1. Good move

Keep up the pressure, keep it on from all sides. Trump isn't doing too well these last few days, even after his star-spangled salute to himself. Everything seems to be getting under his skin.

11. You can't say that the Dems act with haste.

But this is nonetheless a great move. Equally poignant is the reframing of MAGA to MAWA. They must have had a consulting session with George Lakoff. Sounds like his work. But really, it's just basic framing skills. We nonetheless need to see more of this.

13. We sure do! Weaponized messaging. It's what we need.

And our Dems just aren’t as good or shrewd at it as the bad guys are. They’re great at selling shit. Our team has difficulty with that.


So then, what does THAT tell you?

2. I hope they stay with it.

This could be momentous.

It could be a massive strike against those people.

10. I don't care how low it takes... nail those bastards

12. I don't see any action done with recklessness and don't perceive the messages

as a journey on the "low road." Barr and Ross are getting what should have hit them weeks ago. Mnuchin should be next. Since criminal contempt is the declaration, the Dems will have to refer the case to... Barr, who, of course, will have to recuse himself. We may get an independent counsel for this.

14. Suuuuuure Barr will recuse himself.

He should. By all rights and decency. But I doubt it.

15. Don't let this disappear in the Trump-Barr fog.
