Wonky Privacy discussions. I guess they want numbers, but I think it is pretty clear the parameters.

Yes, and he replied that they are adequately staffed and resourced at present.

They have a fraction of the resources used on Benghazi. What shitshow out democracy has become.

I bet you could set Trump on the front lawn and play movies off of a sheet, because he sure is a projector!

tells lester holt that he (trump) was going to fire comey regardless of the recommendation or not.

Attacking Comey is just beyond stupid. If he doesn't already, he'll have the entire intelligence community after him.

That NBC clip is BANANAS

Trump just said in the same breath the following:
1. He interfered with or possibly influenced a federal investigation
2. He wasn't actually part of his own presidential campaign
3. Everything in their official Comey explanation was a lie

Why does his staff let him near microphones. Tackle him or something, Jesus

[this is obviously satire as Trump couldn't complete a coherent sentence even if you recorded every word he said for a year. It's also unfunny, but it's quite literally where we are as a nation at this point]

Trump: "I will drop an atomic bomb on Michigan due to its large Muslim population. I mean that very literally. I, as the President of the US, intend to drop an atomic bomb on the Muslim population of Michigan."

Spicer: "He didn't mean that. It was taken out of context. You were the ones who said 'atomic bomb' and he's just using your own terms."

Sessions: "He's the president. He can drop an atomic bomb where he wants, when he wants. There's nothing to suggest that he's going to drop the bomb for a religious/racial/ethnic reason."

Grassley: "Exactly how many emails were sent from Hillary Clinton's server?"

Cruz: "Yea, I guess my father was involved in the JFK assassination."

true story: A guy was passing thru last week and stopped at the local watering hole. Was worried that he may get us in a nuclear war with N. Korea, but voted for him because he proposed in lowering his self-employment taxes 15%. (he's a sports massage guy and claims to have rubbed the backs of both Ivanka and Don Jr. while they were at Penn, also).
