to their business interests.  In fact, I think it's just a matter of time, and I'd welcome it.  Time for some of the transparency to be put to use.

    It's public information. Everybody needs to establish where they stand in this shit show. Fuck being polite. The other side isn't concerned about it. 

    This is just revealing names. Nobody is getting killed or anything.

    Agree with all of this.  I was aware of OpenSecrets.org and figured that it was there because the FEC database was difficult to use.  To my surprise, the FEC page is pretty darn user-friendly.  For example, it's really easy to get the list of Texas residents that have made a contribution $2000 or more (651 contributions in total) to Trump over the last couple of years:

    Texas residents donating $2000+ to Trump

    Of course, it's just a matter of time now before the Rs try to shut this down because the money might just start to dry up if Castro's approach starts to catch on.

    So your understanding of “winning” the game is impeaching criminal potus in the house and then watch senate not remove. 

    That isn't the game. 

    The game is removing criminal potus from office as fast as possible. 

    The fastest way to remove criminal potus is by him losing the 2020 election, removal by the electorate.

    Everything needs to be conducted and timed in a manner to maximize the potential that criminal potus loses the election.

    Understand the game

    I don't disagree with all of this, but there is a reasonable argument that part of the game is getting McConnell out of his position as Senate Majority Leader.  I'm not sure that it would work, but if you could put a handful of senators in 2020 battleground states in a position that they have to go on record as supporting the traitor in the White House, maybe the Dems could regain control of the Senate.  Ultimately, I suspect that McConnell would let some of the R senators vote to remove if it was critical for their election prospects since all he needs is 34 senators to block, but I think there could be some value for making a strong case for removal in the Senate and making the Rs own their treachery.

  7. Seems like Jordan got under Mueller's skin a bit there at the end.  Hopefully the Republicans keep this up all day, especially that part about the impeachable conduct that was raised at the beginning.  Maybe we can get one of those Carl Lee Hailey moments out of Mueller (although I'm not holding my breath)...

    It is fairly well documented that Fox News is propaganda for the GOP and trump.

    What are the solutions?

    Expanding the fairness doctoring to include cable news?

    Targeted boycotts against advertisers?

    Violence?

    Fox News was launched late in 1996. I would suggest that we were already on that path.  Media reflects (and reinforces) the market forces.

    We can thank Rush Limbaugh for creating the wedge in the early '90s, and Fox News took the ball and ran with it.  Couple that with Obama's election, and here we are.

    On a flight to LA and Vulvarine is sitting in seat directly in front of us. Any requests, outside of our 2 year old currently screaming and probably annoying the fuck out of him?

    See if you can swap seats with a 6 yr old and slip him a $20 to kick the shit out of Cruz's seat for the next 3 1/2 hours?

    What if Pelosi is jailed for committing a "crime"?

    FIFY.  We've already seen that a good portion of America is too fucking lazy to try to weed out the Fox News / GOP disinformation campaign from the avalanche of stories about actual corruption and other misconduct by the Trump administration.  I can totally see a good portion of America beyond the Trump base sit on the sidelines as Barr tries to go after Pelosi / Schumer / other enemies for "crimes."

    And does anyone else from the U.S. get to listen in on any of these discussions?  I'm assuming no - because reasons (other than Trump still being a traitor controlled by Putin, of course).

    Well, he did try to summarize and he did get headed off at the pass.  Look, I don't think anybody is going to accuse Mueller of being a savvy political animal, but within his world view, it seems pretty apparent he tried to do what was right every step of the way.  He just got outfoxed by his boss.  It happens.

    Fair enough, but if Mueller is allowed to testify, he needs to realize what needs to be done to undo the damage that Barr has caused.  Drop all the nuanced, conditional, overly reasoned statements and just drop some bombs that even the idiots will understand.
