When the indictments are all in, that ship will be the Mary Celeste.

The White House refused to turn over the security docs that determined the lack of secure status for Ivanka and Jared.

Instead, somebody leaked them, today.

Just off the top of my head the next big thing is gonna be the nexuse of Jared Kushner, MBS and Bibi Netanyahu.

Saudis are afraid of the regional influence that may come from... Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

House passes historic reform legislation but media is focused on Omar. Meanwhile shit is getting done so the narrative is predictably “Dems in disarray!”

Of course this bill won’t pass the Senate but the GOP is gonna have to riverdance furiously to kill it with any logical rationale besides, “Uh, socialism!”

Then they’ll  have to run on that shit with straight faces.

That the administration wanted to avoid figuring out just hpw many children they separated, let alone who, where, or when, is revolting. Judge Sabraw's ruling is humane.

US District Judge Dana Sabraw's 14-page ruling is a major blow to the Trump administration, which had argued that a new group of separated families revealed in a government watchdog report shouldn't be included in the case. The report from the Health and Human Services inspector general had found that thousands more children had been separated than previously acknowledged.

As a result of the judge's order, officials may have to comb through a massive trove of case files and pinpoint exactly how many families were separated going back as far as July 1, 2017. HHS and the inspector general's office were unable to identify exactly how many more families were separated because there were "significant challenges in identifying separated children." Officials estimated that the children were separated, received by HHS for care and released prior to Sabraw's June 26, 2018, court order ordering a halt to most family separations at the US border.

"The hallmark of a civilized society is measured by how it treats its people and those within its borders," wrote Sabraw, who sits in the Southern District of California. "That Defendants may have to change course and undertake additional effort to address these issues does not render modification of the class definition unfair; it only serves to underscore the unquestionable importance of the effort and why it is necessary (and worthwhile)."

This will be another time that DimBulbWard ducks the issue.

Of course this bill won’t pass the Senate

Because it is unconstitutional.

Just so you know.

Red’s already living in a brand new fascist state with a brand new fascist constitution that he pulled straight out of his tired old fascist asshole.

Your usual bold statement with absolutely no support for your declaration.

And, again, you cannot handle the intricacies of formatting the quote function.

The official documentation of espionage and emoluments violations, money laundering, influence peddling, and more is leaking direct from his White House to bodies that can hold his fat ass to the fire and when it’s cooked, throw him out in the street. This is a great sign of our democracy functioning the way it aught to in these circumstances.

If you see something, say something.

Heard through the grapevine there won't be any "collusion" wording in Mueller report.

Because the Mueller team has leaked soooooooooo much.

You are almost as big a fool as Bambi and that is saying something.

Remember, Kid. Josh knows more than anyone here. He's the smartest guy in the room. Of course, since he's been running things, the room keeps getting smaller. But still...very smart guy. Friggin' genius!

Too fucking funny, Piggy.

You get so bent out of shape over being wrong in the Movies forum that you decide to go after me here.

I didn't even claim to know anything in this instance other than that Kiiid's chances of knowing anything are miniscule - and I doubt you disagree with me.

And yeah, it has been getting smaller.

So what if (a) it was getting smaller before I had any authority here and (b) more people left because of your bullshit than mine, 5-1, at a minimum. Easier for you to blame others than admit you are a bigger PITA on average than I am on my worst day.

Have a good weekend, Piggy.

Shouldn't you be out there defending Michael Jackson, The King of PEDs?  Because your one black friend tells you he's innoncent? STFU, loser.

McConnell has expressed his fervent opposition to even relatively uncontroversial sections of the bill, such as making Election Day a federal holiday in order to give people more time to vote. McConnell called this a “power grab” for Democrats, a striking admission that Republicans do better when fewer people vote.   

Indeed. 

Can't wait to hear our constitutional scholar explain how HR 1 violates the Constitution.

Expect irrelevant cut/pastes soon!

It is not unconstitutional to pass stupid laws.
