"...it's rolling on the floor in a pile of your own excrement and pretending it's a high-end beauty treatment"

I just need to know how I should credit you as I work this into every conversation I have about this administration and Russiapublican fuckery for the next half century.

Loose unmatching dentures sink ships Rude E, you sloven non-Slovenian.

Yes, Ugliani is the gift that keeps giving but POTUS Putin's Toy backs him and what does that say about either one of them really. Its like they just realized, hey-we've got all this power, what kind of fucked up shit can we do with it?

There was a way for them to pull this off but there were like a thousand ways for them to mess it up. The odds were never good for success.

Yes, but the Times wanted to smear Hillary so they printed it anyway.

What rich person ever thought they had enough money?

Sure, the tax cuts, and the conservative judges. But not the obviously loony appointments to the bench and especially the executive branch. And not the openly pro-dictator foreign policy and belligerence towards our long-time allies.

Like there really is more than a dimes difference between the two parties, the various wings of the GOP can differ sharply from one and other. But they all share a fear of Fearless Leader.

President Goodbrain's poor work is plenty evil enough.

I grew up in Delaware. The A.I. Dupont "Nemours" children's hospital apparently had its start as the family clinic. They married cousins to keep the money and control of the firm in the family.

The masonry wall around it, with glass shards embedded in the top, is quite a visual.

Against Bernie the actual socialist, yes. Warren, no. She's well within the FDR New Deal paradigm.

We're all quite sure your sincere interest in global corporate governance sprang up right after The Donald discovered his concern in the topic as well.

So I wonder, do you have more evidence than assorted prosecutors and journalists, who have all had a good hard incredulous laugh about the fantasies now on offer from FSB-linked Ukrainians?

Or are you just real and simple?

I'm a perfect corporate director. I know little about a lot.

But I still tremble and get chills every time I think, "What if some bastard with Trump's utter lack of ethics or empathy or standards comes along in future, and has some actual cunning, a mind a little deeper than a mud puddle, and some political savvy?"If this hypothetical person started out with the White House, the Senate, and the House of Reps in the bag, there'd probably be no stopping him. Trump has put a lot of right-wing fundamentalist unqualified judges on U.S. benches already.Here and now, I fervently hope, like Liz, that Giuliani keeps up the good work.
