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...

Not able to keep up in real time at the moment so many thanks for the posts.

Remember. 45 is a man who lost the popular vote.

You have to go back to the McCarthy era to find congresscritters this corrupt. Selling advertising on the Trump channel as the SOTU is streamed is about as emolument as it gets innit?

Oh oh and who was as Trumps lawyer back inthe day???

The 'state' of Donald Trump? He thinks it couldn't be better.

But Trump — who trusts no one, or at least no one for long — has now decided that he must have an alternative strategy that does not involve having Justice Department officials fire Mueller.

"I think he's been convinced that firing Mueller would not only create a firestorm, it would play right into Mueller's hands," said another friend, "because it would give Mueller the moral high ground."

Instead, as is now becoming plain, the Trump strategy is to discredit the investigation and the FBI without officially removing the leadership. Trump is even talking to friends about the possibility of asking Attorney General Jeff Sessions to consider prosecuting Mueller and his team.

"Here's how it would work: 'We're sorry, Mr. Mueller, you won't be able to run the federal grand jury today because he has to go testify to another federal grand jury,'" said one Trump adviser.

He used the word 'prescient'??

The comparisons with Watergate are fasinating, I think but yes, this is a different level.

That projection strategy seems to be spreading.

I think trump and co want it the opposite of darker. Blindingly white is probably what they’re aiming for

Missed this one

Pain. Just prolonging the Watergate debate, you posted the reference to the Schiff segment on Maddow that contained the Nixon clip. I knew I had seen something today! 😊

Criminals were marked with green inverted triangles, political prisoners with red, "asocials" (including Roma, nonconformists, vagrants, and other groups) with black or—in the case of Roma in some camps—brown triangles. Homosexuals were identified with pink triangles and Jehovah's Witnesses with purple ones. Non-German prisoners were identified by the first letter of the German name for their home country, which was sewn onto their badge. The two triangles forming the Jewish star badge would both be yellow unless the Jewish prisoner was included in one of the other prisoner categories. A Jewish political prisoner, for example, would be identified with a yellow triangle beneath a red triangle.

It's just awful how politicians in not only the US, but in other countries, are starting to take the 'Monkey see, Monkey do' route when they see what the Scrotus Gang is doing

It's terrible (and cringeworthy). A woman that stood for the presidential election here seemed to take trump as one of her role models, spouting things like "Finland first" and had trademark hats for her supporters. Of course she didn't win but she did worryingly well.

Isn't it strange Pain? They want to return to something that never existed.

Has Kennedy given any clues how he'll frame the 'Response'?

Have not seen anything about Kennedy yet.

From health care to economic justice to civil rights, the Democratic agenda stands in powerful contrast to President Trump’s broken promises to American families. Deeply honored to be chosen to deliver the response to the State of the Union next week. Stay tuned for updates!

I did not know this. A second memo.
