seth tells about IMpotus’ obsession with badgers starting at 4:10 in on vid. so maybe that’s not an orange rug on his head but a desiccated badger who died trying to eat his toxic brain.
on deadline white house yesterday, Andrew Weissmann said something to the effect that prosecutors resignations understandable because they were told to change facts listed in their recommendation in order to lower the sentencing from the 7-9 they initially recommended. he also chastised media for saying their recommendation was excessive when in truth they had suggested alternatives for the judge in addition to the guidelines’ 7-9 yrs the conviction facts required.
There, I thought. There is a lady who could stand up to Trump’s abuse in a debate without blinking or getting rattled.
a wise wag this a.m. on mojo opined that barr’s gripe to IMpotus about tweets making his job impossible really meant they were making it very difficult for him to do his job without being found out how corruptly he was doing it. IOWs, Donald, to do sneaky stuff, one must do it sneakily and not tweet or boast about it.
On a happier, non-political note.
And back to politics. Bloomberg is 78 today! OMG, they keep getting older & older!
Tip, first time I’ve heard anyone mention Bloomberg’s age. Funny, but that didn’t even occur to me. He doesn’t strike me as an old guy.
Pogo… same here…. I thought he was 10 yrs younger than that.
Trump’s life would have been a lot easier if he hadn’t done the ego thing and ran for president.
“Top of the world, Ma!”
Renee, LOL – exactly – want an easy life? Being president prolly ain’t it, although the ego thing he obviously relishes and his copious doses of golf and resort life probably ease the pain a bit.
SFB wanted someone he thought he could easily control. He likes folks who will lie for him, take illegal orders from him, take the fall for him. I can’t wait for the end of this movie when the creepy, frat rat meets justice and can’t get out of it. Looking forward to Klobuchar in the next debate! Mayor Pete won’t have a million flags behind him to try to make him look presidential. Amy will have her words to just that.
Let all PATRIOTS send a love letter to America this year and VOTE DEM.
I think Amy has grown as a candidate. She will only get better.
.
…growing more intrigued by this photographing-the-tv process🤔
It’s best not too peak to early, as Warren did. i had that worry at that time but resisted expression of such so as not to jinx it, but alas, jinxed it has become.
Amy’s got my vote.
(unless the race shifts again based on some development that bolsters Warren’s campaign)
Well… at least someone benefits from a little sunshine of the DOJ…
McCarthy on Friday downplayed Vindman’s return to the Army, saying he simply returned to the service a few months earlier than planned and would have a “bridging assignment” for a couple of months in the Army’s headquarters office in Washington.
“Then he will be heading to a senior service college this summer. There’s no investigation into him,” McCarthy said at a National Press Club luncheon.
I’m amazed that there is what appears to be some “The old man is crazy, tell him to fuck off” push back from DoJ and DoD. Anyone know when Stone’ sentencing hearing is? Love to make sure I don’t miss that.
“…when Stone’ sentencing hearing is? Love to make sure I don’t miss that.”
Pogo, be careful what you say–DOJ is frantically searching for a Stone stand-in.
Folks are lining up to see Bernie in Texas. Will it matter? Paper ballots!
Just realized that sounded like a pro-Bernie statement. It’s not, unless he is the eventual nominee. Still hoping Amy can be in that debate stage against SFB.
I truly want a Democratic candidate who can last for two terms: As of election day: Biden: 78; Sanders: 79; Warren: 71; Bloomberg: 78; Klobuchar: 60; Butigieg: 39. That pretty well narrows it down to Klobuchar/Butigieg. Looks like a good team to me.
Offer Kamala AG to clean up the Barr mess.
Warren for Treasury Secretary. Biden for Goodwill Ambassador. Swalwell for Supreme Court.
I’m marginally older than any of the 70-somethings in the hunt. The only one I would put in charge of my world’s affairs for the next almost nine years would be Liz and that would be with trepidation. I’m with Jamie; Amy and Pete are the best team.
OK, because I wanted to know – Stone sentencing WAS 2/20 – until he filed his sealed Motion for a New Trial – on the heels of SFB’s insane tweet about the jury forewoman being biased. Goddammit the orange bastard is a furking blight on the country. DoJ has until Tuesday to reply to the sealed filing.
Illegitimi non carborundum, good Sir
I like the offer to Kamala for AG – regardless of who wins this thing. Obama as 1st choice for 1st SCOTUS opening.
I hope Jackson tells Stone to screw off – oh, and report to FCI whatever within 7 days for a vacation of 7-9 years.
Bink, thanks – I won’t.
Klobuchar/Booker ticks a lot of those boxes you fine people prefer filled, just sayin’
(plus they’re not actively trying to undermine each other in a primary battle)
Obama’s too old for the SCOTUS.
He’s the perfect age to be a grandfather.
…posting this one more time because it’s Friday and it’s too good to miss (no offensive content)
apologize if you did listen and this seems redundant✌️
I like Klobuchar/Booker a lot.
Also, Klobuchar/Patrick and Klobuchar/Allred (Colin) and Klobuchar/Jeffries (Hakeem)
Allred helps w/Texas. Played fb at Baylor.
Also like Klobuchar/Castro (Julian, NOT FIDEL ! ! !)
Bink
Wonderful music and if you haven’t seen an excellent film: If Beale Street Could Talk
It would be nice to see Klobuchar joined with a POC such as Harris, Castro, or Booker but I was going for amassing as much of the current voting base as possible with Butigieg.
Re Obama, I disagree. He’s 58 – got an easy 25 years in him, 30 if he emulates Notorious RBG. Biggest issue is whether he’d want a real job.
Obama may be a good age for grandpa but his kids away to young to be parents
pogo, I never thought of Bloomberg’s age either until I heard it was his birthday & he’s 78.
I was talking with a friend, and it dawned on me that I have to decide on whom to vote for soon. On the one hand there’s this nice debate and on the other hand Bloomberg has started a bar fight or food fight with the dictator.
I’m still pondering…
….an instrumental new jazz love song, the video is a staring contest between you and the band members
(the internet at its best❤️)
Bloomberg will keep poking SFB even if he’s not the nominee. He’ll help the nominee. Gotta save America from every Republican except Mitt.
I think we have WI, MI, and PA in the bag already. We want to take FL and TX this time.

hope we hear more of what really happened
This Amy Klobuchar could beat Trump. Where has she been all year?

Justice Department drops McCabe criminal investigation
IMpotus won’t like this either

The Mercury News and East Bay Times endorse Amy Klobuchar
This represents all the beach cities of California. Decidedly suburban, working class, multi racial.
“ DOJ is frantically searching for a Stone stand-in.”
…any old cartoonish Bond-villain will do.
Roger Stone IS “the Man with the Douche-y Specs”, in theaters, this Fall!
Rudy Giuliani IS “the Man with the Radioactive Teeth”, in theaters, soon after that!
At least something good is happening in DC. First Lady and Mr. P are getting ready for the new arrivals.
