Bet they don't mention that on Fox and Friends

Trump has had an uneven approach to health care since becoming president. He has gone on record multiple times to say it should implode though he reversed course last week and encouraged Republicans to skip their August recess to work on the legislation.

WaPo confirms Trump and his advisers are weighing options for replacing Sessions, considering a recess appointment.

Trump leaves Sessions twisting in the wind while berating him publicly

It's getting to the point now that when I switch the news on in the morning I'm wondering if I'm watching a Leslie Nielsen film rather than actual footage.

His 'speech' to the Boy Scouts - just

And apparently McCain (as ill as he is) is returning to DC to vote today.

I saw this on FB.

Trump youth - I don't think he'd have a problem with it.

When I saw this yesterday, I assumed it was another balloon-esque parody but it's not!

It was to raise money for charity so not knocking the sentiment but it made me smile.

I have this sinking feeling that he thought he was talking to some sort of Trumpian Youth.

Scaramucci seen here in phase 2 of the Trumpbot programme. Seems effective so far.

Japan's Abe seems to be in trouble at home. I'm guessing his US trip didn't do him any favours.

Boy Scouts of America now in trouble with many parents.

I'd be apalled too.

He's so frustrated that he can't click his fingers and get his own way that its overwhelming him now. At least he didn't tell them his tic tac trick.

I don't understand what's motivating John McCain to return to DC.

I've noticed most MSM and the Twitter gossips are making comments about the possibility of intercepts that might contradict Kushner's statement. I wonder how many leaks the MSM are currently not reporting at Mueller's request. Do the investigation and IC have insurance policies in place in case Trump decides to go full blown autocrat? fingers crossed

I mentioned before that Maddow has warned against the pivot to Clinton's links to Russia and on Radio 4 Today this morning that's exactly what happened. Why are the congressional committees investigating Trump's links to Russia? The point of their investigation should be everyone's links to Russia and especially the Clinton links. The interviewee was Pete Hoekstra - former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Is it just me or does Trump's drawing look like a series of penises, each with one testicle larger than the other?

That speech. Just beyond words.

Feeling really gloomy so a bit of light relief. Colbert on Scarramuchi.

I really do love him.

Not just you AGnu.

Can't believe that speech to the boy scouts! Isn't scouts supposed to be non-political? It is here at least.

That speech at the Jamboree sounds like an attempt to restart Hitler's youth.

There's patriotism and then there's nationalism BadKitten. He stepped over the line into excessive nationalism in front of impressionable kids. That's unpardonable IMO. he can be vulgar, stupid and a bully in front of adults all he wants (although he shouldn't - he's POTUS FGS!), but when giving a speech to children, make this your moment to be dignified. Be a President. If you can't do that, step aside for someone who has the ability to do so.

Can you believe that he alluded to Levitt's (another philandering, tax dodging bankrupt, no wonder Trump liked him) yacht "parties" to a bunch of kids?

He's on the attack with Sessions. I fear Sessions is on the way out. The fact he is doing this on a public forum is extremely unprofessional - definitely not "modern presidential".

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - "quietly working to boost Clinton." So where is the investigation A.G. @seanhannity

Problem is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the Hillary investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!

Jill McCabe received $700,000 in donations from Clinton supporters for her attempt in 2015 to get elected to the senate?

Claws it's this. I'm sure it's been investigated and nothing is wrong but it's another Clinton smokescreen.
