This is what a real presidential nominee and potential POTUS would do…
Be mindful of public health during a health crisis!

That’s how you make a decision after looking at the evidence.

As we saw, Trump’s version was to give a speech, not give a speech, move the speech to another state, don’t give the speech, speech is back on, speech is cancelled (with appropriate levels of whining and shit tweeting interspersed of course).

Since you mention it… Will also be interesting whether and how the convention gets hacked and interfered with…

This announcement made me realize one negligibly minor but still positive (probably the only positive) consequence of the pandemic: the White House will have to be thoroughly cleansed before Biden moves in.

Anyone who’s actually fixated on Bengazi would not be voting for Biden anyway. The base?..“it is what it is.”

“I can’t think of anyone that is more polarizing who would fire up the base than Susan Rice,” said former Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican who investigated the Obama administration as chairman of the House oversight committee. “They know her, and they don’t like her.”

Thankfully, the Trump campaign is famously incompetent, so who they judge to “fire up the base” is likely widely off-target.

If you’re listening to the analysis of Jason Chaffetz, you may want to rethink your strategy. Maybe Trey Gowdy can offer some insight.

I’m willing to bet most Trump supporters don’t even remember what country Benghazi is in anymore. Does Trump know?

And they’ve had months to work on it, as opposed to the chaos on the Republican side.

Like the “new” American embassy in Moscow, we might have to tear it down and build a replacement.

Sally Yates doing a good job of scaring the pubbies this morning too, Aarons vidclip thread is hilarious, if maddening.

This hearing is a vehicle for Lindsey Graham to do Trump’s bidding. Note Graham’s complete lack of curiosity in following up on Yates’s revelation that George Papadopoulos “was connected with Russian intelligence.” A total farce.

Cruz, Kennedy, Geezer Grassley also singled out for excellence in the promulgation of stupid.
