Quote

“When a man unprincipled in private life[,] desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper . . . despotic in his ordinary demeanour — known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty — when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity — to join in the cry of danger to liberty — to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion — to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day — It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’ ”

I knew Trump was a time traveler. I didn't know he had met Hamilton

my dad fell for one of those fake IRS call scams years ago. He actually drove to the bank and was going to withdraw money to pay them and the bankers had to talk him out of it and explain to him that it's a scam and the IRS would never call your landline and extort cash payments from you. To this day he claims that he acted rationally and took "proper precautions" by "investigating with the bank." Mofo won't admit he got scared.

Lol. Good thing trump put a stop to all that for patriotic boomers to feel safe.

Dadgrajag: “Son, if you ever get a call from the IRS. Keep cool, perform an investigation with the bank, and keep it tactical.”

Quote

On MSNBC Saturday, former Clinton campaign official and director of SiriusXM progressive programming Zerlina Maxwell said that not only did Hillary Clinton do nothing wrong for criticizing Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), she should have if anything gone even harder.

“I think she didn’t go far enough, and we have to decide whether or not we’ll listen to Hillary Clinton, who lived through this in 2016, or whether or not we’re going to do what we did in 2016, is decide that what she’s saying is irrelevant because of how we feel personally about her, and I think that that would be a mistake,” said Maxwell.

“In 2016, anchors literally laughed at Hillary Clinton when she said it was Russia,” Maxwell continued. “Robby Mook went on television and said, ‘It was Russia that was hacking our emails and releasing them on Wikileaks.’ We were laughed at. I would like everyone to listen to us now because I, on the campaign, had that red banner over my email that said, ‘Government hackers are trying to infiltrate your account.’ So, this is a real warning. And I think that we would be smart to listen before it’s too late.”

I'd hardly call Romney "rebellious". He represents the dormant majority of the Republican establishment which is biding its time for Trump's inevitable collapse. Romney and others can smell the blood and are trying to get in early to be the de facto leaders of the new direction (which is the same as the old direction). Same goes for Ted Cruz and Ben Sasse and all the other guys we've been kind of quick to praise for their "bravery" or whatever.

CNN’s Jake Tapper called out Republican lawmakers on Sunday for their avoidance of CNN amid the latest controversial developments surrounding President Donald Trump.

“for the fourth week in a row, the White House and top House and Senate Republicans have refused to come on this newscast to answer our questions about all of these important developments.”

“We hope they will come to explain all of this to the American people,” Tapper said. “Because especially at a time when the White House has ended the practice of regular press briefings, they are shirking this important part of their duty to the American public to explain what they are doing with our money and in our name.”
