Self delusion reigns supreme. One might think that faced with collapsing popularity, a fundamentally weakened base, and a political strategy teetering on collapse, members of the Republican debacle might think twice before speaking of relevance or kookiness. Sigh….Report

Now, this would be the same David Frum who hawks himself and his irrelevant books (yes, another unsuccessful author by another of our leader wanna-bes) on Bill Maher’s show and the Daily Show. Somehow David has a high tolerance level for the endless vulgarity and ridicule these hosts viciously and personally unleash against prominent conservatives and Republicans. So, too, do liberals and Democrats. With Maher’s and Stewart’s “f” bombs falling all around him, David enjoys the attention he so craves but does not get from conservatives. And this character flaw is only part of the reason why David is so contemptible. He is a self-serving hypocrite who seeks not the advancement of conservatism but himself.
Oy vey. Truly – the log in Levin’s eye must be mammoth. I won’t say a peep in defense of Maher – who really is a ludicrous figure – but I like Jon Stewart, and this notion that he is in any way like the conservative punditry that dominates right-wing airwaves is just silly.Report

I notice that the Great One didn’t defend his indecent comments but resorted to insults and pointing out that his critics don’t share his immense popularity.Report

Way to elevate the conversation, Will! Did it escape your notice that you sign on to criticism of Levin as nasty and rude with a post in which you refer to Levin as an “asshole” and for which you created the new category of “douchebaggery”?Report

Deuce –
I can’t think of any other way to describe someone who says this on a nationally televised broadcast:

I can see that you do not like the delivery of Mark Levin, but I have not heard anything that is disputing what he says politically. I guess, like in grade school, if you don’t have anything intelligent to say just find a way to denounce him socially.Report

From NBC:

LONDON — Boris Johnson looked set Thursday to stay on as prime minister and win a huge majority in the British Parliament, according to an exit poll published as voting closed in what has been called the most important election in a generation.
A Conservative victory would mean that the United Kingdom is all but certain to finally leave the European Union on Jan. 31, more than three and a half years after the Brexit referendum in 2016. A divided and deadlocked Parliament had previously blocked Johnson’s withdrawal deal multiple times, prompting this election.

DOJ IG Michael Horowitz’s Report on 2016 FBI Released

DOJ IG Michael Horowitz’s Report on 2016 FBI Released

(10)

[caption id="attachment_323385" align="aligncenter" width="748"] IG Michael Horowitz testifies before congress on Clinton email investigation[/caption]

Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s review of the FBI’s handling of its investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016 is out, and folks are pouring over the 476 pages.

Politico:

A much-anticipated review of how the FBI came to investigate the Trump campaign's possible links to Russia has validated the agency’s decision to open its probe.
The report, compiled by the Justice Department’s inspector general, stresses that political bias did not influence the bureau’s actions, as President Donald Trump and his allies have frequently alleged.
But the document is also littered with criticisms of FBI officials and how they vetted some information, such as a dossier of salacious allegations compiled by an ex-British spy.
Key takeaways from the report
The FBI did not use the Steele dossier to open Russia probe
Lynch, Comey sat for IG interviews
No evidence political bias was a factor

You can watch the hearings live here, and discuss/debate with the Ordinary Times Commentareum throughout:

The House Judiciary Committee is hearing presentations from congressional investigators about the impeachment inquiry into President Trump's dealings with Ukraine, as Democrats prepare to draft articles of impeachment.
Monday's hearing includes testimony from Democratic and Republican attorneys from the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees. The House Intelligence Committee submitted its report last week on its investigation into Mr. Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to open investigations into the 2016 election and a company linked to the Bidens.
Those events are at the center of the Democratic case against the president, which the attorneys are laying out on Monday. Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi directed the committee chairs to pursue articles of impeachment, with a vote expected before the Christmas holiday.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said on Sunday that the committee will "presumably" introduce articles of impeachment this week.

From CNN:

The UPS hijacking ended in a hail of bullets in rush-hour traffic. Police now face questions about their response

In the end, four people were shot dead at the intersection in Miramar, authorities said, including two robbery suspects, a bystander, and hostage UPS driver Frank Ordonez -- a man who relatives say had been substituting for a colleague who had called out from work that day.
The slain robbers and hijackers were Lamar Alexander, 41, and Ronnie Jerome Hill, 41, both of Miami-Dade County, the FBI said. Authorities haven't released the name of the bystander who was killed.
Numerous questions about the chase and its finale remain, including who shot Ordonez and the bystander.
