Trump "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"

Perhaps, Mr Trump, it's because they are the only people who find living in the USA under Trump a better prospect that staying where they are?

The monster in Mary Shelley's original book was pretty sympathetic and misunderstood, albeit in a teen emo 'nobody understands me' sort of a way.

WHOOP WHOOP THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Sen. Diane Feinstein has released the whole Fusion GPS transcript off her own bat.

The first headline appears to be that the FBI was interested in Steele's work because it already had a walk-in whistleblower from the Trump campaign saying similar things.

The GOP Gerrymander and the Tea party base was meant to entrench the Republicans basically forever. But Trump has mobilised the opposition like nothing else. Even a top 10 Gerrymandered state like Arkansas can’t resist a motivated turnout that has segments voting up to 98% against you.

The racist revanchists…

Now the thought was that because many of the Senate and Congress seats up for election were safe as houses Republican seats then there was no way there could be a change of the balance in Congress or Senate … and then there was Alabama.

I sure as hell can’t guess what he’d do.

There’s still some checks and balances though – lots of golf courses in South Korea Trump won’t want obliterated.

He comes across more venal than psychopathic but the risk of disaster via misadventure looks high.

The political movement originally established to end slavery in the United States is dying. US Christians – who make up a substantial fraction of US conservatives – should reject the increasingly stark corruption of the modern Republican Party.

Trump's presidency could scarcely have been scripted to be more corrosive…

Yes indeed, but if the car is the USA who will have the ability to fix the nation which is so divided and dysfunctional at its highest level?

Okay, so this is clearly what that Fusion GPS op-ed was about.

Republican senators have made their first referral for prosecution from their Trump-Russia "investigation".

And it's ... Christopher Steele.

Yeah, of course he's the guy you'd charge after hearing all the evidence. This is beyond transparent.

White House comms staff urged everyone to grant access to Wolff because they thought “this was going to be a positive book for the President.”

Trump has been fairly ineffective so far, other than passing that disgusting tax bill, and signing executive orders for things like slicing up national parks and denying climate change at a rate 80% greater than Obama's.

....and appointing a whole bunch of manifestly unqualified idiots to lifetime-job federal judge positions.…

Russsian State propaganda is doing its best to discredit the current opposition protests in Iran. Their line is much the same as what was used in Syria – there is no moderate opposition and it’s all instigated by the US.

They would, and did, say much the same if Obama…

He could be suing Bannon for good-old-fashioned defamation. Frankly, I can't see how he can avoid suing in these circumstances, either. Allowing the assertions to stand uncontested would also seem like an admission of guilt.

At least in the US, unlike the UK, truth is s defence.

The only problem with all of this is that Trump has been fairly ineffective so far, other than passing that disgusting tax bill, and signing executive orders for things like slicing up national parks and denying climate change at a rate 80% greater than Obama's.

Barnstormer of a New York Times story on White House efforts to undermine Comey and stop Sessions from recusing himself from the DoJ Trump-Russia investigation.

Amazing.
