I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."
This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.
Very Reversal of Fortune …
The only good thing about this is the Murdochs’ fury when they realize they’ve been out-Foxed.
They are being called the "Liquor Cabinet" & I can't unsee it
Can’t keep up anymore.
This is like Nixon sending Bebe Rebozo to negotiate with the North Vietnamese!
No left-aligned advocate anywhere can say anything silly or else the Dem Party must bow & scrape & apologize & promise to be more masculine going forward. The president can make a video of himself shitting on Americans from a plane & the GOP will never be asked about it. Those are just the rules.
Say what you want about J. Edgar Hoover, but he never would have been caught drinking at anyplace called The Poodle Room.
Man of the people.
#ThePitt did have one genuine laugh tonight: Dr . Langdon’s “Come here often?”
To borrow a Sondheim lyric, “an imitation Hitler but with littler charm” …
Stocks rise on news that most of the ill effects of the war will fall on poor people.
Short of excommunication, the Pope should order an old-school nun to whack him with a ruler and then make him stand in the corner …
The way things are going, Charles should use his Congressional address to sing “You’ll Be Back.”

It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.
A useful reminder of just how empty, unscrupulous and horrible JD Vance truly is. Only question is how his wife Usha, presumably a smart woman with an international world view, can put up with him.
Beginning to suspect there is a full-time aide in the White House whose only job is to dream up lame excuses, however improbable, for the President to use.

There are probably a few things that should get you banned from Hollywood forever but one of them is definitely writing or in any way being involved in a movie in which a dog dies
I don't know what we have to do to make clear to Hollywood that no one anywhere wants to see movies in which a dog dies
When it comes time to bury Trump will there be any church willing to claim him?
He’s completely mad …. and meanwhile White House Correspondents plan to avert their eyes so he’ll attend their dinner …
So the first question Vance should get when he next pops up in public should be “Trump or the Pope — which side are you on?”
JD Vance is on a historic roll:
He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.
Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.
Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.
Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.
In Bruges scene where Colin Farrell is pointing a gun at his head and Brendon Gleeson is also pointing a gun at Colin Farrell's head
Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute
In other words, “I know you are but what am I?”
An armistice can take weeks to negotiate. A comprehensive peace treaty can take months. No one on Earth who knows a thing about history or diplomacy thought anything could be resolved in six hours. This will confirm for everyone the extreme incompetence and bad faith of the American regime.
At least he didn’t kill the Pope on this trip.
Marathon? I’m sure every hour in JD’s presence must feel like an eternity - but come on, he just got there.
