Friday

Not that we need one, but a quick reminder that Ted Cruz is an asshole. 

Have a good weekend. 

Suspicious Financial Deals? You Don't Say...

Jeez, I'm convinced the only reason TFG's getting away with wholesale laundering of foreign/Russian cash is that any decent investigation would probably uncover a lot of similar dealings by a large number of others...

To which I'd say, bring it on. 

I don't bleed Democratic blue. 

They get my vote solely for being lesser of evils, and not by much. 

Well-Trained

Almost like he's on a string. 

Or several. 

Lickspittle Had A Few, Too

You can expect the GOP to mostly ignore this, and the political press will follow suit, because the GOP essentially controls them. 

My own .0000002 cents is to cite Paul Krugman. He's on the record with this from some time ago, and again today said too much material is routinely classified. In a democracy, the burden should be on concealing instead of revealing. 

That said, there is a difference between what That Florida Guy did and, as far as we can tell, the circumstances for Lickspittle and Dark Brandon. 

But...in a political sense, the damage was done and can't be undone. 

The lazy Beltway hacks made it a both sides/optics story. 

As for as the wingers are concerned, that's Mission Accomplished. 

And Lickspittle will soon fade away into some minor wingnut welfare sinecure...

Time For The Empty Box Again

You'd think the Thoughts & Prayers crowd would've gotten the message some dozen or two mass shootings ago. 

Nope.
