― rob

Bobby Valentine floated as ambassador to Japan

but executive power! Treaties annexing sovereign nations! There's a lesson in Tyler for Trump.

cia report says russia intervened to get trump elected

welp,

...

How could that be possible? What were the hacks then?

Ohhhh

I misread your post.

Yeah, glad they admit it

hopefully that link works, wapo actively pasting it on top of the one about obama calling for an inquiry

Kellyanne Conway sees no difference between Trump executive-producing a network TV show and Obama playing golf: "Presidents have a right to do things in their spare time."

She strikes me as a bad person.

CIA is good to have around so they can corroborate the stuff Josh Marshall figures out during his coffee time

the needle slipped and botoxed her conscience xp

(xposts) I can't figure her out. I think she had a relatively okay reputation prior to this election, she'll occasionally say something dryly amusing, and the new SNL running joke is that she's as embarrassed by Trump as the other side is. She doesn't give any indication of that, though.

she's a garbage human being who sucks

that didn't take long to calculate

el tomboto otm

i wouldn't take the running SNL joke as proof of anything. they're giving her more credit than is due. you are correct, she is a garbage person

Kate McKinnon is an American treasure but she makes all her caricature subjects endearing, which is a problem when it comes to Kellyanne, who is a gaslighting propagandist

Do y'all know who Kellyanne Conway's husband is? If you followed the Clinton impeachment hearings, George Conway was one of Santa's elves, i.e. Paula Jones' advisor. She's married to a GOP troll/ratfucker.

WaPo not fucking around with drawing inferences:

In a secure room in the Capitol used for briefings involving classified information, administration officials broadly laid out the evidence U.S. spy agencies had collected, showing Russia’s role in cyber-intrusions in at least two states and in hacking the emails of the Democratic organizations and individuals.

And they made a case for a united, bipartisan front in response to what one official described as “the threat posed by unprecedented meddling by a foreign power in our election process.”

The Democratic leaders in the room unanimously agreed on the need to take the threat seriously. Republicans, however, were divided, with at least two GOP lawmakers reluctant to accede to the White House requests.

According to several officials, McConnell raised doubts about the underlying intelligence and made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.

McConnell’s office did not respond to a request for comment. After the election, Trump chose McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, as his nominee for transportation secretary.

Mitch McConnell is the diarrhea on the seat.

(xposts) I can't figure her out

she's a terrible person who wanted a white supremacist to win

GOP has no sense of actual patriotism

mcconnell's actions would be astonishing if they weren't so in character.

Curious this comes out on Friday night.

mitch mconnell everyone

motherfucker

I can't think of anything productive that can be done w this info from the CIA tbh. GOP's not gonna prosecute the guy that brought them to power.

And I'm not sure there's anything he could be prosecuted on to begin with

#neverpudzer trending among MAGAs now. interesting/sad/funny/? to see how many people took his pro-worker claims at face value.

The words i'd use are fucked up and ridiculousz

This was the most obviously telegraphed con in the history of cons.

Words that come to my mind are "dumb" and "hicks"

Kate McKinnon is an American treasure but she makes all her caricature subjects endearing, which is a problem when it comes to Kellyanne, who is a gaslighting propagandist

SNL has a long tradition of making politicians look more lovable and human than they really are

everything about the fuckin' guy is an obviously telegraphed con! Anyone who watches the asshole talk and doesn't realize he's a sloppy hustler who just makes shit up and only ever says things that are true by accident is a goddamned moron. It's always been clear as day to anybody with a lick of fucking sense.

If he's such a con and so sloppy and an asshole, then why is he super rich and you are not? Huh? Didn't think so. And now he will make us all rich, except you, loser. Enjoy your off brand steaks, I'll be sitting sweet in the NBC/WWF/FBI suite.

And of course, right on schedule, this CIA report is what Trump supporters are dismissing as fake news, the rhetorical equivalent of "no, you're the puppet!"

yeah, there's nothing "treasurable" about Lorne Michaels' minions making people think the shit they do is satire.

"Among the political figures Conway has worked for are Congressman Jack Kemp; Senator Fred Thompson; former Vice President Dan Quayle; Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; and Congressman (now Indiana Governor and Vice President-elect) Mike Pence."

In light of this, suggesting she's bad because she married bad is off in a number of ways.

Idk man if I was married to someone who led organizations that spread vile fake news -- as george conway does -- i would fucking divorce them

Just like if i had a spouse who turned out to be a serial killer on the side

Luckily with KC you don't need to look to her husband to criticize her. She helped elect a fascist to the white house

Between Russian hacking and the nearly 3 million popular vote deficit, isnt this like exactly the situation the EC was designed to prevent?
