I agree that Bamz commented to early and often on a lot of things but Kanye/Swift was him getting caught on a hot mic. It's not like he made a statement from the Rose Garden. I agree that the double standard for Trump is glaring. Anytime Obama commented on anything like the death of a celebrity, the Foxbots would always come back with "Why didn't he comment on the death of this other celebrity?" He'd comment on a crime and they would find another crime to say "Why didn't he mention Kate Schindle?" They moved goalposts all over creation for him but Trump gets applause for not pissing himself on stage. The whole administration is a celebration of old white male mediocrity.

I feel like it's going to be a race between Page and Flynn to see who makes a deal first. Of course, depending on what the FBI has on them, a deal might be off the table.

Scrambling Trump is my favorite kind. He'll knows all the best people. Until he doesn't. I love how he mentions Hillary. Dude, you made Bannon cheif strategist after you won. You weren't facing Hillary anymore.

The White House Easter Egg Roll is going to be a disaster.

I try not to body shame but it's nice to see that my eyes haven't been deceiving me.

Getting Bannon out of the White House would be a real victory.

Exactly. Republicans don't negotiate in good faith and shouldn't be treated like they do.

Unfortunately the House investigation moves from Nunes to Reps. Michael Conaway (R-Texas), Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) so it's still as good as dead in the House.

Seriously. This whole thing is just theater with Trump acting like he cares about the Syrian people. The only thing he cares about is figuring out a way to gas people here.

Charles Pierce has been dishing out sense all through this mess.

I dare not hope that this results in O'Reilly's show getting pulled.

That's just him indulging in some reality show theatrics. You can rest assured that money will find its way back to him.

Yeah, it's hard to get excited about the filibuster because it won't change anything.

Sanders supporters love giving him credit for work done by others. That's why they love to say "Bernie's the only one out here fighting for us!" Fortunately I feel like more and more people are finally calling him out for the self-serving, treacherous [!@#$%^&*] he is.

The Senate hearing on the Russian election interference was pretty terrifying. They pretty much stated outright that the reason the interference was so successful is because Trump is a moron.

I moved most of my retirement money into far more conservative funds and took a big chunk of it out of the stock market altogether. It's just a matter of time before this bubble bursts.

The problem is that the whole GOP is complicit in this. None of the normal checks and balances work. The only way we'll see any justice is for members of the intelligence community to leak whatever he's hiding.

You and I see the news narrative very differently. To me, all of the rolling back of regulations is simple spite because the Trumpcare failed but the stories I've been seeing in my feed are about Devin Nunes, Sally Yates and Russia.

Nunes is reminding me of Chris Rock's character in New Jack City.

Early voting in for Tom Price's old seat begins today. I really hope Ossof can win this. It's nice to see Ossoff isn't hurting for money. It's a solidly Republican district but he's polling really well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
