Mail bombs are killing people in Texas but Donald Trump hasn’t said a thing. There’s a reason for that. https://t.co/4UWhKeV9IE by @ShaunKing

To summarize, a former sheriff deputy, who had been convicted of abducting his daughters to a Mennonite community in Belize in 2006, set up a phony company to build Trump's border wall, and then led a local militia to bomb a mosque and to attempt to bomb a women's health clinic.

+ a home invasion on someone they thought was a "hispanic drug dealer"
+ some walmart robberies
+ declaration of war against the state of IL (ok fine)

looks like the republicans' benghazi investigation, i mean steele report investigation, might continue on in the senate

The Judiciary panel’s chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), was joined by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) in requesting that DOJ name a special prosecutor to zero in on possible mishandling of the FBI’s Russia investigation prior to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Specifically, the quartet raised concerns about the FBI’s relationship with Christopher Steele, who compiled a dossier of verified and unverified intelligence alleging a Russian effort to compromise now-President Donald Trump.

So the Miami company behind the bridge that collapsed (Munilla Construction Management) has alleged connections to Paul Manafort. No, this isn't a joke. Manafort was apparently helping his client Yan Jiehe find U.S. construction firms ripe for acquisition.https://t.co/uvh2cuvTYr pic.twitter.com/ErMEtTLOKF

It's like Trump decided after a year that maybe Trump should just be Trump and say, well, Trump it. If we're all Trumped anyway then it probably doesn't matter what the Trump Trump does. Just keep on Trumpin'.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 March 2018 01:16 (six years ago) link

Was McMaster happy in that role. I thought one reason he took it was because he was duty bound as a serving officer to obey the President's command in being placed there. & he didn't have the ability to say no that other potential candidates had.

Does being fired from this Whitehouse actually look better on your CV anyway? Though would probably be the earlier teh better both in one's tenure and the regiume.

How valid are these suggestions that the divorce is some underhand subterfuge to protect assets for the future?

papa don't take no meth (stevie), Friday, 16 March 2018 13:07 (six years ago) link

today it's gonna be leave Don Jr. alone, tomorrow it's gonna be how the hell did we overlook Don Jr. transferring everything to his wife while the feds seized all his assets

frogbs, Friday, 16 March 2018 13:08 (six years ago) link

Eh divorce is good for the kids when it’s that or have parents hating each other. Hooray for divorce.

dan selzer, Friday, 16 March 2018 13:16 (six years ago) link
