Probably. We'll see. I just wouldn't like any hopes to be raised unduly over this testimony.

I may be confused, but didn't Kellyanne say earlier that we should look at Trump's intentions rather than his words?

I.e. make up whatever best interpretation we can come up with.

Also, something tells me that upset Donald Trump's tweets will be more damaging and revealing than Comey's testimony.

If Trump was Clinton, he'd have said "I never had Miss Lewinsky perform oral sex on me [I'm trying to avoid cruder words] in the Oval Office while wearing a blue dress. It's lies. Fake news. Sad. She only gave me a blow job. Enjoy."

Sneaks in from Whitehouse lawns st midnight, Devin Nunes style.

You ain't seen me, right?

That whole Reality Winner thing is ...........most curious.

The president is airing attack ads against the FBI director he fired??? I know it's an outside group but come on. This is stunning.

You may wish, also, to note.

MOre of a reason to respect Trudeau?

Trudeau decides it’s just not worth appeasing Trump in foreign-policy shift

I think Trudeau is right.
Bullies thrive with people trying to appease them.

I would not like to be in her shoes right now. I felt a bit jittery even re-posting the link on here earlier, even though it was all over the web.

The thing about leaking is that you can never be sure what the negative and perhaps dangerous consequences might be. Even when your intention is good.

I'd make a terrible spy.

Trump is now blaming democrats for not confirming the nominations he hasn't submitted to the Senate controlled by the republicans. Got that?

There will be lots of WH statements over the next few days.

If I was wearing my jaundiced glasses, lion, I would be saying that the whole thing was reminiscent of 10 day old fish.

Another bigly placemark while I try to catch up.

I have a mark on my screen. I read that as 'patch up'.

Court-appointed attorney for Reality Winner is no longer her attorney b/c court determined she has enough money to hire her own attorney.

No new counsel for Winner has yet made an appearance on the docket.

So Senate appears to be following House GOP lead to have zero hearings or public committee input into healthcare bill then spring a vote.

It's cynical and politically and substantively destructive in long run but only way they can hope to pass something unpopular.

If they vote on it this month it will be done without GOP even pretending to subject it to any public scrutiny. That's on purpose.

The only hope Democrats have of not getting steam rolled is constituent/interest group pressure now. Also GA 06 can make a difference.

R's have WH and both houses of gov. Odds continue to favor them repealing the ACA.

Fucking hell, this took a turn
