I'm interested to see how the next few months play out.  I guess KH is my choice at this point.  Can we elect a woman right now or will the Bernie Bro types rebel again if we try? I have no idea.  The truth is I'm not super excited about anyone yet. 

I wish these pundits would dispense with the sports analogies.  This is not a game for most of us, it is deadly serious, something many of us were trying to get across in the last presidential election but many ignored.  

I doubt the media has learned anything since then.

Agree.

This is the kind of thing we don't need. Find a Republican to go after ffs.

 

She's really odious. I really hope someone primaries her in two years so she's one and done.

AOC is pushing back on that piece by calling it "gossip," though not strongly enough for my taste and not with a denial.

 

Meanwhile:

 

 

Giuliani told @DanaBashCNN two days ago that for Trump Tower Moscow, "there was a letter of intent to go forward, but no one signed it." False. Don Jr. already told Congress his dad signed the deal. And today, @ChrisCuomo obtained the signed letter itself. https://t.co/YY2dcBMIgH pic.twitter.com/hScKgXAQ86

thank you. I am sick of her now. she acts like she was elected queen.

Some good news.

 

This looks...suspicious.

 

Mnuchin announces that the US is terminating sanctions imposed on Oleg Deripaska's En+ Group and Rusal in 30 days. The move follows a massive influence campaign by the oligarch's lobbyists in DC, plus European diplomats and companies petitioning for the lifting of sanctions pic.twitter.com/SgBS5UDt1m

So true. I wouldn't be ok with this if Democrats were doing it either.

Agree.  Democrats have reclaimed the House, but they won't get any farther than that with such pettiness.

I echo Roman's thank you.

Basically dropped him with one punch. Just took him a few days to admit what had happened.

And the Fed just raised rates.  

 

S&P down 4.8% for the year. If the market doesn’t recover, this will be Wall Street’s worst year since the 2008 financial crisis.

Dow and S&P also down 7% this month – on pace for their worst Decembers since the Great Depression.

🙄 Our leader.

I see that Ken Starr is doing the rounds of cable news. 

 

Someone in the media must really be scared there will be an impeachment to wheel him out. What a surprise he's getting the red carpet.
