    Every time a day goes by without a Shuckabee “press briefing,” I have imagined her cowering in her office, struggling with her last vestigial shreds of conscience, and saying: “I just can’t. Not today. Not again.”

    Naaaaaaaaaaah. Guess not.

    Too bad. Obviously, those of us in the reality-based community know this is chickenshit. And the deplorables love the calls for political violence, so all they see is the Trump administration acting like weak, mewling kittens. Nobody finds this satisfying except the Very Serious Republicans in DC.

  3. No doubt had the bombs exploded the White(s Only) House would be saying “They brought it on themselves. They deserved it (for criticizing Dear Leader).”

  4. She’s a true believer and an enabler of Trump’s proto-fascism. She’s not merely “a good German following orders”.

    Many accused of war crimes were acquitted on a similar defense (superior orders), creating immense dissatisfaction among the Allies. That has been thought to be one of the main causes for the specific removal of this defense in the August 8, 1945 London Charter of the International Military Tribunal. The removal has been attributed to the actions of Robert H. Jackson, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who was appointed Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.

  5. Buckle up folks, it’s going to be a rough couple weeks until we regain some control.
