#1  Things are quite the mess in these days of exposure.
Pelosi with her facial spasms when in public speaking. Hilly in Philadelphia with her political book tour and lamentations of lost in election. Extended coughing spasms again which were quite lengthy. Each is having their body rebel. The body is sending signals to stop talking. The body will up the anti if they press on until they stop talking. Talking is the irritation that triggers the coughing I am certain.

#2  Talking is the irritation that triggers the coughing I am certain.

I'm willing to bet the trigger is the physical exertion of getting to the place where the talking is about to take place, Dale. Prescription cough-suppressing medications can only do so much.

#3  From my sci-fi fantasy view of this world, their public speaking spasms are due to resident evil rising from their blackened depths trying to choke them on the spot. They need exorcism more than prescription meds.
Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 || 12/03/2017 9:23 Comments || Top||

#4  May be less coughing and more aspirated choking as aged lymphatic systems fail in their fluid scrubbing tasks and overloaded salivary glands purge under the pressure of agitated speaking and head bobbing.

Nunes blows up, threatens contempt after FBI stonewalls House on Russia investigator demoted for anti-Trump bias
[Washington Examiner] House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued an angry demand to the FBI and Department of Justice to explain why they kept the committee in the dark over the reason Special Counsel Robert Mueller kicked a key supervising FBI agent off the Trump-Russia investigation.
Hopefully "blows up" was used in a figurative sense.
Stories in both the Washington Post and New York Times on Saturday reported that Peter Strzok, who played a key role in the original FBI investigation into the Trump-Russia matter, and then a key role in Mueller's investigation, and who earlier had played an equally critical role in the FBI's Hillary Clinton email investigation, was reassigned out of the Mueller office because of anti-Trump texts he exchanged with a top FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an extramarital affair. Strzok was transferred to the FBI's human resources office ‐ an obvious demotion -- in July.

The Post reported that Strzok and Page exchanged text messages that "expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to favor Clinton."

Word of the messages and the affair were news to Nunes, even though the committee had issued a subpoena that covered information about Strzok's demotion more than three months ago. The committee's broadly worded subpoena for information related to the so-called Trump dossier went to the FBI and FOJ on Aug. 24. In follow-up conversations on the scope of the subpoena, committee staff told the FBI and DOJ that it included information on the circumstances of Strzok's reassignment.

#1  Jeff Sessions needs to do his f*&king job and clear the DOJ and FBI of Dem political hacks. Fire the lot
Posted by: Frank G || 12/03/2017 7:59 Comments || Top||

#2  #1 YES, as long as they remain they will behave as a festering boil on the butt of Trump's administration. Bush playing the nice guy worked well for him. It does appear the back stabbers have been culled from the herd in the White house. Mueller having the leaks now.
Posted by: Dale || 12/03/2017 8:19 Comments || Top||

#3  Do or do not, there is no "threaten".
Posted by: charger || 12/03/2017 13:46 Comments || Top||

#4  IMHO, A/G Sessions has been compromised so he is amounts to nothing as a placeholder. President Trump has an N front war against Dems, est pubs and deep state. This is a huge conflict and lesser men would have caved long ago.
Posted by: Alaska Paul || 12/03/2017 17:19 Comments || Top||

#5  It seems to me this is one where AG Sessions allowed the staff enough rope to hang themselves, since they would have stonewalled orders in the subject to admit to their guilt. Some problems are not amenable to straightforward solutions, but call for a modicum of guile on the part of the incoming executive to discover those responsible for given problems.

#6  Hope you are right, TW.

#1  Enough of the identity politics Obungle. We ended up with you because of this. Go for the best person regardless of identity.
Posted by: JohnQC || 12/03/2017 0:42 Comments || Top||

#2  Yeah, *bleep* the identity politics. We are a nation of individuals not some hive of clones.

Also, if the gals lack the, um, fortitude to stand up the likes of Weinstein, Conyers and the rest of those pervy slugs, maybe they are not the best people to be representing us. Just saying...

#3  After 8 years of Moochelle and Valerie Jarret running things while you played the basketball brackets you should know.

#4  Don't punish the rest of us for the 'problems' of 'progressive' males. You're the ones who pushed fungible morality.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 12/03/2017 7:48 Comments || Top||

#5  Yes, the sweet innocent babes working their way up the ranks anyway they can. I have been told repeatedly "don't you know women are cold bitches". That was a direct quote from women, 2017.

#7  I vote for less powerful politicians. Then I don't care who the left tries to elect.

#8  Because Moochelle would have beat the crap out of him if he ever pulled a stunt like that.

#10  We're weary of peachy posteriors,
The trunks, and the preachy anteriors,
The tales of the tortured,
Escaped from the orchard,
Our screechy, capricious superiors.

I.e., freestone or cling? Just channeling a little mgtow. Maybe the last line should be an attribution?
