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...

So glad about your brother, Natsku Hope he's off to meet his nibling shortly! Oh, sorry, just realised you are in different countries! Well, that he will meet baby on Skype soon!

Great brother news, Natsku.
Fingers crossed for more great family news.

Thrilled to see the news, Natsku!

Now back to page 4 to catch up on what I missed while I was moving house last week

Best news ever!

Still waiting for newborn cuddles though, a long way to go yet

Look on the bright side, Natsku. You're not crouched by the side of a cold, wet, road.

President Trump: NHS 'going broke and not working'

You ain't getting your orange paws on it, pal. Trust me.

Trump's attacking the NHS. This has made me far angrier than I thought I would be and I'm furious that I'm siding with Jeremy Hunt

The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!

@Jeremy_Hunt
I may disagree with claims made on that march but not ONE of them wants to live in a system where 28m people have no cover. NHS may have challenges but I’m proud to be from the country that invented universal coverage - where all get care no matter the size of their bank balance

Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!

Translation: Trump is never going to declassify the Democratic memo that debunks Nunes.

House Intel very likely to approve release of Schiff’s memo today. At that point, Trump will have five days to object to or allow its release. Dems may not be too optimistic after this tweet

Yes Pain - agreeing with Hunt seems unnatural and a bit dirty - but in comparison to Twitler...

#Russia's state TV claims the #NunesMemo proves there was a conspiracy by the U.S. Intel Agencies against Trump.
[Note how the Russian state TV, which remains virulently anti-American, keeps taking Trump's side.]

• if the committee votes to send it to the full House, then any single member can force a secret session to vote on overruling the president.

He's flailing around. (Looks like events haven't gone his way in the last few days.)

But will they overrule him given he's telegraphed in large shiny letters that he'd like the memo kept under wraps?

Difficult to tell. They'll likely have one eye elsewhere, anyway..........

DEVELOPING: Dow continues to fall to start Monday, drops more than 300 points.

Quite. (It's recovering slightly, though.)

Dow continues to fall to start Monday, drops more than 300 points.

Ah!

Even this morning I got thinking that when the stock market climbs up, it must fall down at some point. This was a propos of Trump claims about it.

Should we consider it as a normal bump or give credit to the SOTU address?

I saw a report that said it was a natural correction to the report on Friday on jobs (it showed good increase in wages) which lead to a fear that the Fed would increase inflation rates so the fall is in anticipation of that.

I think that recent performance is to be .......expected. The trouble for 45 is that he's 'wedded himself' to ever-increasing heights.
