Did you have your mommy come and berate the cop for you as well? Wasit the same cop?

One previously sealed indictment down, 10k+ to go.

RIP. Fortunately, looks like the murderer was taken into custody by police. So they should be able to find out who he was working with.

Yes, please do.

Know a ton of fishermen that would love to outlaw them.

Apples & potatoes here. Not at all surprising that you don't mind losing your own civil rights.

Glad that Nunes is finally to the point of pointing out that there was no intelligence to justify the initial spying on the opposition campaigns. (But also surprised Schiff hasn't found a TV camera to go all Latka Gravas in front of yet.) Really hoping that Nunes (or other less political person) can explain the distinction in the various FISA levels of surveillance/ warrants so the people not following this issue closely will finally understand just how big of an issue OUR GOVERNMENT spying on Americans w/out cause really is.

So, it sounded like Nunes said that no 5 eyes intelligence kicked off the collusion investigation. If so, that seems to contradict the Papadapolous (sp?) Austrailian excuse for trying to start the investigation, right? Wonder if Syd brought whatever he gave to State into the building in his underwear? Seems he's not big on suitcases; at least he wasn't back in the day.

Retatta. That or 3.5.

Agree w/ the bolded. But, he made the assertion that 45 has "tried to shut down the investigation." Was hoping he'd enlighten us w/ the ways the President has done so & would also like to know why he believes those efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

How has he "tried to shut down the investigation?" If he wants to shut down the investigation, he has the authority to do so by firing Mueller. That wouldn't be wise IMHO, but he can do so.

Well, when your coffers are empty & you're having trouble getting donations, guess suing is one way to replenish them. Course, you have to actually have a hope in hell of actually winning the lawsuit to get that money, but ...

Brave mofos. Hoping they win.

Change? As in, like a diaper? What difference, at this point, does it make? Depends.

You have TPS on ignore? You're going to miss 1/2 of some epic monetary policy discussions between him & GG. TPS is definitely one of our sane lefties and typically brings good discussion to the table.

Yep. Either he's lying now (w/out fear of perjury) or he was lying when he testified earlier (under threat of perjury). Hmmm, which is more plausible?

Amazing how someone so self absorbed can hold so little self awareness.

RIP Mrs. 41.

Conventional wisdom, but unless this case is absolutely airtight, could really see going after those people & 44 leading to a civil war. Could happen even if the case is absolutely airtight due to "fake news" syndrome. Here in the land of former Rep Slaughter there are many people still absolutely enraged about "Russian collusion" & treason; and they aren't referring to the people that paid for the dossier when they talk about those subjects. Have to believe the people in your area code are even more invested in that viewpoint. To see theinvestigations go forward, much less charges being brought, will be viewed as a coup itself. DR, REALLY hoping that either (or better yet both) of your suppositions hold - that Mueller'sinvestigaion exonerates 45 & comes down on the Podestas & friends (on both sides of the aisle) or that NK & Iran are both out of the "Axis of Evil in the reasonably near future. It seems the IG & others have their act together. Hope that's the case. If not, this will be a long, ugly winter come December-ish.

To the bolded, the better stated part was that ultimately it is up to the people of the Middle East to get the region in order.

Interesting that 45 specifically called out Russia for not keeping Assad in check. Also interesting the comment that (paraphrasing here) in time Russia & maybe Iran could become friends of the US, or maybe not.

There also isn't the same degree of "skin in the game" for those negotiating on behalf of the tax payers as there is for those negotiating for management/ownership in the private sector. Not only can the fear of "company" collapse not be present should too much be conceded to the union, but There can actually be incentive for those negotiating for the tax payer to favor the position of those they are across the table from.

Let's hope. Amazing how much the landscape appears to be changing.

If you are correct on this one, that is about the biggest bait & switch ever. (Far bigger than going after Manafort being about the Podestas. IMHO)

While theoretically such a proposal might increase the representation of individuals, really don't see it doing that effectively. Would expect a couple of the unintended consequences being that for issues that aren't strongly advocated by special interests that gridlock would increase (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and for those issues that special interests do hold dear, the big guys now have an even greater advantage as they have the resources to lobby the larger # of Congresscritters now required to pass legislation.
