It's tempting to just blame Donald J. Trump for retweeting animation depicting him committing violence against a woman, but there's something deeply wrong with a country that allows a person who does that to remain in office. - Andy Borowitz

Trump supporters were really angry today that it looks like he was making deals with the Democrats and abandoning the border wall. They said that Trump never betrays anyone. Aside from Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, his two ex-wives, and that one daughter he never talks about. Aside from that, he never betrays anybody. - James Corden

Clinton: Trump poses 'clear and president danger' to US
..."I'm hoping that on the really big issues there's enough authority to be able to restrain and contain the president. That's what we all have to hope because I think this president and some of the people around him pose a clear and present danger to our country," Clinton told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.

Eugene Kaspersky has denied that the cyber-security firm he founded is close to the Russian government and insists it poses no danger to its American customers.
Mr Kaspersky told the BBC that the Trump administration's move to ban government agencies from using his products was an "uncomfortable situation". The US has said it is concerned that Kaspersky is vulnerable to influence from the Kremlin.

Obviously, Trump Has Never Watched Hurricane Coverage Until Irma
President Trump said on Thursday that he did not know hurricanes could be rated as high as a Category 5 after his visit to Florida, which is reeling from Hurricane Irma's devastation. 
"I never even knew a category five existed," the president told reporters at the White House. 






Florida Had The Chance To Protect Nursing Homes And Didn't
In the aftermath of 2005’s destructive Hurricane Wilma, Florida lawmakers approved laws to protect motorists at risk of getting stranded on the interstate, and residents of new high-rises who can’t climb stairs.
Proposed at the same time: a bill that would have required some nursing homes to have generators to protect frail elders from the ravages of heat and dehydration.
The bill died.



The White House announced today that President Trump will sign a resolution passed by Congress that condemns white supremacists. Oh, I can see it now, "Okay, Donald J. Trunch. What? I signed it, I signed it." - Seth Myers

Donald Trump tweeted urging Congress to pass his tax reform plan. Here's what he wrote. He wrote, "With Irma and Harvey devastation, tax cuts and tax reform is needed more than ever before. Go Congress, go!" Go Congress! Who does he think he's talking to? They are senators, not Forrest Gump. - James Corden

FBI reveals broader use of grand jury subpoenas in Clinton email probe

FBI reveals broader use of grand jury subpoenas in Clinton email probe
The FBI revealed Wednesday that it used grand jury subpoenas more broadly than previously known in the course of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account and server.


So, even with broader subpoena power, the FBI got bupkis on Hillary.

This Is So Disturbing. What Is Going On In Cuba?
The blaring, grinding noise jolted the American diplomat from his bed in a Havana hotel. He moved just a few feet, and there was silence. He climbed back into bed. Inexplicably, the agonizing sound hit him again. It was as if he’d walked through some invisible wall cutting straight through his room.



Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "It is offensive and unfair to call Donald Trump a white supremacist. No one has done more than he has to prove that white people are not superior." - Andy Borowitz

Republican Shenanigans

I see that Eric Trump and his wife just had a baby boy.  Now, some people might think a kid born into the Trump family is being born onto third base in life.  But I disagree.  Imagine: his father is Eric Trump; his uncle and aunt are Don Jr. and Ivanka; his grandfather is Donald Trump and his great-grandfather was Fred Trump.  That’s not being born on third base; it’s more like being born at home plate with three balls and two strikes against you.
Of course, when President Trump reads this he will exclaim, “My grandson has three balls?  Way to go, kid!  What a guy; I envy him!” - Rick Wise


Parental Guidance With Guns? 
The father of a teenage school shooter in Washington state bought guns for him, according to a police report....According to a police report obtained by Melissa Luck of KXLY 4 News, Sharpe was having suicidal thoughts and brought guns to school to try to “teach everyone a lesson” about bullying. He said he didn’t target anyone specifically.





Listening to Donald Trump is like putting your head through a spin cycle. Without any detergent. - Chelsea Handler
