    I bet Rudy's breath is atrocious. Rotting limburger in an old tennis show.

    I'm sure the WH is calculating the negative impact of televised hearings, but you have to wonder if there are other indiscretions that might be revealed by further testimony? Mueller did say that some evidence was destroyed, so he couldn't list everything that happened.

    This tweet has held up pretty well...

    Memorial Day break will take more air out of the Ds' balloon and burn another week for Trump.

    Oh okay. I misunderstood your original post: "Yeah. There's kind of a low grade consensus that if they let him get away with whatever he wants, at some point, a competent Democratic administration is going to take full advantage of that." I tend to agree with BiffTannen that the Rs would change whatever rules were in the way of them taking on a D president.

    At this point, I think a lot of Rs are corrupt crooks who are compromised in one way or another. I'm sure there are some Ds that fall into that category too. Maybe so many Congress members are corrupt that DC is not salvageable? There might not much truth to it, but the Ds' inaction could be seen as a tacit recognition that their side cheats too and that they don't want to make things too tough for the next D president (like Bates said).

    That's kind of depressing. Downward spiral continues to accelerate. What would you say the odds are of the Ds starting an impeachment inquiry?

    I think this guy does a good job with his videos.

    ^ if the rules haven't fully changed yet, they are quickly getting there. AOC's comments are more in line with future elections/voters than Pelosi's. I don't think younger voters are going to put up with the lawlessness that this WH has embraced.

    The Ds in the House are going to have to fight to get their message out. They're going to have to bring every one of the people you mentioned in front of a committee for extended questioning.

    As vexing as bureaucracy can be, it also comes with a shit ton of institutional knowledge that can be used to serve average Americans. It's just not possible to have a 1.00 batting average at hiring people who are as messed up as their boss in the WH. Have we crossed the Rubicon, and from here on out, we're only going to have shitty pols in DC? Has the voting public become so imbecilic that they'll continue to support tyrants like we currently have?

    I'm sure most of these jobs are very challenging if you go into them with the goal of creating a culture of excellence. Most of them require a lot of hard work if you're going to do your job well. But with the bureaucracy that's in place (in a good way), you have the tools to do your job. The Trump WH thumbed its nose at most of the transition materials and resources that different agencies had prepared.

    You could plug a reasonably bright college graduate or a successful business owner into Carson's position, and that person would have made a more impressive appearance than Carson did today. The normal person would spend time learning about his job and the people that depend on him performing well.

    Mind the gap tho.

    We're so screwed. No words for that tweet.

    I would be interested in a learning songs thread too. ^

    There seems to be an inherent expectation of comity and etiquette in DC, even if it's just superficial. You see in in politicians and journalists. I don't want to be that guy/gal to step over the line b/c I want to keep my job. I think the Ds can call Trump out for what he and his administration are, and I think they can do it in a civil and forceful manner. A message of this is not who we are.

    He'll learn all the acronyms once he gets his office set up. Takes time.

    20 years ago, he would have been impeached on publicly available information.
  24. retread
    The Ds have an opportunity to stand for the rule of law, and they better find a way to make that loud and clear to the public. Start impeachment hearings tomorrow.

    This is not the Mueller that we looked at in the show room.
