The unpresident has too much Luhhhhhve to veto it His corpulent bod is bursting with luhhhhve. His nipples are exploding with delight. He is overcome by the redolence of luhhhve…

And meanwhile, Adam Schiff, unburdened by luhhhhve:

Now this is a very interesting point. How does the white house know that these are the same materials that were shown to the chairman if the white house wasn’t aware what the chairman was being shown? And the second point was also made to me, this is, I think, was also underscored by Sean spicer and that is that it was told me by the deputy assistant the materials were produced during the ordinary course of business. The question for the white house and Mr. Spicer is the ordinary course of whose business? Because if these were produced either for or by the white house, then why all of the subterfuge?

Will 45 save Americans’ privacy when his own account data would write a best seller? Sigh. We’re boned.

”Private data from our laptops, iPads, and even our cellphones would be fair game for internet companies to sell.”

…to the Russian mafia.

"OK, listen up. Who do we have on staff that can explain to Donnie what this bill will do? Anyone? Anyone at all?

Marge please get that IT guy that we purged on the line…"

Adam Schiff, on the mark once again; thanks for the link. (It’s almost good enough to make me forgive you for triggering my gag reflex with that first sentence…)

If Schumer thinks for a moment Trump would veto a bill that would let an Obama policy stand, then as a New Yorker he might want to know somebody is trying to sell a bridge close to every New Yorker’s heart.

If the Democrats want to get attention this law is the ticket. Everybody I talk to about it is shocked that Congress would green light ISPs selling their browsing history. A lot of people, right, left and in the middle find this an attack on their freedom to use the internet.

This should be the stuff of national ads and town hall protests. Nobody outside the ISP boardrooms like this turkey. This is an opportunity for an easy win for Democrats who want to change the makeup of the house and senate.

It always kills me when people say there’s no difference between the parties. Not only on the issue itself but the tactic used. If republicans thought an issue would hurt democrats they’d just let a democrat president sign it, wouldn’t matter what they believed. Democrats on the other hand urge Trump to veto it because it’s just bad for the people
