This has to be the most disgusting, xenophobic, racist article I have seen this year. Blind political ideology, used to generate pure hate, with the intent to incite war and genocide.

Shame.

Yeah - that's supposed to happen today. I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering whether or not the press briefing had just ...vanished into the ether

I'm going to guess it came out of whatever happened in that .... "meeting" that's a black hole without a Congressional subpoena of that interpreter

I can't imagine it. The best Pence the Fence could come up with was a contraction and a double negative - and he needed Pompeo's help to get that to happen ... and I wouldn't want Pompeo's help to do anything, myself, honestly.

he'll just have ICE start beating the shit out of those toddlers at the border and they'll cheer him on again ,

It's his MO, every time he is outed as an idiot or put in a spot like that where he is weak and people laugh at him, he does something to hurt a marginalized group (see transgender ban)

But Trump bragged she had the body of a 10-year old

I think I just offended myself, when's drink'o'clock here on the right coast?

I just read on CNN.com that the Russian military is ready for Trump to begin to honor the military agreements that were made during the two-hour KGB handler-asset meeting!?!? The interpreter must be debriefed. I don’t have the word to express my outrage and concern. How can the GOP not DO anything to hold this corrupt traitor accountable!

I agree with both points. Faux News is one of the worst things that has happened to this country in the past thirty years (right behind the Goldwater reinvention of the Republican party). I teach rhetoric at the college level, so I wholeheartedly believed that democratic republics must have an educated populace to function properly. Yet, the 2016 election shattered my idealism in the power of education to I prove the citizenry. Lack of critical thinking and reasoning plus Faux News plus celebrity worship plus fallacy that government is a business plus sexism equals Trump as president. UGH

Thanks, $5F. This shit is piling up so thick and fast I'd forgotten the Browder fuckery. Btw, if anyone wants a great read, I recommend The Man Without a Face by Masha Gessen. Putin fucking hates her, because she tells the truth, about him, about Russia, about money, about everything.
