What's did the wapo get their story about sessions? More dangerous treasonous leaks?

Look, television news, especially the 24 hour channels is a cesspool of morons with good hair who mostly make stuff up and call it commentary. If everyone stops watching, the nation will be better off.

Mike Lee on FOX News...he has 'full confidence' he didn't try to willfully mislead anyone.
Says he trusts Sessions to know when he should recuse himself.

Lmao

People won't stop, which is why it's good to see what they're spewing.

It's always good to see how they spin this shit, so I watch a few minutes a week. Only cable show I truly watch when news isnt breaking is rachel maddow.

They probably have Peter Schweizer of Clinton Cash fame who I think is actually fairly capable, but it's amazing to think millions of people are only informed by a bunch of politically motivated pundits digesting stories and giving their politically motivated spin on it. Ideally Dems need a candidate that can go on those shows, not get caught up in the Bully Ball they try to play with "hostile" guests, and speak to that part of America.

I disagree. I don't think smart engaged people get their news from those channels, and those who do are a lost cause. Unless you can mock them like john Stewart used to. Even pbs news is shitty with smarmy David brooks.

A smart, if devious, thing they do is they never allow an unedited democratic viewpoint to be carried. They didn't show Schumer and they're not showing Pelosi unedited but will paraphrase for their viewers. Their viewers won't see the argument laid out by the Democrat but will see what the Democrats REALLY MEAN laid out by a host or a guest.

Geez, someone good needs to challenge Pelosi next Congress. She's losing a step or two and is really bad on camera now.

Rob Portman calls for recusal

take it to the smutty thoughts of surviving brothers thread

c'mon, ANY idiot could make that mistake

Sessions sure is a little fella

Paul Ryan is talking about bills Trump signed; probably reminding himself before he caves yet again.

Ryan going thru some heavy gymnastics on the Sessions question

Apparently every congressperson's calendar is fairly clogged with meetings with foreign ambassadors from all sorts of countries, it's amazing they have time to pass bills repealing ACA with all those ambassador meetings they are always having every day

Ryan going full Steve King-style stonewall on this Sessions thing for some reason

The issue is the lying.

Technically, I was talking about my brother talking about my wife.

That thread ended, though.
