I certainly hope not! It has been my bread-and-butter for 2 years.

Sound and fury accomplishing nothing. The assumption in this ridiculous memo is that the FBI investigated Carter Page solely because of the Steel dossier. (1) There was much more involved in their decision, and (2) Who the fuck cares? The only reason this exists is because republicans are...

Where have you been for the past year?

Just a reminder for all you boys and girls out there. Something to keep in mind the next couple weeks.
