i love Rachel BUT

i'm watching her show from last night and she just asked the same question something like 5 times in a row with slightly different words.

this particular rhetorical quirk of hers annoys the crap out of me. i heard you the first time!

am i the only one?

for reference: it was basically maybe the House should begin impeachment proceedings right away if it will hasten the collection of information and documents that trump is refusing to provide.

incidentally this is not a new pet peeve of mine. i actually wrote to her about it a few years ago but apparently my suggestion to stop doing that was filed in the trash.

Who's read the report?

I'm having it printed today at FedEx because i just think it's that important and don't fancy reading on the computer that much.
My theory is that the report represents Mueller begging Congress to impeach.

i couldn't watch the Nielsen hearing.

i tried. what they are doing makes me want to scream, throw myself on the floor, and weep. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

Nielsen herself looks to me as if she has a permanent obnoxious scowl on her overdone face and simply sickens me. She is disrespectful and as honest as trump himself, not even a little tiny bit.

i like this Pete Buttigieg guy.

Just watched the segment of Morning Joe. He makes a lot of sense. He effortlessly and in a very friendly manner made Joe Scarborough look like an outdated demagogue. I felt as if Joe thought he was throwing all his gotcha questions at him and Buttigieg could not be got. Especially when it came to the question of "socialism" and "capitalism" - he resisted being pigeonholed with great skill.

I really like him. I don't know if he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the nomination, but I am very impressed. Sadly most of the media will have Schultz on 10 times before they even mention Buttigieg's name (incredibly difficult name!). I hope that changes.

Whitaker couldn't behave more

assholey if he'd showed up in his bathrobe. total contempt of congress. is this a crime perhaps? Does anyone else agree with me that he's in line for obstruction of justice charges?
