00:55:48 Will it be Manafort? Page? Flynn? Don Jr? Someone else? Anybody doing odds?
02:02:10 Can’t wait for the next batch of Trump tweets. This should be fun.
02:07:56 What are the odds of a Saturday night massacre type series of firings aimed at Mueller? Or preemptive pardons? So many fun possibilities!
02:39:31 Seeing people starting to push “If it is Manafort, that is no big deal” narrative. Not buying it.
02:47:29 Line goes: Manafort wrong doing was long before he was on Trump campaign, and he was only with campaign a short tim… https://t.co/bfJcTjKJ3h
06:42:06 Reading – Astronomers Race to Study a Mystery Object From Outside Our Solar System (Nicholas St. Fleur) https://t.co/RysFKM9Lzl
19:49:08 Retweeted @davidaxelrod14:39:10 Pretty clear now that the hail of misdirection plays about uranium deal & dossier was motivated by the growing sound of Mueller’s hoofbeats.
22:19:58 Retweeted @goldengateblond20:30:01 I think about Howard Dean sometimes and how he must be all “are you kidding with this shit, all I did was scream.”
22:38:09 Reading – Dana Boente, Senior Federal Prosecutor and Obama Holdover, Submits Resignation (Pete Williams) https://t.co/zaSszNnBpp
22:45:21 Retweeted @boring_as_heck00:53:35 Tip for Paul Manafort: on your first day in prison, find the biggest dumbass in there and run his campaign.
23:00:12 Retweeted @KateHarding20:31:52 The horror of these times is that I’m not even going to be surprised if, after all this build-up, they indict Hillary on Monday
On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about sexual harassment again, Senator Flake and Senator Corker’s rebellious statements, the possible scandal with the selection of Whitefish to restore electricity to Puerto Rico, and the massive churn of non-stories that seemed like they were a prelude to something big dropping… which did indeed happen… the indictment news… but only after we recorded the show. So we’ll talk about that next week…

00:53:00 Retweeted @NumbersMuncher2017-10-25 23:41:12 Fox News Poll: Democrats take a *fifteen point* lead on the generic ballot, hitting 50% for the first time in Fox News poll since pre-2010.
15:09:26 Retweeted @SkinnerPm2017-10-22 23:36:47 I’ll say this once loudly for those in the cheap seats: Russian interference is serious but wouldn’t work if we weren’t already so so stupid
18:46:51 Retweeted @owillis13:51:12 flake was asked immediately after the speech if he would work on anything to constrain trump’s power. he said no. end of story imo.
18:48:57 Retweeted @byrdinator18:46:20 “It was a very positive meeting,” Republican Sen. Kennedy says after Trump GOP lunch. “Nobody called anyone an ignorant slut.”
19:15:10 Retweeted @costareports19:12:31 Most noteworthy congressional speech of Trump era happening right now on the Senate floor. Flake is tearing apart GOP’s handling of Trump.
19:23:26 At work. Can’t watch Flake at the moment. Frustrating. Have to watch highlights later. :-/
21:59:10 Retweeted @AshaRangappa_21:55:13 Tired of people “yes but”–ing every GOP member who speaks out. They are (finally) standing for something bigger than party. Stand with them.
22:56:48 New specifics, but hasn’t it been known all along that R’s originally started this research, then D’s took over? https://t.co/78S8l9Je4X
16:42:18 Retweeted @matthewjdowd16:03:27 Those folks in GOP resistance to Trump need to realize their party is gone: best thing for them would be to form new party or join Dems.
21:00:33 Retweeted @Eddie_At_Skaro20:59:56 Ok. Here’s some stuff. TEN episodes, an hour long, next Autumn. Stand by companion news. Three newbies. Two guys and a girl. One older.
