They look like they’re trying to use a facist Ouija board.

She married into one, but had already been born into another. Your point stands, though.

Zinke? Excuse me one fucking minute, you sonofabitch (no insult meant to female dogs), what the FUCK do you mean by "not loyal to team Trump"?! As feds, aren't they supposed to be loyal TO THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION, and not some psychotic fool who thinks he's Emperor Trump I?

If *that's* how you think, YOU should have been courtmartialed for disloyalty.

I hope someone put a bug in Pruitt's sekrit chat cave that causes the lock to malfunction, keeping him locked in while simultaneously blasting out "Stairway to Heaven" and blocking all calls.

A liquor cabinet may be more helpful for at least the next 16 months.

Many states have public community colleges. North Carolina has an extensive network covering anything from any two year degree you can think of, to certifications, first two years of a four year degree, to general enrichment classes. It has gone up in price under the GOP for the last few years, but you can still attend full time for under $2,000 a semester including fees and books. There are 58 counties with campuses, some with multiple locations, and hundreds of thousands enroll every semester for at least one course. They have many evening classes and on line courses.

Related Topic: FEC nominee

Tsarina Tic Tacs has nominated one Trey Trainor, a thorn in the side of the Texas Ethics Commission, to the FEC. Trainor along with his buddy Joe Nixon regularly tell the TEC that they have absolutely no purpose and therefore should amend their rules so that the statutes they're supposed to enforce are unenforceable. the circular arguments are baffling in their transparency. and it would be like installing the lawyers for the Koch Brothers to the FEC--except for how it would be Mucus' lawyers and he's appointed himself the potty police.

please call your senators. I don't care who they are. we can't have someone on the FEC that thinks campaign regulations are pointless and Congress should be left alone to regulate itself.

Pruitt has also avoided using email whenever he can, preferring face-to-face meetings, probably because he’s just a really personable guy and not because he fears any permanent record of what he’s up to or which industry he’s fellating at any given time. This reminds me of Pauly in Goodfellas, never taking phone calls, always talking directly, almost in code, to minions, or using teen boys as message runners, whispering in the ears of the big guys.

He could shave a few bucks off the $25K cost if he didn't include the window and the door handle on the inside. Might be enough to make it airtight as well to make absolutely certain it is soundproof.
