... loved it when he said, "poo-pooed the idea" - I hope Velshi gets Rachel's spot. He fits right in with her production team!

He's the universal fallback guy, over the holidays he subbed on pretty much every MSNBC show without hesitation. And he has the knowledge and experience to follow up on all the stories that she and her team had been working on. They couldn't have chosen better.

He sure didn't pack all those boxes by himself and we know now that they contain classified documents - and his staff knew that he was attempting to flush important papers - not to mention that this is also yet another way he has broken the law.

The guy can't do stairs, not even a ramp - and he doesn't read, not even the presidential daily brief - so does anyone think he packed his own boxes??

and he's done that all his life. His treatment of women along should have sent alarm bells across America in 2015. And, he filled his staff and cabinet with people just like him.

It's very unfortunate that right-wing media has similar disregards for our standards and laws, and to a lesser degree all main stream media.

They just do not seem to care and rarely call any Rethugs out for that behavior......

Oh, and happy Valentines week, Rhiannon! Thanks again for all you do in service to DU..... ......

If it was a movie, it would be too ridiculous to be believed. Who would vote for this offensive and unqualified individual who has no interest in the job except what's in it for him, especially monetarily??? I really, really don't get it...

And wishing you a happy, sane and sober Valentine's week to you, as well, my friend!
