It has been 59 days since Mueller turned in his report. Just sayin...

Trump freaks out over Deutsche Bank money-laundering bombshell in early morning tweetstorm
President Donald Trump lashed out against reporting about his suspicious transactions flagged by Deutsche Bank as potential money laundering.


Trump is destroying our spirit with yet another distraction from his illegal actions by threatening war with Iran. He does what he wants with no consequences. He is destroying our faith in the rule of law because he is proudly flaunting his criminality every single day. Impeachment is too easy on him, he needs to be arrested today.

The fault lies with the Iranians, not the United States or any other nation.

I Would Think U.S. Servicemen Would Protect Fellow U.S. Servicewomen. Instead, RAPE LISTS. My God.
Servicemen on the second submarine in the U.S. Navy to integrate female officers and sailors with its male crew kept ranked “rape lists” of the women, triggering fears for their safety, a military investigation found.
The lists were shared on the USS Florida, a guided-missile submarine, where investigators found that “lewd and sexist comments and jokes were tolerated, and trust up and down the chain of command was nonexistent,”

Today's special is...

Michael Flynn told Mueller's team White House, congressional officials tried to influence his cooperation
Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn told the special counsel's office that people connected to the Trump administration and Congress sought to influence his cooperation with the Russia investigation, and he provided a voicemail recording of one such communication, prosecutors said in a court filing made public Thursday.


FYI: Barack Obama personally warned Donald Trump not to hire Flynn. So did Sally Yates and James Comey and probably the chef who makes him hamberders.

I can just hear Sarah Slanders: "We're aware of that report, we don't really put much stock in a false accusation by an admitted liar." - Suave Hellion tweet

I Wonder How Long It Will Be Before Trump Attacks Biden's Dead Son
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is leading the pack of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, has been buoyed by a message that he is the candidate best able to defeat President Donald Trump in a general election, and a new poll lends additional weight to that assumption.





Never forget, Trump fired Flynn for lying 2 weeks after Trump fired Sally Yates for telling the truth. - John Fugelsang
