It was really smart of John Bolton to hide evidence in a place where trump would never be able to find it - a book.

« on: January 27, 2020, 11:27:22 AM »There's no thread for competitive eating, so I'll post this here....Quote(CNN)A woman has choked to death on a lamington -- Australia's national cake -- during an eating competition to celebrate the country's national day.
The 60-year-old was taking part in a lamington and pie eating competition in the coastal city of Hervey Bay, in the state of Queensland, according to CNN affiliate Nine News.
The event took place at the Beach House Hotel on Sunday to mark Australia Day -- a public holiday typically celebrated with parades, fireworks and food festivals around the country.
Does that count as a win?
disqualification, I would have thought.

On Pompeo:
The extent of Pompeo's lies wrt his meeting w/Ms. Kelly is becoming clear, as material is released.
It's just plain stupid.

Thomas Wright, director of the Center on the US & Europe at the Brookings Instit, said on Twitter. “He was promoted beyond his abilities because so many people were ruled out. The delta between what’s required & what he has is now on full display.”

« on: January 26, 2020, 06:50:52 PM »You have to give the GOP credit. They back their man,
No!
I do not give them credit for standing by their man, not because he's an ass but because he is an amoral crook.
They stand by him while he actively destroys people's lives, while he refuses flu vaccines, while he undermines the country's purpose...
No, no credit and I wish people would stop celebrating their willingness to support him regardless of the cost to the rest of the world.

We already knew this. Ward and Kid, in particular, illustrate it brilliantly.
But it's always... validating to have it illustrated by follks outside ourselves:

GOP voters acknowledge Trump's lawbreaking, but dismiss it.
AKA He could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and his voters would stick with him.
I'm disgusted.

This is terrible.
I am sure there is a story, since the woman knew at least one of them, but regardless of the backstory, just awful.
