  1. What's astonishing is that, according to Wikipedia, this assclown actually got an BS and MS in mechanical engineering from MIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Massie If accurate, just goes to show once again that book smarts does not equal common sense ...
  2. That is an astute prognostication. The only question is whether he shoots for the most ubiquitous bills or his vanity will require him to put himself on new $1,000 or higher denomination bills. Oh, who am I kidding - he'll just put himself on all of them.
  3. I have a dream that one day one of these episodes will end like this ...
  4. Dude, paying all of your taxes is for chumps. Do you really want a chump on the Fed?
  5. The CrowdPAC for Collins' opponont is still open and approaching $4m. They should definitely use this to renew enthusiasm against her. I may make a contribution in light of her need to constantly posture and not do a damn thing. https://www.crowdpac.com/campaigns/387413/fund-susan-collins-future-opponent
  6. Interesting theory. I've been wrestling with Rosenstein's role in the preparation of the Barr summary. I had come around to the conclusion over the last two years that Rosenstein was committed to protecting the Mueller investigation, but had a hard time squaring that with his participation in the preparation of (or at least implied concurrence with) what seems pretty clearly to be a summary with a political agenda. Any support for the claim that Rosenstein had a role in shutting down Mueller, or is it just intuition?
  7. I was pretty sure that this was an Onion piece ...
  8. Fair enough. My fear is that some folks beyond the fringe will start believing it because, "By gosh, they were going on and on about the Mueller investigation, and then Mueller completely exonerated him." The longer the Barr letter hangs out there without the full Mueller report being made available, the more folks may just tune out legitimate news media altogether.
  9. And you know we're going to be barraged by Trump and his cronies with "the Fake News is the enemy of the American People" at least every week from here for the next decade because they, for some odd reason, thought that he was acting like a foreign agent. He's going to take advantage of the Barr summary to do his damnedest to destroy the 4th estate forever.
  10. So how many of the sealed indictments in DC are from the SCO? And when do they get unsealed? I'm also curious about the mystery company subpoena. The SCO is still pursuing that but is somehow in a position to release the report anyway. Does that mean that they have sufficient info to indict or release a conclusion about whoever was tangled up in that mess, and they're just pursuing info from the foreign govt. to put an extra nail in that person's coffin?
  11. According to that, only half of the people identifying as Republicans or as Republican-leaning independents "report watching Fox News a few times a month or more." I call bullshit.
  12. Someone really needs to work Devin's high school pic into that gif ...
  13. Yeah, unfortunately, in this timeline, I'm not sure there's just a whole lot that can be said about Nunes that a reasonable person might not interpret as factual. Nunes in a human centipede? I mean, maybe - the most problematic part is probably Trump having physical access to Putin's shit ...
  14. Nice ... you think that the Feds would let him serve some time in Rikers before they shut it down?
  15. Hopefully Mueller is offended by the absurdity of this and decides to drag him back into court for other crimes. Or, even better, refers something to a state AG so that Manafort can spend some time in non-country club prison.
  16. Don't worry - he'll replace the art with his personal collection:
  17. I think we could make a pretty good dent in the national debt if we let people pay to punch Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Sean Hannity in the face.
  18. So much fake news being introduced into the Congressional record by Team R. I'm so confused ...
  19. Oh, Chip Roy is flying the fiscal conservative banner and ranting about the national debt. Fuck you and your soapbox, Chip.
