Hillary Clinton has started a new PAC to “advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come”.
Yeah, except the two are mutually exclusive. and with liberals the winner is always the former at the expense of the latter.
It’s often a good business practice to replace someone when you have a replacement. Trump seems to me to have been following this with many of this appointments and “firings.” They aren’t really so much firings as delayed from the traditional clean sweep of a new administration. He left them in place until a replacement was lined up, with much of the focus on getting the appointments that were attracting opposition confirmed. At least, that’s how I’ve seen it.
Comey, though, is outside of that. Keeping him on for any period of time was not a good idea. I think The Donald knows that.
Now being used to collect intel: robots disguised as dolphins.
So… how DO you say “so long and thanks for all the fish” in binary?

Weirdly, the aspect of this I enjoyed most was when his hand hit the trampoline, it went down, but all the mousetraps stayed exactly where they were due to inertia.
THEN they all start going off in midair.
Anyway, it’s pretty much just aimless chatter after the 4:50 mark, so feel free to check out as soon as you get bored.

Now appearing in her congressional district: “Impeach Maxine Waters” street art.
Sadly, most of her constituents read it and think “that’s my favorite kind of pie”.
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
92% of CNN’s airtime is spent talking about Trump. The other 8%…
North Korea’s latest missile test landed just 60 miles south of Vladivostok.
60 more miles and a nuke, and Kim will be able to see Russia from his house.
Better Call Saul is in many ways different than Breaking Bad, but I enjoy it just as much. An absolutely superb show.
And why does the ending of each episode always catch me off guard? It’s like most shows would have one scene more.
One of my favorite things in Better Call Saul are the minimal dialog mysteries of “What is Mike up to?”
Seems like there has to be a way to fire a guy everyone wants fired without it being controversial.
It’s hard to tell if he’s winning at 3D chess or losing at 2D tic-tac-toe.
Kinda seems like Trump missed his calling of writing explainer pieces for Vox.
“Mr. President, what are you doing?”
“It’s a brand new thing I invented I’m calling ‘huffing paint.'”
Trump has to be our absolute worst president until the next one.
I’m still kinda unclear on how upset to get about the terrible president firing the terrible FBI director for terrible reasons.
Instead of “priming the pump,” Trump should’ve claimed he invented the phrase “laughing up their sleeves.” More would believe him.
My prediction for 2020 is Trump will go into the election with an approval in the mid 20s and will win in a landslide.
It’s happening!

Opening sentence subject to change.
When Americans are used to showing photo IDs for a hundred minor things, it’s a tough sell to say you shouldn’t have to do that for voting.
I was going to do a tweet like “Trump has been indicted… in crazyland ” but it’s hard to imagine crazyland without president Trump.
Let’s save impeachment for if Trump ever gets boring. Right now, we already have a pretty full news cycle.
The sealed indictment is a Trump trap. If you open it, it says, “Whoever is reading this is now indicted.”
It is becoming a bit of epidemic with all the homeless Millennials trying to kick an avocado toast habit.
Well, Trump means well.[citation needed]
With these type stories it’s always a 50/50 chance that either
A) Trump is that horrible
B) It’s a nothingburger blown up by Trump haters
The Russian story has been completely debunked. There’s no such thing as a “President Trump.” It makes no sense. How would that even happen?
Maybe there should be a Dwane Johnsons/Chris Pratt ticket. Don’t talk issues; just win on sheer likability.
That Zelda may have been one of the best games ever made, but the new Mario Kart really shows off the Switch’s strengths.
It really is a magic trick to go between playing it multiplayer on 1080p on a big screen to popping it out and playing it in handheld mode.
And that you can set it down anywhere and slide off the two side controller for multiplayer Mario Kart is pretty awesome.
To me, the convenience of the Switch is worth the graphics trade off (and it’s not like the games aren’t beautiful).
I’m hoping 3rd party support picks up. I want a Call of Duty I can play while lying comfortably in bed.
Overall, the Trump presidency is going about as well as could be reasonably expected.
He needs to hold out at least two months longer if I’m going to win the “How Long Will a Trump Presidency Last” pool.
With this whole Comey memo thing, someone – either Trump or the media – is going to lose what tiny bit of credibility they had left.
Trump lucked out; he accidentally gave all of Comey’s memos to visiting Russians.
Know what’s a fun fantasy right now? President Romney. Bland, boring Romney.
Sure, partisan Dems would still find a reason to call him worse than Hitler, but the rest of us would just be chillin’.
Alas, we’ve decided to live in interesting times. Oh the stories we’ll have to tell our grandkids!
Remember when History Channel used to have shows about history instead of Bigfoot and aliens? Remember when news shows had actual news? Yeah, it’s been a while for both.
Ever have one of those days where everything gets away from you? Yeah, that’s today.
The other day I mentioned my iPad was messed up. Well, this evening, I drove to the nearest Apple Store to replace it. The nearest Apple Store is in Jacksonville. On the south side of Jacksonville.
Driving back, I stopped at Sonny’s Barbeque in Brunswick, and ate a yummy barbeque sammich. And I let the time get away from me. After I got back on the road, I noticed it was after 9:00.
My iPad isn’t set up yet. So I need to pull over and use my iPhone to write tonight’s Open Thread post.
So, I’ve done my part. Now you do yours. Pick a topic and have at it. It’s Tuesday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
