My favorite line from Fire and Fury - So Far

Page 118:

"What's more, Bannon found (Paul) Ryan, in theory the House's policy whiz, to be slow-witted if not incompetent, and an easy and constant target of Bannon's under-his-breath ridicule."

Explains a lot about what is going on in the House of Representatives. Or what's NOT going on. So Ryan (with deeply furrowed brow) is an idiot!

Can a sitting Senator or, say, a Speaker of the House

be indicted by a Special Prosecutor? If said prosecutor happens to find evidence of illegal foreign campaign contributions?

Asking for a friend.

And wouldn't that be delicious! This housecleaning process needs to go deep.

So Trump DID show up in London!

Thanks to Madame Tussauds! This is hilarious! Love the workers taking pictures. Note the extra long red tie?

Something Wicked This Way Comes....

Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray had a meeting with Paul Ryan this afternoon in Ryan's office.

We have heard lots of prognostications about big stuff about to hit the fan. This sounds like it's going in that direction.

This madness must stop.

Rachel's last segment tonight

It looks like Father Pence may have a Russian problem too! His spokesman wouldn't answer a direct question about whether ol' Mikey had ever met with any Russians. On Fox no less!

To quote the Ferret, shit be cray!

Thoughtful piece by TPM

Josh Marshall looks at the Trump-Kushner problems from a different angle. Very interesting read.

The last paragraph is particularly good.

"A big federal investigation like this is like a broad lava flow. It moves slowly but it is unstoppable. It burns and crushes things in its wake. And things too big or unburnable it just covers over. The little antics and PR gambits mainly do not matter. Key players in this mix don’t seem to appreciate that."

Georgia congressional election challenged

The Coalition for Good Governance is suing to have the recent Ossoff-Handel election overturned because of the electronic voting machines!

I would add the link, but I am electronically challenged. Washington Post.

We need 100% paper ballots nationwide.

Rachel rocked it tonight!

She took us through the entire thread of the Mike Flynn story. Day after day. And then it became a rope that she hung around Mike Pence's neck. Isn't it true that people who lie look down and to the right? Now go watch Pence's interview with Brett Beyer on Fox when he insisted that this day was the first he had ever heard of Flynn's international issues. Awesome!
