Well, he wants up to STFU and ignore this distraction. The current crop of VA politicians are the worst at political stuff.

In local news, a GOP state senator and friend of Northam said that his goodness as a person led him to taking responsibility too quickly to stop the hurt.

I heard this on the way in. The Utah (passed by 53 percent majority) law maker they talk to is impressive. He effectively says that the voters have no idea what they voted for, and they did not vote for implementation. To carry it forward and honor the voters they are proposing a 25% cut to what the text of the passed measure said (max income of $12000 instead of the propositions stated $16000), add work requirements (there were no requirements in the bill), and cap the number of citizens enrolled. Idaho (60% majority) was a little more blunt saying it will bankrupt the state with all those freeloaders, and the horde that will move to the state. Montana on the other hand passed a similar measure and has found it to be profitable to the state ($600 million of outside money).

While states do have to pay 10 percent of the cost of expanded Medicaid (the federal government covers 90 percent — a more generous "match" than traditional Medicaid), the combination of savings and economic growth meant that, in the case of Montana, the program basically pays for itself.

I know this is similar to what I posted previously, but the details of how the elected officials are approaching the approved ballot measures is stunning.

This Bezos story has potential to be an all-timer. Is there no doubt whatsoever that either the Israelis or Saudi intelligence being behind how NI got all this Bezos intel? No way it came from anyone but an intelligence agency.

I suspect Bezos has a super secure phone, however his mistress probably didn't

All this said, Gorsuch (in a stolen seat) joined the douchebag justices in full. At least Kavanaugh (in a Russian aided seat) said he'd like some more information about the law's effects. I hope they all die in 2021.

when I was 7 I slicked my hair to one side and put black electrical tape on my lip and walked around the house imitating Hitler by spouting German sounding words and saluting Nazi style, but my knowledge of him at the time was purely from Looney Tunes and I had no real concept of who he really was or what he did
Mom took a pic since she thought it was funny and I went to show my friends
She gasped- "No! you cant do that!"
We lived in a Jewish neighborhood

He’s a moron.

I missed it but if Whitaker is testifying does that mean that they promised not to subpoena him?

How long will it be until it comes out that the President was personally involved in this?

What time is it?

Also, I did not hear the question but this answer was interesting:

"I do not intend today to talk about my private conversations with the President of the United States, but to answer your question, I have not talked to the President of the United States about the special counsel's investigation," Whitaker told Nadler. "We have followed the special counsel's regulations to a T," Whitaker later added. "There has been no decision that has required me to take any action, and I have not interfered with the special counsel's investigation in any way."

Ever? Or just after you became AAG? Either way, I don't believe him.
