Martial Artist, wannabe media mogul. Always down for a cheeky snifter.

Ok, adios Twitter. I'd like to say it has been fun, but it really hasn't. Much love to everyone still here, hope you can join me on the other side some day!

He's got to be, quite literally, the most successful con artist of all time, right? Who comes close?

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Trump spent years insinuating then insisting, then even trying to prove that the biographical foundation of Obama’s political career was a hoax. In the end, it was Trump’s own biography that was painfully phony.

This is a terrifying read. If you doubt America has a White Nationslist problem, read this:

[Ben Smith @semaforben]

The extent to which the alt-right infiltrated the Washington conservative establishment in the first half of this decade is astounding https://t.co/BIX6hO59XT

@GavinNewsom This is how Trump loses in 2020. This needs to be retweeted to the ends of the universe.

[Ben Cohen @BenCohenTDB]

An idiot chose another idiot. Pretty simple really.

"How did a candidate with few qualifications and a damaging paper trail get nominated for an important position in the Trump administration?" @GrahamDavidA on the baffling choice of Stephen Moore for the Fed: https://t.co/JFC15VBRzT

@toadmeister @TelegraphNews Yes, look what happened to Sweden and Norway...

No choice but to subpoena Barr, hold in contempt, enforce and along the way impeach. His testimony today was so awful one is not surprised but nevertheless appalled

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

AG Barr is a disgrace, and his alarming efforts to suppress the Mueller report show that he's not a credible head of federal law enforcement. He should resign—and based on the actual facts in the Mueller report, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against the President.

[Ben Cohen @BenCohenTDB]

You were saying @ggreenwald @mtaibbi?

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

NBC News has obtained Mueller's full letter to William Barr.

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

Here’s a doozy. Seems Lindsey had much in common with those Trump critics he now attacks.

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

Fully attentive watchers of the Barr hearing can take breaks for real life chores whenever a Republican Senator starts to speak.

[Ben Cohen @BenCohenTDB]

According to Barr, the president did try to shut down the investigation, but he fully cooperated with it at the same time. Right... #BarrHearing #BarrLied

[Ben Cohen @BenCohenTDB]

You’ve got to give it to @ggreenwald. He really knows how to make himself look fucking ridiculous.

[Ben Cohen @BenCohenTDB]

This is why I think @SenWarren would be a great President.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

A thought about Biden and Sanders: Different as they are, they both (in my view) have fantasies about the political realities that would face a Dem president, even if the party regains the Senate 1/

"The contrast could not have been starker. One President encourages his followers to grapple with views they might not agree with, while the other attacks a dead man and accuses liberals of engaging in infanticide."

I just had an stunning convo with my pharmacist, who informed me that one of my meds is no longer covered by my insurance and will cost nearly $8k. We're trying to figure this out, but how on earth is anyone supposed to pay that for 30 pills? $96k a year?
Fix this, Congress!

[Jen 'now @jenrubin9' Rubin @JRubinBlogger]

Applause for @RepJerryNadler for having counsel question Barr, who is too chicken to show. Yes, subpoena him. Hold him in contempt. And if need be impeach him. The AG is lawless

[Ben Cohen @BenCohenTDB]

@RubinReport Hey Dave, just a question: can you point to a single time when you’ve defended @HillaryClinton from a similar smear, or Obama? You spend a great deal of time focusing on the left’s hypocrisy, but very little on the right’s.
