Mediate: MSNBC’s Chuck Todd issued a warning to the press on Thursday evening regarding the Russia investigation: Don’t miss work tomorrow.Todd’s MTP Daily panel was discussing Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s probe, and speculating as to when the investigation will wrap up. “Here’s what I’ve learned about Bob Mueller,” Todd said. “Not a single person that has known him, been with him, worked with him, wouldn’t … Read More
Dark Times Ahead?
I have predicted — not here, but on Twitter (and NOW here) — that Trump will pardon Manafort before the 2018 elections. Some are saying he might even fire Sessions and/or Mueller. I don’t know if I believe all THAT. But the conventional wisdom that it would be stupid and self-destructive if he did that, especially before the elections, seems … Read More
The Trump Administration’s Attack On Foreigners Now Extends To Actual Americans
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis last year issued a directive for additional background checks for non-citizen troops and extended the active duty time required before they were eligible to apply for naturalization. Applications dropped 65 percent. Earlier this summer, news broke that the sitting president had tasked U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director L. Francis Cissna with tracking down and “denaturalizing” American citizens … Read More
Trump: Lester Holt “Fudged” The Russia Tape
Trump’s tweets are out of control. I mean, SOME days, he would tweet more than a couple tweets, but it was unusual for him to do more than 4 or 5. But for the past several days, it has been, like, eight, nine, or more. It’s not even 10:00am and Trump has tweeted TEN times. The first three tweets were … Read More
Breaking: McGahn Out
Another Trump insider leaving. It’s made all the more interesting (to me) by this quote recently in Vanity Fair: Two sources told me that Trump continues to raise the possibility of a pardon for Manafort, his former campaign chairman. Trump has been clashing with White House counsel Don McGahn, who, sources said, is strongly against granting Manafort a pardon. (A lawyer for … Read More
Trump Doesn’t Want Us To Rely On Anonymous Sources Even Though He Does
Here’s the Daily Caller story snapshot… In truth, this is a very old story, recycled. “But her emails….” as they say. By the way, the FBI has responded to Trump’s tweet…. saying WRONG.
Trump Accuses Google Of Rigging Searches
The moron in the Oval Office watched “Lou Dobbs” last night and got a bee in his bonnet about the Google search results for “Trump News.” Trump is complaining that the voices of conservative liars should be getting equal time with actual news. For me, the best response to Trump is this…. This is why Google should be returning the … Read More

The Passing Of John McCain
Word has come down that John McCain, a lion of the Senate, has passed following his very long struggle with brain cancer. It was announced Friday that he was ending his brain cancer treatment, a sign that nothing more could be done. And Saturday late evening Eastern Time, he passed. My feelings about John McCain are much like everyone else’s. … Read More
Anatomy Of A Lie
There are literally thousands of Trump lies. No lie. Some are big whoppers. Some are merely misleading. Some are of huge consequence. Some are of almost no consequence, although the sheer number of lies is of huge consequence. Here’s a lie of huge consequence — whether Donald Trump knew about hush-money payments to silence women The first denial came four … Read More

Trump Talking Like A Mob Boss
In his new softball interview with Ainsley Earhardt, Trump says that it “almost” ought to be illegal for people to receive deals to testify: This whole thing about flipping, they call it. I know all about flipping, for 30, 40 years I have been watching flippers. Everything is wonderful and then they get 10 years in jail and they flip … Read More
