US Politics, March 2018: Why do people leave the White House for good?

Louise Slaughter was the first congressperson I ever got to vote for and is still the best congressperson I ever got to vote for.

Here's my take: I look forward to the GOP Tape Party's massive losses in the midterms

Getting very circular here.

Scoop: Kelly says Trump probably contributing to staff chaos stories https://t.co/wjlRDIf95l

"probably"

"Probably" is basically the answer to any question about Trump that may reflect poorly on the man.

"Is Trump a racist?"
"Is he a moron?"
"Did he cheat on his wife?"

Probably.

He's a bitch, he's a loser, he's a child, he's a user, he's a sinner, he's a taint, he does not feel ashamed.

Probably.

yea by this point I'm convinced he's still doing the "John Barron" shit and in some cases I'm sure he's doing it just so he can do the opposite and yell "FAKE NEWS"

yeah I have zero doubt he is a major source

at least the roman empire had lead poisoning to explain why their citizens got dumber, what's america's excuse

I just listened to an interview with the author of a Generation of Sociopaths, and he mentioned that there was a lot of lead paint around when the baby boomers were children.

^^reading this right now

I remember the lead-paint PSAs very well.

do u?

yea by this point I'm convinced he's still doing the "John Barron" shit and in some cases I'm sure he's doing it just so he can do the opposite and yell "FAKE NEWS"

pooper scoopers

This lawyer knows how to do the slow and steady doling out of info.

My eyebrow, it arches.

Vanessa Trump hires criminal defense attorney for Donald Jr. divorce https://t.co/00eJwn6v1L

GOD I HATE HIS FACE SO MUCH

Update on that:

1. So the Page 6 story that Vanessa Trump hired a "criminal defense attorney" is BS.

I looked into it and David Feureisen does as much civil work as criminal work and regularly handles divorce cases in New York pic.twitter.com/j6yk5yEsuC

The Pirro angle, whatever its significance, is fun.

@MichaelAvenatti: How can President Donald Trump seek $20 million in damages against my client based on an agreement that he and Mr. Cohen claim Mr. Trump never was a party to and knew nothing about? #notwellthoughtout #sloppy #checkmate

Isn't there just one Dem billionaire who'd foot the bill for her to spill all the beans regardless? What use is your $900 billion, Soros?

she doesn't need soros; she and her lawyer are playing the game very well

I love this tweet. Why? Because this two years ago this Friday (3/16/16), I was humbled and honored to be nominated to the SCOTUS by @POTUS44. @GOP refused to even meet with me. https://t.co/lrbeYwr3wH

Someone should truck bomb the Senate imo

Too many innocent bystanders.

fuck year merrick garland

if i ever get a chance to spit in mcconnell's face i'm gonna spit "MERRICK GARLAND IN YOUR FACE" right in his face

I'd like to make some turtle soup outta this bitch

I don’t generally eat eyeballs, especially not human eyeballs. But when I do, I make it a Mitch McConnell eyeball and crunch down with pleasure

Why did Garland tweet that? He will shame no one.

We sure that's him? It isn't verified.

it's Trump

Yeah....it looks fake

well now this cornea just tastes a bit off

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe Is Fired 2 Days Before Retirement

so the don jr divorce is an asset shielding move right?

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbi-deputy-director-fired-days-retirement-kick/story?id=53805919

"The FBI’s OPR then reviewed the report and underlying documents and issued a disciplinary proposal recommending the dismissal of Mr. McCabe. Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor - including under oath - on multiple occasions," the statement continued.

"The FBI expects every employee to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability. As the OPR proposal stated, “all FBI employees know that lacking candor under oath results in dismissal and that our integrity is our brand,” Sessions said.

lol didn't this dude perjure himself before congress

I'm not surprised, but this is a gross, low move.

dang, mccabe!

https://i.imgur.com/zSkxySo.png

i think he'll be fine in the end - it's easy for me to imagine the next administration, whoever runs it, quickly arranging to get him lost pension money.

but yeah, it's just petty and so trump

Not even the next admin, though that could happen -- that guy just scored one hell of a book deal, whenever it happens.

so the don jr divorce is an asset shielding move right?

I keep seeing a lot of claims about that but I haven't seen anything actually spelling it out in a 'here's the law, here's the deal' move. Is there one out there?

I am wondering how he survived in real estate. The mafia doesn't take kindly to panic.
