"Oh.. Oh yeah?! Well these goddang women were overvoting for liberal policies anyway! You could hear them at night, gathering naked in the woods voting for Satan and his filthy Democrat hordes."
Hey we just lost the House
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
Isn't he still acting head of CFBP too? Dude has a lot on his plate. Lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The movie is gonna be like The Parent Trap, but with Tiffany and a Russian hooker that looks just like her for some reason.
Fuck, must have not been posted here or it was posted by someone I ignore or I missed it.
Trump's definition of "acting" in this case means as long as he wants or until Mick pisses him off.
Jim Acosta @Acosta
WH official trying to clean up Mulvaney selection to WH pool: "There's no time limit. He's the acting chief of staff, which means he's the chief of staff. He got picked because the president liked him."
Tara Palmeri @tarapalmeri
I'm told this is truly temporary and the President will continue interviewing candidates. Looking for someone outside of the administration

Gotta say this week has completely eliminated whatever lingering anxiety I had about Trump finding a way to shut down the Mueller investigation. Even if he were to somehow miraculously stop it dead in its tracks, there are, what, another 4 investigations going at him? Before we even get to House investigations starting in January?
I was listening to NPR about an interview about the ratings board chairwomaneaving next year and an interesting she mentioned is that different regions of the USA cares about different stuff when it comes to censorship. The coasts for instance cares about violence. The south cares about blasphemy the most. The Midwest was nudity. It's very conceivable to me that had the news come out that Trump had actual affairs instead of just saying grabbing things by thier pussy, that the Midwest and rustbelt, which he won by very thin margins would have been lost to him in 2016.
Amazing how much Republicans care about the poor accused and the strongarm tactics of law enforcement when it's one of their own getting grilled
Mr. Kellyanne Conway I think just loves being a drama queen but he probably means the things he says - so does his wife, but being the Mouth of Sauron and a professional bullshitter is paying her so well that she's willing to forsake her convictions and probably loves arguing with Chris Cuomo for 30 minutes on primetime every week or so and the attention it gives her.
I was thinking a palette-swapped enemy but honestly since he's not under investigation at this time I wasn't thinking of him as an enemy yet.
The satire article posted the other day called Manafort an Ultros, but I dunno. Something I need (or don't need) to think more about.
I always had Bannon pinned for Ultros. Mulvaney is more a Biggs or Wedge, so I'm on board with the original comparison.
Welcome to today's Douche-Off, and boy have we got a good one for you folks...
Biggs and Wedge are in multiple games doing multiple jobs. Makes a lot of sense.
They're pretty much a perfect representation of the entire WH staff this administration, now that I think about it...
He hates Trump so much that he's willing to go against the love of his life....
The House could literally hire Mueller to lead a separate investigation if Trump ever fires him. Nothing stops this train.
Thats the thing that frustrates me. I love her and was all for Kamala after the '16 election as my top choice. A huge chunk of the reason I switched and jumped on the Beto bandwagon as the one I think best positioned to win is due to watching a number of her rallies for candidates in 2018 and seeing just how stiff and awkward she was on the stump. Made me really really nervous. It's a a very tough weakness to overcome and win national elections with.
She is great in interviews and in senate hearings but seems just really stiff when trying to give a speech at a rally. She needs to just let loose or else it will doom her chances. She clearly has the skills, its just she goes stiff and seems like a completely different person if stuck in front of a large crowd.
I get it though, I would be a fucking mess if I was having to give a speech to try and hype up a crowd.
here we go
edit: guess I shouldn't be surprised that he went along with the crazypants legal argument that nullifying the mandate makes the whole damn thing unconstitutional. inseverable my ass.

The mandate will be moot in a few weeks.
But the rest of this decision will be stayed.
Of course this asshole released this opinion just as open enrollment ends. Disgusting.
This was pretty obvious and he's a fucking awful judge. This legal argument is literal insanity.

Yeah, she is fantastic in more intimate settings and discussions like this.Her issue is when she tries to do the traditionally rally thing of trying to rev up a crowd, she does not seem comfortable in that setting. I think her best way to deal with that is to try to stop doing the traditional dem rally speech and just do something more comfortable to her. One big thing is she needs to hire WAY better speech writers. The speeches she gave at rallies in 2018 didnt really benefit her skills and were cookie cutter dem talking points.
What could Trump even offer Pelosi that she (and other Democrats) would accept in order to fund the border wall? His resignation?
I wonder how much flesh Roberts will require from the ACA to save it this time?
We can look forward to legal shit storms like this for the majority of our lives. Expanding the courts will need to be a part of the platform going forward.
The Era of Drowning Government is over. It's well past time Civil Society struck back
