Hello Wonks and welcome to another Sunday recap. Let's begin with Rudy "9/11" Giuliani, appearing onThis Week with George Stephanopoulosto defend a letter sent out by the legal team trying a REMIX of an old defense: "If the President does it, it means it is not illegal." If this sounds familiar, it's because it is the most infamous quote from the very long (four 90 minute interviews!) Frost/Nixon interviews in 1977 (three years after he resigned due to Watergate). Here is a clip from the movie
Well, he was encouraging the victims to stand up for their rights. Textbook definition of getting uppity. The deplorables couldn't just stay silent while he eroded the status quo.
According to Rick, the 'role Obama played' in all this was showing up, becoming President and being black. Ooops...his bad, I guess. If only he'd have lost (twice), we would not be facing the challenge of fending off racist, Christo-fascist freaks like Santorum.
damn i forgot how good frost / nixon was. i noticed frank langella pronounced the 'not' in 'not illegal' in a very shakespearean / standard british way. as frank langella is an exquisite actor, i assume this was true to nixon. is that how he talked?
Well, in that case, You’re Welcome! Not to get personal but growing up with a single mom you took your good father figures/role models were you could get them. Christopher Reeve’s Superman was MY dad for quite a few years growing up. I still have a commemorative dog tag from his foundation after he passed.
Aww. My Dad was an angry blond German dude, so I‘ve never been attracted to pale guys. Superman was tall, dark, handsome and soft-spoken most of the time. So ridiculously good-hearted dark-haired men became my type. My boyfriend and baby-daddy has dark hair, is an Occupational Therapist and works in a very gruelling industry in the hopes of making other people’s lives better. I think he’s reached the end of his rope with this career (as it’s quite normal for people to “serve” for a time then bow out) but he’s done such good work. He’s an amazing father and the kindest, gentlest man I know. Thank You. mr. Reeve, for getting my head right so young!
Quite frankly, the average Breitbart numskull probably couldn't run a mile in a week. Give them about three days without their cholesterol meds and lack of access to a deep fat fryer and they'd lose interest. Old entitled white people are NOT going to make good revolutionaries.
It really doesn't depend. No one sane is going to give the mob that power. The mob will not be restricted to whoever they are supposed to go after. The mob turns on everyone and everything. That is what it does.
Servile bootlickers the current GOP may be, but they will lose all their power letting something like that off the leash. They know it too.

No no I mean the total opposite. He is my composure kryptonite, I’ve had a huge crush on him since I was 3. He’s DREAMY!

Done! Now THAT is the ‘Art of The Deal’! 😆
The return of the “Bluedog” Democrats.
it's one of those situations. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
Hence why I get to every Sunday! Too bad they won’t let me on them. I’d have a field day verbally smacking Santorum in person.

Anytime Kellyanne Conway speaks, I remember this clip. It keeps what she says in perspective: https://youtu.be/srUza70FIic
