I think he composes himself well, and doesn't talk too much. Seems more calculated and thoughtful

Overall, the RRH poll finds Jon Ossoff in the lead with 39% of the vote, and a demolition derby of Republicans competing for second place in an assumed runoff: Karen Handel has 15%, Bob Gray 12%, Dan Moody 11%, and Judson Hill 10%. They also surveyed another Democrat, Ron Slotin, who earned 4% overall in the poll, and David Abroms, a Republican being backed by Evan McMullin, who earned 3%. Bruce Levell (R) was also surveyed but earned 0%. Combining the share all Democratic candidates and Republicans candidates earned, the Republicans lead slightly with 51% to 43%.
If you are looking for a referendum on President Donald Trump, here’s your district: he sports a 46% approve/ 46% disapprove on his performance as President. Among those who disapprove, Ossoff crushes the rest of the field with 86% of the vote. Among those who approve, it’s all bunched up: Handel earns 24% of these voters, Gray 23%, Hill 21%, and Moody 19%.

I wasn't a fan of the Tillerson pick, but he's grown on me. Some missteps (not visiting the Japanese embassy to meet with staff on a trip to Tokyo, some questionable word choices in a speech he made in China, only bringing one reporter [from the ****ing Independent Journal Review - I know both guys who founded that site and it just ... boggles the mind] on that Asia trip) but all in all not too bad for a guy getting his diplomatic feet wet.

Turns out it wasn't Andrea Mitchell, it was a reporter from the Post.

It's a little disconcerting to have that slot, in this WH, filled by a guy who has to do so much learning on the job. That said, it could've been someone worse, and I'm content to give it some time. The early returns haven't been sterling, but the guy is working with essentially no senior staff at all . . . which is another puzzling thing. We could be knee-deep in any number of crises any time, and they haven't hired the people who actually do the heavy lifting.

Two interesting items in this Guardian article.
1."GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.
Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said."
Names Germany, Poland, Estonia, Australia, France, Netherlands.
...
2. 'One source suggested the official investigation was making progress. “They now have specific concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion,” the source said. “This is between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material.”'
Item one interesting because the usual stable of names (Flynn, Manafort, Page) weren't w/ Trump in late 2015. Who was? Stone? Michael Cohen, Trump's attorney, he of the odd backchanneled Ukrainian peace proposal?

Press secretary Spicer addressed Afghanistan at the top of the briefing today, saying the US dropped the "Mother of All Bombs" to target tunnels and caves that ISIS uses to "move around freely."
"The United States takes the fight against ISIS very seriously and in order to defeat the group we must deny them operational space, which we did," Spicer said.
He added that the US did its best to avoid civilian casualties, but he did not elaborate on the damage
Not a good luck for this administration coming off the Syrian justification. I wish we would at least try harder when we pretend to care about civilian casualties.

I'm sorry - I must have missed the substance in that penis analogy.

Sounds like you really don't care either.
I'm a realist about it. Civilian causalities of war is a reality of every war in history. Some were intentional and some were not. These animals use our rules of war against us.
Never, ever.
