    If only he could get as indignant over children sleeping on concrete floors and getting penalized for losing their lice combs.

    Saw these girls on PBS/Lincoln Center last night. I guess they're still trying to make it (not many Youtube views). Beautiful harmonies.

    People in this administration need to be in hearings before Congress or, better, on trial for their actions.

    Putin probably already had them made and air dropped into Tehran.

    Many/most of these human beings could have been welcomed to the USA and they would have contributed and made our country stronger. The Rs have created a separate, insane reality to which the true believers cling. The voters think that the means justify the ends. The people in power just do it to get off on torturing people. Plain and simple.

    IIRC, children suffering under zero tolerance separations were not allowed to receive hugs from visitors bringing them toys.

    Congrats on the hot wife.

    Like Bolverk has pointed out, the movie Being There is a pretty accurate metaphor for Trump's life and presidency. Our fate depends on what Chauncey Gardiner is watching on TV at any moment.

    He's a world class bitch. Imagine asking your enemies if you can bomb them. The best deals. From above

    I've noticed he's not on CNN much lately. Must have some anger issues.

    The Rs don't rebuild. They reload.

    He's saving Iran for 2020, just like the national emergency at the border. Next year he'll declare Nat'l. Emergency II, The Revenge.

    If the USA survives his play time in the WH, I'm sure that will be on a long list of rules that actually have to be written into law.

    I don't know the right answer to the 50-50 odds. Thinking out loud, the bar should be pretty low for eyebrows being raised when a candidate becomes entangled with a foreign power. I think we all agree the the bulk of the smarts was on the Russian side in this arrangement, while Trump/Manafort/Stone/Cohen certainly knew how to be scumbags and play in the gray area. If a candidate receives foreign help and is elected, it's very difficult for him/her to be removed, as we're experiencing now. Maybe FISA applications for candidates should undergo a different examination with more eyeballs on the approval process? It's sad that this would need to be codified. Whatever the end result, the FBI director or similar doesn't need to be holding ham-handed press conferences to 'clear' certain candidates while staying mum on others. That can't happen ever again.

    Did we ever get clarification on the intel that prompted the initial change in US posture (sending a carrier group closer to Iran)? Was it just that they're enriching uranium at a faster pace?

    I remember when the Nunes memo was released, some Ds and Rs on the HPSCI got to see the unredacted version. IIRC, the Ds refuted the assertion that, without the dossier, the FISA warrant might not have been approved. The D response to Nunes' memo stated that the FBI acted correctly. https://www.npr.org/2018/02/24/588563076/memo-by-house-intelligence-committee-democrats-released-as-nunes-addresses-cpac

    If this episode is a trailer for the movie that will be WWIII, then the movie will be something else. It will be 2023, and cable news will be scratching their heads wondering what Trump's motivations were for insane action #1342. I wonder if he has some super-sensitive intelligence on this? Or maybe one of his advisers has some background info on the problem? No. Just more shit slinging.

    Has it ever been confirmed that the dossier was the primary justiication for the FISAs? I know that was Nunes' narrative that he was trying to push. Carter Page had been contacted by Russians for at least a couple of years before the campaign. The FBI sat down with the Trump campaign and warned them of Russians trying to use them. Then, the campaign had further interactions and told the FBI nothing about it.

    Maybe Hope Hicks finally answered one of his calls and told him to stand down.
