That's such a bad analogy hahaha

It's still not as bad as John Kerry's football moment:

Like most Dems, I think Hillary 2020 and I think “Dear god no.” Then I read this article - admittedly by some FOX News dude - and I think to myself, “Uh oh.”

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/michael ... un-in-2020

And as I sit stewing in last week’s loss, I am afraid I am finding what I have always sort of known: while I hate raising money, I actually love the process of campaigning, particularly the meeting people and working with a team and whatnot. I miss it.

Why am I thinking of these two things together? Because among my other character flaws I sometimes have intense delusions of grandeur.

Are you announcing that you're running for president?

Imagine if NFL team was trailing 24-22 but in final seconds hits a 3 pt kick to win. Then AFTER game lawyers for losing team get a judge to order rules changed so that last second field goals are only 1 point

Well that’s how democrat lawyers plan to steal #Florida election 1/4


Beside being a stupid analogy, this may be the most ironic thing you'll read in the next 10 years; a Republican complaining about changing the rules.

she's doing a tour over the next 6 months and people n her old campaign have said she might run. Maybe she's waiting to see how things develop, but I wouldn't say she definitely isn't at this point. I hope she doesn't, but I'm not sure who the dems have that has the name recognition and experience to knock off the Donald and his band of cultists.

I'm saying she isn't because my prediction doesn't matter! Might as well be firm in it!

Barak Obama didn't have the name recognition and experience before he had the name recognition and experience.

Are you talking about Mark Penn? One of the biggest knocks on the Clintons is that they haven't forced Penn into exile. He makes Jared Kushner look smart. Hey, let's run some cross tabs and focus on the really small cells! I know, I'll call it Microtrends!

The Justice Department issued a defense of President Donald Trump's controversial appointment of Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general Wednesday, offering several reasons why the appointment is consistent with the Constitution, federal statutes and past precedent.

Here is the memo:

This welcome the newcomers to capitol hill thing is odd. Some races aren't decided. Those people get left out!

Also, people like Andy Kim are there who *should* win but there still hasn't been a concession nor has it been certified.

I want answers.

Fox News President Jay Wallace released a statement that the network intends to file an amicus curiae brief supporting CNN's lawsuit against Trump.

That is a 3 point kick in the balls right there.

I that they are awkwardly invited. Rick Scott of FL was there. I was surprised to see Sinema get there so quickly. Of course that is the Senate, who knows what the little league does.

Cracks in the veneer:

Maddog Mattis is too moderate.
Kirstjen Nielsen's conservative Christian view is not staunch enough.

Effectively, he wants an all crazy team to simply push flawed agenda so he can point to his being right without accountability, morality, or sanity. If he just learned a tiny bit about governing and leadership he might get something done, but his desire for combativeness and vindication is a losing strategy in most optics. Now if we can just get the farmers off the dole so the bottom falls out.
