Dems missing out on some top candidates in multiple races across the country with her out and the two or three that are running for president.


Biden/Abrams seems like it might be a thing after all.

My first thought was a smart black woman is going to be the 21st in the race. She said she isn’t running to be #2 so if she’s VP I would think it would come at the convention not as a primary ploy.

You need to name drop the wunderkind's chum & wingman Jack Burkman as well in this one act pla. I did not know Burkman tried this:

In 2014, after defensive lineman Michael Sam became the first major openly gay National Football League draft prospect, Burkman announced that he would push Congress to pass legislation prohibiting openly gay NFL players. “If the NFL has no morals and no values, then Congress must find values for it,” he opined. The blatantly unconstitutional idea — which he basically admitted was a publicity stunt — went nowhere and was never introduced in Congress.

I wish to get audio of Mulveny MFing Trump about his meeting with the enemy. Something like, “stupid SOB, I can’t even leave the office without him doing something stupid.”

"The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions," Mueller wrote in the letter on March 27, according to the Post. "There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations."

Trump's approval rating at it highest in 2 years. Also, almost 60% are not in favor of impeachment. The Barr-Trump-Meadows firewall worked.

But Greenwald and Tracey told me it was the media's fault and that Mueller never said that!

A senator from SC is building a wall, in the senate hearing room, to debunk the material ni the report they are supposed to discuss next. Struk, Paige, etc., perhaps misleading Meuller because 12 angry democrats (did not use that line FWIW).

LOL they missed beeping Graham when he read "Trump is a F'ing idiot" on live TV.

He's unhinged. Now he's rambling about the Clintons and emails. Only missing a "lock her up" quote.

With friends like these...

Seriously, isn't Graham supposed to be on Trump's side? I guess I need to hear or read the quote to get the context but it is hard to imagine a scenario where it is construed as a good thing to have your ally call you a fucking idiot.
