I think in these divisive times we sometimes forget we’re all Americans and that this administration is mostly stone cold cartoon villains.

2020 is stacking up to be a fascinating race between women who want fewer people to die and elderly men who feel like a magical stone owes them a fucking sword.

I think it’s only fair that Canadian teams win championships until Trump is out of the White House. Let him eat his Quarter Pounders alone.

I told one of my pastors that I think I'm becoming more religious but what I meant was every day I hope more fervently there's a real Hell

House Intelligence Committee Hearing on the Mueller Report and Counterintelligence

by Adam L Silvermanat11:07 am on June 12, 2019. It has 40 Comments.

The House Intelligence Committee is holding a hearing this morning on the Mueller Report and its counterintelligence implications. I just noticed that C-Span was not airing it until a few minutes ago. And the cable news networks don’t appear to be broadcasting it either. I’m not sure if this is a result of the snooze fest that was Monday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Mueller Report or because they were expecting to cover several hours of hearings by the House Oversight Committee culminating in a contempt vote for both Attorney General Barr and Secretary Ross. That vote has been postponed until, at least, this afternoon. So for those interested, here’s the live feed of the ongoing House Intelligence Committee on the Mueller Report and its counterintelligence implications.

Open thread!
