CNN having a COW today over Trump not wearing a mask.

Don't read CNN but here's my thought:  you're a leader of a world power.   Masks promote some good hygiene and protection if everyone wears one.   Leaders, in times of crisis, try to set an example to people and show their confidence in the guidelines of health experts.   You're literally standing next to a bin with HUNDREDS OF MASKS.   And you're not wearing one or accepting one.   Let's see if we can think about this choice with some attempt at reason and objectivity, hmm?   

BTW:  I walked into a hardware store today (masks required)  and the PA system was playing "Danger Zone. "
Well, kiid has a point. It is not like Trump wore a tan suit or something.

The above post,  from RSW,  was posted earlier and now has been deleted and reposted,  presumably to move it up the queue.   In any case,  it now dovetails neatly with my "doo process" pun,  so I can only say job well done!   

That said,  I hope this sort of tactic doesn't catch on here.
If I thought kiid or Red gave two fucks about prosecutorial excess in any other context that would be something. But they don't. Constructing a perjury trap to turn a witness was not invented for Flynn. What was invented, apparently, was the Justice Department caring about such things.

Not sure what Palin has to do with death panels.

She coined the phrase you idiot. 




Well - heh - there you go...like I said - had no idea

I have her book but didnt read it.

Check out HBO's Game Change

Juilanne Moore I think played the part.

Speaking of death

"He's been remorseful since it happened"

Whatever.

Some crimes are so grievous that...  ahh, hell - never mind

I am not trusting this MF to not go off on someone.

What’s your point, if any?
Eric Holder 11 years ago did the same thing.
Was he accused of “ politicization of the Justice Department “?

Fair question...

Is every white senior citizen stupid or do they hear in all this talk of war and sacrifice that they’re considered collateral damage and acceptable losses?

Wait, what?!

Pompeo offered a bounty of $55 million to anybody capturing President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela and four of his top associates?!
