And he should stop attending those farcical "briefings."

They ALL should stop attending these sham bulkshit “briefings.” It’d be GREAT to see her sashay out to the podium for her next round of insults, lies, condescensions, and obfuscations - and find NOBODY there.

When that CNN reporter was singled out for punishment and barred from the next press event, they all should have boycotted.

They REALLY need to stand up and be defiant and NOT knuckle under to the bullshit for another nanosecond. Otherwise there are no consequences for this shit. And no reason not to keep punishing the press.

You do NOT reward or reinforce bad behavior!!! Any dedicated and responsible parent knows that.

All the more reason to FIGHT LIKE HELL to take back the House!

At the very LEAST, the House. Because that takes Devin Nunes’s chairmanship if the House Intel Committee away from him and gives it to Adam Schiff. And Chairman Schiff will have the power to crank that investigation back up, or start a new one, and issue subpoenas, and get those phone records. AND compel people to come and testify, or testify again. And MORE.

So VOTE, DAMMIT!!!

Indeed. She knows what real evil is.

She’s uniquely qualified to identify and fight this real-life Dark Wizard.

Where are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and most of the Weasleys when we need them?

Take care, ghostsinthemachine!

Having lived with the threat of brushfires for most of my life, I sympathize. The last one came the closest, and for the first time in 55 years there, many of our neighbors were all loading their cars just in case. It was the first time I ever saw our next door neighbor backing his car into his driveway (to load up the back of his car).

Scary! Stay safe!

Some of us. Not all of us.

Some others among us DID smell a rat.

DAYUM! One thing I can say about ratfucking: it's damn creative.

What won’t they think up, next?

August 2, 2018

OMG!

Of course they believe that! Because that's the way THEY do it.

Of course they suspect skullduggery in others. Because that’s how THEY do it. That’s THEIR normal. That’s THEIR currency. That’s how THEIR world rotates. They think others are doing that stuff because THEY do that stuff.

That's because they want that help again.

They know they’re on a downward slide. They know they’re on the losing end. But keeping power is PRIORITY ONE.

AT ALL COSTS.

They want that help again. Because they know full well the only way they can hang onto power is to get some now-proveneffective help again. Why does someone resort to dirty tricks and ratfucking and other favorite republi-CON indoor sports - unless they don’t think they can win by playing fair? By playing on a level playing field?

They have no interest in a level playing field because it doesn’t guarantee a win. And they want to win more than anything else

so they can hang onto power, and

So they can force THEIR agenda and THEIR world view on the rest of us. To institutionalize THEIR agenda and THEIR world view.

And why is that?

Because they want to pull us back to the 1950s OR FARTHER BACK. When men were men, white power was unassailable, and anybody NOT white male was relegated to the back of the bus. ANYBODY. that means blacks. That means brown-skinned. That means women. That means the less fortunate.

They frankly don’t believe in equality. One contingent must be superior to all the others, and dominant over all the rest. Why else does a thing like trump aspire toward being a dictator, a virtual king, the proverbial “strongman,” “president” as emperor?

And if they believe the only way they can get there is by getting some devious and dark and thoroughly ILLEGAL outside help, then they’ll do it by any means necessary.

And we’ve already seen what those extraordinary “any means necessary” strategies and tactics are.

To those who doubt or obfuscate or obstruct or deny or make excuses, I’ve got only one thing to say: Prove me wrong.

It's about time. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

In broad daylight. It's been visible as all-get-out, from the get-go.

And some doggone high-octane projection, too.
