“What it reveals about him is he has to win no matter what,” says Rick Reilly, author of “Commander in Cheat,” which outlines ways Donald Trump allegedly cheats in golf.
“He kicks the ball out of the rough so many times, the caddies call him Pele."
Be on the lookout for common and predictable misrepresentations of originalism, which are sure to arise this week in the coverage of Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings, writes

Big differences between Clinton impeachment and this one. Clinton at this point was publicly contrite and partisans supporting him mostly argued that what he did was wrong, just not impeachable. This president is on the attack and his partisans deny facts and any wrongdoing.
Cute. Carl's upset people are quoting his .18 figure. He's not saying it's wrong but he never intended it to undermine Warren. Also says mere suggestion of 1/64--1/1024 range wrong but won't say what he thinks correct range is. Because however you calculate laughably small?

The dismissal of Lt. Col. Vindman is part of a plan to trumpify one of the most powerful institutions in government. Job cuts to the National Security Council mean “fewer potential witnesses and fewer questions about Mr. Trump’s priorities”

Throughout our history, America has often made the greatest progress, coming out of some of our darkest moments. I believe we can, and must, do that again, and we are.
In the aftermath of the Russia hoax, reporters carefully avert their eyes from the fact that the leaks they received were manufactured deliberately to put lies into the news, writes

Trump (like all presidents) had an unreviewable prerogative to recall an ambassador. He is the one who made the whole business suspect by his own behavior
The FBI knew Michael Flynn wasn’t colluding with Russia, so it plotted to ‘get him to lie.’ New documents reveal that, by the end, the Bureau just wanted a scalp, writes

How specifically is

Miami will be underwater if world leaders don’t take action on climate change. This is an existential crisis and it’s outrageous that it won't even be on the agenda of next year’s G-7 summit. We need to make big, structural change now to fight this crisis before it's too late.
To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free! Stop the killing of your great Iranian people!

about the Nunes Memo: When you are the president you support your Justice Department and you allow them to do their jobs. See my whole interview discussing the Administration playing political Whac-a-Mole w/ the news cycle here:
Our system fails when unelected ambassadors are replaced by the elected leadership of our country? This is a parody of bureaucratic arrogance. She defines US interests and appropriate policy as Yovanoviitch in charge.
