The one in which Trump orders his staff to fire Mueller, and they give him the finger

[PerkingFaintly]

Apparently this has already happened, back in July 2017.

But the orange one try again...

NEW: US Ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson met with Trump today at the White House.

But they didn’t finalize a date for Trump's visit to London, Johnson told me.

To save everyone else from googling:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults
Original release
April 21, 1986
The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults is an infamous two-hour live American television special that was broadcast one-time only in syndication on April 21, 1986.

Hosted by TV personality Geraldo Rivera, the special centered on the opening of a secret vault in the Lexington Hotel once owned by noted crime lord Al Capone, which turned out to be empty except for debris.
The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults is available in its entirety on Geraldo's website.

Dem. @RepJudyChu blasts Trump's decision to invite families of crimes by MS 13 to SOTU, casting it as bid to paint immigrants as dangerous. Chu calls move: “Manipulative. Exploitative. Bigoted. Misleading." and adds Trump's agenda is "driven by white nationalism."

In a normal environment, public comments by the president's son on a sensitive national security issue would indicate he had some direct knowledge of what he was commenting on.

Good point, there, about the Russia Sanctions deadline, Pain.

'WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call.'

New, and my first for @TheAtlantic: Nunes claimed he’d been completely cleared by the Ethics Committee. But the panel never actually gained access to the classified intelligence he was accused of divulging after his excursions to the White House last year. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/devin-nunes-controversy/551792/ …

It’s not getting much air time cozie

Scoop: 8 states have now ended participation in the #Crosscheck program, which is free.

At least two other states (Illinois & NH) are considering bills to prevent Kris Kobach from acquiring their voting data.

Have you seen the invites for the “State of the Uniom” address?

They are at least consistent in their incompetence

Sorry, Lweji. I'm not seeing it.

That typo - oh my eyes!

We are just watching the Dirty Money episode about Trump on Netflix recommended upthread. From what I can tell from the included footage, the tendency towards grandiosity and word salad non sequiteurs started in the early 90s. He could string together whole sentences as a young man.

Uniom.

Just how?

They have been recalled which, I think makes them a collector's item.

So stories about Wray standing up to Trump were bunk. Turns out he's nothing but a Trump man eager to carry out the President's relentless politicization of law enforcement. Talk about your secret society: It's the disgraceful "I hate the rule of law" club

Uniom has become the new covfefe.

'The defense of democratic institutions, norms, values and culture does not always involve standing up for people who have acted heroically. Stories feel better, of course, when it does—when honor goes to those to whom people rally because they have behaved admirably; when the music swells in our minds and it all feels like a screenplay. But democracies don’t function like neatly-ending screenplays. The characters on whom democracies depend may perform erratically; citizens may not fully understand their conduct or motives; people may not trust them.'

McCabe now says FBI head Wray pressured him to step down.

@SenBlumenthal's statement is spot on.

"Congress and the American people deserve a full explanation from FBI Director Wray regarding the circumstances of Deputy Director McCabe's departure."

We spend more time on that than..any other topic, despite the fact that time and time again poll after poll says that frankly no one cares about this issue, and it’s certainly not the thing that keeps people up at night

Donald Trump’s day so far:

• Forced out Andrew McCabe
• Devin Nunes memo is a joke
• Dems begging for its release
• John Kelly in deep trouble
• Carter Page FISA extended
• “State of the Uniom” typo
• Trump has gone silent
• Maybe he’s in a coma
• It’s still only 6pm

This is interesting. Some Rs, to their credit, appear to be standing up to the great Nunes gaslighting. And don't forget that Trump wants the Nunes memo released to bolster the fake alt-narrative, so this challenges the president as well

Returning to post a “yikes!” after finishing the Dirty Money programme. The Trumps are neck deep in shit. God only knows what possessed him to run for public office and the scrutiny that brings.
