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...

More linguistic contagion.

And contamination from the swamp.

I don't think this form of a cleanse will work either.

I’ve reviewed the Nunes memo and the Democratic memo (which Republicans are refusing to release).

I can’t divulge the contents. What I can say is that @SpeakerRyan and every House Republican should be ashamed of what they’re doing.

I’m not sure it’s breaking with trump as much as it is an attempt at providing the most meagre appearance of assurances of why it’s fine to disregard the stark and urgent warnings against this from the doj and the fbi.

HUGE crowd protesting outside the GOP retreat right now. Hell yes ✊ www.pscp.tv/w/bUH_YDFWR2p2RFB2eE1lUU98MXZBeFJNUU5Sd1hKbBm2Sp9wmUXbCqHg0COmLvwTjPlXhGBcIyuz1BHAZ4Lx …

Pain I think he's trying to delicately sit on the fence as he tries to slightly distance himself from Nunes without utterly breaking from Trump. I think he smells "indictment"from Nunes.

Dear God, another one!?!?!

I’m horrified and heartbroken to hear of yet another school shooting - this one close to home at Sal Castro Middle School in Los Angeles. Thinking of the victims and their families. I’m determined as ever to fight for gun safety legislation to protect our schools and communities.

I suspect there's some rivalry there.

It was good enough to fire McCabe, no one argues its factually inaccurate, but now days later they want to protect the names of those involved in a scandal that was big enough to fire a senior official a month before retirement? They don’t deserve a pass on that!

Is Don Jr. really saying that McCabe was fired and didn't resign? Or is he just misstating facts? This seems potentially significant.

And yet he was the only one who had the power to stop the release of this, at several opportunities, and still permitted it against all advice. I suppose, like much of this administration, it comes back to words vs actions. They’re all so self serving and duplicitous.
