Titled with Across in mind Wink

May all the Oaf's problems be big ones, and the events of this week at least be the beginning of the beginning of the end.

He is a fucking gutless coward to turn his back on someone like that.

Sheldon was v powerful, mimi. I didn't know who was speaking but it was a damning indictment of the rise of corporate power.

"I will not cast a vote more important than this one. I suspect few of my colleagues will as well.”

– @SenBlumenthal says to Kavanaugh at his confirmation hearing. twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1037045268271648769/video/1

Blumenthal also pointed out that Kavanaugh would always have an asterisk next to his name as the justice nominated by an unindicted co-conspirator amid a process that was less than transparent.

I've been on the receiving end of a Bob Woodward book. There were quotes in it I didn't like. But never once - never - did I think Woodward made it up. Anonymous sources have looser lips and may take liberties. But Woodward always plays is straight. Someone told it to him.

Who had credibility in this face off over the BE book? Not Sneerah and Kelly, whose statements, as usual, for their audience of one. Toadies and liars, the pair of them. They are both now in so deep, they can never admit to being on the wrong side of history.

This is one of the most disturbing accounts of what is going on in the White House that we've seen yet. If one-tenth of it is accurate, we are, in a very real sense, in the midst of a national emergency.

Spot on observations on the BW/DJT phonecall:
David Frum
@davidfrum
Worth listening to Woodward-Trump audio recording to hear both Trump and @KellyannePolls elegantly and politely caught in direct to-his-face lies by Woodward

Trump is comparatively suave at beginning of call. But as he's caught by Woodward in untrue statements, he becomes progressively angrier, more aggrieved, & more self-pitying

@KellyannePollsby contrast first tries to brazen out her lie, then when caught beyond squiggling tries to change subject by blaming others

The "tweet for everything" thing has reached truly absurd levels. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/307582196196188160

Only the Obama WH can get away with attacking Bob Woodward.*

Trump’s former lawyer John Dowd responds:
There was no so-called ‘practice session’ or ‘re-enactment’ of a mock interview at the Special Counsel’s office. Further, I did not refer to the President as a “liar” and did not say that he was likely to end up in an ‘orange jump suit’.

Lweji if anyone gets sucked into the Trump vortex, willing or not, I reckon Mueller pays them some attention.

It’s like we’re back to 2016 and mainstream media hasn’t learned a thing about right-wing extremist propaganda/psy-ops tactics.

Tactics which, btw, the Russian government accounts on here use too.

This is part of how we got Trump and might be part of why we lose our democracy.

On the many journalist and commentator criticism that the white power hand signal is Trump derangement syndrome.

Good - although I'd be happier if it was less than 2months to go.
