Trump thread # 100 “Cannot you see that I, too, have a tall and beautiful person?”

[TheClaws]

Roman Emperor Nero wrote the above in a manual titled ‘Care of the Hair’. Nero was tyrannical, vain and cruel, and thought little of the lives of others. He also liked to erect buildings and carve his name into them. if only we could learn well from the past.

Exclusive Docs: If Republicans are investigating Uranium One—then they will be forced to investigate Trump’s US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman—since his administration authorized Uranium One to do business in the US while Governor of Utah in 2007.

More from lionheart's Axios link:

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, tells us that based on witness testimony and documents that he has seen behind closed doors, the Russia probe is "the most important thing I will ever work on."
Warner told me yesterday at an Axios News Shapers event: "I feel that more strongly today than even a year ago. And we don't even have near the tools that Robert Muller has in his investigation."
In TV interviews over the past year, Warner has been candid as he vacillated between thinking there's more smoke or more fire. Now, he clearly sees fire.

Trump's new Ambassador denies that he said there were no go zones in the Netherlands. Calls it fake news
Is show footage of him saying there are no go zones.
Denies saying it was fake news

President Trump says that he's making a "long & beautiful list" of his successes.

It's going to be on a postcard, presumably. Perhaps a postage stamp?

It will officially be written in invisible ink.

This is big cuz it immediately triggers across the board reductions in @Medicare and a number of other programs as per a 2010 deficit reduction law. Some thought he would wait until after the first of the year so as to delay the reduction. Not. @ChuckGrassley #IaPolitics

Bloomberg Breaking!!! Bannon and Lewandowski asked to testify to House Intelligence in early January in the Russia probe. Neither has responded yet to the invite -- which was not a subpoena.

Can a legal friend explain this EO which basically reads as if it gives Trump the power to unilaterally seize property for human rights abuse and corruption.

Trump says he wanted to wait to sign tax bill until Jan. 7 or 8 during a big ceremony but "all the networks" were questioning today whether he would sign before Christmas. So he decided to do today.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have subpoenaed bank records from Deutsche Bank about entities associated with Jared Kushner’s family company, four people briefed on the matter tell NYT: <a class="break-all" href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/22/business/kushner-deutsche-bank-subpoena.html?referer=t.co/G2qRIhHKb2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/22/business/kushner-deutsche-bank-subpoena.html?referer=t.co/G2qRIhHKb2

Kushner's been unseen for a few days. Any bets on whether or not he leaves the country?

Look for him where there is no extradition treaty. Saudi perhaps?

It’s the daily mail so haven’t linked but from a week ago:

The in-laws are in town! Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner get a visit from his mom Seryl and convicted criminal dad Charles, as their cars are seen being loaded with bags for a weekend away

Jared's parents Charles and Seryl, both 63, were photographed arriving to Ivanka Trump and Jared's house in Kalorama today
A Secret Service agent let them in; Jared left for work earlier in the day and Ivanka wasn't seen around the family home
Charles pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering in 2005; he was sentenced to two years
Seryl and Charles both smiled as they arrived to the house Ivanka and Jared share with their three children
Suitcases, including one with Arabella's name on it, were loaded into the car, suggesting the family was about to go on a weekend getaway together
Ivanka, 36, was last seen leaving her Washington, D.C. house yesterday morning

Another Chilling statement, this time from Elijah Cummings:

"The oath we take as Members of Congress is not to Donald Trump—it is to the Constitution of the United States. I believe the Republicans in Congress have either forgotten that vow, or they are forsaking it."
