But You Liked Me Mr. President
Imagine Lindsey Graham thinking Trump likes and respects him. Trump only likes dudes who are from "central casting" and even then only briefly.
What's Going On With Mushmelon
I bet he's mad because someone (whoever) told him giving Turkey the green light would be Really Smart and he's actually getting pushback from Republicans who for whatever reason are not on board and his little brain is confused.
You'll Regret This When Chelsea Clinton Is President
Certainly not the first person to make this point, but trying to apply any kind of consistency to conservatives along the lines of "if you think Trump should be an unaccountable president who is above the law and with dictatorial powers then just get ready for the iron rule of President Chelsea Clinton!!!" completely misses the point of their worldview.
They don't think presidents should have that kind of power. They think conservative presidents should. They don't think Democrats should be allowed to be president at all. Laws are for other people. In fact laws are tools that their team uses to crush your team.
#notallconservatives, whatever, but you can't prod authoritarian conservatives with your view of "consistency" because they are perfectly consistent, just in a different way than you imagine. Hypocrisy is a hilarious concept to them, and they laugh when you invoke it. They aren't hypocrites. They are perfectly consistent in their view that they have the right to rule in any way they choose and Democrats don't.

Intervention
I know the post below seems like some flippant hippy peacenik shit, but even without getting into some grand debate about the appropriate involvement of the United States in this conflict (or potential conflict) or that one, giving people the tools to massacre each other everywhere in the world probably isn't the best plan if you care about people (not) being massacred. You don't have to think our policy is literally by and for the benefit of our arms productions industries (that's crazy conspiracy talk!) to see that it is indistinguishable from one that is.

Marks
Rich people are so dumb.
Holmes dropped out of Stanford University at 19 to form Theranos in 2003. The Palo Alto company promised to revolutionize health care by requiring only a pinprick of blood to run hundreds of tests. At its peak, it was valued at $9 billion and had a partnership with Walgreens.
Big Day For Our Big Wet Boy
He has cancelled his golf game, presumably to man the twitter machine.

And after I finish tweeting, Slick Rick is on next
Hilarious.
Yo, where's Pence and Barr?
Well I don't know they're late
Told 'em the time, oh I forgot the date
Man, you did it again, oh no
Yo, here we go, come on, here we go, come on
President Trump told House Republicans that he made his now infamous phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the urging of Energy Secretary Rick Perry — a call Trump claimed he didn’t even want to make.

But My Good Friends In The GOP, Those Fine Folks
Joe Biden has watched the GOP his whole life and never thought "wow they would do that to me, also, too."
Mr. Biden was even blunter, and angrier, in private after news first emerged that Mr. Trump had exhorted the Ukrainian government to investigate him and his son.
“I can’t believe this guy is going after my family like this,” he told Senator Chris Coons of Delaware, as the two campaigned in Iowa, Mr. Coons recalled.
Weather
Global warming aside, the United States has the worst weather in the world. Of course the weather isn't the same everywhere, but almost everywhere in this country it's bad in its own way. Much of the Midwest literally has the worst weather in the world. There are colder places and there are hotter places, but few places where you get 105 degree days in July and -10 degree days in January. Even some places with more moderate weather overall (highs not so high, lows not so low) have bizarrely large intraday temperature swings.
Today is a pretty nice day, if cold compared to... 2 days ago.

Both Sides
I agree that we should impeach both Trump and Joe Biden.
Just to keep the universe in harmony.

Trump's Gonna Be In The Stocks By Tomorrow
Inevitable.
Who's in charge of strategy: Officials said Kushner and White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney are the officials most focused on developing an impeachment strategy.
