Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?
Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

The president of the United States just called for the execution of his political opponents. We cannot normalize this. This is a moment for moral clarity.

Another kicker - the person at the top can issue obviously illegal orders & he is immune from prosecution for doing it. Every person below him is put in unenviable position of disobeying a direct order or refusing on grounds of it being illegal.
Fuck this SC for giving him that power.

"We need solid guarantees that they won't simply renege"
What kind of guarantee can you possibly get from a regime that has been lying and breaking the law from the word go.
Hold the damn line.

@schiff.senate.gov is supporting Schumer's deal but is worried:
"They're telling us they're going to cheat on an agreement, and we need in whatever agreement we reach, to have some really solid guarantees in that legislation that they simply can't go and renege after it's done."

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.
The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.
