Continuous slow rolling quakes I hear are more damaging.

I agree with @coimmigrant - we need the Mueller report before the midterms. Yes, we’re in good shape to pick up seats, maybe enough seats to take back the majority in the House, maybe even the majority in the Senate, but neither of these is a certainty.

What is clear is that the congressional 'pubs aren’t going to do squat with whatever case Mueller makes even if he has Tramp dead to rights. The public seeing the inaction of the 'pubs coupled with their excuse-making may help us get even more people to the polls to vote.

Breaking at Wapo: Trump will be interviewed by Mueller.

jtx · January 23, 2018, 11:32pm

I hope, for the good of the country, there will not be a pardon for this President.

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:37pm

Isn’t that the truth? And to think that those assholes had the audacity to chant “Lock Her Up!” and continue to do so when this administration was the most foreseeably corrupt one in history. Lock Him Up! Lock them ALL Up! Justice will be done – mark my words.

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:37pm

Yeah, @antisachetdethe’s got to plan his flights very carefully.

Fox, 24/7: Actually, obstruction of justice is awesome!

@justruss The quiet weeks are when these things actually happy; it’s just that we only find out about them during the cacophony.

Bob Woodward: The story is dry. All we’ve got are pieces. We can’t seem to figure out what the puzzle is supposed to look like. John Mitchell resigns as the head of CREEP, and says that he wants to spend more time with his family. I mean, it sounds like bullshit, we don’t exactly believe that…

Deep Throat: No, heh, but it’s touching. Forget the myths the media’s created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We’ve got Mueller.

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:39pm

Yeah, well, Comrade Nunes went to Trump University School of Law, so there’s that.

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:42pm

I would love the Special Counsel to put the fear of God into the congressional 'pubs.

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:42pm

Holy cow!!!

Whatever happens, it can never offend me as much as Arpaio’s pardon.

Intentional contempt of court as a head of law enforcement isn’t just breaking the law – it’s as foundational as possible an attack on the very concept of the rule of law itself.

justruss · January 23, 2018, 11:43pm

Yep

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:43pm

Absolutely fucking right!!!

justruss · January 23, 2018, 11:44pm

By the way, is anyone else losing icons\symbols again? Things were good and then today, problems.

chelsea530 · January 23, 2018, 11:44pm

Sweet.

Someone on the teevee earlier opined that Trump’s lawyers weren’t the best.

There’s a reason for that.

Loved your pic with your pussy hat!

katscherger · January 23, 2018, 11:49pm

Thanks. @tena and @krux call me a bad ass, but I’m your typical middle-aged post-menopausal woman who’s mad as hell at this administration and doesn’t have a filter on her mouth anymore.

chelsea530 · January 23, 2018, 11:49pm

Working for me right now.

They weren’t earlier.

coimmigrant · January 23, 2018, 11:51pm

True, but the tectonic plate movement @justruss mentioned can in fact make mountains out of molehills.

jtx · January 23, 2018, 11:52pm

I am not sure I should comment; I had to look up Dunning & Kruger."
