There are loads of other threads. But MN aren't highlighting them. Why not? I demand to know.

A GOP congressman says Democrats are acting the same way they did leading up to Civil War

"Our entire system of government works as long as Americans are talking with each other and not shouting at each other, and that's what makes these times so disturbing and potentially so dangerous. People have stopped talking with each other."

I agree. Now, guess why dialogue is not possible...

"You had riots in the streets in those regions that were controlled by the opposition party. The opposition party refused to accept the outcome of the election or its legitimacy."

People are not questioning the outcome or the legitimacy. They are opposing the actions of the current government. The actions that are against the Constitution and that may lead to a dictatorship.

Funny that he should mention the American Civil War. Good times when Republicans stood for things like Abolition.
These days, GOP would be for slavery.

daily press briefing live (already started I think)

I think that madness has already become the new normal.

Do we need to distinguish normal stuff (spin, defensiveness, sparring, failed missions in Yemen) from EVIDENCE that can get used to impeach the orange one.

I can no longer look at him without seeing Melissa McCarthy,

Sean Spicer is the nine year old in the principal's office who is covering for his troublemaking friend dreaming of the bike ride home.

Oh my actual goodness. Angry Spice is now claiming that Trumps EOs have been widely praised by both sides of the house and that it is of course completly different to the EOs that Obama signed.

Love that Scots video User

I love that the press just kept coming back to his comments about Gorusch. That rattled him.

When I watch those press briefings I always find myself picturing his head slowly expanding and then exploding into pieces at the end. He sort of gives the impression of holding his breath throughout the entire thing.

Sorry if posted earlier.

KA interview by CNN.

Why hasn't Trump tweeted about the mosque attack in Canada?
We're all sad for any loss of life.
But he tweeted about the Louvre, where nobody died.

How can she live with herself?

From the interview:

TAPPER: That's not addressing what I just talked about. What we're talking about is the fact that the White House is waging war on people who are providing information, sometimes risking their lives to do so, saying that nothing we say is true. All of it is fake. I would much rather be talking to you about veterans issues. In fact, when it comes to the Trump administration, I would much rather be covering immigration. I would much rather be covering trade. And I would much rather be covering draining the swamp and counterterrorism.

But instead, every day, there are these sprays of attack and sprays of falsehoods coming from the White House. It would be better if they were not coming from the White House, for me and for you.
