You can't make that up...

 

How pathetic that this guy is grandstanding so he can get more clout at Faux News. And even more pathetic - he's going to be replaced when he leaves by Gowdy Doody, who has already shown he can't investigate anything beyond the content of his ear.

How many ways can 45 embarrass us during this Middle East trip?

Do men like Biden and Sanders really believe the way to the presidency is continuing to attack Hillary Clinton or prop themselves up as saviors?. Seriously. For people who want to move on, these white men can't stop talking about it. You know I was actually proud Obama stepped forward in 2014 and acknowledged women have a tougher time than men, over black men.  Why do people like Biden want to take us back. I can respect his service and much of the heartache due to the tragedies in his life, I also remember he WROTE the disastrous Clinton Crime Bill. I also am old enough to remember how he along with the parade of white men in the senate, lambasted Anita Hill. Hearings that aired on TV and led to 6 women getting voted into the senate in 1992.

You know, I feel kind of sorry for Bob Beckel.  He just seems like a hopeless mess.

 

"Lambasted" is almost too nice of a word to describe what they did to Anita Hill.  I believed then, and I believe now, that not even a WHITE woman would have been subjected to such shameful mistreatment from our elected leaders.  Moreover, it's one thing to say you're basically lying about being sexually harassed, but that committee made Anita look like an opportunist (when really, I don't think she ever wanted to come forward, and certainly not on live TV) and a homely wallflower who should have been thrilled to have ANY man pay her that kind of attention.

I love Joe but Lawd knows he has a history of shooting off his mouth.

And yet, I would take his shooting off at the mouth over Trump's any day of the week.

 

Don't know if anyone posted these stories but...

 

House leaders fear that more meetings might be secretly recorded. 

 

ALSO

 

Lindsay Graham has finally concluded that the Russia probe is now a criminal investigation.

Like I've been saying all along, it must be difficult as hell for all the comedy shows to find grist for the satire mill in TrumpCo. when they are just too absurd on their own.

Me too. The thing about Biden is, he's already run for President and didn't get any traction. That was before the right wing noise machine.

 

The shade is real here. (See above Twitter post.)

So Trump calls Comey a "Nut Job"??? Really?!  Pot calling kettle black here.

 

So now the Israelis will probably use Trump's poor judgement and big mouth as leverage against him.  For years the Middle East peace process was stalled and got no traction. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump managed to move things BACKWARD.

 

FP: Israeli intel officers were shouting at US officials in mtgs, furious Trump may have compromised a vital source https://t.co/r3WLUBbQTd pic.twitter.com/wFUK1vYiPc
