How about the next hour. I got a notification that the @WSJ is moving a story on Trump and a Russian bank. This isn't slowing down. https://t.co/k25su3AQSi

Headline/opening paragraph gives you the gist.

Meantime:

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/17/tax-reform-wall-street-238474

Executives, lobbyists and Wall Street analysts increasingly believe the administration — distracted by repeated crises while facing a short and crowded legislative calendar — will be unable to deliver on Trump’s promise to slash corporate and individual tax rates this year and ignite significantly faster economic growth.

The main hope now in corporate America and on Wall Street is that the White House and Congress manage to bypass a scary fight over raising the nation’s debt limit this summer, keep the government open and avoid any major foreign policy crisis.

About that.

Buried in here - intel officials don't think McMaster understood significance of intel Trump shared when he heard it https://t.co/qaqAK0Skla

Specifically:

White House counterterrorism adviser Tom Bossert, who was not in the May 10 meeting, learned about what Trump said when he read notes immediately afterward, a U.S. official with direct knowledge told NBC News. He immediately called officials at the CIA and the National Security Agency to report a security breach, the official said.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters Tuesday that what Trump shared was "wholly appropriate," and that Bossert acted "maybe from an overabundance of caution."

McMaster, a serving Army general who is not steeped in counterterrorism, did not immediately realize the impact of what Trump had said, the U.S. official recounted.

We are in a war, and PatriotHole is a cannonball in that war, rocketing at the face of the enemy. That enemy is everyone who is not PatriotHole. PatriotHole is the general’s horse, and the general strokes the horse so nice, oh yes, oh yes. And does the general brush the horse’s nice, long mane? Friend, you know he does and he DOES get the knots out of the hair and the horse loves him for it WITH his most precious horse’s kiss.

You are either on our side or you are the tyrant. You are also enslaved. Some of you may also be stuck in some sort of quicksand. If God hadn’t accidentally burned His hands off in that vat of acid, He would click on PatriotHole a billion times per second. So do His work, and America’s work, and explore the red-blooded truth. Your unborn, non-aborted children will scream “thank you” across the ages.

The worst thing about Ahmed is that as soon as your daughter is done getting her viable baby aborted to pulp, she’ll get pregnant all over again because she can’t get enough of Ahmed’s erotic Islamic infanticide.

Representative Justin Amash, a Michigan Republican, said that if the allegations in Mr. Comey’s memo were true, they constituted grounds for impeachment.

I can only hope that his ultimate demise is so over the top and undignified and just like a completely mortifying perversion of anything that should ever occur to a human body that even his most resolute opponent will agree that his claims of unfair treatment were finally proven correct.

After Amash defeated Ellis in the August primary, with 57.4% of the vote to Ellis' 42.6%, Amash was highly critical of Ellis and former Congressman Pete Hoekstra, who had backed Ellis. Of Hoekstra, Amash said, "You are a disgrace. And I'm glad we could hand you one more loss before you fade into total obscurity and irrelevance." Amash took exception to one of Ellis' television ads that quoted California Republican Congressman Devin Nunes calling Amash "Al Qaeda's best friend in Congress"; he demanded an apology from Ellis for running what he called a "disgusting, despicable smear campaign."[39][40] As Friedersdorf of The Atlantic notes, "Amash voted against the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, favored a measure to repeal indefinite detention, and opposed reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act."[40]
