If you take blood pressure medication...

...be sure to take it before listening or watching to today’s Reliable Sources podcast.

Brian Stelter takes on Kellyann Conway. It’s breathtaking.

Be warned.

Who wins?

I like Brian, but she's frustratingly obstinate. :(

I caught that one earlier today. Jumpin' Jehosephat, that was sumptin' to behold!

It spins faster than a Jack Russell terrier!

It deflects like a coked-up goalie!

It absorbs mortal hits better than ablative armor!

Is it really just four or five defecting Republicans in the Senate who are still loyal to the nation?

She noted liberals are still “annoyed” she didn’t push for impeachment of George W. Bush over Iraq, saying of Trump that Democrats should “let the chips fall where they may, but it’s not someplace that I think we should go.”

Wrong then, wrong now. Except she could actually have made it happen then.

If there was a gold medal for deflecting, she won.

But who won and who lost hinges 100% on your biases going in.

I love that she's dead set against polling.
It's not to be trusted... the satisfaction of the populace is what you want to pay attention to.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but wasn't she a premier pollster, for like 20 years?
Isn't that exactly why the campaign scooped her up?

:rolleyes:

Spin, spin baby. :p

President Trump Committed Another Impeachable Offense on Friday

He basically threatened to fire Sessions if the FBI doesn't investigate Democrats for things like: something that wouldn't be a crime even if were true (DNC "rigging" the primaries); something that's already been investigated ad nauseam (Hillary's emails); something already being investigated by Mueller (Tony Podesta); and allegations that just don't stand up to the facts (Clinton/Russia/Uranium One imaginary scandal).

From that article:
"In disregard of the rule of law, he knowingly misused the executive power by..."

That word 'knowingly' is always the wrench in the works as regards Trump.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if, when confronted with this ineptitude of his, he said "i'm just asking questions"

She's whatever her employers want her to be.
 
L'etat c'est moi.

In late June, President Trump hosted a group of Native American tribal leaders at the White House and urged them to "just do it" and extract whatever they want from the land they control.

The exchange turned out to be an unusually vivid window into the almost kingly power that Trump sees himself as holding, and which he has begun describing with increasing bluntness. The scene was recounted by a source in the room and confirmed by another. The White House didn't dispute the story.

The chiefs explained to Trump that there were regulatory barriers preventing them from getting at their energy. Trump replied: "But now it's me. The government's different now. Obama's gone; and we're doing things differently here."

There was a pause in the room and the tribal leaders looked at each other.

"Chief, chief," Trump continued, addressing one of the tribal leaders, "what are they going to do? Once you get it out of the ground are they going to make you put it back in there? I mean, once it's out of the ground it can't go back in there. You've just got to do it. I'm telling you, chief, you've just got to do it."

The tribal leader looked back at one of the White House officials in the room — perhaps somebody from the White House Counsel's office — and he said "can we just do that?" The official equivocated, saying the administration is making progress and has a plan to roll back various regulations.

Trump interjected again: "Guys, I feel like you're not hearing me right now. We've just got to do it. I feel like we've got no choice; other countries are just doing it. China is not asking questions about all of this stuff. They're just doing it. And guys, we've just got to do it."

You don't think there's a problem with the President of the United States advising US citizens to break the law?

"it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission" is only a workable strategy if forgiveness is more likely than large fines and custodial sentences.

It will be like his dad's loan to save the casino. Without the loan, the casino would have went out of business. But the regulators did not have the stomach to enforce a penalty that would cause a collapse. So the tems of the regulation we're acceptable.
