A buttery weeble-wabble shaped Petri dish of experimental medication and disregarded medical advice, like a bald oversized overstuffed trash panda caught in the hazmat dumpster at a cancer research facility. The guy didn’t even fail at casinos this bad. He’s not getting better with age.

Rick Wilson



“1/ A former friend who has joined the Washington "just following orders" crowd is horrified that we're hitting Jason Miller.

I asked him which of Jason's admitted actions -- the prostitutes, the strippers, skipping child support, etc -- he'd like to defend in public.
2/ "Well, I can't. You know I have to work in this town. Besides, he has a family."

Me: "He has at least two families, one to whom he's refusing to pay child support."
3/ The broader conversation was telling. A guy in the business who bent the knee to Trump feels the campaign is out of control (and I have better visibility into their ops and it's even worse than he thinks) and losing.
4/ He still can't understand why the @ProjectLincoln founders burned our boats and give no fucks. It's the DC mindset writ large. "Go along to get along" turned out to be a slippery slope. Dude, we're liberated.
5/ If you're protecting Jason Miller to "get along" you've lost your moral compass in a fundamental way.”

Yup. You respond to Black Lives Matter with tear gas and pepper spray, encouraging hit-and-runs, police beatings, and shooters, you soon wind up in a hospital gasping for air.

Ah, the pause, the sweet intoxicating sound of no trump. Savor it. Wallow in it.

Then do what you can to make it last.

Vote.

Eric Trump is being interviewed by the NY AG's office tomorrow.

At last report, he was planning on pleading the 5th throughout the interview.

This is a civil case, not a criminal case - they have not (yet) indicated that they have even found a crime!

So... if Eric Trump pleads the 5th, the state is allowed to interpret that as a statement of guilt.

I remain struck by the degree to which the GOP's rank and file has swallowed the bullshit that the president, his sycophants, and Fox news have spewed, as represented by Mr. Full O'Shit Carter, himself.

I would love to see an October version of that, before and after Trump's positive test announcement.

I guess we get the after with the votes.

More trouble in GOP-land, as another of their criminals has been exposed:

Quote
SEVEN whistleblowers, including former top aides and current attorneys are asking the feds to investigate him for alleged crimes including abuse of office and bribery, KVUE reports. "We have a good faith belief that the Attorney General is violating federal and/or state law, including prohibitions relating to improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other potential criminal offenses."

Couldn't happen to a nicer man.

Pax is deserving of some frontier justice. He’ll likely be allowed to scuttle away in twisted Texas after performing some last dark act to dismantle justice.

Did Notre Dame play anyone in the Big 10 before two weekends ago?

If so, trump may have emplagued himself as a result of his campaign to rush ahead with college football.

Trump Part II: Putin's Revenge
« Reply #52270 on: October 05, 2020, 04:39:18 AM »
There have to be plenty of folks out there who are suffering from Trump fatigue.
Hope they vote, but even just mild Trump '16 supporters sitting it out would mean a Trump loss.

So is it possible that Putin's final order to Trump was to make sure that he lost the election, but to lay the groundwork for contesting the election, and then refuse to relinquish power?  Wouldn't such undermining of fair elections and threat to democracy be the Russian Dream for Putin?  Opening up the possibility of military or militia involvement and further chaos and weakening of the US ...

Mike Madrid is a co-founder of the Lincoln Project. A longtime Republican political strategist and a former political director for the California State Republican Party, he is currently a partner at the public relations firm GrassrootsLab.

So the Democratic obliteration of the GOP in CA is paying off ...

It’s how we do.

We have to kick Issa in his expensive dentition again this cycle, the low rent slimy handed Torquemada. He skeeved off to another district to fill the crater left by Duncan Hunter’s implosion. We’ll beat him there this time as General disgust with useless republicans flows like morning light across the hills and valleys.
