"I'm getting the shit whaled out of me"

So said Tip O'Neil, May 1981, as Reagan and the Republican Revolutionaries crammed the first preposterous supply-side tax cuts through Congress.

In any event, some news of late that represent a nice change of pace from the ass-kicking the Good Guys have been taking lately. Interesting reading.

The more that unfolds, the deeper the conspiracy goes, the more clear becomes the treason, and the higher the likelihood of ongoing collaboration IN PLAIN SIGHT.

But in any event, this is not optimal. I would point out that in the Weimar Republic, it took one heavily propagandized attack on a government building to catapult the fascists to complete and unquestioned power.
Just sayin.

Just going to live blog this one

I am glad I left campus/office hours a tad bit early.

And that I cheated on dinner tonight - delicious Brockton-based Cape Cod Pizza which is pretty stellar.

It could be an eventful night. Things today have developed in the ongoing snuff-show Live-Action Treason – Michael Cohen got raided and Trump is losing it. He's so unbelievably incoherent. I can't believe that people actually accept that such a powerful person sounds like a complete fking dipshit. (Seriously - see transcript below.)

Ironically, while I was making cookies this weekend, I was watching All the Presidents' Men again. I don't know I will be able to sleep, and I sure won't be able to work tomorrow in my break. I'm on Twitter overdrive.

So: last seen, Trump was having a "War Cabinet" meeting (chickenshit: see Fussell, Paul) and had a WATB-Meltdown. (God, this guy is such a putz it hurts.)

• Going to prognosticate: a few big things will happen this week, maybe involving DOJ firings; it will escalate significantly. Republicans will do nothing. Trump will also do some major damage to Syria, which will also escalate profoundly shit with Russia, which (hypothesis) is actively blackmailing Trump through this crazy Back Channel that was actually set up. So Trump is pinned in. 
• And this – Dobbs is setting the agenda and counsel. This is exactly what happens, 72 hours. +/- 

Also, that idiot said these things, surrounded by an august group of men and women in uniform. Conservatives/gun-h**pers and Trump supporters your support of "the troops" is an insulting joke. Anyway, that idiot said amidst his war council:

The Magnificent Bastard may save us all

Follow up on the last post: the Presidents' class is actually going reasonably ok, all things considered.
I think it's largely due to a really good core of students who are very bright. They're engaged and attentive, and for the most part, we isolate discussions of Trump to half of the meeting on Friday. I refuse to let him suck the oxygen up, and away from actual worthies like Andrew Johnson and William McKinley. (Seriously, I did lectures on Johnson and McKinley. Impeachment and war-propaganda, Natch.)

Anyway, I needed a place to deposit these documents, links and thoughts in some orderly or structured fashion. If for nothing else than future Presidents Class courses, where following up on our own private Stupid Watergate will be easier. But seriously, folks, thank god these people are fk*ing incompetent. And may God Save and Preserve Robert Mueller III.

I'm too superstitious to put anything crazy up here. But I will say, on the record, I believe: (along with the CIA) that the Steele Dossier is 90% true; that Trump is presently being blackmailed and that our national security has been gravely compromised; the 2016 election (including the primaries) was deliberately rigged by foreign interests in favor of Trump, with his and the campaign's knowledge and cooperation; a conspiracy exists to cover up these facts that include several major, major figures inside and outside of Washington, D.C.

So far, behavior (consciousness of guilt) and indictments have given more, rather than less, credibility to those beliefs.

Indictments:
Go Bobby Go: Russians


Special Counsel:
Go Bobby Go: Robert Mueller is a Magnificent Bastard
