The Goat Pen

So Trump has a news conference called for 11:30 or so. That's got me thinking - what's to keep him from firing Sessions and Rosenstein and installing one of his lackey's as acting DOJ head? The election is over - why not? Throw a hail mary before Mueller hands down his report (or indictment).

"As a good liberal, you are pretty hostile to most other personal freedoms in the 1st, 2nd, and 10th amendments - especially of life, speech, religion, firearm ownership, federalist devolution of power to the states."

Not me, I support all of those. So you're wrong again...

its tough. Its even hard on the professional libertarians

For millions of people, ideology is the lighthouse in a dark sea of politics. An uncompromising vision of how the world is supposed to work, and how to fix it, is just too alluring for partisans to ignore. Political parties’ most frenzied supporters are demanding ideological purity from their candidates as they push out moderates, especially on the right. As a result, ever fewer temperate souls are left to hold the middle ground in politics.

Yet the libertarian think tank Niskanen Center in Washington, DC, argues the moderate middle is the future. Niskanen president Jerry Taylor wrote in an Oct. 29 essay that he is dropping the libertarian banner the center has shared with the likes of the more conservative Cato Institute. In a 3,595-word farewell to the libertarian world, he says libertarianism, and ideology itself, is a dead end. “I have abandoned that libertarian project…because I have come to abandon ideology,” writes Taylor, who invites readers to flee the “clean and well-lit prison of one idea.”

The future of American politics, he argues, is principled compromise, even if the present couldn’t seem further away. ”I think we’re living in a world in which moderation has virtually disappeared,” he says in an interview with Quartz. “And how’s that working out? I’m skating to where the puck is going to be.”

Orange dude is sticking his foot in his mouth again. And what's with the Democratic tie?

He's a moron

He looks like he's been wearing a Lone Ranger mask in the tanning bed...

It would be nice if he actually answered a question. What an arrogant asshole.

I liked how when every reporter with a foreign accent asked a question, Trump looked around the room and whispered "I can't understand what he's saying"...

Racist President

Absolutely. Today if possible. Ivanka as Attorney General, Junior as FBI Director, and Jared as DNI. That would get to the bottom of all the criminal activities that have been going on all of those departments for the past three years. And as of today, he has a Senate that would confirm them.

Step 1, Fire Sessions

Already done:

Goodbye, Mr. Magoo. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Man I'm good.

Yes, in this case, you are. Well done.

CNN is reporting that Rosenstein is on his way to the White House right now. Let the disinfecting begin.

Cleaning house before the impeachment. Nice.

Bring on the impeachment hearings. Put the beautiful faces of Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler and Maxie Waters on tv 24/7/365. Maybe put lady part hats on all of them. All the way to 2020 if possible. The more the better.

The House impeachment measure will pass along party lines. Good. Then it will go to the Senate, where it will require a 2/3 majority to remove Trump. heh.

Some aspects of the coming Mother of All Witch Hunts might go all the way to the Supreme Court, and will be voted on by Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Thomas, who are both just WILD about Democrat witch hunts. heh heh.

I hope pelosi starts investigating asap.....her two years will be up before you know it.

Pelosi may not last two months if some RWNJ has his way.
