I was going to say “'E got better” … but no, no he hasn’t.

How about a trial run on that whole impeachment process and just begin by going after Barr for starters? That’ll make my day.

MANCHSTER, N.H. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday threw his support behind his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who is considering a run for Senate in his home state of New Hampshire.

Trump praised Lewandowski as “a very outstanding guy” in an interview on the “New Hampshire Today” radio show before an evening rally in the state. Trump said he thought Lewandowski would be hard to beat if he decides to challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

“Well, first of all, I have to tell you that I think he would be fantastic. He’s got great energy. He’s terrific on television … He’s a really good guy,” Trump said in the interview. While he said he didn’t think Lewandowski had made up his mind yet, Trump said that, “If he ran, he would be a great senator” and “hard to beat.”

YOU offend them and they haven’t buried you.

The White House is considering invoking executive privilege to block Lewandowski’s testimony even though Lewandowski never worked for the Trump administration.

Does executive privilege now apply to anyone who has ever talked to Spanky, been screwed by Spanky, been threatened by Spanky, been sued by Spanky, or seen Spanky on tv?

That’s a strange, fallacious attack coming from someone who holds TPM “clickbait” in such low esteem because the pertinent facts are all that should be discussed - or maybe I’m reading too much into earlier displays of high dudgeon.

Good point.

Alas, the average American can’t make ridiculous excuses based on “executive privilege.”

Or “absolute immunity.”

Literally lawless. The SCOTUS and/or Congress needs to make explicit the rules surrounding executive privilege so that lower courts can immediately throw out these claims.

That has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read.

And I once read “Valley of the Dolls”!

The willingness and glee with which too many here are predisposed to eat our own is disgusting. The R’s didn’t seize the WH or the Senate by denigrating its leaders. Why the fuck do we?

Yes, because the first criterion I check off my list for legislative representative is “looks good on TV.” I can’t imagine what it’s like to be trapped in a mind so small.

I think it has a lot to do with being a guy. Somehow I don’t believe the gals go in for this:

I sense caution, not “I’ll-knock-your-head-off” pessimism.

There were a few posters who I saw (after I came back to the site) who actually shifted their outlook and how they phrased things (to a much more positive-yet-aggressively-critical stance).

I will not say who they are, but I am extremely proud of them

I hope that we can change the laws, so that upon conviction, we can execute the ball of grease we call Attorney General by public deep frying.
If we make it a PPV event, we could probably put a large dent in the national debt. Many, many more buys than Mayweather v. Pacquiao.
Boy, wouldn’t THAT make America great again!!! I’m sure that if you wanted to see it live, it would be SRO.

YES … all that and more …!!! If Spanky has ever had a dream where the individual in question was involved - then they will be covered because in the dream Spanky may have shared privileged information
…Oh - no questions regarding plausibility please this is a plausibility free zone…

Trump said that, “If he ran, he would be a great senator” and “hard to beat.”

… hard to beat ? … hummm … have heard that he has a brutal jab … and a real nasty left hook.

Executive Privilege can only delay, not stop, the subpoena. If Lewandowski is serious about a run for Senate, he’s better served getting it behind him sooner than later, during the heart of the campaign. But Trump and his ilk only think of today, and what they have to say and do to win the current news cycle.

You think that it’s just and accident and happenstance and bad luck that the Mueller report, the most explosive and damning political document to have surfaced since the Watergate tapes, faded into into the ether? No. It’s because Pelosi and Nadler decided that upsetting Republicans would be too risky, going into 2020. You may think that is a great strategy. I don’t.

We have just 235 Democrats in the Federal government on our side. Let’s treat them nicely even if they don’t get to feel the love.
