1/ Hey committee Republicans! Have you noticed every single line of defense that you've mounted this week for the president has been utterly fucking obliterated?

Is this clear to you yet?

The fact pattern and your Fox News circle jerk strategy aren't the same thing.
2/ Timeline? Blown out.

No quid pro quo? blown out.

Hearsay? Blown the *fuck* out.

Rudy was a rogue agent? Blown out.

Sondlamd will save us. Blown out.
3/ I'm starting to think that your lawyers suck, Devin Nunes is dumber than a sack of hair, Jim Jordan is the end product of several generations of enthusiastic inbreeding, and Donald Trump is the worst supervillain ever.

1/ So you're aware, the White House "It was a dud" talking point as *literally a White House talking point* and is aimed not at the American people but at cable news producers and bookers.

Expect other efforts the change the subject today.
2/ Did more or less evidence emerge that damns the President?

More.

Did the fact pattern become more or less clear?

More.

Did the Trump lackeys look more or less like they are grasping at the straws of hearsay, whistleblower identity, and "Ukraine deserved it?

More.
3/ The system of playing the refs is definitional to the Bannon model of media whining. Watch for a *lot* more.

1/ If you want to point a finger at two men with absolute certainty of guilt when Trump gets re-elected by Bloomberg and Tom Steyer.

I can't explain to you even a tenth of their resources would do to alter the battlefield in this campaign.
2/ If they really cared about defeating Trump both of those men would be up on the fucking air right now with a massive tv and digital campaign nuking the living shit out of him in the 15 swing States.

But no. They have to jerk themselves off in public.
3/ In my new book Running Against the Devil I talked about the danger of third party and vanity candidates in an equation where the forces arrayed against Trump cannot afford to lose a single vote.

The groups these men fund on the outside currently will be put to their service.

1/ There's a possibly apocryphal story about the king of Saudi Arabia been given an airplane as a gift in the 1930s.

As he is taken up for the flight he is asked, ""Your majesty, don't you find this amazing?"
2/ "Isn't this a miracle? Did you ever imagine flying like an eagle?"

The king looks around as the plane flies around the desert, shrugs and says, "It is not supposed to do this?"

That story was on my mind today as I tempered my expectations for this evening.
3/ Republicans are supposed to win Kentucky. They're supposed to win in Mississippi. Hell, they're supposed to win all over Virginia except for NoVa.

If a candidate who did everything last night but wax Trump's balls can't win in Kentucky...

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#president @KRLS: "Rey o República no era un debate hasta que Felipe VI entro en política. En Europa hay muchas monarquías que entienden su rol, básicamente callar en política porque nadie les ha votado. No es el caso de España".

Entrevista a @WRadioColombia (Hilo 👇)
#president @KRLS: "El català es una lengua hablada por 10 millones de personas pero no se puede hablar en el @Europarl_EN . Soy crítico con las instituciones europeas porque quiero una Europa mucho mas democrática"
#president @KRLS: "Quiero una EU que alce la voz cuando uno de sus estados miembros, como España, viola los derechos fundamentales. Hay muchos ciudadanos europeos que sienten decepción al ver que solo priman los intereses económicos y no los derechos fundamentales"

1. So this is quite alarming, and I think pretty much overturns any crim-justice goodwill that Gorsuch had accumulated recently.

In Garza v Idaho, Thomas and Gorsuch basically said they’d like to reverse Gideon.

2. They seem annoyed that the Court has strayed so far from what they see as the right-to-counsel’s originalist meaning: not a positive right, just that counsel cannot be forbidden.

You’re entitled not just to a lawyer, but to an EFFECTIVE lawyer?! Poor ppl are so demanding.
3. Finality.

Who cares if you railroad an innocent person through the system, or if you seriously overpunish someone far beyond what is necessary? We’ve got to wrap. this. up.

It’s a pernicious concept, premised on discounting the human value of the defendant.

Starting today's Kavanaugh thread with the now-deleted tweets from last night from the Senate Judiciary Committee's Republican chief counsel for nominations — and his explanation this morning for those tweets (and for his having deleted them).
Note: Mike Davis worked on nominations in the George W. Bush White House political affairs office while Brett Kavanaugh's DC Circuit nomination was pending, per his LinkedIn bio. (More recently, he rejoined his old 10th Circuit boss, Neil Gorsuch, briefly as a SCOTUS clerk.)
Family of Dr. Ford puts out a letter of support, per @bridgitmendler, who calls Ford her aunt:

And they’re lying. The President can either believe Russia or he can believe our country’s intel chiefs, generals, cabinet secretaries, and diplomats who’ve all said the same thing: Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and they’ll be back in 2018.
The President can either believe his Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, or he can believe Vladimir Putin. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
The President can either believe his Secretary of State and former CIA Director Mike Pompeo, or he can believe Vladimir Putin. nypost.com/2018/05/23/pom…
