Joe was basically saying that he was going to just ignore the polls?

Sorry, I'm only halfway through! The bit I heard about the polls was that even though the polls showed that Jones was in the lead atm, people would be too embarrassed to admit to wanting to vote for Moore so Joe didn't think they would be accurate and Moore still might win. Which is entirely possible, of course, probable even. I'm just Pollyanna-ing in the corner so don't mind me.

Whatever happens, though, I suspect that Mitchell has problems.

Mueller’s team is rooting around inside Trump world more deeply than is publicly known

I bloody hope so.
I'm happy to know just the tip of the iceberg at this point. I just hope it all comes out some day.

I’ve always felt that their problem might be ‘where to stop’? That’s where good leadership and political ......nous will come in, I guess.

Comey’s all about leadership tips these days

The Justice Department Just Announced Millions Of Dollars For Police Who Promise To Report Undocumented Immigrants

The Trump administration is taking a carrot-and-stick approach to making local police department's crack down on illegal immigration. This was nearly $100 million in carrots.

Love the fact that Obama is joining in with the meme things, especially since Biden loves them.

I did not realise there could be confusion about Democrat/Republican ...

This cheered me immensely: 'Not on my watch' as a rejection of Hannity's invite to an interview.

Something new in the briefing today: reporters must say what they're thankful for before their question to @PressSec today. Sarah started off by giving what she was thankful for.

I’d preface every question by saying I was thankful that the President hadn’t started a nuclear war and caused global mutually assured destruction yet.

The reporters could have such FUN with that. (Before the WH cancelled the briefings.)

I wonder whose idea it was ?

Did the Trump Administration require divestiture of CNN (or Turner Broadcasting, which controls it) for approval? We need answers because this isn’t normal.

It's so apt that this gaslighting WH is being compared to boiling a frog - the revelations are being dripped so slowly that they're losing their impact. But yes, it is intriguing to think who is exposing these links and why.
