While our definition of ā€œadult in the roomā€ keeps getting looser and looser, at least Coats saw the Russia threat for what it is. Ratcliffe is a Trump loyalist who will ā€œinterpretā€ intelligence reports in a way to please Il Douche regardless of the impact on our country. Not shocking, but another step towards Armageddon.

Narrative-manufacturing using supposed inside knowledge from Trumpā€™s new man in the intelligence community to commence in 5, 4, 3 ā€¦

Hilariously, David Simon posted on Twitter about how Baltimore is nice, and a dude jumped in to argue that David Simon had no clue about Baltimoreā€™s crime problems.

David Simon. The guy who literally wrote the book on it. Imagine being so racist you feel the need to Baltimoresplain to David Fucking Simon.

Speaking of booksā€¦

Simon has become the pre-eminent TV diarist of human resilience in the face of urban decline, setting Treme, his follow-up to The Wire, in New Orleans and The Deuce in 1970s New York. He is now turning Philip Rothā€™s novel The Plot Against America into a six-part HBO series.

Rothā€™s 2004 book imagines an alternate history in which aviator Charles Lindberg becomes president and turns the leads the US toward fascism.

Trump: ā€œSo unfair that his show stole my America First slogan!ā€

Heā€™s killing Trump supporters on Twitter. (Theyā€™re so obtuse.)

Iā€™m not a fan of that, actually. How is poverty shaming any better when itā€™s in a rural area vs. in an urban one. Both are pretty classist if you ask me. I get why they did it, but not a fan of that, TBH.

I think when the Republican line is ā€œwe would never be allowed to get away with having poverty in our districts like those Democrats doā€, itā€™s important to push back against that completely bullshit narrative. (Especially when the districts and Democrats in question are overwhelmingly people of color)

And just having images of poverty stricken homes does that how? How does that shame the republicans? It doesnā€™t, because they have no shame. It shames the people who have no other choices but to live there.

Feel however you like about it, but it just feels like yet more class warfare to me.

ā€œThe loose collection of groups of antifascist protesters havenā€™t been linked to a single death, while right-wing extremistsā€™ tally mountsā€.

So - get your Nazi punching in early folks!

Hey - you WW2 Medal of Honor winners will be first up against the wall under Herr Donnie.

Dan Coats makes a point in his resignation letter that his efforts to shore up election security will be part of his legacy. Hmmmm and I wonder who he pissed off with that action???

Notable absence of ingratiating himself to the lā€™orange emperor.

Funny, I thought Trump was on talk radio on 9/11, boasting about how he now owned the tallest building in NYC.

He was a few miles away, so itā€™s basically the same thing.

I heard that afterward he went to Jersey City and broke up the many celebrations that were occurring there with only his steely glare.
