Trumps tweets today say someone (Rosenstein?) told him to fire Comey. The buck stops with the Deputy AG?

You're missing a set of parentheses. Donald said in a TV interview the day after the firing that he didn't pay any attention to ((Rosenstein)), so it must be someone else.

You guys are gonna be so bored with the next president :)

That would be wonderful. I have been hoping for US politics to be boring for decades.

Yep.  Back when people told me Fred Thompson would be a lazy, do-nothing president, that actually increased my support for him.

Boring government doesn't spring out of laziness.  It's a turbulent difficult world, laziness just means things don't get done and everything gets worse.  You want reserved and competent for boring government.

Hopefully President Pence will bring "Fuck You, I'm Millwall" guy on board.

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.

Yeah.  :(  At this point it's not just hate and brainwashing, but also emotional desire to refuse to acknowledge that you were duped by a con artist who secretly has contempt for you.  It's like the victims of pyramid scheme who blame the government for not getting paid back, because it was the government who shut down the pyramid scheme.

Our president.

One should always use a poll average that takes into acount as many polls as possible.

That way you're not influenced by outliers on either side.

Exactly how do you think we should be influenced by polls that aren't outliers?  Are you suggesting that how much contempt each of us has for President Trump should be influenced by his poll numbers?

The question is not about should, it's about could.  Human beings are social animals and do take their cues from others, or at least examine their beliefs more readily if they appear to be out of step with the mainstream.

Morons across the country are sending death threats to Shakespearean theaters because of that one Julius Caesar production in New York  :lol:  :lol:

Quote"First of all, they clearly are not people who have seen the show or been to our theater," said Michael Kahn, artistic director of Shakespeare Theatre Company. "I'm assuming that some letter's gone out to a lot of people, and people got confused and decided to write to different Shakespeare theaters."

Dallas's Parry, whose company opened the summer season this week with a production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor," blamed Web analytics.

"They're just doing a general Google search," he said. "When you Google 'Shakespeare in the Park' in the Texas region, our name pops up first, and they just go to town."
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

They had Obama Caesar when he was President as well. Ironically Right Wing nutjobs were also offended by that.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

I'm sticking with my prediction, so enjoy your summer, people.  It's your last one.

Trump Family Wedding Planner to Head New York's Federal Housing Office


QuoteArmstrong Williams, a close friend of Mr. Carson's, did not confirm the appointment but did say that Ms. Patton had earned the trust of Mr. Carson after organizing his listening tour in several cities. Mr. Williams also said Ms. Patton "is a very honest person."

"She never told Dr. Carson that she went to Yale," Mr. Williams said, contradicting the Daily News story, which said she had padded her résumé with a Yale law degree she never earned. "She has always been candid that she never completed law school. Always upfront about that."

But she's black, so she's got to know something about public housing.

I think he's going to pull the trigger and firewall Mueller.
