If Flynn stuff gets out of control, feel free to start a spinoff thread to get us through the weekend.

Also, just a reminder everyone: Flynn will testify and nothing will happen. GOP will not impeach and nobody will resign. Nothing matters.

It’ll be funny if Pence has to live in Dick Cheney’s “undisclosed location” to avoid a warrant at least.

The tax bill will take some time to show effects right? It’s not like Trump is going sign it and then the next day HR sends out an email blast explaining how your withholding changed.

Lol getting paralytics and suffocating to death, while fully aware (which is what will happen if/when they botch the valium/fentanyl dose), is tantamount to torture. I've seen it happen before where a guy was super tolerant to benzos and opioids and woke up while paralyzed and it sure looked like suffering.

All they have to do is drop the paralytic too.

So in 2011, Senator-elect Roy Moore appeared on a talk show for idiots, declaring that the 17th Amendment (shifting the election of senators from state legislatures to the people) and 14th Amendment (citizenship and equal rights for former slaves) should be repealed, and that repealing everything else after the original Bill of Rights would "eliminate many problems."

Comey doesn’t have to use a “contingency” so long as Mueller is running the investigation.
