there wouldn't be as many Dems banging the drum if this was the case imo.


Well, certain Dems wouldn't necessarily share their involvement with other Dems. And the DNC doesn't necessarily want to be caught saying, "Ixnay on the UtinPay."

Especially since Wikileaks would be glad to share it.

NYT reporting that Trump asked Comey to the dinner one week after the Inauguration and after it had been revealed Russia had meddled in the election. Trump repeatedly asked Comey whether Trump had Comey's loyalty but Comey promised only "honesty." Dinner was not so Comey could "keep his job," as Trump described it to Lester Holt. Comey believes his failure to promise loyalty was the beginning of the end for him.

Read the story and watch Holt's interview. Everything Trump said was dissembling.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein recently told her constituents at a San Francisco town hall event that she’s not ready to support a single-payer health care system -- an idea that has been gaining steam at the state level in California.

"If single-payer health care is going to mean complete takeover by the government of all health care,” the California Democrat said, “I am not there.”

A week later, Feinstein was even further from there, benefitting from a fundraising event at the Washington, D.C., office of Avenue Solutions, a lobbying firm that represents major health insurers, pharmaceutical companies and the primary trade association for doctors. The industries have historically opposed efforts to create a universal, government-run health care system -- an idea supported by 58 percent of U.S. adults. Feinstein supporters at the event were expected to kick in $1,000 to $5,000 for her re-election bid.

She, like the spencer, is supposed to be an every day Jane/Joe. If dems make fun of their ineptness and common looks, it shows the dems as elitists who hate every day Joes and Janes.

Also, she/he was the only one who would take the job.

yup. This generation of dem leaders are in bed with some of the same people as republicans. They just aren't evil abut it. I mean, Feinstein doesn't actually want anyone to die, unlike Ryan.

You have to wonder what power Trump has over people to make them self immolate to protect herr leader. Sessions may have cost himself his law license by being involved in Comey's firing after recusing himself, Nunes may have thrown his career out the window, and Rosenstein seems to conspired with Trump to fire Comey (the initial belief that Trump tricked him now appears to be false). I could go on.

Maybe Trump's a wizard or something. Really, why are so many people willing to take the fall for this clown? Is it to keep him in office so Ryan and the stooges in congress can finish their work? Is the truth so bad that it must be concealed at all costs? Were they threatened (lots of dead russians over the last few months)? Serious question, what power does he hold over them?

"single-payer health care" is a slogan, not a health coverage policy.

Oh jeez, did someone actually put mike huckabee's face on her? That's a crazy photoshop.

In any event, let's not comment on her looks. That's messed up.

why jeff sessions was/is/always will be the most dangerous cabinet member. easy to lose sight of the fact that he was basically a no power senator from a bygone era until he put on that fucking maga hat.

I just wanted to make sure everyone knows the look of the next purveyor of lies. She seems more committed to it then Spicer, so she may have won the job while Sean was fulfilling his obligation (for which I applaud him). That is a face at yesterdays berating session, er, press conference.

Interesting timing for Sean to be assigned to duty with Melissa McCarthy hosting SNL this week. Make you want to say hmmmm.
