Title based on what a college professor used to tell us when the going got tough.

"Just remember when you're standing shoulder deep in horse shit, there's a pony in there somewhere. So just keep digging".

'Eric Swalwell told @maddow tonight that the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a meeting tomorrow on Hillary Clinton's emails. The day after Michael Cohen's plea agreement, that's what was scheduled.'

Trumpty Dumpty was up early with Beauregard on his mind and Poxy on tap:

....FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems - and so much more. Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!

“Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.” Jeff, this is GREAT, what everyone wants, so look into all of the corruption on the “other side” including deleted Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr......

Our Economy is setting records on virtually every front - Probably the best our country has ever done. Tremendous value created since the Election. The World is respecting us again! Companies are moving back to the U.S.A.

Target CEO raves about the Economy. “This is the best consumer environment I’ve seen in my career.” A big statement from a top executive. But virtually everybody is saying this, & when our Trade Deals are made, & cost cutting done, you haven’t seen anything yet!

Dumpty still on a Twitter tear:

@realDonaldTrump
Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!

Ex-NSA contractor to spend 63 months in jail over “classified” information. Gee, this is “small potatoes” compared to what Hillary Clinton did! So unfair Jeff, Double Standard.

So, if Pence is being looked at, who would succeed if both he and Scrotus were 'disqualified'? It would be the Speaker of the House, at this point that's Paul Ryan. BUT, he's already said he's not running for re-election and has recommended this bozo:

Just jump down to the section on 'political positions'.

I've said for a while that HRC and Comey would be indicted as distractions and/or revenge for legal action against his family and allies. A new AG would be onto it straight away.

Gumpendorf · 24/08/2018 13:52

That's a scary list Across. Jim Jordan has also said he will throw his name in the hat for Speaker.

Who thinks like this? Stephen Miller and Nazis in 1942. (For anyone who hasn't seen 'Conspiracy' about the Wansee Conference, it is not just brilliant, it is instructive. The people quoted below would have slipped in around that table with ease)
The lesson of family separation debacle wasn't that govt went too far separating families, an Admin official told me. Rather it was that “we need to be smarter if we want to implement something on this scale” again
Did the outcry over family separation surprise the Administration? Yes, official said. “The expectation was that the kids would go to Office of Refugee Resettlement, that the parents would get deported, & that no one would care

Will Anyone in the Trump Administration Ever Be Held Accountable for the Zero-Tolerance Immigration...

Since the middle of July, a group of twenty government officials has been gathering each week at the headquarters of Customs and Border Protection to discuss what the Trump Administration should do in the aftermath of the failed zero-tolerance policy. 2/

This is exactly what Trump wanted Sessions to do — prosecute leaks of classified information. Last fall, Trump said he was “very weak” on pursuing these investigations.

I mused above about compiling a full list of all the threads so we could track the changes more easily. So here goes:

It seems the threads began on 9 January 2017 and they moved incredibly fast until the end of August when they slowed.

I'm not sure the best way to present the list. I've decided to just list them in batches and then I'll try and keep the list updated and post revised lists at intervals. It may not be of any interest to anyone else, but I think it's an important archive that tracks the Trump years and the perspective of MN posters.

So to Jan/Feb 2017
