Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

I’m interested to hear Sheriff Clarke comment about his interactions with Russian spy Maria Butina. Can he talk about that instead?

@BillKristol

Mark Levin, a few days after having dinner with President Trump, says Mueller is more of a threat to the republic than Putin. Trump's tweeting attacks on the FBI. It might be useful for Republicans to tell the president once again not to interfere with the Mueller investigation.

The claim that Mueller is a greater threat to the republic than Putin is so over the top one's inclined to ignore it. But Levin said it soon after dinner with Trump and Pirro repeated it. Is Trump intensifying the assault on Mueller in case Trump wants to move against him.

Reminder: there is legislation to protect the investigation, approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee 14-7, that McConnell could bring to the floor when the Senate returns this week as a clear repudiation by Congressional Republicans of this Trump-inspired assault on Mueller.

.@MarkLevinshow: “First of all, Robert Mueller is a greater threat to this republic and the Constitution than anything Vladimir Putin did during the campaign. And I am no fan of Vladimir Putin."

He won't Confused

Is anyone going to challenge the statement that Mueller, a Vietnam veteran and hero is a greater threat to the Republic than Trump? Is Trump and the Republic one and the same thing now? Dear God, how did we get to this point so quickly? Angry

Talking of idiotic sheriffs, ohmymimi, have we already had this story about Joe Arpaio being fooled by Sasha Baron Cohen? (Sorry, I can't remember if I saw it posted in here or on Twitter.)

Sheriff Joe on Sacha Baron Cohen interview: ‘I made a bad mistake’

Some excerpts:

Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio admits that he made a “bad mistake” by allowing himself to be interviewed by Sacha Baron Cohen as part of an undercover television show.

Arpaio, who is running for the Republican nomination to replace Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said that he “couldn’t understand” Cohen, who played a Finnish “unboxing” celebrity named OMGWhizzBoyOMG. The segment aired on Sunday as part of the new Showtime program “Who is America?”.

The former Maricopa County sheriff said the two talked for an hour in total, including a lot about illegal immigration.

“So he’s talking and I couldn’t understand him. He’s talking about golden showers. I thought he was talking about — the president has gold [in his shower].”

“And then handjob," Arpaio continued. "What was that? He was talking about illegals coming over working with their hands on their job."

“Then the other thing — the only thing I got was that he would offer me a job. I didn’t hear that little thing before that,” Arpaio said, referring Cohen’s asking him if he would take a blowjob from the president. “I don’t know where that came from.”

mackerella · 11/08/2018 21:32

I've got mixed feelings about Baron Cohen's brand of "gotcha" journalism, although I think it's good when exposing hypocrisy and total stupidity (as with the NRA piece he did recently). I've got no sympathy for Arpaio, who is a loathsome human being, but I do think this kind of entrapment is a bit puerile and smug, and doesn't really add much in the way of satire. Which is a shame, as there are so many other things that Arpaio could be legitimately roasted for.

cozietoesie · 11/08/2018 21:35

They know it's wrong, Gump, but they won't challenge it.

At the moment.

cozietoesie · 11/08/2018 21:38

I think that there will, currently, be much 'positioning' in the GOP ranks.

  1. Here's a little public service announcement about your vote & the November elections. If you live in a state that is pruning its voter rolls or moving people to inactive status & you want to make sure you can vote on 11/6, what should you do? Read on, the time to act is now.

This is a useful thread on how to make sure you are registered to vote in the midterms. A useful thread for US posters.

Scrofulous cockwombling wankspanners every one, and that is a generous assessment of their characters.

ohmymimi · 11/08/2018 22:48

I agree, mackerella , Baron-Cohen's stuff is very hit and miss. I haven't seen the Arpaio one, he turns my stomach, blech!

That collection of emails is grim, lion . Apart from the legal implications, that they have been produced, as official statements, by/for a POTUS, is a gut wrenching reminder of how the degenerate Oaf has debased the office.

Diners in Louisiana talk politics, the economy and jobs on
Freed from the restraints of facts or reason, diners in Louisiana talk of their desire to live in a fascist state and a discarding of already inadequate regulations designed to keep them safe.

"I want a president who's going to rule with an iron fist— finally. Someboy who's going to stand up for America."
