according to Ryan. We don't know about that conversation since it is top secret.

Between the Barr conclusion and the Mueller report. He has only seen the Barr conclusion.

I don't think the Dems got together and demanded that Devin Nunes resign as chair of the Intelligence Committee, did they?

I'm taking notes...on how to win. This is apparently what you have to do. Get an idea, no matter how ludicrous, and push it to the hilt. It gets the base all revved up.

Should work for the Democrats, since we have issues that are real. We need to push, push, push, and not give up.

Yes, I've noticed the attempted Frankening of Biden. It's really so obvious, despite the "I'm talking about it for it to be a teachable moment, and to help the country and the candidates." Yeah, right. Headline "Bernie supporter lets loose with "disrespectful" allegations against Biden, despite event being 5 years old, so the country can have a teachable moment. She swears it's not political."

Next up: Another Republican, after Leeann Tweedon's ousting of Franken, reveals allegations of sexual misbehavior against ______ (insert name of any popular candidate). She swears her reveal has nothing to do with politics.

Adam Schiff is NOT the one who needs to be resigning. All the GOPers who are defending Trump need to pack their bags and return to their districts.

Answer this

<snip>
In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee’s computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”


Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic “Worst Person in the World” award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called “Putin’s Favorite Congressman.”

In the Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

Then fuck off!
