Thanksgiving “out of office” speaking of which…nothing in the ‘Editor’s Blog’ here at TPM today yet.

That is not a good look, congressman.

Josh was told he had to work until at least 2:30. No one’s mother-in-law arrives at the airport 5 hours early. WTF, Josh? WE BUILT THE TURNIP TRUCK!!

Buzzfeed and Conyers’ own office confirmed the details of the settlement. It’s true that Conyers could have settled a false allegation simply for the sake of making it go away, but given additional statements from former staffers…unlikely.

It’s only natural that Cernovich’s name is drawing suspicion, but he’s not the only one lending his name to this story.

Not totally related to this but twitter is abuzz about Congressman Joe Barton of Texas. Seems he sent some shall we say revealing pictures of himself to some woman. Looks like that seat is now going to be up for grabs in 2018. Could not happen to a nicer guy.

Frankly there’s been way too much grabbing going on; hence, the situation we now find ourselves in. It’s time for a new metaphor…

They could be made up. But they aren’t.

I want to know how Cervonich got the information. Is it an accurate document or has it been altered? He pushed Pizzagate & colluded with Trump. How did he get it?

I only ask bc Roger Stone tweeted the day before the female came out about Al Franken at the USO. He said Al would Soon be in the Barrel. The next morning he was, but I’m not sure Al should be.

They’re right wing hit jobs it appears. If that’s fine with you, ok. They have other targets—all Dems!

Two things; yes, the investigation will go forward (unlike Trump and Moore) and secondly, it’s far too convenient that these accusations against Conyers and Al Franken arose from right-wing sources. Let’s wait and see, shall we? And then start investigating Republicans, too. Turnabout is fair play.

After seeing the complaint filed against Conyers in a DC court (not connected to Cernovich) I think he has to go. The question is which Dem is gonna step up and say it publicly.

Maybe so, but it’s not right to assume that every charge is based on reality.
We’re in witch hunt territory now—not about Conyers specifically, where I don’t know the facts, but in general—and I don’t like it. There is a rush to judgment about every charge, and every charge is met with calls for firing.
