Didn't McCain say that the chance of him confirming Tillerson was the same as the chance of pigs flying?

Press secy @seanspicer also says WH Chief of Staff Reince Priebus directing federal agencies to initiate immediate regulatory freeze.

An engineer was visiting my wife's cube at work and they were talking about the march in Boston tomorrow. A colleague who is a Trump supporter came over and yelled at them, telling the engineer he wasn't supposed to be in their area. She then reported him to HR for making her feel uncomfortable. Special snowflakes, eh?

Doubtful given Bernie Sanders is still on the national stage with his rhetoric about the system being rigged. Once her dirty laundry with shills like Steve Mnuchin and Willie Brown gets more attention, she'll be toast.
Pretty much who you'd expect:
Blumenthal (D-CT)
Booker (D-NJ)
Cortez-Masto (D-NV)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Harris (D-CA)
Heinrich (D-NM)
Merkley (D-OR)
Udall (D-NM)
Van Hollen (D-MD)
Warren (D-MA)
Wyden (D-OR)
NV: Sessions (R-AL)

He said that a couple of weeks ago yep (though it was walked back by his spokeswoman as a joke). Of course, as of four days ago he was leaning the other way now:
Then there's this from a day ago:
My guess is he's genuinely conflicted/at least somewhat opposed but McCain can't really be counted on.

I think if any new Senators want the nomination, they are going to need to be the Ted Cruz of democrats if they want a shot.
Looks like the cowboy assasin is trying to asphyxiate him in the first one.here are a bunch of big ass pics of george w bush at the inauguration today
always shocks me how old he looks nowadays
Edit: I can't bring myself to hate W even though he presided over an awful administration. He never fails to fully humanize himself with his affable goofiness.

Just watched highlights of the inaugural address. He says we'll get rid of politicians who are all talk and no action. So far, Trump fits that definition best. He hasn't even finished filling out positions in his administration. He hasn't even revealed his tax returns lol. He hasn't done shit.
Joke post? Has to be
BTW, I was extremely disgusted to hear Trump, line for line, use the words from the tweet he used to shit on John Lewis as an applause line in his inaugural address. gross.
edit: he could stop winking at fascists and white supremacists now that he got their votes but that doesn't seem like it's happening.

I feel something similar towards him, despite his deeds, as well. (Or maybe its just longing for anyone else besides Donald fucking Trump) Btw, I do believe the guy behind him in the cowboy hat is Dick Cheney!
I think someone posted in the thread a couple months back that she treats her staff badly.
I think it was whyamihere lol
Basically, a section in the California DOJ recommended that Harris, as AG, pursue OneWest (Mnuchin's bank) for foreclosure fraud. She ultimately declined. She doesn't have the smoothest answer about it, just saying her office reviewed the evidence and opted not to go further. There's no real explanation of the reasoning behind the decision.
She was AG of California, not a USA. She didn't work for Holder.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you.
The memo with the recommendation was sent in 2013. It was leaked a couple weeks ago. But yeah, this was concerning California law. If the implication is that there was political pressure, maybe, but she didn't need Holder's permission for anything.
She's close with the admin. They were deliberately avoiding major prosecutions in Obama's first admin under Holder. There's pretty much zero chance that if it were in the '08-'11 timeframe she wouldn't have pressure.
Second term, that wouldn't be the case.
Gotcha.
Well, she got elected to state office at the same time as Brown in 2010, so she would've still been San Francisco DA during that period.
Wow, what a maverick!
Being pissed off by asshole outsiders coming in just to cause trouble is fine. He lives/works in the city.

She will likely position herself as the Dem VP. I don't see a woman at the top of the ticket winning for another 8-12 years at least.

She was just referencing them in a convoluted way. Basically, mentioning the American Carnage Tour that happened in the early 2010s. He wasn't on the show or anything.

I don't think I can agree to this. Hillary being a woman was probably just as problematic for many people as Obama being black. Difference is Obama wasn't a target of the right for the last twenty years. And had the letter never came out a week before election, there's a good chance she could have been the president right now.
If "people" have a problem with a female president, I doubt they were going to vote Democrat in the first place.
