    (Apologies for the ranty tone. It's already been a long day.)

      Honestly, I don't hate Trump nearly as much as I do his henchmen. Trump is simply delusional, but his lackeys are all sycophants who all know that what they are doing is wrong but continue to do...

      I mean, just look at the history of the white house press secretary. I'm pretty sure that we have a record for the number of people to fill that role within a single term. I'm convinced that Kayleigh McEnany is quite literally a psychopath because of how willing she is to say completely insane things with a straight face.

    Pretty disgusting and brazen, though not really unexpected given the lack of a rock bottom in this administration.

    Robert Mueller published an op-ed in the Washington Post yesterday about this and some of the claims that have been getting made as part of it: Roger Stone remains a convicted felon, and rightly so

    This is (ethically and morally wrong) but not surprising given the Nixon tattoo on Stone's back. He's in the GOP trenches slanging hxc - of course they'd commute his sentence.
