The Politico/Morning Consult poll showed 44 percent of independent voters backed the impeachment inquiry, a 4-point jump from last week’s poll.

not sure you can call a 4-point move a "jump", especially with margin of error. plus, the overall line remained the same

In two polls a week apart, four points is fairly significant movement. It could be an outlier to your point, but I would be more suspect of a poll reflecting an eight point jump in a week becay people don't pivot quite that fast.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you. Great job. Anybody? Anybody? Final — final — Kellyanne? How about Kellyanne?

MS. CONWAY: Mr. President, thank you —

THE PRESIDENT: She’s always very laidback and shy. (Laughter.)

MS. CONWAY: I’ll be laidback. Thank you. I think the women speak for itself. And thank you for your leadership. We really look forward to continuing the celebration of the Centennial of the Women’s Right to Vote. We go right up into next August of 2020. But it’s even hard to imagine it’s only been 100 years. And since we still have had — never had any female President, perhaps we’ll have that in our lifetime, but your victory kept that job open. So we’re here to celebrate —

THE PRESIDENT: In five years, right? (Laughter.) Five years.

PARTICIPANT: Or longer. (Laughter.)

MS. NANCE: Yeah, we can wait.

You cannot make this sh*t up.

After being presented with the fact that a Pentagon official just told @ABC that Conan is FEMALE, a White House official tells us that the WH is still standing by its story that Conan is MALE (as Trump said). The official would not go on the record. https://t.co/XR63R0SD1l

I know its easy to laugh at dumb shit like this but the way everyone in this administration just needlessly chips away at reality is seriously evil

As President Trump’s White House battles impeachment, he turned to a familiar face last week: Mark Penn, one of President Bill Clinton’s top strategists.

Penn came to the Oval Office for more than an hour last Monday, three people familiar with the meeting said, and brought polling data and impeachment advice for the president. Penn reassured Trump that he wouldn’t be removed from office, according to people familiar with the meeting, and encouraged him to travel the country like Clinton did when he was fighting impeachment over 20 years ago, officials said.

Vice President Pence and counselor Kellyanne Conway were also present for the meeting, where Diet Cokes were served.

Would loooooooove to see him talk to a large assemblage of people without the presence of anyone to respond to his inevitable entreaties of 'GET HIM OUT, GET HIM OUT'. Like the notion of him not being able to instantaneously eradicate face-to-face dissent or criticism...how would he even function?

during the second resurrection, there were some that refused to understand the truth of Lord Trump, Christ reborn. they crept up from the deep state and allied with their treasonous lovers, the fake news media. but Lord Trump in his infinite mercy chose not to destroy them on the spot, and instead collapsed into a pile of dust, vanishing as mysteriously and strangely as he came.

A little anecdote re: this Gallagher asshole. I was in an airport a couple of weeks ago chatting to a young Navy kid from Texas heading home for leave. He told me he enlisted to help with college, iirc, and joked that some of his fellow Navy recruits made fun of him for enlisting to help pay for education. "Better to say that you enlisted to pay for education than to say you enlisted because you wanted to kill people, right?" I asked (probably not those exact words, but close.) "Oh, man," he said (I paraphrase), "those are the Navy SEALS. They're crazy." He said you could pick them out on base, and that you would give them a real wide berth, because they were huge and mean.

Awesome stuff. Glad my country spend $640 billion per year on the military.

to the credit of the seals, they were the ones who turned over gallagher. he isn't representative of the seals. he reflects the values of trump.

treeship., Wednesday, 27 November 2019 03:01 (four years ago) link

I think the kid I was talking to, in his own way, was trying to convey that they are an entirely different class of soldier from the average recruit.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 04:51 (four years ago) link

I have gotten to know a 50ish retired seal over the past few years and he is basically my hero. Such a cool guy, conservative politics and Catholicism aside. I tell my
son don’t even think about dating his daughter - dude will snap you in two in a second if he feels so inclined.

Like part of me recognizes that we need to burn this era into our brains and never forget how far we've fallen but there's definitely another part that just wants to see the entire Trump tenure get the full Akhenaten treatment.

I was pretty disgusted by the university sting until I read later in the article that the students had continued to pay despite there being no staff and no classes, i.e. they were enrolled for the visa status and not to learn anything.
