Trump loses at least 7-2 at the Supreme Court and probably worse. These guys don’t have to worry about being primaried and this is the dumbest case ever made.

They said it for the first time. I would bet they have known for years.

In other news, ITS AN EMERGENCY. really.

I wonder about the nature of the next emergency.

Wait, I thought he was just making an educated guess that they had John Podesta's emails. I am shocked!

Saw someone mapped the NJ-03 results on Twitter earlier today so checked the Burlco election site and finally they did have municipality results up.

MacArthur won Medford, but only by 77 votes out of over 12k cast (which is f'ing bonkers turnout in a midterm, 2016 was under 14k votes). Disappointing to see Hugin only won by 13%. Would've guessed 20%.

Figure Kim has a very good chance of winning it in 2020 unless the GOP gets a good opponent. Trump also very well could lose it. So a Dem winning Medford is still something that hasn't happened in my adult lifetime, but it is looming. And makes me pretty sad (not Trump losing it in particular since he sucks and I wouldn't vote for him no matter what, but my party should be nominating people who win the approval of significant majorities of people who live in Medford rather than aiming for people who live in West Virginia).

It would be really great if we started seeing some espionage indictments. He may be holding that for later, but this is the type of evidence that could make charges turn more serious. Then we wouldn't have to hear Ghouliani say these are just process crimes.

I’d like to hear from Giuliani, because let’s face it every time that cat talks he just makes the whole more and more like a creator. When I think about it I’m impressed that I haven’t heard any insanity from him in the last week or two. Sunday sounds like a good day for that. But instead of changing the topic stone, I think if he shows up he totally invalidate any reasoning whatsoever at the wall should fall under emergency statutes.

When a reporter asked him about his stats, because the DHS stats are completely different, he just said he has his own "sources" and the DHS stats are completely wrong lol. Just making #$!&@ up on the spot as usual.


Honestly, how is a line like that not completely terrifying to nearly every American (and even non-Americans)?

This is how authoritarianism works. The leader has spoken and you side with him because he is the leader and he is correct and your enemies are not.

I'm noticing an increasing number of increasingly extreme memes from libertarian outlets on Facebook and other places. Russian bots or is this where republicans are going to hide at the moment? "I'm not Republican, I'm Libertarian -- yeah, that's the ticket."

After that hard work of talking crazy in the rose garden Don fled to Mar-a-Lago for some R&R this long weekend. Notice how it is not ever mentioned anymore. We are desensitized.

BTW a few weeks ago I saw a list that had like 9 ambassadors on it that were all Trump country club members.

It is an emergency, in Close encounters the chosen had to build a replica mountain. Here Trump is galvanizing his troops to build the wall. Mountain, wall, same thing. You have to keep the troops brainwashed.

Can someone explain this concept that colleges are factories the focus on cranking out liberals? I was surprised to hear this from a friend, who is educated, and has a high paying career. I was not up to fighting over it given everything else we were talking about last night. I’ve always taken that position as an antieducation disposition held by people who live in areas without access to higher education. I’ve always viewed it through the lens of my youth where many of the people I grew up with, and their families, thought college made you a self important jerk.

Maybe it's rooted in the 60's when liberals often fought against the Vietnam War on college campuses. People for the war complained about college kids being against the war and refusing to fight.

Most professors are also probably liberal, so that might have something to do with it.

In present day, having a brain and using it is also cause for disdain, so the anti-intellectual thing is pretty real.
