Pensive restraint

What’s behind Mike Pence’s stony visage? Trump may plan to dump him for Nikki Haley
It looks as if The Trump Show will take some interesting turns in the new season, which begins Jan. 3. The teaser we saw on Tuesday was a doozy.

Hey remember a couple weeks ago when Trump boasted Nancy Pelosi should be Speaker again because she'd embarrass the Democrats? - Matthew Chapman




The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

The news from Yemen gets more and more terrible. This week's updates:
1. It's getting worse. November's casualty numbers were highest of the entire war.
2. Surprise! We never billed the Saudis for the mid-air refueling. U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for their war. - Sen. Chris Murphy





Jesus.
A technology company linked to a sanctioned Russian oligarch is among the bidders for a Pentagon contract to store sensitive data — possibly even U.S. nuclear codes.


Mike Flynn is also, among other things, the #1 reason why Mike Pence should never be allowed to pardon anybody. - John Fugelsang


This video deserves a repeat




Sex, Guns & Moscow
Admitted Russian spy Maria Butina’s Republican operative boyfriend wrote in private communications that he was involved in setting up a “very private line of communication” between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Trump's Consigliere Is Sentenced To 3 Years

This video also deserves a repeat






Paul Ryan Proudly Put America Deeper In Debt
When Paul Ryan became speaker of the House in 2015, the federal budget deficit was $438 billion. He blamed the “failed policies of President Obama” for budget deficits that had exploded to $1.4 trillion in 2009, the year after the Great Recession, though shortfalls began shrinking in the following years and were continuing to fall as Ryan took the gavel.
Today, with Ryan preparing to retire from Congress, the annual federal budget deficit is again approaching $1 trillion. Over his two decades in Congress, the total national debt increased from less than $6 trillion to nearly $22 trillion. 


Trump:
“Nancy’s in a situation where it’s not easy to talk right now”
 
Pelosi:
“Please don’t characterize the strength that I bring to this meeting”
