There's a bit of a new development on the Donnie Orangeglo picture.

https://twitter.com/farhip/status/1226987107891208192?s=19

It's not really that the photographer finally spoke out about it. It's that the WaPo/Bloomberg pictures taken at the same time actually look worse.

Dude quit after the White House pressured the DoJ to withdraw his sentencing recommendation.

Yep. He was detailed to DOJ from his spot as a special assistance US Attorney in Maryland. He just quit the case and quit DOJ, a "noisy withdrawal", and now goes back to his job for Maryland.

I missed that part. I thought he was fired completely.

Nope, wasn't a firing. This was a DEUCES MOTHERFUCKER situation.

He was either told to rescind his sentencing memo and told his superiors to go gently caress themselves, or he was told to resign and also told his superiors to go gently caress themselves.

That's what you're supposed to loving do. You don't compromise your morals, you don't equivocate, you don't seek to contain Trumpian corruption - you quit in protest and tell everyone to go gently caress themselves.

So to make sure I got this right since I'm slow on the uptake with legal stuff, this is him telling Trump to go gently caress himself sideways with the bullshit new sentencing guideline he was given for Stone and walking out the door with double deuces in the air to make a public scene out of it?

Yep. The only question is who told him to pull the old sentencing guideline and who told that superior to order the pulling of the old sentencing guideline.

In a vacuum, per WaPo, Stone would get recommended like 1.5-2 years for the crimes he did. But because there was witness intimidation and threats tacked on, that knocks it to a 7-9 recommendation. That said, the threats were really loving weird and the threatee is a real loving weirdo. So there was some ambivalence in what to go after.

Then Donnie Orangeglo tweeted. DOJ says the decision was made pre-tweet. They're full of poo poo.

By the way, the judge probably won't give a gently caress about the recommendation and will do her own thing - after grilling DOJ about all this bullshit.

She was confirmed to that U.S. Attorney spot, then oversaw the major poo poo going on. Then, Mnuchin picked her for a Treasury Undersecretary gig, so she resigned (and got replaced by the fuckhead that signed today's Stone sentencing recommendation redaction). Now, her nomination got pulled, likely because she'd be asked "so hey, when did you find out about the Ukraine funding hold?"

edit - also this is your average voter for you:

The basic story of the Democratic Primary: Anyone who says they know what's going to happen is lying, barely anything has happened yet, and people like the whole drat field. All three are leading to a shitload of last-minute decisions, so the ground games and turnout operations are completely useless.

Also, be wary of the people saying "well, Bernie's ideology is capped out at 40% while 60% are moderates!" A lot of moderates like Bernie as their second choice, as remember, voters are way more non-ideological / not policy driven than we expect.

Man, for not being a self professed Democrat, it sure appears that a whole lot of self proclaimed Democrats think he's best to represent them :thunk:

A potential issue though is that Bernie isn't turning out a different electorate, at least not yet. Bernie's base is the Youngs, and Young's haven't turned out at a higher-than-normal percentage yet in Iowa/New Hampshire. He's getting enough to win and all, but he's not changing the overall electoral makeup.

I'm not making the HURF BLURF BERNIE SHOULD BE WINNING BY MORE argument, just a factual note that the Youngs still aren't voting enough.

Sinking in the Swamp: How Trump's Minions and Misfits Poisoned Washington
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SGMVL9S/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_yEcrEbH51D2RW

It's made by The Daily Beast guys, Swin and Lachlan. Rather than writing a normal book, for a normal president with a normal brain, they wrote it in the fashion of Wiseguys, talking about all of the internal bullshit that happens. poo poo like Trump being obsessed with asking Priebus about badgers and what badgers eat, in the middle of meetings.

All of the other Trump books aren't right because their frame is off. Everything is internally hosed, so you write the book from the starting point of everything being internally hosed. Or as Swin says, "The president is a racist TV game show host".

I'd argue that "NY Billionaire / former Republican Bloomberg buys Democratic nomination through blanket ads and no debates with the rest of the field" is a bigger problem though.

In conversations with advisers, Mr. Trump has also raised the prospect of commuting the sentence of Roger J.
