But there are still people saying that GA's spiking. When they are shown the numbers from the GDPH, literally, they shrug. Apparently, following data is very passe. But, if NPR has a story, well ...

It's not exactly the same, but 41 went into Somalia after the '92 election. So, he saddled 42 with a war that hadn't been going prior to the election.

Mr. Brennan, no offense, but if you aren't under oath when you are speaking your words don't mean a d*man thing. And even if you are under oath, they aren't worth much.

A LOOOOONNNNG time ago Berke Breathed had one of the characters explain to Opus that he was a politician, not a statesman because a statesman is a dead politician. The punchline was 'we need more statesmen.' Not too far from the truth.

Wouldn't it be great if so much as a single reporter would ask Adam Schiff, who still claims that all these transcripts support his assertion that 45 colluded with Russia, to point out precisely, since he still claims the evidence is there, where this smoking gun is? Now that almost all of them are public, and at least the ones I've read aren't heavily redacted, he should be able to show everyone that disagrees with him exactly where it is, right?

That isn't a lie. It's absolutely true. The people from that administration have no shame, so they cannot feel embarrassment. That clause at the end of the sentence, like so many of 44's other pronouncements using similar clauses, is what makes it factually correct even though it seems like he's said something other than what he's said. The man is a lawyer after all.

Do the dead registered voters get a 2nd ballot or will they be limited to just 1 like the living registered voters?

Well, as long as it isn't filled with women. That MIGHT be ok. But conservatives having binders might be a triggering action. So, we really need to ask Sens, Warren & Gillibrand whether this is an acceptable use of a binder. If they don't agree Justice Bader-Ginsburg's pancreas gets the deciding vote.

Not being familiar with all those underlying statues that are back (pretty much) to normal enforcement, could you give us a Reader's Digest version of what actually has been opened up? Thanks in advance, counselor.

You might want to add another condition to that bet, namely, that should he lose he has to use that new avatar for ALL his personas. Otherwise, this one simply goes away and before you know it Patrick Henry (or other Revolutionary War figure) shows up in his stead.

Dayum, Tim put on a lot of weight since covering the Bills and Fish. ? (Yes, we know it's a different Tim Graham.)

Agreed. Never heard of him before today, but if THOSE are the people that don't like him, then he definitely deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Were they the Director? Were they even an Assistant Director? If they weren't at either of those levels & they weren't fresh out of the FBI's training academy they were by definition "midlevel." /every obfuscating jackhole still trying to cover up the pile that's laying exposed on the carpet

ONLY one? This place got noticeably more readable around 5PM tonight. All in all it's been a good week.

Good point.

The statement by her ex from '96 definitely leads credence to the supposition that something happened to her in '93.

Absolutely. Am just marvelling at how opposed to him they were a few months back but now they have to be thinking 'well, he can't be any worse.'

So, do the Senate Dems ask for a voice vote to approve Ratcliffe tonight?

It would be painfully dumb for him to do that. Grennell could just release his docs and let people compare them side by side. Full o' Schiff's statement with the release doubles down on the docs in this release proving 45's malfeasance. (Of course, if they really did, he'd've released them before he even officially could have done so.)

Tells me he's desperately hoping somebody in his old "house" will keep the seditious battle going for him because he's realizing if they don't he's completely ######.

Would be about par for the course for him.

Wonder what Gary's new handle will be.

Correct.

Knowing who General Clark is, yep.

Dear Mr. President, Please do things that democrats can use in campaign events to make you look bad. My aim in writing this is to help you (lose the next election, because at the national level that is all anyone from my side of the aisle (and the Never Trumpers from the other side of the Aisle, too) care about). (Did he forget to put the stuff in parenthesis in the letter, or did CNN edit it out?) Yep, great article.
