Just your average angry black man, with none of the street cred.

Julian Assange court appearance today- His lawyer mentioned a statement, that alleges former US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher visited Assange, saying he was there on behalf of the President, offering a pardon if JA would say Russia had nothing to do with DNC leaks. @SBSNews

Who else remembers when Kobe slayed the rap game?

[Ess @ScottyLiterati]

Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets straight outta high school at age 17.

Charlotte then traded him to LA.

"Greatness lies ahead for this man."

@realDonaldTrump Patrick Shanahan has exactly no military service or experience.

But he served as senior management/board member for Boeing, one of the largest defense contracting firms in the world.

This administration is nothing more than a colossal grift.

@NatashaBertrand Now we've got to spend the next three months listening to right-wing media slander Judge Sullivan.

@soledadobrien @nytimes For the first time since I was a teenager, I am not a NYT subscriber. This just got to be too much.

Jill Abramson was obviously far from perfect. But she still produced a better paper than Baquet.

@soledadobrien @Reuters Sometimes, I wonder whether the social media people don't actually understand the stories they're writing headlines for.

So they just go for the most simplistic factual headline they can extract from the text.

@goodbye56789 @JamieWa40628952 @McCreadyForNC I'm guessing rubles

@CharlesMBlow Also worth noting that the memos we rely on to support this "rule" include:
* One from Nixon's Office of Legal Counsel
* One from Bork, the solicitor general who was unethical enough to fire Cox
* One from exec branch lawyers in the midst of Clinton v Jones.

[Ess @ScottyLiterati]

@CharlesMBlow If we abide by this "rule" that you can't indict a sitting president, it means that cheating in elections is ok as long as you don't get caught until after inauguration day.

That's a dangerous precedent.

@EdKrassen They're not in trouble because no one's going to actually investigate this.

@CarolLeonnig You know what's wild:
There is nothing in this memo suggesting that Flynn lied to Mike Pence.

In 2004, CNN canceled "Crossfire" after Jon Stewart trolled them for dishonest partisan debate. In 2017, the entire network is "Crossfire."

@MarthaMcSally @kyrstensinema Thank you for resisting those in your party who pushed you to embrace anger and push conspiracy theories around this election.

Your graceful concession was what this country needed.
