Of those folks?  Goodbye Bolton.

QuoteSanders is loyal to Trump's vision for the country because she shares it. When she may disagree on a personal level, her loyalty is motivated by a long game that holds Trump as a useful tool. Sander's evangelical faith is her lodestar; according to her husband, Bryan Sanders, "she liked what he was saying about abortion and religious liberty, as well as the types of judges he was promising to appoint, including to the Supreme Court."

Ooh, a jezebel.com article.  Too bad xojane isn't active anymore.

I know people in the White house intentionally imitate each other's speech patterns when leaking to the press.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Minsky is making fun of Tim by saying this means this writer at jezebel.com is the leak! Not that we should read a jezebel.com article. Fuck Spicey. Try to catch up before you knee-jerk.

Really I'm just making fun of the whole mole hunt hysteria, like everyone else.  I don't even know what jezebel is.

But xojane is my lodestar.

That is, indeed, one of the worst articles ever written.

The Minsky Moment

What people need to understand when Trump says crap about "stronger libel laws" is that the reason why libel cases are hard to bring in the US has little to do with the content of the libel law itself (which in most states is just inherited from English common law). It's because the First Amendment sharply circumscribes that body of law and how it can be applied.

the only way to make it easier to sue for libel is to scrap, ignore or amend the Constitution.

Tim means appointing more than 9 justices.

Yeah, there's no constitutional mandate that there be nine justices.

Although, dems might be able to nail Kavanaugh on perjury if they flip the house.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Sure, right after they try Jeff Sessions for forgetting his meetings with Russian ambassador.

Do they have emails of Session discussing that meeting? Do they have motive to do so as long as he recuses himself from the Mueller investigation? No and no.

How is the situation of the two men in anyway similar?

The emails have been released by the senate dems and they directly and clearly contradict Kavanaugh's sworn testimony.
