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...

Jared Kushner’s corrupt building address is numbered 666.

The DOW (which trump seems to love so much) dropped 666 points.

The mark of the beast is 666.

Every trump regime policy literally envisions the end of days.

Coincidence? I don’t believe in those.

Had to vent, sorry.

It is an interesting and amusing coincidence.

They're coming out of the woodwork, I see.

Interesting coincidence or 'proof of life', cozie?

Apologies - Just saw story about wall is from April 2017 - so was probably posted a lifetime ago! (As you were)

I don't remember it but it was a long time ago in Trump years.

Ah. Trump Years.............

Like dog years, but in reverse. We’re only a year in, but it feels like seven. (I’m willing to concede I may have mixed up my cat and dog years.)

Only seven?

[this is just supposition, though it’s an idea that many on my twitter feed are pondering]

This was always how this would go...

Nunes, like Trump, is incapable of thinking even one step ahead.

Release a memo impugning the intel community.

Expect leaks making you look like an idiot.

Not exactly shocking.

Ineptitude is a good thing sometimes.

I think that Nunes is genuinely incompetent at this level. (Maybe he cuts grass well - who knows.) That's not such a good thing.

Gowdy lays out the case against Trump. Gowdy helped write the memo and has seen all the evidence. Gowdy is a tool (Benghazi) but v pro rule of law.

sorry, @deanbaquet won't acknowledge

and yeah, NYT fired its public editor

and yes, she was fired after sharply criticizing NYT's Russia coverage during campaign

i wrote abt her critique here, almost exactly one year ago. so yeah, NYT editors have mum for long time on this;

www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/01/23/ny-times-remains-embroiled-controversy-over-its-2016-coverage-russia-and-trump/215083

and guess what, she hit the NYT for sitting on the Russia dossier, which they had during the campaign and while they were writing story that there was not connection between Trump and Russia

mind-boggling stuff

i honestly forgot how completely fuked up this all was....the NYT confirmed the dossier during the campaign and refused to publish any of it.

What had the Times known for months? Spayd spells out that Times reporters knew about the dossier, they interviewed its author, knew he was a legitimate former intelligence officer, and could find no “significant red flags” while trying to fact-check the dossier. Despite all that, the Times sat on the dossier story.

they confirmed the dossier and then, 8 days before election, wrote a story abt how there was no connection between FBI and Trump

and you wonder why NYT editors no longer want to answer to a public editor?

this was ALL done bc nyt didn't think Trump would win
