Former Trump aide admits lying to FBI over Russia contacts

A cunt is a body part. As is a mouth.

A raisin smile is body language. Not body part. And as such it’s not unfair or out of bounds, at all. Your comparison is inapt.

We didn’t stop understanding body language when we started using our words.

Didn’t even B&B,RB recently decide not to use elephants in their show anymore, or did I imagine that?

Anyhoos, as much as I’m not a fan of the Hunger Games franchise for the complete lack of backstory/world-building, I still give Collins credit for bringing the idea of mass superficial placation back to public attention; it’s telling that even the nation in her dystopian society is called ‘Panem.’

Most adults have some degree control over their body language. I don’t think Orange Julius does. If he truly is a pathological narcissist, that would be in line with such a pathology diagnosis.

edited because it’s not a pathology, it’s a non-biologically based character defect.

I still have no idea whether that was sarcasm or not.

some stuff from lawfare:

We will say this: Mueller’s opening bid is a remarkable show of strength. He has a cooperating witness from inside the campaign’s interactions with the Russians. And he is alleging not mere technical infractions of law but astonishing criminality on the part of Trump’s campaign manager, a man who also attended the Trump Tower meeting.

Any hope the White House may have had that the Mueller investigation might be fading away vanished this morning. Things are only going to get worse from here.

It’s just like that episode of Game of Thrones where someone proves that Cersei stole a knight’s sandwich, so she immediately steps down and hands power to Jon Snow.

Remember, the win condition here isn’t for Turmp to be proven guilty. It’s for him to be proven guilty and impeached (and replaced with whoever the Repulican congress picks for the next 3 years). If we learn that Turmp is clearly a traitor, and nothing happens to him, then the rule of law will be officially dead and we’ll be several steps further down the bad path.

I was under the impression that the circus masters would throw folks they didn’t like to the lions, but I guess turnaround is fair play.

If Trump is impeached and they vote to remove him as well, doesn’t that mean we just get Pence? His Taliban insurance policy is a good one… I don’t want that “winning” scenario. Or is it just presumed that Pence is certainly ejected too?

I don’t suppose Pence ever did anything interesting enough to get him in trouble, but if the whole campaign was tainted then that could be a reason / excuse for the GOP congress to pick someone else in the name of a “fresh start”, as they did with Gerald Ford.

Though, technically they’d need Turmp to cooperate and appoint a new VP before he went (Nixon had no choice because Agnew was removed first). I guess they could persuade Pence to resign in this scenario.

They did, and then shortly thereafter decided to not use any other animals, elephant, human or otherwise.

Cinnamon and powdered sugar?

I’ve always had them like this:

(and was lucky enough to score someone’s grandma’s recipe for frybread)

Will definitely have to try the “dessert mode” of frybread.

Remember when Trump was standing there, wishing that the Russians would leak more emails? It seemed pretty sleazy at the time, now more so.

Oh, and Julian? STFU!

It must be that accursed Moose, and his ‘friend’ Squirrel, spreading lies again in your media. Fake news!
