Am I the Only One Who Was Once a Teenager?

When Gina Haspel “answered questions it reminded me of when I was  teenager, just learning to lie to my parents:  

1.  “Did you go to the party at Annie Thomas’s pajama party , like you said.?” 

1*. Did you ever meet alone with president trump?

Answers:   “YES!!  I went to Annie’s party”   [[ for ten minutes....The rest of the time I was at the big block party because there were no parents around.]]

Stormy Weather — Live Blog

I was hoping DDay would do this, but I’ll step up to the plate.  I will pretend to care about the substantive issues:

1.  Will she live up to expectations (I’m saying meh)

2.  Will the dvd be shown?  Probably not. 

3. Will DJT end up suing her for millions?

4. Will Melania divorce him after this?  No.  (I think he is holding Barron hostage)

5.  Will it matter to his base?  Ha!

Back From The Abyss? Not So Fast

Tuesday night was a symptom.  The disease of rot is much worse.  From a TPM commenter, this pretty much sums up the problem, but to carry on with the health metaphor, it doesn't provide a prognosis, or a treatment.  We are in big trouble:

The long term picture is what is most worrying: the damage is extensive. Very extensive. People are under the impression that this is an anomaly (and it is, to be sure) that will be corrected with an election. 

It won't.
