I miss the times when we all agreed it would be great if Guantanamo was closed.

I don't think we all agree on that. I think it never should've been opened, but a good chunk of politicians like it.

My Christie analogy is apt.


It's only apt because it already exists. Her role is "to make sure that the department is as responsive and efficient as it can be in handling the various document requests that come in." If that's not a role for a political appointee, what is, for whatever the administration? It's not investigative, it's not evaluative. It's just a service so others don't have to deal with this bs investigation that is supposedly protecting the secrecy of American foreign policy by making sure the workings of the State Department are disseminated to as many people as possible.

Seems weird that the party that flat out lied to the American public about the reasons to get into a decade long war is so hellbent on prosecuting someone who sent 2 classified documents on her private e-mail. I guess it's not that weird, I just assume 99% of Republicans have no scruples*. At least the ones in office.

*YES, THE DUDE, BOTH SIDES DO IT. one just happens to have a greater % of people who are actively against this type of corruption.

Survivor frontman Frankie Sullivan is outraged Mike Huckabee carted out the freshly-freed Rowan County clerk Kim Davis to their song, "Eye of the Tiger," and we've learned the group is now considering a lawsuit.


Survivor Music (Official FB Page)
NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use "My Tune -The Eye Of The Tiger."

I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C'mom Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that -

See Ya really SoooooooonnnnnnN!!!!!!

Larry Lessig anounces running for president today. The one and only thing he's running on is single-mindedly focusing on getting money out of politics. :h:


Clinton announced her campaign finance reform ideas the other day. This is how you run a primary challenge.

high-minded Jonah Goldberg, he of liberal = fascist, is upset Trump took his ball and ran with it
Don't worry, he still gets his weird obsessions and dogwhistles in. Basically he's upset Trump bested him:
And when I say “the people” I don’t mean “those people.” I mean my people. I mean many of you, Dear Readers. Normally, when conservatives talk about how the public can be wrong, we mean that public. You know the one. The “low-information voters” Rush Limbaugh is always talking about. The folks we laughed at when Jay Leno interviewed them on the street. But we don’t just mean the unwashed and the ill-informed. We sometimes mean Jews, blacks, college kids, Lena Dunham fans, and countless other partisan slices of the electorate who reflexively vote on strict party lines for emotional or irrational reasons. We laugh at liberals who let know-nothing celebrities do their thinking for them.

Now he's being attacked! he's just another partisan slice like a black or a jew to the conservatives now, I guess.

I made a crack yesterday about the impending demise of the Republican Party and today here comes David Brooks agreeing with me

(although for some reason he sort of disremembers Bernie was an actual mayor of an actual US city for some period of time, as well as, y'know, a US senator)

But this is Chillary CLINTON. No doubt that devious bitch deleted Benghazi emails to cover her ass.

During his tenure at the State Department, Colin Powell used his own personal AOL email account.

He came into office encouraging the use of emails as a way of getting the staff to embrace the new 21st century information world.

a) Powell used two computers at State, with one exclusively for secure material.

b) Internal State Department and federal regulations regarding personal email use for official business both changed between Powell's tenure and Clinton's.

I don't get the Republican party. Do they even know how to govern anymore? It's all just rhetoric and accusations from the right these days. The only things they do accomplish is taking people's rights away.

I just don't see how the party survives for too much longer with this strategy.
