"He saw Capitol Hill as the refuge of small, selfish, cowardly souls, and Congress would remain on the business end of his best witticisms in future years, as when he observed that it constituted the only "distinctly native American criminal class"

-Ron Chernow on Mark Twain

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

This man is a treasure.

My Cousin Vinny, anyone?

Imagine. That would almost be like a republic with a Bill of Rights or some shit.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The Doomsday Clock Ticks Closer to Midnight. Does Anyone Care? The Doomsday Clock, a symbol of how close humanity is to destroying itself, has moved from 89 seconds to 85 seconds, four seconds closer to “doomsday.” That is the closest the Clock has ever been...

The Doomsday Clock, a symbol of how close humanity is to destroying itself, has moved from 89 seconds to 85 seconds , four seconds closer to “doomsday.” That is the closest the Clock has ever been to midnight. That’s when, in the metaphor proposed by the keepers

Hackers Say They've Hacked Match Group, Maker of Hinge, OkCupid Match Group says it is investigating claims that a mass of internal data was hacked from its popular dating apps.

BREAKING: Hackers claim they’ve hacked Match Group, which runs dating apps Hinge, Match, and OkCupid.

Match Group, the company that owns the targeted platforms as well as Tinder and other massively popular dating apps, says it is investigating the incident.

404 is analyzing the data:

It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition. Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Screenshot of TruthSocial post by President Trump complaining that Mayor Frey won't enforce federal immigration law, and calling it a "very serious violation of the Law."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

Get out. You can't reform this shit.

Local police chiefs* breaking publicly with ICE and distancing themselves from it is an absolutely good and important development.

* who, yes, still have many of their own real problems, thank you, no one hear needs this lecture right now, thank you, yes, I'm glad you took a class on it, thank you

Whatcha gonna do about it? you sniveling coward.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

One of the most important things to keep in mind if you want to understand the American right today, especially the people leading the federal government and its allied media outlets, is they believe their own BS.

They really are in a bubble, and genuinely surprised when reality does not comport.

Only if you have a sense of honor and are capable of feeling shame, which this fucking clown has neither.
