TRUMP just effectively bought himself another 18 months. It will take that long to hand the Russia investigation to a special prosecutor

Sorry, they both appeared minutes within each other

Chuck is well pissed off.

Interesting. McCain appears to have altered his statement.

Chuck had steam coming out of his ears. I can understand why.

But I didn't think it confirmed that at all, Ginger.

Looks like they are just going to pretend they have done the right thing by firing Comey but it just took time to get around to it.

GingerIvy They have a bill to ban Muslims, Jews, and LGBT people from adopting?

I hope the Supreme Court kills that thing dead, even with Gorsuch. I would have thought ACLU would be all over it too.

I'm told letter will come from Sheri Dillon, POTUS's tax attorney. WhiteHouse says Q is about biz, not public office

Jackelope It's shocking. It's 2017 FFS.

I no longer believe a word that Spicey says. And that includes the definite articles!

In possible sign of closer ties between US and Russia, Trump plans to meet Russia's foreign minister at White House. apne.ws/2qZlY91

Yes. I fear that that's so.

President Trump’s dismissal of a sitting FBI director rings alarm bells for our system of checks and balances. www.aclu.org/news/aclu-comment-trump-firing-fbi-director-comey …

Sorry. I was referring to the constitutional crisis.

US names always make me smile in their absurdity
Should Chuck (wtf is that name!) chuck in the towel...

Because 45 has no concern for people, I think he doesn't realise that 'others' - people of integrity and conscience - might care about the American People more than they do about him.

Tomorrow, by the way, is not the day to sell the farm and toddle down to your friendly stockbroker with the proceeds. The markets are not happy.
