Doc Sportello's JournalOprah's best friend fuels 2020 run talk
Yesterday we were told on here by some that there was nothing to this topic and that Oprah has "repeatedly" denied it, as has her best friend, Gayle King. In several threads we were told that people were making too much of it, and at least one poster implied racism behind those who questioned her validity as a candidate.
Well King is fueling these rumors, and CNN has more reporting today that she is considering the idea.

tRump can't fire Mueller, and it's doubtful anyone at DOJ can either, at least anytime soon
There is a lot of worry out there over this topic, but last night Ari Melber, a lawyer, and his guest, former federal prosecutor Seth Waxman, use the Special Counsel law to show tRump can't fire Mueller, and if he goes down the line at the DOJ to do it, that wouldn't be the end of it. Mueller's team of lawyers, who would have standing, can take the matter to court, in which case Mueller could do his job for months, or maybe even longer until it was resolved. By that time, assuming tRump survived the firestorm his action would cause, would probably be under indictment and/or impeachment, with Mueller's team having enough time to do their work.
Does that mean our idiot POtuS wouldn't do something stupid and try to do it? Of course not, but there is a big difference between a successful firing of Mueller and a process which would drag on for months, in which some of the best lawyers in the country would be taking on mob clown show lawyers in front of federal judges who come from the same places as Mueller's team. I'll place my money on an outcome favoring Mueller. Not to mention the fact that trying to fire Mueller will not stop the FBI counterintelligence investigation that started all this, or state probes.

Paul Ryan "soul searching" whether to retire. That shouldn't take long
A very shallow pool to search in.

The last time I cried over an election was Nov. 4, 2008
I cried again tonight. I truly believe this is the start of getting our country back. The reddest state of all showed tonight that not all of our country is as screwed up as our POtuS and Moore and their apologists and enablers.

Wow. A politician as repugnant as trump
Congratulations Roy Moore! You have reached a standard of sleaziness and cynicism that can only be measured against the heights of vileness reached by the slimeball in the White House. The attacks on your accusers and maintaining complete denial when the right thing (the Christian thing according to your own stated beliefs) would be to admit your mistakes, apologize and step away. But, like trump, you are more than willing, even eager, to denigrate the office you aspire to and rot our democracy - all the while using religion and bigotry to get you out of this self-created disaster.
You sir, along with your idol, are the two biggest pieces of shit ever to walk on our political landscape. So a big congratulations to you. And while we're at it, a big pat on the back to those republican leaders who have had the courage to come out against a pedophile. I can just imagine how proud Lincoln, Lodge and Eisenhower would be of you and their party if they could see what has happened to it.
Question for Maine DUers
Is there any chance Collins could become an independent and vote to caucus with the Dems in 2019?
