With all due respect, I want to ingest whatever hallucinogenic Bill Kristol is using right now.
Genuine kudos to Kristol and all the other Never Trumpers who have made a very difficult & costly break with their party. But let's be real. After 3 years of Trump's presidential corruption & 70 years of Trump acting like creep, it is unlikely GOP will break with him now.
What could possibly come out in the next few weeks that is so much worse than what we already know, bad enough to flip GOP lawmakers who would tremble at the thought of whispering the mildest rebuke to Trump?

1. I have to say, I thought I'd never want to read another word on Scorsese & Marvel movies. I was wrong. This Scorsese op ed is excellent. nytimes.com/2019/11/04/opi…
2. Scorsese's real concern (obvious from his original remarks) wasn't about Marvel movies but about the diminishing theatrical spaces for non-franchise movies. That's a legitimate concern -- one that you don't have to dislike Marvel movies (or like Scorsese movies) to share
3. In terms of the dilemma of directors like Scorsese, Coppola, Bill Forsyth etc. in the age of franchise, it strangely mirrors the experience of artists like Don Heck (1929-1995) & Gene Colon (1926-2011) in the comic book industry as superheroes came to dominate.

1. Sanders and Warren are going to face a lot of headwind going forward, and one major source will be Nancy Pelosi.
2. Pelosi's interview with Bloomberg News was a pretty explicit shot-across-the-bow, letting Democrats know she'll stand in the way of a Green New Deal, Medicare for All & really any expansive policy commitments.
3. Some thoughts on how Sanders & Warren could deal with resistance from the congressional Democratic leadership. thenation.com/article/warren…

The Ultimate Fighting Championship folks.
Trump is a historically unpopular president. He polls at 40% but only half that strongly support him. The vast majority hate him or are defending him only out of partisan reflexiveness.
The only places Trump is not likely to get booed at are his own rallies & maybe white evangelical churches. Wide swaths of the population see him as toxic.
I'm puzzled that people are saying Trump got booed "even" at a MMA event. The fans of MMA are young & diverse -- it's a naturally anti-Trump crowd.

Very good reason to exercise skepticism about the Current Goings On: there is no "EU Commission Security Counsel."
I would caution against lumping too many unconnected elements into whatever is going on with Pence right now. When you start connecting a Russian sub fire and a terrorism response team taking off and other random things, you get into conspiracy theory land.
When you start pretending that you know what's going on with Pence when you don't, and you definitely know that all these things are connected when none of them might be, you turn into a QAnon person. Don't turn into a QAnon person.

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

Now how could the President possibly know what happened in the back of what is essentially a flying Secure Containment Information Facility (SCIF) in July 2016 when he was only a candidate?
Also, given that WJC and LL met very deliberately, wouldn't they have made sure the coast was clear before doing so?
What if the Wizards and the Warlocks tipped off a local reporter as to the supposed unscheduled stop?

Very disappointing & worrying:

Yesterday in Parliament the Immigration Bill passed its second reading. The Bill as it stands will remove the legal basis on which all EU citizens base their immigration status on.

1/
404 MPs by either voting for the bill or by not voting at all failed over 2.1m EU citizen constituents they're meant to represent & protect. Leaving them without a legal immigration status in case of no deal without replacing it with new legislation in case of no deal Brexit.

2/
If the immigration bill is passed unchanged before Brexit day under no-deal Brexit it strips 3.6m EU citizens of their current immigration status they rely on to live in the UK lawfully. Leaving EU citizens at the total grace & mercy of the Home Office.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
