DC Tom

I hope he's keeping in mind the glaring hole in the roster, and trying to recruit a player named "Williams." Perfect!

I can't help thinking House Democrats are going to ***** this up and end up endorsing antisemitism accidentally. And then blame Trump.

Yes...but you're overstating it. She didn't get them in sixth grade. She got them from college econ and sociology professors.

@Chef Jim Never mind Taco Bell...want to make any comments on job stability in the restaurant industry?

Yeah, and I've not only had clearances, but used to work on the clearance system. And that's why a lot of federal workers were pissed at Hillary: because we all knew we'd be looking at a criminal conviction (e.g. Petraeus, Sandy Berger) if we mishandled classified info as such, or even used personal email for government business. But as TYTT said: when you're Secretary of State, you're a penultimate classifying authority. You get to make the rules. Now...sharing that info with the Clinton Foundation (which evidence is published in the State Department online reading room), that's a big no-no. Same sort of big no-no that people accuse Trump of - using classified info to further his private interests (the difference being there's actual direct public evidence of Clinton doing it - State published the emails that contain the classified info that were sent to the CF.) And hiding records from Congressional oversight - that's a huge no-no. We get trained on that twice a year: government communication takes place on government equipment, because they're government records subject to Congressional oversight. And we better hope they're in order if we get subpoeaned or hauled in front of a Congressional committee (which has happened to at least two people I've worked with.) And she absolutely was hiding government records from oversight - commingling her government communications with CF records and personal emails, blurring the lines between "official" and "personal," is basically the same tactic Saddam Hussein used to hide his WMD program from inspectors (commingling CW munitions with conventional munitions, then denying everything and letting inspectors sort it out.)

The President is THE ultimate classifying and adjudicating authority, by law. And the House exercises no authority over it. And before you start with your whataboutism bull####...yes, I noted Hillary was a classifying authority, and the classified info on her server was a minor issue because of it. But how do you think Chelsea got her clearance?

Developing… UPDATE: “We know this would still be under wraps if she hadn’t stepped on senior Democrat toes. They’re ready to throw her to the wolves.” Speculation, but it sure seems like informed speculation. . Well how else do you think Congressmen get rich? Doing their jobs?

Doesn't make it any less beautiful to watch.

Trump hugging the flag? A #MeToo moment.

Bill was our last non-imperial president.

Not really. He doesn't implode, he just pretends he didn't say what he said.

You have been doing exactly that for TWO ***** YEARS.

Yes, I'm accusing a BARTENDER of that, absolutely.

I think Trump might be okay to hang out with; I suspect he's less annoying in private than his public persona. I'd still rather juggle live honey badgers. Obama's just the sort of smug that would annoy the hell out of me. But I bet Bill would be a hell of a wingman.

Yeah, I kind-of forgot that he was done in 2009, not 2007.

Name a politician in the past 12 years that hasn't.

Should've killed someone in a community with more diversity, then.

I said it wasn't as efficient as it seems. Nowhere did I do a cost-benefit analysis or compare it to anything else. I just clarified that the "magic bullet" news reports are, as usual, bull####.

For anyone wondering, this is what conspiracy and obstruction of justice looks like.

What the ***** does that have to do with what I said?

The problem I have is that every time I see her I want her to make me a rum and coke...but I'm pretty sure she'd ***** it up and blame it on me.

There was no national emergency in ***** Burundi, either. But the law allows the president to declare a national emergency for any reason at any time. The true idiocy of this argument is that it's entirely a semantic arguement about the definition of "emergency" in this single instance, which is not a legally defensible argument and ignores the historical precedent of "emergency" as previously used. But then, you only want to argue this instance...because you want to argue about the man, not the law.

"John Jacob Hickenlooper Schmidt His name is my name too. Whenever we go out The people always shout There goes John Jacob Hickenlooper Schmidt..." Let's see how long that earworm stays stuck in your head...
