... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

Strewth, yes; working as a fixer for an organised crime group seems about right!

Not having a telly I had failed to spot it.

And there it is. Trump clears the field for not readily standing down at the end of his term. By suggesting the last two years of his Presidency have been lost in a “witch-hunt”, he believes two years more should be tacked on to the term. Don’t worry about that Constitution thing! (BTW, this is seriously worrying.)

A reminder of my post from a few days ago. Mr. Meadows now heads ICE. 👍 Am I bloody genius or what?

He’s been interviewed for the job now. I expect he and Mr. Homan may head up ICE and DHS respectively. Announcements via Twitter soon. [Grin]

·56m#AmerciaFirst- Mark Morgan: No one from the WH has called me, but if @POTUSasked me to lead ICE, I’d say yes in a heartbeat. I know this border. @RealDonaldTrump is doing the right thing. If he asked, I would work for him in a heartbeat. #MAGA #Dobbs

I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE. Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job!

In a statement, Mr Bolton said: "The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakeable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force."

So the US have sent a War carrier and bomber task force to the ME to warn Iran. Trump and Bolton are desperate to start a war with someone. Anyone. Diversion from Mueller testifying.

'The State Department’s special envoy for monitoring and combating anti-Semitism, Elan Carr, said this U.S. position could spell reviews of ties with foreign governments or leaders.

“The United States is willing to review its relationship with any country, and certainly anti-Semitism on the part of a country with whom we have relations is a deep concern,” he told Reuters during a visit to Israel.

“I will be raising that issue in bilateral meetings that I am undertaking all over the world,” he said. “That is something we are going to have frank and candid conversations about - behind closed doors.”

Carr declined to cite specific countries or leaders, or to elaborate on what actions the Trump administration might take.'

I still can’t believe Trump doesn’t understand that tariffs are paid by the US companies and, indirectly, consumers - not China. China is not paying any penalties here at all!

'It was unclear on Sunday night what Iranian actions Bolton was referring to. There have been no recent incidents in the Persian Gulf where US and Iranian navies are routinely in close proximity and the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group was already bound for the Gulf a month before Bolton made his announcement.'

Lordy.

'(CNN)Donald Trump warning that his presidency is being stolen sure seems threatened by Robert Mueller, especially considering his declaration that the special counsel handed him "complete and total exoneration."'

This thread is worth reading.

"I can’t sugarcoat it: the fate of the republic may depend on how the Dems, the media, & the American people respond to Barr/Mnuchin/Trump/Mueller in the coming weeks.

I remain optimistic & hopeful as ever, but that doesn’t mean the danger isn’t real."
