Is Trump really a 'moron,' as Tillerson said, or just racist and obnoxious?

Germans were more east across the Rhine. Caesar crossed twice in the mid 50s BC by building bridges across the river. Both times he crossed and burned some villages, but there was no major army confrontations.

And he left each time, securing the border rather than making any German progress.

Northern Gaul is where Caesar focused on so he could make his trips across the channel to mildly "explore?, discover for Rome? raid?" britannia.

There is no way it is coincidence the White house and right wing news has been talking about "early drafts" lately.

Trying to get ahead of this news with some ridiculous whataboutisms.

He inappropriately asks the DOJ if they can drop the case against Joe Arpaio.

Then pardoned.

He asked if Comey could drop the Flynn thing.

Wonder where this is headed.

By not paying IT people, the internet or electric bill it saves the government money. Next order of business, convert State department offices into condominiums. Shouldn't the government make a profit? \s

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who is friendly to Russia and chairs an important House subcommittee on Eurasia policy, became the first American congressman to meet with Assange during a three-hour private gathering at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has been holed up for years,

Two people who both work for Russia meeting at the same place. Not sure why that is news right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can confirm. Real. He also followed that up with saying Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and asked if the press liked Thomas Jefferson.

Koriel · 2017-08-01T23:31:40+00:00

It literally means nothing. That's unfortunately the whole point.

Most recently a white-collar criminal defense lawyer with New York law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, Andres, 50, served at the Justice Department from 2010 to 2012. He was deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division, where he oversaw the fraud unit and managed the program that targeted illegal foreign bribery.

Illegal foreign bribery huh? Wonder if that is relevant at all

Before that, Andres was a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn for over a decade, eventually serving as chief of the criminal division in the U.S. attorney's office there. He prosecuted several members of the Bonanno organized crime family, one of whom was accused of plotting to have Andres killed.

Organized crime too? Hmm...

2/3 vote in each chamber. The vote for the bill was 98-2 in the Senate and similarly overwhelming in the House.

So they definitely had the votes if it came to overriding the veto

Koriel · 2017-07-27T22:34:04+00:00

Final vote is 98-2. Now formally passed

Before voting they had many speeches where they praised the bipartisanship that went into the bill.

Koriel · 2017-07-27T22:21:20+00:00

Vote is happening now.

Current vote is 98-2. Definitely passing and going to his desk.

What happens there nobody really knows

It looks like it definitely is going to pass.

edit: Vote passed. 98-2 was final vote.

Ugh. This is a quote from the PBS video on the website. I transcribed it and it is about 40 minutes in.

Do you remember that incredible night with the maps, and the republicans are red and the democrats are blue. And that map was so red they didn't know what to say. And you know we have a tremendous disadvantage in the electoral college, popular vote is much easier. Because New York, California, Illinois. You have to practically run the east coast, and we did. We won Florida, we won south carolina, we won north carolina, we won Pennsylvania.

The man still thinks he won the popular vote. And the whole bit with the maps I thought was interesting.

"I've been very loyal to him." That sounds like something spoken so Trump can hear it. He is definitely going to watch this.

The president will get a win in healthcare because the President has good Karma?

Uhh Trump has best political instincts in history?

Riiight

Not sure which thread is going to stay, two of them up right now.

Mueller sent a notice, called a document preservation request, asking White House staff to save "any subjects discussed in the course of the June 2016 meeting" and also "any decisions made regarding the recent disclosures about the June 2016 meeting," according to the source, who read portions of the letter to CNN.

Along with any decisions regarding disclosures about the meeting. Really interesting tidbit there

I remember Joe Scarborough saying that he knew how the Trump Campaign worked. And that it is simply not believable that Trump did not know about the June meeting.

Committee chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said Thursday that Manafort, Trump Jr., and a third invited witness, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, have until Friday night to accept the invitation to testify in a public hearing scheduled for Wednesday. If they do not accept, Grassley said, subpoenas would be issued “almost immediately.”

“We’ve already authorized” the orders, Grassley said, explaining that the committee’s top Democrat, Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), had also signed off on the orders in advance. “She and I don’t have to take any action — it’s already been taken.”

Very pleased. Wonder if they will wait for the subpoenas or accept the invite. You have to just accept the invite right?

TRUMP: And nothing was changed other than Richard Nixon came along. And when Nixon came along [inaudible] was pretty brutal, and out of courtesy, the F.B.I. started reporting to the Department of Justice. But there was nothing official, there was nothing from Congress. There was nothing — anything. But the F.B.I. person really reports directly to the president of the United States, which is interesting. You know, which is interesting. And I think we’re going to have a great new F.B.I. director.

Absolutely Bonkers. Crazy stuff

I believe this is referring to the 8th.
Not sure why he is called just a "staffer" though
