  • If the govt shuts down on Dec. 8 it'll be the first govt shutdown when the same Party controls the WH , the House, and the Senate.

    But of course, it will be the fault of Democrats if it happens. Even though the Republicans can literally pass a bill without a single Dem vote.

      Anyone have a way around the WSJ paywall? Kinda want to read their new story on Flynn and his promotion of a nuclear plant deal in the Middle East that would have possibly benefited himself and most definitely a bunch of former business partners. He got as far as drafting a proposal for Trump to sign

      There's a summary below but the actual story would be better

      Michael Flynn had his Middle East nuclear power plan prepped for presidential approval by staffers at the National Security Council, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Flynn’s plan to promote…


      Flynn's lawyer (who cut off all communication with Trump's lawyers) met with the Mueller team yesterday.

      • Give Murdoch money? He's in the top ten, along with Scalia and Cheney.

          • Another article on Flynn and the creepy details about his various foreign deals that are slowly emerging. As the article notes, Flynn's misdeeds increasingly look a lot bigger than simply filling out paperwork incorrectly. This Zarrab guy has flipped and if he knows things about Flynn...yeesh.

            I'll say right now that there's nothing to incriminate Trump in here, other than his judgment.

            This may not be surprising. Or it’s not out of the blue. But it’s worth taking stock of the recent round of stories about disgraced National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and what those stories…

                That's alright. I got the gist of it.

                • Trump now telling some people that he thinks the Access Hollywood tape may have been 'faked'. (He apologized for it last year and called it mere locker room talk, you'll recall).

                  He thinks the Mueller probe will be over by the end of the year (I have brilliant lawyers- the best!)

                  Approval ratings are 'fake'.

                  No President has had so many accomlishments in 70 years

                  “He creates his own reality and lives in his own reality and tries to bend reality around himself and his own deep narcissistic needs,” said Peter Wehner, a veteran of three Republican administrations and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. “But, of course, in the end reality wins out, and trying to disfigure it or reinterpret it doesn’t work.”

                    You can get 2 months for $1. But you stay vigilant against the WSJ wanting to be paid -something- for their content.

                            • A piece of technological advice, a lot of these paywall sites are not all that very robust. They use cookies as their authenticating method, it's very simple to get around them if you want to. WSJ is uses cookies as well but not in the same way.
