Thank you, coulda found that my damn self, were I clever.

He's actually listed in the Wiki article. My point, however, is that it's been popular among some sectors of the far right to label ALL environmentalists as terrorists.

In his particular case one could almost wish he was right.

Well, there was the Monkeywrench Gang, but they were fictitious.

Were they Zamibians involved in the bowling green massacre protesting against the environmental damage of covfee plantations?

No.

Cohen's place has been dawn-raided on behalf of Mueller. Donny gets all hot and bothered about "national security" or somesuch. Cohen is obviously sinking deeper. How long before Donny cuts the rope?

Too soon to pick Trump?

White House Survivor
 

This made me giggle

JUST IN: White House Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert has resigned, Press Sec. Sarah Sanders says.

"President Trump thanks him for his patriotic service and wishes him well.”

Quite the dark horse candidate for the next WH .... un-survivor. :)

any indication why?
Did Trump just fish his name out of a bowl because he desperately needed to fire someone to make himself feel better?

Bloomberg is reporting that he was asked to resign by John Bolton.

This is worrisome.
Bolton has a reputation for getting rid of everyone who disagrees with him.

And another one off the island - Michael Anton, national security spokesman. Courtesy of Bolton as well.

Bolton likes to be surrounded by yes men.
Trump likes to be surrounded by yes men.

2 peas in a pod.

At some point, will someone remind Bolton that Trump made a big deal (at least in the campaign) about how he was opposed to the war in Iraq?

Maybe Bolton will fire him for his lack of loyalty?

Rumblings over at Justice again. Rosenstein and Sessions in the cross-hairs again.

"[T]rying to put greater limits" on the special counsel is such a polite way of saying "obstructing justice" in the only federal criminal investigation into election meddling by foreign agents and their domestic collaborators.

It does not count since Trump can't fire him, but some kind of honorable mention needs to be given to Paul Ryan,since I have a feeling that dealing with Trump is a major reason he is abandoning ship...

Agreed. And glad you refrained from using that four letter word.

A number of people on the internet, in commenting on Ryan's de facto quitting,posted a film clip from "Titanic" showing a number of Rats running away from the rising water....

And speaking of White House Survivors, Preibus is being talked about as a possible candidate to replace Ryan. Right now the only GOP contender in Ryan's district is an open White Supremist who posted a anti Semitic tirade last month on facebook which prompted the head of the Wisconsin GOP to denounce him and say he has no place in the GOP...
This morning there is a scramble to find a respectable candidate for that distreict, and Preibus is among the front runners.

My god. What do the dems have?

Borborygmi.

Cute. And thanks to George Carlin for teaching me that term.

Does Priebus live in that district or is this a carpetbagger's situation?

For certain values of respectable...

Have no idea.
But ,to be honest, Carpetbagging in another distreict of state you have been a long term residence of does not carry the stigma of carpetbagging across state borders.

:)
I could not have told you where I learned that term, but now I can say with near-certainty that it was probably from George Carlin.

Is there a video of a rat staying around for two years, attempting to steer the ship, eating from the first class pantry, watching everybody else drown and then hopping onto the Carpathia like he owns it?

Seems like ... Trump dressed up as a three year old, throwing cripples over the side as he bullies his way into a lifeboat ... would be more appropriate.

Most of the one posting that clip commented that Ryan was only the latest of a steady stream of GOP reps calling it quite....

Quite what?

;)

I meant quits. So I will never win a spelling bee...

Blame it on your smartphone's auto-correct. Everyone else does. :D

I know, I just couldn't resist. I'm a sucker for a straight line.

Preibus has stated he is not interested in running for the House in Ryan's district.

Who's next ?

Pruitt ? Rosenstein ?

Both are getting hammered , albeit from different sides.

Pruitt is just one Time magazine cover away from getting the sack.

Well if Jeffy Sessions can get one, Pruitt should be able to as well. Wonder if he is that dumb, or that wedded to his job...

This guy gets a honorable mention:

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...resigns-522867

Is he on logger's list?! Or doesn't impregnation count?

Rosenstein is the word on the street.

Perhaps this thread should reconsider its focus on who is going to be staying on the island, not who is leaving.

My bet is on Pence (assuming things go well) or else the designated survivor.

Pence being the designated survivor and actually being the last on the island is both probable and exceptionally worrying.

It's hard to fire Pence. He can resign or be impeached but Trump can't just fire him.

Craig, I don't know if you spotted the 180-degree change in focus which led to d4m10n's comment?

It was a sort of rhetorical comment. Sorry!
