It’ll definitely be totally okey dokey then when Joe Biden endorses Democratic candidates for the House and Senate “who can work with him” while inveighing against GOP candidates live on CNN from the Rose Garden.

Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates defended a sensitive Justice Department investigation into onetime Trump aide Michael Flynn on Wednesday, telling lawmakers Flynn was essentially “neutering” American sanctions and undercutting the Obama administration by “making nice” with a foreign adversary after Russia’s unprecedented attack on the 2016 election.

Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Yates said Flynn’s lies to the FBI were “absolutely material to a legitimate investigation” — contradicting the rationale the Justice Department has now offered in seeking to dismiss the case.

Thanks for starting the reporting with Pelosi saying that this was a big distraction. I was listening to Pelosi talking to Andrea Mitchell and she was there to talk about the negotiations and all Andrea wanted to talk about was this latest trump BS

“For the President of the United States to degrade, once again, the White House as he has done, over and over again, by saying he’s going to completely politicize it is something that should be rejected right out of hand,”

Trump dishonors the White House every time he sets foot inside it. He dishonors America and all Americans every time he speaks.

Well it does. But it doesn’t apply to the president and the president gets to decide the punishment on everyone else. I’m guessing his punishment is always another piece of chocolate cake.

Easy way to knock it down–25-30,000 protesters outside the White House.

Except he keeps doing ‘it’ anyway.

They’re going to put that phrase on your tombstone, Nancy. For all the good it did.

Because it’s about people, not things. So he can have all of his non-Fed folks do whatever the heck they want on the South Lawn and that’s not covered by the Hatch Act. Only when feds get involved can it become a problem.

Gonna be a lot more than that. The day after is the 57th anniversary of the MLK march, big rally planned for the 28th.

Not a coincidence that trump’s all of a sudden planning to be in town with his own big speech the night before.

We’ve all been punished excessively since Jan 20 2017. And I’d like to know the composition and provenance of that “chocolate” icing.
