So print deadlines be damned, basically.

Oh absolutely. Which is why I think Brian Williams is that show. (Meaning, where do you put a semi-aging news guy like that now?) I mean, with a 24-hour news cycle, 5 MINUTES is a long time to sit on a story. That being said, we still do have dailies, and there are a number of reporters and stories that go on that show due to late posting.

I remember a time when there wasn’t enough news to fill a 30 minute time slot once a day :(
I long for those days.

Rudy Giuliani’s own attorney is leaving just two weeks after being hired

With just two weeks on the job, an attorney for Rudy Giuliani is reportedly already parting ways with his client. Earlier this month, Giuliani tapped former Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale to head up his legal team. “He 100 percent did not do anything...

If Trump actually goes down I’m driving to NH and buying $1000 worth of explosives to have another independence day.

He won’t, but it’s fun to think about what good things might feel like.

I think it’s really awesome that there are so many great photos of Rudy to run with stories these days.

I know people think they voted to burn it all down, but really we know they only want us to burn the other side down, right?

RAND PAUL: If we're going to investigate Giuliani, then we should investigate Hunter Biden. @SRuhle: Does that mean we should investigate how Kushner's family got foreign money? Ivanka's Chinese trademarks? RP: If we want to go down the road of self-destruction, we can do that. https://t.co/4jqvRepoms

He might. I’m not predicting it, I wouldn’t bet money on it. But he might.

So, Lindsey, I have a followup question…

YOU FEEL HOPE, I CAN TELL.

KevinC · 2019-10-15T19:59:04.335Z

Hope is so hot right now. So hot.

I will say, if I knew that shitgibbon would be involved in an impeachment inquiry, it would have made his election marginally less upsetting.

BiggerBoat · 2019-10-15T20:35:07.095Z

Hope is the new despair.

vyshka · 2019-10-15T20:36:02.797Z

I see that Rudy must have the same person dyeing his hair that does Lou Dobb’s. It must be a Trumpist thing.

Gee, I wonder why that might be. Surely, being a lawyer, Rudy would follow the advice of a good counsel …

Live updates: Giuliani will defy congressional subpoena

As they return from recess, lawmakers have summoned another key State Department official to testify behind closed doors Tuesday about the Ukraine controversy.

Oh. Well, while we’re waiting for Congress to throw his ass in jail (which will take a while, alas) can the Bar Association please start the process of disbarment for Rudy?

From what I’ve read, he doesn’t even have an active bar license in DC

It's been 18 months after I first brought this up but Rudy Giuliani still doesn't have an active law license in DC. https://t.co/2MXkRb7Zsy

It’s not illegal if the president’s illegal lawyer does it.

He probably didn’t pay up.

The third alternative is for Congress to use its own “inherent contempt” power by sending the Sergeant at Arms to actually detain subpoena violators. But this hasn’t been done since 1935, and is widely viewed as an extreme option, said Taylor.

Extreme assholes call for extreme options.

Pyperkub · 2019-10-15T22:11:17.526Z

Illegal not-a-licensed lawyer.
