That's 'loyalty' for you.

Poll: Democrat opens up 7-point lead in Georgia special election hill.cm/23gyVCd

I have to admit that I haven't turned on the TV yet this morning. I just don't think I can handle Scrotus' 'mouthpieces' yammering on and on about how 'vindicated' he is and what a 'leaker' Comey is. Yes, I know it will be pointed out that he's wrong, and I know he's wrong but I'm so tired of hearing things that make me doubt this will ever be dealt with.

I think I just woke up in a despairing mood after a bad night's sleep. I need to buck my own ideas up and persist. We ARE "Stronger together" and I AM a "Nasty Woman".

I ordered a mug online a while back and it arrived today. It reminded me of this thread...

We should stop talking about obstruction of justice. No plausible case. We must distinguish crimes from pol sins

You'll be OK, Across. We all have a 'dark night of the soul', occasionally. (And at least it proves that you have one. )

Thanks Ginger. Could someone remind me - how long would the incoming representative serve for? Until the midterms?

Maddow points out that Jeff Sessions is scheduled to give public testimony in the Senate at 10 am on Tuesday 13 June on an unrelated budget matter.

I'm not sure why she's excited about this - does it mean he can be questioned? About... other stuff? Like the meetings he had with Russians, as Comey discussed in closed session yesterday.

Slightly off topic, but I noticed in some of the replays of Comey's testimony that at one point he said "it was I"; I do love a man who knows how to use the nominative case.

Telling a friend your unclassified recollections isn't a leak. It's Comey's absolute right as a free person to talk to whomever he wants.

I can't believe there is a debate about whether a private citizen can tell their friend something unclassified. Is this East Germany?

Silly. DJT knew protocol well enough to attack, rally after campaign rally, the breach of "protocol" in Clinton's tarmac meeting with Lynch

If you have a person who is good at posing questions, Perking......

Please let his lawyer file a complaint. Please. He hasn't thought it through. (Or it was 'someone else's' idea.)

I love that mug... also to a PP's point about the Trump kids all looking very well coiffed but very creepy, is it possible they've all got hideously grotesque portraits locked away somewhere a la Dorian Grey?

I don't know enough about the Tea Party to compare, Across, but someone on another thread's just described the DUP as having "a manifesto that is basically the bible with added bin collections".

The DUP in a nutshell. Scary

Yes, probably I shouldn't have grinned, as the wording may be cute but the implications bloody aren't.

Speaker Paul Ryan says FBI director needs to be independent, says Trump unfamiliar with protocol, `just new to this'

And no one thought of telling him that it was not appropriate to put pressure on the FBI regarding the Russia investigation at any point?

There's a reason he had these chats with Comey alone, and that was not unfamiliarity with protocol...

A Staten Island tête-à-tête.

No worries Perking . They sound like a load of nutjobs! to use Donald's favourite word

Noofly, could you share a link to where you bought that mug? I want one too!

DUP - veery conservative (small C). Appeals to bible bashers. Thinks gayness is a condition you can be cured from through therapy, hates gay marriage, opposes abortion vehemently. Scandal a few years ago because Iris Robinson (wife of then DUP first minister Peter Robinson) but a DUP councillor in her own right, had an affair with a 19 year old boy (she was mid-60s at the time IIRC) and awarded council contracts or some such to his fledgeling business. She was a big-wig at the local fundamentalist church . Known locally as swish family Robinson because at that stage as a family they were getting about £600k per year from the tax payer through all of their double jobbing. They are just awful.
