As requested

...Fox...???

FOX. Sorry. I was a bit blindsided there.

Senator Ted Cruz wants to use assets seized from drug lords such as El Chapo, the Mexican kingpin

At least they'd be getting ONE Mexican to pay for it.

Still, it would be put to better use if directed towards detox and prevention programmes. Maybe. Just an idea.

Ah. What was actually said was

"The White House at least is giving the appearance, according to these congressional leaders, of a lack of cooperation, which could give an overall appearance that they’re trying to cover something up. Why not quit with all the semantic juggling and stuff and get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible?”

Was Shep though. He's been pretty blunt that he is disgusted with all this.

Indeed. It's still pretty stern.

Everyone is being so careful

"There is "no evidence" that Trump's former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn "complied with the law" regarding his payments from foreign lobbying for Russia and Turkey, the bipartisan heads of the House Oversight Committee said today."

I seem to recall that there are possible charges in play here? They likely would be careful.

There's FOX and there's Hannity and O’Reilly's FOX.

Shep and Megyn weren't exactly kind to Trump.

Fox News' nightmarish month continues: a new class action complaint alleges racial discrimination at the network money.cnn.com/2017/04/25/media/fox-news-racial-discrimination-lawsuit/index.html …

This New Yorker article is lengthy and potentially a little depressing - until towards the end. It's worth reading though if you have the time.

A hundred days of Trump

Cheers saffron Cavebaby is doing well: feeding again hence my MNing at this hour!

In honour of all this talk of Canada troubles, is now the time for someone from DoD to break out the invasion plans? The calligraphy is beautiful I hear

(The Hill). Flynn' troubles increasing:

thehill.com/policy/national-security/330571-michael-flynns-troubles-mount

I think Flynn is rapidly shaping up to be the Trump scape-goat.

Across, well, seeing that it's unlikely he'll come of of this unscathed, hopefully Flynn will throw the Trump administration under the bus as well.

Pretty extraordinary statement from the White House on the sanctuary city ruling:

Adam Schiff‏ @RepAdamSchiff
Just wrote @potus along with @timkaine to seek legal justification for Syria strike. Congress' constitutional war powers role is at risk.

There is a reason @RepAdamSchiff is sending this letter today.

It's not because of Syria. It's likely because of North Korea.

Dear Jared Kushner: Lying on the SF-86 security clearance form is a crime. Michael Flynn hired a lawyer. You may also want to hire a lawyer.
