You could fill a book, and I think someone might already have, with Chico’s remarks, esp. those involving T. Bankhead

From my understanding of polling results, the key is married white women. If these women can be turned progressive, they can change the trajectory of the country.

“What were the damages? I won the election.”
He answered his own question. His winning the election was the damage–but not to him–to the rest of the world.

This is major winning, courtesy of Bob Woodward’s book. John Kelly:
“He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.”

Ay, Joe Stalin here. I came out on top. Where’s the damage?

They (Kelly, Mattis, et al.) are all vigorously, and predictably denying they said what they said. My bet is that Woodward has the receipts.

As is his wont, Donald Trump has put his subordinates in an impossible position. I don’t remember the exact wording, but my takeaway of Mattis’s statement was “I would NEVER say that out loud”, which lol ain’t exactly a ringing vote of confidence.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Kavanaugh is so offended by someone directly harmed by gun violence that he has to have the father of a Patkland victim removed from the room. The man approached him with a hand outstretched for a handshake and he responded as if the father was threatening and offending him. Imagine how the students at Parkland and all the other mass shooting sites felt when they were being shot - they didn’t have security there to usher the shooter out of the venue. This interaction does not bode well for Kavanaugh’s approach on the bench to victims of corporate crimes or government malfeasance.

Kavanaugh is a great guy, a wonderful, lovely man…to people like him.

I think it’s most illustrative of the fact that Kavanaugh considers himself to be a political appointee, and a representative only of the subset of the population which supports him.
I’m not disgusted by his response as a person, per se (this is uncomfortable, shit, run! is a very human response), but it is conduct unbecoming a judge.

This is the least shocking news story I have read in some time. What’s next? ‘Five-year-old wants sibling to share their cookie; does not want to share his own cookie.’

Trump, you have the brain of a four year old boy, and I’ll bet he was glad to be rid of it. h/t Groucho.

I can remember the grief I felt on election night. It’s as vivid and painful today as it was then. Cried for days.

I didn’t cry for days, but I had a lot of trouble sleeping – I was filled with dread. Then, I did what I always do – I said: “Fuck this shit” --and I started doing what ever I could to support and work for progressive campaigns. I may go down – but I go down swinging.

As it turns out, being elected has done a lot of damage to Trump and his family too. The extent of that damage is not yet known, but it will be substantial. Good. They all should share in our misery.
