What Junction?

• Susie Madrak, Crooks and Liars (who probably didn't write the headline):  "Joe And Mika: Trump Like A Child 'Pooping His Pants'"  with video and partial transcript.

  If Joe and Mika hadn't applauded every day for an entire year every single time Donald Trump defecated (and thrown clumps of poo every time Hillary Clinton did or said anything), we might not be having this laugh fest right now.

• Mmmmmmmm-hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
• Addicts in West Virginia (via Just an Earth-Bound Misfit, I).
• Fraudster sued for fraud.  

  The Intercept reports that Democracy Partners has filed a lawsuit against O’Keefe and his organization Project Veritas, which it alleges falsified documents to get access to the group’s members.
  
  The suit accuses Project Veritas member Allison Maass of concocting an elaborate cover story and using forged documents to get an internship with the group, with the goal of secretly recording members’ conversations and using them in political propaganda videos.

  Brad Reed, Raw Story.  "Veritas," my foot.  Children, Mission: Impossible was a TV show.  You know, fiction.  Although I suppose since lies are their stock in trade, they probably feel more comfortable presenting false faces to the world.  What empty shells they must be.  By the way, what happened to all those tapes allegedly made at CNN?
  
• ETA:  Opera seized up and I'd forgotten about these:  
• Video about the Voter Fraud Lies, presented by Frances Langum at Crooks and Liars.
• Cutting anti-discrimination enforcement (Zandar Versus The Stupid)

  This is something Attorney General Jeff Sessions has wanted all his career, a federal government neutered on civil rights, without any personnel to deal with more than a handful of issues, while states decide what civil rights enforcement means because of course the feds don't have the resources to actually enforce anything.
  
  It's the tried and true Republican formula: destroy the federal government's ability to do its job, then declare it a failure and zero out the budget for it. The damage from this will be generational, but of course that's the point.
