He's out in a year anyway.

He could publicly tell McConnell that he won't vote for a single Republican agenda item as long as Moore's in the Senate.

My mom mentioned the other week that Bass Pro Shops have a free Santa edit: http://www.basspro.com/shop/en/santas-wonderland Yeah, it's free, including a free photo. Gotta go early and get a free ticket to reserve your spot for the day though.

Study: Hillary Clinton’s emails got as much front-page coverage in 6 days as policy did in 69 The media does kinda really suck sometimes. The worst part is that "emails" was just the most boring possible thing ever on top of it.

Thankfully, this guy wasn't killed, but it shows why even being as non-threatening as possible, laying on the ground with your hands up in the air while you calmly talk to the police, can still lead to you getting shot. Florida police shoot black man lying down with arms in air The police wanted to shoot a severely autistic man who was sitting in the street holding a toy, and his caregiver intervened. They ended up shooting him in the leg instead.

In the Walter Scott case, where in a rare turn of events an officer was actually held accountable and just sentenced to 20 years for murdering a man, some of the initial jurors in the first mistrial said after the fact that they just couldn't imagine ever finding a cop guilty.

Police murdering citizens and facing no consequences can happen to white people, too. https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/939014...src=twsrc%5Etfw Don't watch unless you want to see a man murdered while crying for his life and crawling towards the police as instructed. The officer was just acquitted.

It's still a matter of how you (and he) portrayed it. He's not some wise, completely objective and impartial observer who's divined The Truth from The Evidence that the President simply cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice. It's one constitutional opinion on a matter that's never been settled by the courts or politically. Some scholars agree with him, some don't, and it isn't a reflection of partisan politics. Maybe a bunch of people are really contacting him privately telling him how smart and correct he is, maybe some are shunning him out of partisanship, but that doesn't mean his opinion on the issue is final.

You defended a white supremacist who was "just asking questions" about why there are so many Jews about CNN in the past. Maybe it's stuff like that where people are picking up a whiff of antisemitism.

I was actually just listening to Fresh Air this morning, and they had Toobin on this week covering exactly what the Mueller investigation is looking into and what, potentially, the crimes could be and the legal defense strategies thus far. Here's a a link with a transcript and audio. It's long, but it's worth a read or a listen. https://www.npr.org/2017/12/07/569080957/wi...s-it-s-complica

There is a legitimate Constitutional debate as to whether a sitting President can be charged with any crime at all, and whether a President can obstruct justice (at least federally, I don't think the arguments would apply to obstructing state investigations). Dershowitz takes the side that no, the President can't even possibly obstruct justice as he's the head of the executive branch. That's fine, but other Constitutional scholars and lawyers disagree. It's an unresolved question. Painting it as Dershowitz choosing "evidence" while everyone else is choosing "partisan politics" is a fundamentally dishonest depiction of the debate.

Alan Dershowitz has been painting himself as a martyr for years.

Fox News has been going full-bore on trying to delegitimize Mueller's investigation this week.

it's some random dude who isn't a journalist or anything, I don't know why that spread so much.

Evangelicals really, really want Israel to control Jerusalem as well, though. e: like way more than US Jews, something like 85% of Evangelicals and 40% of US Jews wanted the US to recognize Jerusalem as the capitol.
