Goddam right. You do the right thing -- which this republic desperately needs done -- and they pull your credentials. So what? You have a phone and your have your sources. or you should. And you continue to report on this presidency as your colleagues now do outside the Pentagon. Enough dishonor.
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.

Stop calling MTG a "voice of reason." She's acting like any cult leader who's been pushed out from an internal power struggle. She's promoted Sandy Hook as a hoax and Jewish space-laser conspiracies. She is nothing less than a complete loon, whom no one should take seriously.

The problem with nonviolence arises when the opposition is too stupid to note anything other than violence. Until we see some heads on pikes, we continue toward pure fascism.

Isn’t it cool that the founders drew up specific codes forbidding our top elected official from profiting off the office, but didn’t bother to draw up actual penalties because they couldn’t imagine a con man getting elected? Governance by handshake sucks when one of the hands is permanently dirty.
