Trump: yes, we have no Steve Bannon

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

Isn't Arpaio 85 or thereabouts and his wife being treated for cancer, hence all the bleating about not wanting a custodial term? You can't have it both ways. If you need to spend more time with your family, you need to spend more time with your family.

I reckon he's an old man who has had to keep quiet for longer than he would like and who is now enjoying the attention.

Yes, I think you're probably right but I still find it shocking that this awful person who was finally about to reap the consequences of his actions is now prancing about and is in a position to make these remarks. I was flustered by his bluster

It would be almost the worst mistake that 45 could make to ask him to run. Almost.

So he's just spoken then. God that man irritates me, even when he reads a prepared statement.

Ha.

badbad Did you see Trump's expression just before he shot back with the 'thick' insult?

The WH will be having a collective conniption.

I liked this part
"when you have a signed contract, you can't (...) break it"

You can just not pay people. But no breaking. Nope.

here's where you may have to sit down again, the story indicates that the president may not be an entirely honest fellow.*

Make that conniptions in the plural.

Fuck

The Japanese government has sent an alert that a North Korean missile is heading towards the country

Good god. Telling Japanese to take cover

Seems to have passed over.

Oh no! This not good. Not good at all. Can someone please wrestle Trump into a safe room and keep his finger off the button. Scary times.

North Korea’s missile launched at 0558 JST, flew over Hokkaido at 0606 JST towards the Pacific - Japan government via NHK.

KJU isn't testing 45, I think. He's testing Mattis.

Fuck. This doesn't sound great. Japan was very quick off the mark with the warning. I wonder if they could already see at that point, it was going to pass right over?
Let's hope Trump's is calm today and his trigger finger isn't feeling itchy.

Yes, Mattis in the driver's seat there.

Poor Mrs Moon trudges wearily off down to the bunker again.

Fuck.

He's a cunt

Trump on pardoning Arpaio during Harvey: "I assumed the ratings would be far higher than they would be normally." t.co/4tMNoDKN4E

You didn't assume he would be doing something out of principle, did you?

Has anyone seen details of this alleged NK 'purge' from a reputable source?
