I was on my mobile at the time and unable to link as I was multitasking with children around. If I see it again, I'll link.

Perhaps they can all be moved to a specially-designated Trump wing of a state penitentiary? I can't think of a witty equivalent of Trump Towers, but jail. Anyone else?

Asked by @EamonJavers if Trump will release 2016 taxes, Spicer says "no, you can't" because Trump's "routine audit" continues.

I asked @PressSec Sean Spicer if the president would authorize the IRS to confirm he is under audit, but Spicer would not commit to that.

While Trump promised to change Washington, @PressSec defends closing White House logs by saying it’s same as it was always done til Obama.

Generally there's a rule that I don't talk politics with dad
Today he managed to squeeze in that Trump is not a psychopath
Then again, he's quite similar to Trump. Gah.

Ryan's "Easter message" video has pissed off quite a few people.

Louise Mensch will be revealing Pence being complicit in it later.

She thought he'd be president but looks like there's new evidence and lots of it,

Watches space.

Replying to @jerseymomma @FBI
I thought there was no evidence on Pence. Well there is, there is a bloody ton of it and now I have to get back to the front cc @NSAGov

MadameDePomPom · 17/04/2017 20:41

I really hope Mensch is right this time. But she can get a bit overexcited so I'm going to proceed with caution.

Pence
“The people of North Korea, the military of North Korea, should not mistake the resolve of the United States of America to stand with our allies,”

Who is he talking to? Does he think the "people" of North Korea have anything to do with war threats? The mind boggles.

Meanwhile, Jared V Steve. Who will get fired?

To Pence: Read me again the list of my accomplishments.
Pence: Nominated Neil Gorsuch.

Pence: Oh, if these walls (oval office) could talk.
DT: Oh my God, can they?!

SCROTUS' hand goes limp on his chest. Very unpresidented.
