It’s not that people like Trump have no shame. It’s that their baseline of shame for being the monsters they are is so high they don’t even notice behavior that would make normies feel bad.
WashSun/HuffPost: "Trump is considering the possibility of issuing mass pardons for junior staffers in his administration, according to The Washington Sun. As Democrats reportedly weigh how to hold junior members of the Trump administration accountable in any future corruption probes, the president is now reportedly thinking about widening the scope of his preemptive pardons to protect people in charge of implementing his policies as well as the senior officials who engineered them."
I watched Contact again, a favorite of mine and it never ceases to piss me off how religion poisons. Their refusal to think outside of what they have been brainwashed with is madening.
the neo-Nazis kept right on recruiting. They still are.
We’ve had centuries-long (by now) problem with right wing terrorism in this country, because it’s been tolerated as useful for the rich. Until we crack down it will continue.
If Dems win a large enough majority, they'd damn well better weaponize the government. And by weaponize, I mean enforce any existing laws, prosecute everyone who fucked around to the fullest, and enact new laws so that we don't have to go through the same shit in another 2-8 years.
Did Ms. Slotkin draw the short straw and have to say the RIGHTEOUS TRUTH knowing that she would have to endure the indignant reaction which every conservative keeps razor sharp and ready to use?
I'm glad she said it! But if any DEM pipsqueak decides to create some space from her position they will be considered dead to me.
There's very little doubt of his crimes, getting him convicted is a whole nother story. I think he's hoping to stay in power till he dies so he never has to face any of this.
I hope I'm being overly cynical, but the record of the 2008 financial crisis - also largely a case of norms, that the financial markets didn't need regulation because they would efficiently and effectively govern themselves through market forces - doesn't seem promising to me in terms of congress pursuing genuine accountability and deterrence: Bernie Madoff goes to jail, aaaaand we're done.

Let's put people in jail for saying something true!
Wait, whut?
'And then the dismissal of Slotkin as a “lightweight, a stupid person.”'
You know that she's a white woman because he said, "stupid."
If she were Black, he would have said, "low IQ."

Welp, I made a spinach and shrooms omelette and that just whetted my appetite. Think I will do some cookin'.
Take it easy for all us sinners, Wonkers. Catch ya on down the trail.
Ta, Dok. I am doing my part by early voting in person today in NYC. When we vote, we WIN!!

It's good to be the king.
Janet Napolitano NEVER should've apologized.
The very worst thing White Democrats do so freaking often at critical points is CAVE.

Make sure he signs them individually, and doesn't use an autopen!
Huh. Didn't the Right lose its shit when Joe issued those preemptive pardons?
Hilarious
As expected...

“For serving their government” is code-speak for “I got mine; get yours, too.”

Malaria and the fucking moron will file suit for billions on this alone.

A former longtime Epstein assistant told the FBI that Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump, contradicting Zampolli’s account.
Good! Hope they saved it up on purpose. I can see how you wouldn't want stuff coming out in drips and drabs.
There's very little doubt of his crimes, getting him convicted is a whole nother story. I think he's hoping to stay in power till he dies so he never has to face any of this.
“Your proposal is acceptable.”
All of his hopes and dreams seem to be fading into the ether. Sucks to be that fucking guy.
The formatting on that is awful. Virtually every word capitalized.
Yeah, it’s like fifteen headlines in a row.
OMFG! CAPITALIZATION? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER?
That's your issue huh?
I was upset with the kerning.
*Really* severe serif on that header font.
I would be very interested in Jamie Raskin running for President.
I think he would be an excellent AG as well, or on the SCROTUS.
Speaker of the House
ABJ - Anyone But Jeffries.

I think Slotkin was too kind in her comments.
No matter how harshly you speak of the Trumpistas, the reality is always worse.
