Doesn't this fall under obstruction of justice?

Remember in Rocky 3 when Ivan Drago killed James Brown? Movies were good back then.

There's so much wrong with that post, but also so much right.

Al Green calling for Trump to be impeached?!? He needs to put a little love in his heart.

And then the dam broke.

A flood is coming that will shape the future of our Republic in ways no one can predict. Except that the speed with which this has all happened, just over a hundred days into President Donald Trump's dumpster fire of an administration, means it was all very predictable. And no one who played a role in normalizing this President should be allowed to forget it.

We have news that the Department of Justice, under Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, will appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the Russia interference scandal. Apparently the President was only given a 30 minute heads up, and it came while he was interviewing new heads for the FBI. The Special Counsel will be former FBI Director Robert Mueller. These types of investigations tend to stir up more dirt than anyone thought was there. We will see if that happens now.

The stock market plummets. The White House staff is in chaos. The chorus of Republicans suddenly eager to be on the right side of history gets louder. Most of the time Washington moves in slow motion - except when it doesn't. And this moment is one of those times. We are living in a news cycle that can be measured in nanoseconds.

And amidst the news, another blockbuster report by the Washington Post. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy apparently said last June that he thought Putin pays Trump. At which point Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who was also there, stopped the conversation and swore those who were present to secrecy. When the Post asked about the incident, spokesmen for both representatives denied the story on the record. When they were informed that the Post reporters had heard a tape of the exchange, they changed their tune - saying it was a joke.

What all this makes clear is that the concerns which now threaten the integrity of our government were well known and played for cynical theater. Well the curtain may be coming down on this act of this tragedy. New actors wait to take the stage for a drama for which the script is yet to be written.

Here's a death to feel less bad about:

Roger Ailes, who built Fox News into a powerhouse, dies at 77

Clearly he sacrificed himself in an attempt to distract from the various scandals.

Loyal to the very end.

Fuck.

The first "Seattle" band I got into, and I was actually going to go tomorrow night in Columbus. I hadn't seen Soundgarden in 20 years.

RIP Chris. One of my top ten favorite bands of all time. And Audioslave was close there too.

 

[Comeds]

I did not really like Soundgarden or Audioslave but thought he seemed like a good guy and I am sorry he died so young.

Wtf ...damn. Rip chris

Wow. One of only two voices that send a shiver up my spine.
Honoured to have seen him do an acoustic show.

That sucks real bad.

Yeah, Rocky 3 was awesome, but I'm pretty sure Apollo was played by Lando Calrissian, who wasn't even famous for the Star Wars movies yet.

 

[elocomotive]

Dude, you haven't even been President long enough for it to be a witch hunt, much less the greatest in American history. What a snowflake.
