Speaking of fools, I saw Meathead (aka Archie Bunker's SIL) on Tucker Carlson tonight. Meatheads do not gain wisdom as they age.; 2/16/18, 9:23 PM

Before he tries to read anyone the riot act.; 2/16/18, 9:46 PM

Unless I missed it.; 2/16/18, 10:02 PM

Poor meathead.

These hilarious and BS indictments have thrown all of Reiners talking points into the toilet.

Which is why Reiner went full "lets not quibble about who killed who..." mode.

Reiner denied he called Trump treasonous in the past (a laughable lie) even as he was calling Trump treasonous on the show and then Tucker hit him with how much Hollywood sucks up to the ChiComs and changes content to suit them.

Reiner actually claimed he didnt know anything about that!

It was hilarious.; 2/16/18, 10:27 PM

Mark said...: It's an amazing thing, isn't it Portia? 200,000 invisible people. Maybe it's because they are led by women. Women who actually celebrate women and their bodies, rather than despise them and want to suppress their nature.; 2/16/18, 10:46 PM

madAsHell said...: At this point, Mueller is just throwin' smoke with the 12 Russians. Mueller will put out as much disinformation as possible, and then the MSM will have be able to write whatever story they like.

It's the Steele dossier all over again.; 2/16/18, 10:52 PM

Why the other subject was released

Mark said...: Mueller's indictment of companies in addition to people was a fatal mistake I think. A court might refuse to entertain a defense attorney's motions to muck things up if a personal defendant failed to appear (and the Russian individuals will never come here).

However, a company can appear in court only through counsel. So the Russians can retain lawyers here to file all sorts of motions on behalf of the companies attacking Mueller's farce of an indictment and overall prosecution, only furthering their scheme of causing discord in the U.S. political system.; 2/16/18, 11:13 PM
Mark said...: So, does the indictment include the part about the FBI paying money that went to the Russians who produced the disinformation in the Steele dossier? Is Jim Comey one of the unnamed additional co-conspirators?; 2/16/18, 11:22 PM
Gahrie said...: I don't read your blog daily but I've yet to see anything about the 'March for Life" which happened last month.

Don't hold your breath...Althouse thinks it's ok to kill babies before they are born.; 2/16/18, 11:22 PM
bolivar di griz said...: No silly person, that is standard operating procedure.; 2/16/18, 11:23 PM
bolivar di griz said...: That's about the steele dossier but it applies to that other peculiar institution.; 2/16/18, 11:25 PM
langford peel said...: I am waiting for all of the Mexican Nationals who interfered in our election on the Internet to be indicted by Mueller.

Oh wait. Mexicans don't have to obey our laws.

Nevermind.; 2/16/18, 11:47 PM
John Pickering said...: This is a terrific Trumpalist post:

Mike Sylwester said...
It would be a hilarious circus if the Russian Government would hire US lawyers (e.g. Dershowitz) to defend all the Russians in a trial here in the USA.

The prosecution would be a farce.

The US Government would be humiliated, and the Russian Government would have the last laugh.

I would be cheering for the Russians.

Here is a proud member of Ann's tribe, standing strong to defend the civil rights of Russian espionage agents. Ann, of course, is said to be a lawyer, and could doubtless be of considerable assistance to Prof. D. should she choose to participate in this patriotic defense. Come on Ann, your country needs you!; 2/17/18, 12:32 AM
langford peel said...: Boy your stalking is getting tiresome.

Perhaps we should have the FBI look into your on-line comments dude.

Nah. They would just ignore it anyway.

Don't worry you are as safe as a Mexican breaking the law at Home Depot.; 2/17/18, 12:51 AM
n.n said...: Althouse thinks it's ok to kill babies before they are born.

From her posts, and commentary, I don't think she denies the life of the child, and, at least implicitly, acknowledges that abortion rites are a wicked solution to a hard problem. I would characterize her position to be at the center, leaning left, with a wobble. Well, baby steps. While both one-child and selective-child are a minority opinion, the latter's normalization is evidence of cultural corruption, and will not be resolved with a directive as was done with one-child and the Chinese Communists' change of heart.; 2/17/18, 1:06 AM
n.n said...: March for Life... Maybe it's because they are led by women. Women who actually celebrate women and their bodies

It's an awesome responsibility. Many will be called, many will answer, and will rise to meet the challenge... with the father/husband at her side, equal in rights and complementary in Nature.; 2/17/18, 1:16 AM

jaydub said...: Re: Mueller indictment. Would Steele's involvement in the development of the dossier, including employing Russian government sources in its development, not be considered to be interference by a foreigner in a US election? Could Hillary Clinton's and the DNC's financial support for development of that dossier be considered to be aiding and abetting interference by a foreigner in a US election? Would the DOJ and FBI involvement in the dossier and it's employment not be considered to be collusion with a foreigner who was interfering with a US election? Do the answers to these questions explain why Mueller charged the 14 Russians with bank fraud and other non-election crimes rather than interfering with an election or collusion?; 2/17/18, 3:36 AM
Kevin said...: I'm waiting for Jimmy Kimmel to quit making a fool of himself.

Outrage is the new comedy.

Kimmel is financially secure. He has decided the largest compensation he can wring from his job is the adoration of people who agree with him politically.

This is the path he has chosen.; 2/17/18, 5:45 AM
Kevin said...: We should not be upset at Jimmy.

We should laugh at how he dances for the people when the man in the White House tells him to.

He is a nothing more than a highly-paid monkey on a chain.; 2/17/18, 5:47 AM
