Gov't Oversight. MI/DC/VA/elsewhere. Here: Politics, Star Wars and other nerdery, DIY projects, bread, and occasional puns. Views expressed are my own. Mark Hamill mentioned me once on the beforetimes social media app.

Look, Trump veers off prompter so much that I almost don't even see a problem with this. You never know what he will actually say.

The teleprompter operator who reportedly made $100,000 by placing bets on Trump’s speeches has been placed on unpaid administrative leave

Look, I mean I guess you have to respect the idea that the guy is qualified. Who better to investigate and prosecute 'antifa' (a non-existent group that the admin says is trying to overthrow the government) than a guy who marched with very real groups trying to overthrow the government?

Democrats need to be thinking about what happens when Trump loses the midterms by a historic margin, but then instructs Mike Johnson and John Thune not to seat new Reps + Senators, claiming fraud. Impeachment isn't going to happen, so Dems need to game out how to remove him for his abuses of power

This line always gets me. I can never decide whether I think this is a bad faith argument or whether the people who make it are just so dumb they do not understand that a private business imposing entry restrictions is not the same as the government imposing a burden on exercising a right.

There's this weird cognitive dissonance among conservatives. They're absolutely militant about preventing the state from taking away their guns in case they need to defend themselves against the state, but they're completely OK (it seems) with the state having the right to forcibly enter a home.

Aaron Rupar

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

So letting alone that traffic stops dont really do much to fight crime, officers HATE them because they're time consuming and can be dangerous.

Aaron Rupar

Trump: "We CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important & effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. ICE...go back and do your very important job"

Man this before and after comparison of the Trump gilding of the Oval Office just gets more and more jarring.

"Iran refuses to give us what we want so we're gonna start the war crimes" is a hell of a position to take.

Aaron Rupar

Rep. Pete Sessions: "I'm very proud of the president ... he's been very careful not to treat Tehran like it's Gaza, but I think that is gonna start. You're gonna see building tumble, you're gonna see pressure being put on the regime."

Look, I try not to shame people for what they call themselves, but if you are a grown ass adult (and a public affairs person at that), and you choose to officially go by a childish nickname like "Tommy," "Mikey," or "Joey" you should not command anyone's respect.

Aaron Rupar

State Dept spokesperson Tommy Pigott: "If the ICC continues to try to threaten our sovereignty, they will know the full power of American resolve" (are we going to, like, bomb the International Criminal Court?)

No joke: Mass Effect. Nolan has shown time and again he has the range to direct big budget action epics but also immensely emotional and personal stories. Mass Effect has both.

Graham was probably the closest person Trump had to a "friend." This is true sociopathic behavior--zero empathy, just commenting on him and comparing him to an animal.

Aaron Rupar

Trump on Lindsey Graham: "His father died just about at the same age. I'm a believer in the race horse theory. If you have problems, you have problems. And he had some problems."

So, not to go all conspiracy theorist here, but "Big Ukraine supporter dies hours after visiting Ukraine, whose opponent is well known for carrying out political assassinations" is screaming for a publicly revealed cause of death.

CNN

"Ukraine lost one of its most vocal supporters in Washington this weekend following the death of US Sen. Lindsey Graham, which came just hours after he returned from a trip to Kyiv," writes CNN's Tim Lister | Analysis https://cnn.it/4pjDFhc

They will once the stories of "I had sex with Lindsey Graham in an airport bathroom in Tucson in 1993" start coming out.

Kevin M. Kruse

Are the obituaries going to go with euphemisms like "confirmed bachelor" or are they finally going to speak out loud about one of the worst-concealed closet cases in American political history?
