Are you implying that Trump is a gully dwarf? I feel offended on their behalf!
I meant Giuliani, but yeah it fits both pieces of shit.
About that diplomacy and deal making skill…
North Korea isn’t nearly as interested in denuclearization as Trump said they were. Rocket Man got his photo ops and selfies and now he’s telling Trump to go fuck himself.
There will be NO de-noo-kewlar-izations. As I said when it first was being Trumpeted as a Trumpiest of wins, the Orange Asshole gave everything away and got jack shit in return - exactly as Putin and Rocket Man wanted.
But it’s interesting to see a lying cheating conniving deal BREAKER get the shaft for once.
The best part of Kim’s cunting plan - now that Trump has called off the joint exercises, restarting them actaully does look like provocation.
Okay, I’m on vacation (poor WiFi). So who’s this latest teat-feeder blocking, Benghazi bashing, Obamadidit conservative nominee Kavanaugh?
He’s the one who is on the record saying the president cannot be indicted.
NPR just called him the second most conservative justice on the bench, after Clarence Thomas. Swell.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
The guy who worked for Ken Starr and was one of the lead authors of Starrs report said that? Huh. Wonder which was the lie - the comment or the work?
When people voted for Trump and a republican congress in 2016, they voted to turn back the clock - “states rights” is a thing now. And historically, states rights has existed in large part to allow local communities to interpret “liberty” and “civil rights” in their own unique way, often applying to whites exclusively.
In all of this talk over the composition of Trump’s supreme court, there’s understandable anxiety over the future of women’s reproductive rights, but there is more at stake. I’m not at all confident that a Trump-loaded Supreme Court would necessarily uphold the spirit of the 14th Amendment.
Oh and lookie here:
Huh. Lookie here:
"Source familiar tells NBC that Justice Kennedy had been in negotiations with the Trump team for months over Kennedy’s replacement. Once Kennedy received assurances that it would be Kavanaugh (his former law clerk) Kennedy felt comfortable retiring - @LACaldwellDC & @frankthorp "

I don’t know if that’s illegal, but goddamn that’s criminal.
Can someone point out why this is wrong?
-
Because outgoing justices do not get to pick (other than with their votes as a citizen) their successors.
-
Because backroom deals are not how we populate the highest court in the land.
-
Because it’s slimy.
Well, for one thing it shows that all the stories about Trump carefully considering and interviewing candidates was a sham, a lie meant to entertain the presumably-ignorant masses. It shows we can’t trust this administration to tell us the truth about anything.
That’s why it’s wrong ethically, but the question was why it’s wrong factually.
A clarification that I heard on NPR: he thinks the president can be indicted, but that fact is a bug, not a feature. He thinks it would be a very bad thing if it were to happen.
I don’t actually see that in the question.
… sayeth the principal author of the Starr report.
