Good answer! But I have a better one:pearlbeer wrote:Good quote from the call I made to my Congressman this morning. Conversation with a staffer, of course, since my Congressman has not held a Town Hall since 2009:
Staffer: "Sir....Sir! Are you? Are you threatening me with an ethics violation?"
Me: "Yes. Yes, I am."

Don't worry. You haven't seen anything yet. When the shit starts really coming down--soon, now that Jeff Sessions doesn't have Comey to interfere with unleashing the Hounds of Hell on us--you'll be too busy to worry. Too busy to give up. It's tough to let go, you know.pearlbeer wrote:I'm not going to last three more years. I can't take this shit.John A Arkansawyer wrote:Good answer!

A Special Prosecutor* was appointed to investigate Bill Clinton for a blow job. But there seems to be no urgency to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate a foreign adversary tampering with our elections.
*Special Prosecutor Ken Starr was later ousted from a Baptist University for fostering a culture of rape.

After Spicer spent several minutes hidden in the bushes behind these sets, Janet Montesi, an executive assistant in the press office, emerged and told reporters that Spicer would answer some questions, as long as he was not filmed doing so. Spicer then emerged.
"Just turn the lights off. Turn the lights off," he ordered. "We'll take care of this.... Can you just turn that light off?"
Spicer got his wish and was soon standing in near darkness between two tall hedges, with more than a dozen reporters closely gathered around him. For 10 minutes, he responded to a flurry of questions, vacillating between light-hearted asides and clear frustration with getting the same questions over and over again.
Let that sink in for a minute: the chief spokesperson for the president of the United States hid in the bushes, only to emerge after journalists agreed to talk to him in "near darkness."
god damn, I just posted that also. Guess I should have checked the previous page before posting.tinnitus photography wrote:

Those are people who lied, lied

They were all Trump's friends, and they all lied

Now, I will expertly use the unique skills that I was trained in, like close reading and deconstructing the nuances of subtext from sentences, to translate ex-FBI Director Comey’s farewell letter to his colleagues for the masses.
To all:
I DIDN’T EVEN ACTUALLY GET TO SEND THIS TO EVERYONE IN THE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE I WAS SHOVED OUT LIKE A GODDAMNED PARIAH WHO HAD PISSED IN H.R.’S COFFEE SO FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW POST IT ON FREAKIN’ FACEBOOK SO THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER SEES IT PRINT OUT COPIES AND DROP THEM FROM OUR STEALTH SPY AIRPLANES OVER THE AMBER FIELDS OF AMERICA MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
I’M OFFICIALLY NAILING THIS SHIT TO THE CHURCH DOOR LIKE MARTIN LUTHER
I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all.
IN CASE IT’S NOT PERFECTLY CLEAR I’M THE LATTER CASE Y’ALL OR ELSE I WOULDN’T HAVE MENTIONED IT
I’m not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed.
YEAH I’M NOT GONNA GO INTO IT HERE BECAUSE H.R.’S LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER BUT THE FACT THAT I MENTION “THE DECISION” IS MEANT TO BE A BIG RED FLAG CALLING YOUR ATTENTION TO SHITBAG TRUMP’S SHITBAG DECISION
AND THE FACT THAT I ALSO MENTION THE WAY IT WAS EXECUTED IS MEANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THAT MOTHERF–ER DIDN’T EVEN HAVE THE BASIC RESPECT TO CALL ME OR LOOK ME IN THE EYE WHEN HE FIRED ME LISTEN FRIENDS WE TREAT FBI TRAINEES BETTER WHEN WE CATCH THEM DOING SILENCE OF THE LAMBS COSPLAY IN THE QUANTICO DORMS AT NIGHT
LISTEN FRIENDS ENTRY-LEVEL TEMPS GET BETTER TREATMENT THAN YOUR MAN HERE WHO DEDICATED DECADES OF HIS LIFE TO KEEPING THIS GODFORSAKEN COUNTRY SAFE WHILE TRUMP LIVED IN A GOLDEN TOWER HOSTING REALITY TELEVISION SHOWS AND GRABBING PUSSIES YOU BEST BELIEVE YOU BETTER SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS WAS HANDLED EVEN TOTAL FAILURES GET A HEADS-UP FIRST AND I’M STILL WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT SEVERANCE FROM H.R.
I hope you won’t either.
I HOPE YOU WILL

On a smaller scale, it means that petty drug offenders will get harsher sentences rather than milder ones, and the prison industrial complex starts cashing the checksJohn A Arkansawyer wrote:Once the five-star General Attorney Sessions unleashes the Hounds of Hell, who is going to stop him?pearlbeer wrote:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/us/p ... .html?_r=0

Jeff Sessions Issues “Moral and Just” Policy Requiring Prosecutors to Seek the Harshest Sentence Possible
I have had nightmares about what would happen when the Republicans got ahold of both the NSA and the Justice Department. Now they are about to come true, probably about the same time President Pence takes office. Real Soon Now.
He won't start with RICO prosecutions against blue-state governments which have legalized medical marijuana, but he'll get there faster than you will expect.
You think in too small a scale. Very few petty drug offenders are moving at a federal level. Those are state and local prosecutions.Zip City wrote:On a smaller scale, it means that petty drug offenders will get harsher sentences rather than milder ones, and the prison industrial complex starts cashing the checksJohn A Arkansawyer wrote:Once the five-star General Attorney Sessions unleashes the Hounds of Hell, who is going to stop him?pearlbeer wrote:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/us/p ... .html?_r=0

I'm hoping they don't impeach Trump, because he's such a loose cannon. The longer he stays in, the better it is for you and me and us and the whole fucking world. If he's replaced with anyone with even half a clue, we'll be in even deeper shit than we already are. And I'm having a little trouble catching my breath just now.Tequila Cowboy wrote:If they eventually impeach Trump, and I have my doubts, it won't be President Pence, it will be President Ryan. Trump has made sure that Pence is in as deep as the rest of them.
Nah, the GOP will have fucked themselves 6 ways to Thursday if they have to impeach him. My grave, and very real concern, is that if there is a terrorist attack no matter how small Trump will declare martial law and then we really are fucked.John A Arkansawyer wrote:I'm hoping they don't impeach Trump, because he's such a loose cannon.

That's a very real possibility. His frenemies in Russia, who are the descendants of the KGB, would have no problem taking care of that little detail for him. They probably won't tell him--unless that's what the meeting was about this week--because they probably plan to target near enough to him that it'll look real.Tequila Cowboy wrote:My grave, and very real concern, is that if there is a terrorist attack no matter how small Trump will declare martial law and then we really are fucked.
That's a nice Reichstag you got there, would hate for something to happen to it.Tequila Cowboy wrote:Nah, the GOP will have fucked themselves 6 ways to Thursday if they have to impeach him.

I may have been reading too many of the links posted in this thread, but I'm figuring Trump's declaration of martial law at some point as being pretty much inevitable.Tequila Cowboy wrote:My grave, and very real concern, is that if there is a terrorist attack no matter how small Trump will declare martial law and then we really are fucked.
