Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

Ha. I'm waiting for 45's Damascene conversion to Russian - or other - interference with elections come November.............

I very much hope I'm wrong.

Is Russia like Watergate or Iran/Contra. This article sees greater parallels with Iran/Contra. Interesting... Confused

At the signing of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act at Fort Drum, neither Trump nor Pence mentioned the ailing Sen. McCain.

Thanks, Perking.

Does anyone blame anyone for taping everything? No one in the WH can be trusted, it's dog eat dog, I'd be taping taping taping!

Whatever Omarasa says, whether it's true or not, it's obviously hit a nerve given that BLOTUS is up in the night sending increasingly deranged tweets about her.

Very glad his cage has been rattled.

Why does this not surprise me? He obviously is desperate for some friends.

politicaldig.com/trump-randomly-calls-world-leaders-without-a-topic-to-discuss-leaving-them-confused-report/

'Even when Trump does prepare for meetings or conversations with other foreign leaders, there’s apparently quite a learning curve — for example, he referred to Nepal as “nipple” and Bhutan as “button” as aides prepped him for a meeting with India’s prime minister, Politico reported, citing two sources with knowledge of the meeting.

Since his earliest days in the White House, Trump has perplexed foreign officials and his own aides as he learns how to deal with the world beyond America’s borders. There have been numerous reports of his struggles to follow diplomatic protocol and his apparent propensity for awkward exchanges with foreign leaders.'

Delurking to say I’m still here - I’m just having a bit of an eventful life at the minute and all things Trump seem a bit much on top of that. Amazed that the idiocy churns ever on (well - not, really.) Smile

Classy:
'Carl Paladino Announces His Bid For Congress.
Paladino, a big Trump supporter, once said he wanted President Barack Obama to die from mad cow disease.'

'In 2015, Paladino bemoaned all the “non-Americans walking around” the University at Buffalo and specifically referenced the “damn Asians coming here to go to school.”
And in 2010, Paladino garnered national attention after WNYMedia.net published racist and sexually explicit emails Paladino sent to friends. They included a video called “Obama Inauguration Rehearsal” that appeared to be Africans dancing in traditional attire, racial epithets and pornographic images.'

Shock at Steve Calk's swamp list.

Then there's Michael Cohen soliciting "consultancy" payments from AT&T, Novartis and Columbus Nova for his access to the White House.

Ivanka flogging her bracelets.

The Presidency of the United States is just all one big opportunity for personal enrichment for these folks, isn't it? Bit different from The West Wing, when Sam doesn't want to come back because of the pay cut it will mean after his corporate job.

A clear sign that Mueller team still investigating Trump-Russia collusion - and Roger Stone is a key part of that prob

@CuomoPrimeTime
Following testimony before the grand jury, former “Manhattan Madam,” Kristin Davis, tells @ChrisCuomo it seems Robert Mueller's probe is focused on collusion.
"They were really genuinely concerned with whether or not any collusion happened with Russia." (link: cnn.it/2MkzGkm) cnn.it/2MkzGkm

Trey Gowdy on Fox says Trump asking Comey to show leniency on Flynn does not amount to obstruction, comparing it to how preachers ask prosecutors to show leniency on people accused/convicted. Says U.S. will have to build "a lot more prisons" if what Trump did is called a crime

FBI breaks its silence and says this about why it overruled internal call to demote/suspend Strzok. "The Deputy Director .. has the delegated authority to review and modify any disciplinary findings and/or penalty as deemed necessary in the best interest of the FBI" Our piece:
