What even is the point of DHS if they say and do nothing about a serial bomber?

The department chair is literally gone silent and at the border for a caravan that is 1000 miles away.

why should DHS be getting riled up about fake bombs? No one seemed to care about Ricin being mailed to Mattis, Chris Wray, Trump, and others a couple weeks ago, and those mailing actually were potentially lethal.

10/25/2018 2:38:05 PM

it's established that the pipe bombs were fake?

oh i see where you're coming from here lol

We can always count on eleusis to give TWW first exposure to far right hot takes

Didn’t they mail castor beans?

10/25/2018 4:01:49 PM

^yes

Well nice to know eleusis is still shoveling shit.

I hadn't heard about the ricin thing... doesn't seem like it was actually ricin though, just ground up seeds that contain trace amounts of ricin. There was practically zero chance in the best case scenario that this would have hurt anyone. You would have to snort the ground up castor seeds to have the chance of having any effect.

Also, this guy put his own return address on the letters...

It doesn't seem like he was acting on any broader directive of mandate, he was just a crazy person.

These pipe bombs, which maybe have just been decoys, seem intended to extend Trump's rhetoric on democrats and the media, and were made for the purpose of promoting fear.

Sessions out.

Hopefully he walks right out of his old office, middle fingers in the air, and proceeds directly to Robert Muellers office.

11/7/2018 2:54:38 PM

Why wait until right after the midterms?

11/7/2018 3:22:42 PM

i hope he walks in front of a bus

11/7/2018 4:04:41 PM

That’d atleast be a nice change of pace from “mysteriously falls from 5th story balcony.”

This Whitaker guy has no business being anywhere near the AG position.

As best I can tell the ONLY qualification he has is being a partisan back. Obviously Rosenstein (who himself I distrust) should take over until Pam Bondi is confirmed by the feckless Senate GOP.

11/8/2018 11:07:16 AM

Trump: I don't know Matt Whitaker.

Narrator: He does.

(Cut to Fox and Friends clip)

Trump: I can tell you Matt Whitaker's a great guy. I mean, I know Matt Whitaker.



Seems Whitaker may not be long for this administration.

Ivanka used personal email for official white house business.

It wasn't state secrets or anything but come on. She couldn't not have known this wasn't ok to do.

Oh right, they just don't care.

11/19/2018 9:01:57 PM

Per Bloomberg, the fraud acting AG lied to the FTC.

If he isn’t removed immediately from his position congress should revolt. But they won’t.

Zinke is done winning at Interior.

Don Blankenship would be a fun pick, but I'm not sure that's a load McConnell would be willing to swallow.

12/15/2018 1:01:35 PM

So long Mattis

12/20/2018 5:38:58 PM

How will this Syria thing play out?

Obviously a lot of people agree that endless war should end.

But can Trump get enough people to trust him to lead this effort? Seems nuts to announce this without telling military leaders, Congress, or our allies. Wasn't one of the GOP refrains was that Obama telegraphed war plans and gave the enemy time to adapt, how is this not 10x worse than that?

Also seems bizarre they're saying ISIS isn't a big deal, when fear of ISISand muslims was 75% of his campaign. And it doesn't seem like Trump is pushing for any cuts to military spending or reallocating this money to social programs.

12/21/2018 12:45:36 AM

Well, ISIS is in the caravan now. So clearly we are fighting them on the wrong front...

Quote :

"Ross told CNBC he is puzzled by reports of federal workers turning to food banks and other forms of relief, suggesting they should be able to obtain bridge loans to tide them over until the government reopens. "True, the people might have to pay a little bit of interest," said Ross. "But the idea that it's 'paycheck or zero' is not a really valid idea." Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denounced what she called a "let them eat cake" attitude from the commerce secretary, whose net worth has been estimated by Forbes magazine at nearly $700 million."
