I'm not on Twitter and many of the swing voters in swing states aren't either.

How should Dems flood Facebook for swing voters in swing states? It would be really helpful if the Turks could bomb some photogenic puppies or kittens.

"The canine loyalty of Senate Republicans will keep Trump in office."

A nice turn of phrase from George Will.

Yeah, but as Adder notes, execs aren’t geniuses. If you’re a GC, a stooge with a big degree is a better spacegoat than one with experience. Branding is less and less important as value becomes more significant (and info on the Internet has educated savvy consumers as to how easy it is to practice law), but it’s still real. The patsy with brand credentials is always the safest route for job protection.

People are so fucking dumb they assume one is smart based on one’s college. Someone here just cited a stat that, among selective schools, 43% of students are legacies or athletes.

Trump has exposed a horrifying fact. Most people are a lot stupider than you think. You can get away with way more than you know. Dumb it down, then dumb it down a few more times. Then when you think they must be onto you, dumb it down once more.

I guess this is aimed at me as no one else here possibly went to THE U. I'll just say this, if you want to criticize those of us at the top, I'd suggest double checking for typos next time.

Translation: I've never sued a cab company.

Most Americans think Trump just put a tariff on some form of foreign cheese.

Ladies and gentlemen, all the President's lawyers:

On Wednesday morning, the day after news leaked that Gowdy was set to serve as outside counsel to the president, Victoria Toensing, a veteran Washington lawyer who has been working with Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, expressed concern and disbelief that the onetime advocate for congressional oversight would be coming onboard.

“Trey Gowdy doesn’t know s***,” she said.

Toensing argued that Gowdy mishandled the select committee that investigated Democrat Hillary Clinton’s handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. She also took issue with comments Gowdy made last year in which he urged Trump to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into the Trump campaign’s role in Russian attempts to intervene in the 2016 presidential race.

“He screwed up the Benghazi hearings, and he came out with the advice to Trump, ‘Well, if you’ve done nothing wrong, just talk to Bob Mueller.’” ...

“He’s not on the team. Trey Gowdy is not on the team. Who told you Trey Gowdy? Not to my knowledge, not to Rudy’s knowledge, not Joe’s knowledge,” said Toensing, who had not heard of the move at the time of her interview with Yahoo News on Wednesday morning. “I have to check that with Rudy because that would be a joke, because we all don’t think much of him,” she said of Gowdy, adding, “Are you kidding? ... Trey is a joke among us.”

However, by Wednesday evening, Sekulow officially announced Gowdy’s appointment.

“I am pleased to announce that former Congressman Trey Gowdy is joining our team as counsel to the president,” Sekulow said. “I have known Trey for years and worked with him when he served in Congress. His legal skills and his advocacy will serve the president well. Trey’s command of the law is well known and his service on Capitol Hill will be a great asset as a member of our team.”

Neither Gowdy nor Sekulow responded to a request for comment about Toensing’s misgivings.
