It is amazing how the most mediocre of journalistic outlets are suddenly becoming relevant. Last week I posted something from USA today that was actually serious and insightful, Chuck Tod who has to keep DC happy to keep his job has been making hay, hell even Teen Vogue (I think) is in on the game, and now Today bringing anything to the table. What a world.

That Teen Vogue piece from November/December about Trump gaslighting the country was excellent.

And totally agree with JUburton. Fuck Matt Lauer. If Joe Scarborough was more journalistic than you during the election, it's time to stop pretending that you're a serious journalist.

That being said, Kelly Anne looked like death warmed over this morning. I almost felt sorry for her.

Mr. Trump, you are very successful. Why do you think being successful is good for being president? Also who's a big boy? [pats Trump on head]

She overslept and missed her normal elevator up from her condo on a special level of hell that surfaces in 1717 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 1025. Then she had to catch the shuttle at Regan to get to the show. Hell, she will be close enough to home that she is going to have to deal with her family later today. That all lead to her makeup regime left her looking more full Skeletor then you are used to. Its tough being KAC.

All that nastiness aside, is was only a matter of hours since she put the full faith of POTUS behind Flynn until he was essentially forced to resign. That undercuts her. Clearly it mashes her enough that Matt F'ing Lauer runs her over like a pro.

That is two forced resignations under two presidents if you are keeping score. That is a record that is likely never is broken.

Stephen Miller has always been like this

Miller has said that he became a conservative after reading the 1994 book Guns, Crime, and Freedom by Wayne LaPierre, president of the National Rifle Association.

Fox News take is there should be an investigation and possible prosecution -- about who leaked the Flynn conversation.

But there are still obstacles to Petraeus’ appointment. In spring 2015, the general pleaded guilty to giving classified information to his biographer, Paula Broadwell, with whom he was having an extramarital affair.

he'd fit right in at the Mar-A-Lago security council

that's like Chaffetz saying he was looking into the head of the Office of Government Ethics and not Trump because the OGE scolded Trump about conflicts of interest.

it says that yeah she fucked up not campaigning in WI and MI, but that it doesn't matter because she would have also needed PA or FL or another big swing state where she DID campaign. that seems like a pretty big fuck up to me. clearly she campaigned heavily in PA and FL but were they in the right places?

the HRC campaign's job was to prevent a trump presidency. there were lots of other factors (comey, russia, her own baggage) but ultimately they should have been able to beat donald fucking trump

Let's not forget in all of this that a 3 star general, former head of the DIA seemingly did not think that a russian ambassador's phone would be monitored by intelligence agencies and his claims easily disproven.

fwiw, Trump has been and is friends with mobsters and criminals. He's hosted some of them at Mar-a-lago as recently as this past New Year's Eve.

all i got is that the results tracked college degree demographics(i only skipped around) and that campaigning and money wasn't really a factor. Basically, if you only got your news from facebook you probably voted Trump.

Nate generally holds the view that money on a national level is not very impactful.
