My name: is Paul Manafort...
...and I fuckin' love crimes. Don't believe me? Let my friends spell it out for you.
Where to begin with this one? Lots of stuff happening very quickly
-Trump chickens out on Government Shutdown 2.0 by declaring National Emergency. Goes golfing. Turns out a big chunk of the emergency wall money was spent already.
-Amy Klobuchar proves that Minnesota Nice is not universal (insert your joke about binders or eating with a comb here).
-Trump goes to Vietnam for Kim summit 2. Claims the nuclear threat is over, inadvertently forcing Pompeo to squirm over it on the Sunday Talk circuit.
-Marco Rubio sez: you too, Venezuela, can enjoy the peace and prosperity of Libya!
-Remember Ralph Northam? Me neither.
The 2020 hellcyclehas begun continues. Presidential primary stuff can be found here! We've otherwise got 11 state (and 2 territorial) gubernatorial elections to contest, every House seat, and all of the Class 2 seats plus Arizona's Class 3 seat in the Senate (in addition to a very large number of state legislative seats). All of the Democratic big names are officially in except for Beto and Biden, who's still bidin' his time.
-Warren kicking ass and scaring 1%ers, doing okay at getting away from the DNA debacle
-Harris kicking *more* ass, facing down the Copmala accusations with aplomb.
-Buttigieg's name is still unpronouncable but boy does he know his audience with his plans to push DC and PR statehood and abolish the electoral college.
-Bernie comes out with a commitment to be more of a team player, though accusations of sexual harassment in his old campaign dog him.
-Tulsi Gabbard is still a Liberal Icon(tm)
