Russian oligarch, Putin ally, and Trump friend makes a thinly-veiled threat against SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg:
АРТЕМ КЛЮШИН @ARTEM_KLYUSHIN
Пришла пора выводить Рут Гинзбург из состава судей Верховного суда. Гинзбург, звезда либеральной юриспруденции, находится в Верховном суде уже 25 лет. Пора ей отдохнуть @realDonaldTrump

I hope not. She's in no position to be doing something like that, and it would look terrible for the rest of her career if she gave anyone part of her infinite momentum who then didn't win the presidency. Does her opinion matter? Of course. But kingmakers have to earn reputations first. She'd be giving an endorsement as a social media figure and not a politician, in other words. Basically a liberal version of a Trump endorsement.
The presidential primary is one of those times where it'd be best for her to just keep her head down for awhile and let the party sort it out. The last thing anyone here should want her to turn in to is someone who shoves her face into every nook and cranny to offer endless takes. They won't always be good.
I think he's trying to buy steel from Russia for the wall to pay money to his handler'sHonestly I don't even think the money is for a wall anymore I think he's trying to pay down some old loans because wtf
very low and then dig another 6 feetHow likely is that white house knew the NYT was going to drop the biggest bomb in 2 years, and Shutdown is a strategy to distract from it?
100% unlikely.How likely is that white house knew the NYT was going to drop the biggest bomb in 2 years, and Shutdown is a strategy to distract from it?

We will have the clown car in 2020. Brace yourselves!Is tulsi for real? What a waste of money. Now the primary will be full of other losers.
They can't tie their shoelaces. They certainly can't orchestrate a distraction.How likely is that white house knew the NYT was going to drop the biggest bomb in 2 years, and Shutdown is a strategy to distract from it?
She leads with love, as long as you are straight.
I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that. No one needs a horrible tragedy even if it means the shitfuck foregoes his stupid wall demand. I am certain the airports will take stock and start closing down terminals. The airline industry/lobbyists will start hounding the white house, if not already.All it's going to take is the ATCs walking off the job or an airline crash and Trump is done.

Don't even mention it.All it's going to take is the ATCs walking off the job or an airline crash and Trump is done.
If we were stunned by this report (and we were), they were completely flabbergasted. All his moves to stop the FBI or DOJ from functioning in this area haven't worked.How likely is that white house knew the NYT was going to drop the biggest bomb in 2 years, and Shutdown is a strategy to distract from it?
I think, or at least hope, that the absence of Trump's massive persona will create both a schism within the party between those that approve of his ideas and those who are ready to move on and also will leave many of his supporters without a similar attractive option to him. Haley and Walker have the combined personality of watching an orange spray tan drying.The GOP can pivot to Haley and Walker as a "return to decency", and Cruz can at least guarantee them Texas.
But didn't Rudy recently said that the Mueller report is going to be horrific? It seems they sort of know how deep the rabbit hole is.If we were stunned by this report (and we were), they were completely flabbergasted.

It's a business techniqueHe keeps doing this "COME BACK AND MAKE A DEAL AT THE TABLE!" routine. What deal? I asked this before but literally all the GOP offers is "give us everything we demand and then the government will be opened". That's extortion, or a hostage situation, not a deal.
Not really, just a strategy to later justify a National Emergency. This can't go on for much longer
It's just PR. He knows he can't make a deal. So when the lawmakers go back to their districts for a break or on weekends, he uses that opportunity to make it look like he's serious and hard-working whereas the Democrats are not serious.He keeps doing this "COME BACK AND MAKE A DEAL AT THE TABLE!" routine.

Been thinking. Mattis resigned and planned to stay on until February. Cohen is testifying publicly before a democratic congress in February. Reporting saying final report from SC in March, with things wrapping off in February.
I see a pattern of events playing out in February. It's gonna be lit.

Meanwhile, did you sign the back pay bill yet? It should be at your desk.
