    Wisdom for today from the late great Molly Ivins on the state of politics: you have to laugh because crying and throwing up all the time are bad for you.

  2. W/holding military aid to an ally when their forces are dying on a daily basis all in order to get fake news prop for Fox is not a bloodless crime nor an inappropriate boo boo. This is his 5th Avenue murder moment several times over & he’ll revel in it.

    Best saying from my 7 yo daughter today, ‘Mitch McConnell lives in Donald Trump’s bottom.’ The Force is strong with this one...

    Honestly, just when you think Starr expended his worst batch of hypocrisy napalm, he reaches for the drums of XXX megadeath...

    If abuse of power & obstruction of Congress are allowed now, it isn't just that impeachment would be a dead letter, but the people's reps, namely Congress itself would be gutted.

    Amidst everything et al have said, it bears repeating over & over the Presidency belongs to the people. Oversight & impeachment are sole powers given to Congress to referee exec power & if nec curtail it, & remove a constitutional officer.

    The central lie of his campaign 'Get Brexit Done' now becomes 'we did it' & any pain that comes next won't be because of his govt & the decision to leave, but will be the fault of the evil EU.

    Good for them. Johnson here indicating he's trying to go down the Trump path, this is how it starts. People need to be especially vigilant about protecting the BBC.

    Yes. And one could also pick from a few choice lines from Arendt as well.

    A first order failing of Christianity isn't re rationality per se, it's our inability to root wisdom in credibly (penitentially & Christologically) addressing & holding power to account. Our failure has distorted reason's horizon & vocation in the university, science & politics.

    Sorry, but arguments about the ethics/hypocrisy or odiousness of being 'woke' or not is a luxury afforded to those who never have to worry about their children being shot by police if they're playing with a toy gun in a local park or relations being summarily deported to Jamaica.

    I hate to say it, but if you are from the South, you can see exactly what will happen in Nov if we let it. Ds must realise they're flying blind in this part of country because they gave up on it years ago, but they need on the ground intel & a full national strategy.

    Presumably those people tweeting “look, Brexit has happened and everything is fine” aren’t the same people who say “staying in the Single Market and the Customs Union isn’t Brexit”?

    We've learned this lesson to our cost in this country where we made Labour a holy club first rather than a diverse party aiming at winning power. The fact that such a high % of Sanders voters say will stay home if he isn't the nominee is profoundly worrying.

    It's great that the electorate have finally seen the true face of the . Yet, few outside the R bubble appreciate the fusion of morbid capitalist royalism's & neo-Calhounism at heart of Rs- they feel despotism is their last resort. The struggle is beyond just defeating Trump.

    It would be a shame if this video that exposes Mitch McConnell got tons of retweets and moved from 580,000 views to 1 Million views by next week.

    This is exactly right and a story told in part by Nancy Maclean’s work.
