The above article also managed to find a really unflattering picture of Conway.

The Nunberg episode was sponsored by Jack Daniels and lasted approximately 0.6 decimooches. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes I suppose.

Anyone happen to notice how the Nunberg spectacular drowned out the Jane Mayer story that the Kremlin had nixed Romney for Secretary of State.

You mean there are flattering pictures of her?

I don't think that's entirely fair. We haven't had a day free of scandal in a long, long time.

Of course, she's a pretty woman. She looks like my 70-something aunt in that picture.

But I guess working in the Trump White House will age anyone. Obama started going grey in his second term, it's taken just a year for Conway.

There's no accounting for taste. Myself, I think Margaret Hamilton should be grateful that Kellyanne wasn't around when the casting call went out for The Wizard of Oz.

Lawfare blog has an interesting article how "collusion" could be prosecuted as a crime, and it doesn't bode well for anyone who helped contribute to the Russia's "fraud of the U.S.", whether or not they knew they were Russians.

I'm admittedly ignorant of all law, but what exactly binds congress to do anything about this? genuinely curious in some sources.

Oh, gee, the president is saying, "Trust me," concerning whether his real estate deals are on the up and up. https://www.usatoday...ted/1018530001/

President Trump’s companies sold more than $35 million in real estate in 2017, mostly to secretive shell companies that obscure buyers’ identities, continuing a dramatic shift in his customers' behavior that began during the election, a USA TODAY review found.

From Yahoo:

Once more, it’s clear that the working assumption of the Mueller investigation is that the entire Trump presidency*, and the Trump campaign that preceded it, is a vast corrupt empire, and that the roots of that empire are to be found in the Trump Organization, which was a slightly less vast, but no less corrupt, empire built on deceit and incompetence, bailed out by its lawyers.

So, Trump has just agreed to go mano-on-mano with Kim Jong-un.

Wonder whether there is any way that we can convince the two of them that the best way to settle this is with a duel.

Say, IEDs at 10 paces....

Sessions is suing California over its “sanctuary” laws. Sean Illing at Vox asked 8 legal experts who will win.

To paraphrase Steven Colbert from back in the day: "Donald Trump, great President or greatest President?!"

Well, based on US history, either Trump will be assassinated (a number of you will be happy...) or a third party country will soon be attacked by their new coalition.

Iran? Venezuela? Who knew? (Well, Scott Adams seems to have been pretty prescient...)

Gee, I wonder where the cabinet members got the idea that the U.S. government was their personal piggy bank?

Is it just me or did South Korea do most of the diplomatic legwork with North Korea?



Or is this a result of our gunboat diplomacy?

Hmmmm.

Refresh your internet. WH saying this isn't happening.

It was, as usual, Trump shitting the bed.
