Not a big deal nor surprising but anyways

Joe Scarborough announced on the taping of Colbert's show that he is leaving the Republican Party

both parties are the same:

“This is the first time that there’s been an acknowledgment — an open acknowledgment — that there’s another side, another part of this equation — and the other part of this equation is the people who are accused,” said Andrew Miltenberg, an attorney who represents students who say they were wrongfully accused of sexual assault. Per Miltenberg, the Education Department has reached out to groups including SAVE: Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, one of the most vocal critics of the current guidance, Families Advocating for Campus Equality and the National Coalition for Men, a group that, according to its website, is “dedicated to the removal of harmful gender-based stereotypes, especially as they impact boys, men, their families and those who love them.”

geez finally someone is standing up for the real victims here

remember how drumpf frequently allowed as to how "it could be the Russians....it could be a 400-pound guy sitting on a bed somewhere..."

this is Rob Goldstone (not sitting on a bed somewhere)

let's face it, at this point we know how the guy's "mind" works

Renowned statesperson Chuck Grassley's main reaction to the news drumpf's spawn is a traitor is to ask what was this Russky bitch doing in the states after her visa expired?

Sure hope she was holding a G visa (for diplomats & other agents of foreign governments - awkward for the lies pootco has told about her connection to his mob), and that there was some loophole by which someone attached to the drumpf mob - a flunky, a real estate deal cosigner, etc - asked for some special dispensation for her to remain in the US beyond her initial visa duration. Or better, that it was at poot's request. Whaddaya make of that, Senator Corncob?

Dems flipped two OK legislature seats tonight in special elections. Seems both have been red for over 20 years.

Kasowitz will probably resign because, while he has a great spraytan, he's smart enough to know he wouldn't have much chance up against Mueller even if his client was clean-ish and/or smart- neither of which could be further from the truth

I wonder whose investigations are more robust: the collective free press, Muellers or our intelligence agencies?

We know McConnell knew about this but did nothing. Based on Paul Ryan's "keep it in the family" shadiness, it's probably safe to assume disgusting coward Paul Ryan was briefed and also put tax cuts for his buddies over his country. I'm glad I haven't developed a career and a personality based on worshiping him.

Interesting how the Trump administration has made some people favor very broad interpretations of vague criminal laws.

Hopefully we get our tax cuts soon. Also we got Gorsuch! And maybe President Pence soon. Perhaps Ryan was right and I was wrong.

But probably not

in your confusion, or maybe your desperation, or both, you keep imagining all of this is most importantly about "the law". Why you're doing this when you have every bit as little legal training as I do, I don't know. But you should know that it is not most importantly about the law. When - ok, if - that becomes clear to you, you'll process the upcoming events more usefully.

Orin Kerr? So HE's responsible for John Cornyn being as consistently stupid as he is

you're wrong all the time. you worship Trump enabler Christie. you built your whole identity around it. and you live in this GOP world, and you didn't even care to acknowledge the Alex Jones monster in all it's various forms that fuels your entire party. if it wasn't so pathetic I'd say it would be tragic.

Some of these things are probably true. I am certainly wrong all the time. But I do not worship Christie. He's still (mostly) dead to me.

sadly, this is only because nobody in the capitol holds the administration to any sort of ethical standards, so this remains the only recourse.

For this stage in an administration, there are unprecedented bipartisan investigations going on in both Houses and there's been a special counsel appointed.

Even though god invented 24 hour cable news and Facebook and Twitter since Watergate happened (15 months between special prosecutor appointed and resignation - with impeachment not yet reached despite opposite party control of Congress), this shit still takes time.
