Only if you possess enough braincells to see said hypocrisy. This is a critical prop of the Repub plank.

And defamation "laws" that allow those in power to imprison those who don't agree with them.

Donald J. Chump should be horse quip'd.

Because he's a horse's ass.

Thank you, Sen. Sessions, for confirming that the Congress will not wait til Feb. 1 to begin trying to override the will of the voters and force Clinton out or tie her up in endless bullshit.

If ever we needed a clear motive to carry the Senate, this is it. At least we can give her two years to get something done before the 2018 midterms.

So Mr. Pinochet, who would you be grabbing by the pussy and throwing in jail?

Turnip never had a strategy and has none now. He simply did what felt good, and what, not coincidentally, his keepers at Breitbart have been longing to do to Hillary Clinton for 2 decades. I don't think any of them expected it to work--they just had the opportunity to be dogs, and so they barked and pissed on the trees and shat on the sidewalk, like dogs do.

D'Souza is only a political prisoner in his own brain. To most of civilization he's just a garden variety crook.

Guy's a bit repetitive at the best of times, but what _does_ this weird 'I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m gonna say it, and I hate to say it...' construction even _mean_, anyway?

... It's almost like he's being controlled by tiny green aliens or something. And he's fighting, fighting, _fighting_ to stop them! But no! Can't... Stop... Saying... Stupid... Thing! Mind... Ray... Too... Powerful! I didn't think I'd say this! (Pulsing cheesy Star Trek sound effect intensifies...) No! Don't make me say it! (Pulse... pulse... pulse... PULSE...) I'm gonna say it, oh god help us, I'm gonna say it... (Pulsing shifts to higher register, blurs into a steady, ominous squeal...) I hate to say it! Help me! Help me...! Really, there's a sane guy trapped in here, not some reckless, destructive demagogue... It's just the ALIENS tapped directly into my brainstem, trying to use me as a hapless puppet to subvert this nation's government and turns us all into human foie gras, to serve on canapés at some alien soirée!.. Argggh! I'm going to SAY it...

(Sooo... I think I've cracked this one. Someone alert Alex Jones.)

His strategy is to build a base for Trump TV, which he will launch in time for Clinton's inauguration.

No special prosecutor needed. All we need is a more robust and liberal SCOTUS, and we will get that soon.

These people are dangerous, period.

Don't let that distress you too much.

1. A lot of those people are packed into a few benighted states--Texas, Alabama, Kansas, Utah. Terrible places, but not representative of the electorate at large.

2. A lot of people will vote Republican because that's what they do. It makes them naive, but not necessarily fascists. It's part of the extreme form of partisanship that has shaped national politics since at least Reagan if not earlier. There are no more blowout wins. 6 points is plenty. Thank the stars for the existence of the Electoral College.
