You just know that it's not a pretty picture when the former chief of staff describes Trump's White House as-

 

“When you put a snake and a rat and a falcon and a rabbit and a shark and a seal in a zoo without walls, things start getting nasty and bloody,” Priebus says.

 

 

Is 45 the rat or the seal?

No kidding.

This is all terrible, but it's also become so typical that it's tough to react. 

 

Bob Woodward is such a hack and went out of his way to go against Obama because he didn't get enough butt-kissing. I have to admit I automatically tune out anything he says.

Both animals are smarter than he is.

Yep.

Grassley is shook by all the chaos in these hearings.  He is stumbling to get words out.

Ms. Pressley's Congressional seat was once occupied by JFK.

I don't like the comparisons to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  First of all, as a former member of the City Council, Ayanna Pressley has quite a bit more legislative experience than Ocasio-Cortez, for starters.

 

I think the press meant to compare Crowley and Capuano, two relatively popular, heavily endorsed candidates who were defeated after serving long incumbencies in their political careers.

The press is determined to hand Ocasio-Cortez around everyone's neck. If you listen to the two of them talk, it's night and day. Ocasio-Cortez is all about lefty talking points and the moment she has to speak on anything else she goes pear-shaped. Pressley has real experience.

Someone took a picture of one of Kavanaugh's aides flashing a white power symbol as she sat next to Condoleeza Rice.

This country looks so sad and incredibly pathetic right now.

 

EDT:  So now there is a social media debate about 'did she or didn't she?'  in the Congressional hearing. 

Meanwhile Marco Rubio got into a scuffle (mostly verbal) with Alex Jones in the hallway outside of the hearing.

 

This morning a protesting woman sitting in a wheelchair was dragged out with the cameras rolling. 

Now, I understand that the camera is instructed not to show the mostly female protesters as they are being dragged/pushed out by security, so they don't get T.V. time.

 

racists hand gestures or not, this country still looks sad and incredibly pathetic right now.

On eve of Woodward book excerpts, Kushner told Trump he can’t be at war with the establishment if they’re going to survive in DC. My latest:https://t.co/XuLQvDprvk

OK, so the hand signal was fake and I fell for it. I hate when the disinformation trolls get me.
