Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy; it is democracy. Trump no. 94.

Yes, Gump, and too lazy and uninterested to actually read about whomever he was speaking about

We have ways of making you clap:
Walter Shapiro
@MrWalterShapiro
If I read this correctly, after a 17-year-old high school student was removed from a prime place at the Montana Trump rally, he had to spend 10 minutes with the Secret Service and the local police. Only in authoritarian counties is not clapping a crime.

Trump is about to deliver a speech in Fargo. Follow me for a video thread.
[Sample]
TRUMP makes stuff up: "When I walked in, I was walking in with Kevin Cramer, & walking through the door & a strong man came up to me, tough kind of a guy & said, 'I want to thank you, Mr. President, for saving our country.' And he had tears coming down his eyes... he had tears."

'Judiciary Committee vote next hurdle for Kavanaugh.
During the last day of hearings, Watergate figure John Dean called Kavanaugh's nomination 'troubling.' '

We need that Trump speech bingo card again.

'Eric Trump's Tweet About Hatred Is Just Too Ironic For Folks Online.
"Does your dad know you are talking about him?" one person replied to Donald Trump's son on Twitter.'

Have you seen Infowars vs Marco Rubio?

Also, Colbert has a useful suggestion for when we meet nutjobs.

Aww, was he tired after up being up all night looking for that ominous mouse:
'Fell Asleep' To Barack Obama's Speech
"But Melania was watching and recording Obama's speech..."

The Parkland testimony from Alayah Eastmond was indeed powerful.

As was this from a child, Jackson Corbin, representing those with pre-existing conditions.

'Trump will undoubtedly face impeachment, says Watergate attorney.'

Rip van Hipster

Those sheriffs Trump hosted, several were connected with the Constitutional Sheriff and Peace Officer Association (CSPOA), founded by Arpaio, I believe.

The Indie:
Still, the attorney doesn’t foresee impeachment proceedings removing Mr Trump from office. “He will resign,” Mr Hall said in the event of impeachment proceedings beginning after the 2018 midterm elections.

I am not so sure he would go down without a fight, but I can't see him submitting to any open hearings. But who knows?

It would depend what he could blame it on, I think. (Or who? )

Thanks ohmy.

Here is the latest Butina doc.

'I have this "thing". It really bothers me when the people, who are supposed to be served by their representatives over donor money, have documents withheld for a SCOTUS appointment.

So - stay tuned for a big Kavanaugh document dump.'

So, lion, after 'Strictly', that is my evening's reading sorted

It's a lot ...

This is relevant to the first doc. in the Velvet Blade stash:
www.crf-usa.org/brown-v-board-50th-anniversary/the-adarand-case.html

( lion, judging by the time it will take me to absorb everything related just to doc. one, scrub evening, insert year )
