Everything wrong with Fox News in one video pic.twitter.com/MhnApiQ3pG

wow put that on playback on every Fox news channel twitter.

A couple of Democratic congressmen are offering McCabe a job so he can get his full pension. Apparently he only has to work a day.

That's what imo is the real problem with a guy like Trump: He makes everything personal and actively seeks to hurt people as much as he can. Not just fire a guy, but fire him a day short of his pension and personally attack him.

And he doesn't seem to grasp at all that people in the public agencies are not his employees but civil servants. There's a difference and he doesn't get it.

So this is what set off Trump's latest tweet storm:

Mueller gives Trump's legal team questions for potential interview: report | TheHill

Just to clarify, make someone else fire a guy. He's too much of a pussy to do it himself.

dola

I'm sure this is just an odd coincidence.

While I agree with the complete double standard on the Fox clips, and think Trump is a disaster in general, note that Obama said he would talk/meet, Trump said he is meeting, so there is something to crow about.

It may well be that Kim agreed to meet with Trump as he thinks he is far more likely to be able to get what he wants through Trump than with Obama, but until the meet actually happens and Trump announces that the US has become the junior partner in the new Kormerica, Trump definitely has a ‘win’ to claim.

Until it happens it can't be a win, not if you say it can't be a loss either.

Rambling thoughts this morning.

Hillary is starting (continuing?) to sound like a sore loser now. She should just fade away gracefully or play behind the scenes as the grand dame.

I think the odds of Mueller being fired has increased. Looking forward to the Mueller vs Trump escalation. I'm still thinking no collusion between Trump and Russians but can easily believe collusion with Trump's team and Russians.

No specific details on what/how McCabe mislead but he was probably wrong. I like a response from a talking head this morning (paraphrased) ... "the firing may have merit but its not without taint".

If I was Rex, I would be glad the attention wasn't on me all week.

Trump seems to be getting really worried about the Mueller investigation.

Agreed. She's doing more harm than good. Needs to bow out gracefully; her time is done.


Mueller can only be fired by Rosenstein since Sessions recused himself. Rosenstein would have to be fired first by Sessions and they'd have to replace him with someone that had to be approved by the Senate. Senate wants the investigation to continue.

Whether Trump himself colluded isn't really the issue anymore. The evidence is piling up that he's obstructing justice. Honestly, for his own sake, he should throw everybody that he thinks colluded under the bus and move on. Continuing to tweet like he is won't help him.


It's typical Trump.


Yep

I'm thinking not about collusion. I figure its more about Mueller getting into his and family's business. There are likely some embarrassing things there.

I agree, but I don't think collusion is what Mueller is going to hiit him with.

On a side note, keep in mind that Trump can also fire Mueller by firing Sessions and replacing him with someone that doesn't need to recuse himself.

I think he'll definitely go down for tax evasion without a doubt - collusion I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, but proving it will be far harder than catching him for dodgy business practices ..

Shocking.

House Intel Republican says panel did not investigate collusion | TheHill

Just digging his hole deeper

I expect the report on collusion will be blistering, but much, maybe all of it won't be illegal, so Mueller will put them in jail through perjury and financial crimes. That way he doesn't have to hope the GOP congress will take action for what are political crimes.

Fixed.

No love for the re-election of President Putin? 73.9% is impressive.

Numerous. Incredibly numerous.

Not really, not with the state of the russian “democracy“. Even without going into this (plenty of hidden camera vids out there showing officials stuffing ballot boxes with bogus votes and such, not to mention more systematic fraud), this is essentially like a US vote would go if you had just one major party with 90% of the media beholden to it and then a bunch of independent-like competitors in terms of ressources both financially and logistically. The communist party the biggest of those but that message isn't exactly inspiring the younger generation to vote. Most of the others a big portion of voters dont even have on their radar.

I mean, victory was such a foregone conclusion that the main empasise towards the end was purely getting the voter participation up (which was down a decent amount even by the official numbers).

I don't think US democracy works everywhere. FWIW, the % may be less but I think Putin would have won in a "fair" election anyway.

To be perfectly honest, not sure it works anywhere, US included. I won't claim a dictatorship is a better solution, but two party opposition politics is hardly a political utopia.

And the only possible threat(Navalny) arrested and deemed ineligible for the election.

This will come as no surprise but Trump made senior staff sign NDA's to try to prevent them from leaking:

Yeah, that doesn't seem enforceable.

That I would have expected would be standard for any WH job surely? (in terms of revealing secrets about decisions etc.).

Those kinds of things would be covered by your security clearance.

That's what I would have thought. TBH, I think a NDA is appropriate. I would assume that does not cover any criminal activities.

Seems like a big assumption to me.

As far as I know Trump is the first President to require them. Freedom of Speech, protecting potential whistleblowers, etc is what I was thinking of here.

If you can't inspire loyalty, force it.

Details. I am sure if you asked Putin, he would tell you that all those things had no impact whatsoever on the election results.

Not sure where to put this but wanted to record it for posterity sake.

If I was him, I would have said "sorry, bad joke" but the apology implies he really believed it. Weird.
