Don’t often see him like this. He does have a point, I’d like to see some ass kicking over of the Whitaker appointment.

Since we are far more creative than Irish people, we have a choice of many words for drunk.

But, we do love our guns, so Ireland comes out on top in terms of civilization.

He is saying nothing about how unconstitutional Whitaker’s appointment is. And he is not saying anything about his conflicts of interest on this

It sounded like in this instance he was upset that the Dems were merely asking for recusal and not raising more hell about how this is completely illegal and unconstitutional for The Crimson Clown to put Whitaker in the AG position.

Chuck Toadie, on the other hand, has completely lost his mind over the possibility of democrats investigating ANY crimes committed by The Crimson Clown, his administration, and his trust fund baby leeches of offspring. He's been screaming about how "exit polls show voters don't support Mueller and any investigation, shouldn't they listen and drop this whole thing". It's stunning what a slimy, unethical, dishonest, and corrupt journalist he is. He's actually arguing that a chamber of government not use the constitutional authority of oversight that were specifically granted to them for situations such as all of the illegal activity that The Trump Crime Family presents our nation on a daily basis. Wonder what Pootie and The Ruskies have on Toad?

Donnie Fungus Dick felator in charge of his own criminal investigation and the majority Retrumplicans in the Senate do nothing... the first group I'm going to blame is the Democrats.

MSNBC would be so much better if they would let viewer comments scroll accross the bottom of the screen.

House yet. Meanwhile people are taking to the streets for No One Is Above the Law protests. And a tape has surfaced of Whitiker. That said...I do wish I saw more organized outrage from our Dem representatives...but maybe we don't know what is going on behind the scenes?

The US Government for over 40 years.

I guarantee you he understands how the process works and that the Democrats will be sworn in on January 3rd.

He has the tendency to be hyperbolic and often says things too quickly or in a rushed manner, but that can be said of most people on Cable TV these days.

but whenever anyone brought up something they could do - go to court, get a subpoena, etc. - he started screaming that it wouldn't work because Trump controls the courts and won't obey a subpoena.

Bizarre.

Many are home for their elections and what-not. They all got a month off from Congress, am I right?
But I do agree that we can't just lay down and allow Cheeto to get away with this.

Whitaker should recuse himself, then we've already fucked up. The appointment was ILLEGAL and shouldn't be recognized. Period. Sessions was FIRED, next in line is Rosenstein. Period. No need to discuss what Whitaker should recuse from. He's not the AG.

Tweety rants and asks a question and as soon as the guest starts speaking Tweety is off and sputtering again.

It's really a problem lately.

I sense that his people are coaching him to let the guests talk, but it doesn't stop him.
