I wonder what Trump’s prison nickname will be?
“Constitutional Crisis in Slow Motion”
I don’t mind giving Charles Blow credit, even though you read it here first, folks, a year ago.
He won and then found out he doesn’t have to change one thing about himself. In fact, he can amplify and increase his blustering, lying, flip-flopping, posturing, sleeping late, golfing, and insulting everyone from women who love to have their pussies grabbed, to his closest advisors, to other cocky world leaders. He can probably even shoot someone–although he apparently hasn’t done that. Yet. He never even has to read anything–he has people to do that for him–or take anyone’s advice. If someone bugs him or makes him feel stupid, he can just fire them. So far, anyway. The Presidency of the United States–who knew it was the job he really always wanted, a dream job for a demagogue at heart.
The one thing he has to watch out for is something he exemplifies but doesn’t know the name of: hubris.
“Orange Crush”?
Hope so. I want America’s political world broken open so that every scurrying cockroach gets brought into the light.
Nice one!
A reporter wrote a story about personnel at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS demanded he change something in the story. He said no, but that he would note that they said it was incorrect. They said if he doesn’t do it, he won’t be allowed on press calls. A few days later, he was kicked off of press calls.
I can’t claim this has never happened before, but I’ve never seen it before.
Super Bowl anti-terrorism documents left on plane.
Only the best people, mind you.
As I’ve written elsewhere, I’m going to propose that we build our own Azkaban Prison for these people. I’d previously set a different location, but I’ve come to a better one.
Menagerie Island, off Isle Royale in Lake Superior. I think it’s the perfect name and a great place for it. Just think, a high security facility named The Menagerie. 
NO ONE is swimming to shore from there. Oh sure, they could swim over to Isle Royal, but it is both a national park and a wilderness area, and they’d be many miles from the visitor areas. And there are wolves. 
Right smack in the middle of North America. No good reason for any foreign ships to be in the area (oh, some do pass the area, but there’s a light house there too and an “If you can see the light house, you’re in a restricted area” would be easy). A Coast Guard base in Grand Marais nearby and an Air National Guard base with F-16’s in Duluth, should either be needed.
An amazing piece from the folk at Lawfare this morning. Reporting on the FBI internal reaction to the Comey firing.
I came in to post this and found that you had already been here. This is truly excellent journalism, folks.
Now we need the rest of the media needs to start, and not stop, asking Mrs. Sanders about what she said last year regarding the FBI and Director Comey. She lied to the American public; I want her held accountable.
Hey, what’s the problem? TSA doesn’t allow terrorists onto planes, do they?
They allow only the best terrorists, the very fine people terrorists.
I’m sure some of them are fine people.
Holy shit! What kind of sick fuck would let the CDC run out of money? God, I hate this…
The New Black.
The kind of sick fuck who’s been happy to pander to antivaxers.
I choose to believe you’re using some form of PEDs to get to that level of achievement.
Failing to applaud the Orange Cretin is “treasonous.”
I’m really busy right now, and need both hands, Donny. But I can spare you a finger.
You know who else declared it treasonous not to applaud and salute his speeches?
Kim Jong Un?
