The Trump-Putin Summit in Helsinki, coming so soon after Trump’s ally-crumbling display in Britain and at the EU, is still sinking in. Let’s just say: he’s in all kinds of shit. All the kompromat.

www.thedailybeast.com/russian-hackers-new-target-a-vulnerable-democratic-senator?via=twitter_page

'The Russian intelligence agency behind the 2016 election cyberattacks targeted Sen. Claire McCaskill as she began her 2018 re-election campaign in earnest, a Daily Beast forensic analysis reveals. That makes the Missouri Democrat the first identified target of the Kremlin’s 2018 election interference.

McCaskill, who has been highly critical of Russia over the years, is widely considered to be among the most vulnerable Senate Democrats facing re-election this year as Republicans hope to hold their slim majority in the Senate. In 2016, President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by almost 20 points in the senator’s home state of Missouri.'

This is just for shits and giggles.

Neal Cavuto criticized Trump on his Fox News show

Cavuto response to 'mean tweets' on his criticism of Scrotus. It's pretty amusing.

President Trump didn't take questions this morning.

There is no WH briefing currently scheduled today.

There was one WH briefing this week- it was 13 minutes. There have been only 3 briefings in July.

Amy really gives a fig about this stuff:
@amyfiscus
The tweets, as @nytmike and @maggieNYT reported, are among several pieces of potential evidence that Mueller could use to build an obstruction case. Others include possible pardon offers to witnesses and firing the director of the FBI.

@nytmike
It’s not just the tweets (and public statements) it’s how they line up with his efforts in private to pressure Comey and Sessions. Here’s timeline of how it all looks to Mueller. “How Trump’s Public and Private Acts Line Up in a Possible Obstruction Case” (link: nyti.ms/2JW95Fb?smid=nytcore-ios-share) nyti.ms/2JW95Fb?smid=n…

We're back up in the Sierras to beat the heat. Temps of 103-107 at our house since Wednesday. So I'm in and out of the internet. Shit always starts happening when I'm not closely monitoring !

I'm hoping the stuff going down w/Cohen is something that will give Mueller et al something to REALLY chew on.

And in other news.....Yosemite National Park is closed due to a fire......and it looks like the house DH and I had built as newlyweds, our first home, the one we brought our babies home to, is in the direct path of another fire and may already have burnt. Our old neighbourhood was evacuated last night. I feel for the family living there now, but it also has me in tears for myself. DH and I actually hid 'mementos in the walls and under the pilings of the deck along with some coins from the year it was built.

Well, that certainly drifted OTT. Sorry.
