  1. my hope -- and actually my expectation -- is that the next couple of generations will grow out from under that bullshit. not all children of these people take the medicine. i didn't. with the right encouragement and knowing what the problem is now, my belief is the next generations will have their problems like all generations do but they'll start to retire this lunacy.
  2. hal, lee, lou, and yuh, brother. pree chit.
  3. i don't begin to believe that 30% is homogeneous. there is a wing of very sick people and a wing of people who are influenced to participate but aren't internally set. between is an amalgam of varying natures, but the most reasonable of those people may abandon that group when it is clear they are capable of great noise but mostly only that. i'm guessing 20% tops is untouchables. country can get along nicely with them back to muttering and shaking fists at the clouds. my hope is that with this issue exposed, it can no longer fester and reproduce in the dark corners.
  4. this is the setting for a new party of centrists. that outfit can walk away with it.
  5. the gop is behaving as though they haven't been exposed. they seem to think they can do their old slimey tricks and nobody will notice. different world now.
  6. yes, indeed. this is what i am talking about. it is a family matter, and i believe it is of very long history.
  7. firing mueller or rosenstein would set off a firestorm that is merely bubbling right now. it might be the perfect setting for mueller to spring the rest of the trap.
  8. my theory of the problem begins in the 1600s. i think a significant part of our population descends from a large number of people who were treated very badly, and some elements of the resulting nature have been carefully handed down over the centuries. people who have had to live for generations in very dangerous situations under the thumbs of hateful people develop very serious issues of paranoia. take the sicilians or the romani peoples. they develop extremely strong reliance on each other and reluctance to mix with other people in an ordinary sense. my belief is that there is a deep illness that probably has no solution. i don't know what we do. my hope is that the younger generations will recognize this issue that my generation never knew existed. hopefully they will find a way to deal with it.
  9. i'm wondering if mueller is waiting for trump to step into that trap.
  10. this conversation is going to be comical when we start getting real numbers.
  11. how 'bout the piedmont region west of lake baikal? great fishing 6 mo out of the year, and ooooh that smoked omul. make you smack your mama.
  12. by, bulk of the gop, my assumption here is you mean the rank and file gopper. not to include much, most, or maybe all of the leadership that has been in bed with this all along.
  13. yes, there's been a good deal of talk but no movement.
  14. yes, this seems pretty sudden. i wonder if he doesn't have some idea how often his name appears in cohen's junk. no, not that junk.
  15. could you trot one past before we commit?
  16. that man's nuts are is a jar in moscow. that's what he needs to worry about.
  17. i think you have got it exactly right. yes, indeed. think back when comey was fired. at that time it was all about potus, and the investigation was probably weeks from the big climax. but comey got the ax and mueller got tabbed to go after whatever he could turn up. immediately the whole game changed. many, many who get pole-axed by this investigation will want to draw and quarter said potus after the dust settles. he got everybody into the mix. if for no other reason this country owes potus a debt of gratitude. we'll be a different nation after this is completed.
  18. kerfuffle: n. Chiefly British Informal. a fuss; commotion. you've been reading techdirt, haven't you?
  19. yes, and we are going to see key members of both houses who have proved to be unwilling -- or unable -- to go to bat for the republic hang it up. reason: their time in the barrel is nigh, and the things they've done/have been doing are both kompromat for the rooskies, keeping them in line, and grist for mueller's mill.
  20. dem = 75% - gop = 25% is not a wave
  21. that guy behind the zuck just realized what the lady put in his chair before he sat down.
  22. one question i've had is how sensitive the info has been at cohen's places. i think i know now.
  23. the people involved here are among the highest professionals in the legal circles of this country. the way mueller's team has operated without even wisps of leakage is probably how the entire operation will go.
  24. this in the nyt today from popehat regarding the raid.
  25. indeed. pence would become the next ant under the magnifying glass until he, too, pops. then on to the next. this is going to take a while.
