Seriously, read this. It's about border guards mistreating minors. It'll make your stomach churn, but read it.

Wow.

JESUS ******* CHRIST

It's amazing what can happen when demagogues manage to convince the credulous that other people aren't actually people.

*Michael Cohen is weak, he's a weak person, unlike some other people you watch, so he's lying to the special prosecutor to get himself a shorter sentence.

What Trump is really thinking: Weak people cave in and tell the truth. Strong people lie forever!!!!!111!11!

ANd Cohen goes Joe Valachi.
A world of hurt for Trump and the GOP is coming down the road fast.

It wasn't even six months ago that Cohen was the RNC Finance Chair.

The predictions of pardons aren't related to Trump's desire to take care of his pals. They're about taking away incentives to testify against him. Such pardons would be a double-edged sword though, since it would be more difficult to invoke the 5th amendment when under subpoena.

It would become impossible and of course lying under oath would still be a crime. Pardons to keep people quiet is really not that useful.

Cohen has testified against him. Even if that weren't true, Trump is all about "loyalty" and is incredibly thin-skinned. There is no way in hell he'd pardon Cohen, even if doing so were in his best interests.

And with Trump loyalty is a one way street.

Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting....

....in Argentina with President Vladimir Putin. I look forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved!

Yeah, sure. The Donald cares about Ukrainian sailors all of a sudden. Right about when lots of bad Russia juju pop-up from the Mueller probe.

I'm sure you are mistaken, he was just a guy that Trump might have passed once in Trump tower.

Trump is even ruining our salads:

At least 16 people have been hospitalized and 43 people have been sickened so far from the latest E. coli outbreak, which the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believe is linked to a contaminated crop of romaine lettuce.

While investigations are still ongoing to determine where the strand originated, a report by Reveal News from the Center for Investigative Reporting appears to pin some of the blame for recent E. coli outbreaks on President Donald Trump‘s administration.

Last spring, another E. coli outbreak in lettuce infected 210 people, hospitalized 96 people and killed five. Despite the fatal outbreak, Trump’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then allegedly delayed important water-testing requirements for produce growers, Reveal reported in September.

Those rules were crafted by the Obama administration’s FDA and passed into legislation by Congress in 2011, in response to several disease outbreaks linked to food, Reveal reported. The rules, which should have gone into effect earlier this year, require farmers to regularly test their irrigation water, which often gets polluted from fecal runoff from livestock or wildlife waste, causing the growth of pathogens such as E. coli.

But according to the outlet, “responding to pressure from the farm industry and Trump’s order to eliminate regulations,” Trump’s FDA “shelved the water-testing rules for at least four years.”

“Despite this deadly outbreak, the FDA has shown no sign of reconsidering its plan to postpone the rules,” Reveal reported in September. “The agency also is considering major changes, such as allowing some produce growers to test less frequently or find alternatives to water testing to ensure the safety of their crops.”

Linky.

A new House Republican steps up to cover for Trump:

A top U.S. House ally of President Donald Trump drafted a "confidential" plan for how Republicans can battle an expected onslaught of Democratic-led congressional subpoenas and investigations against the president and his administration.

"Investigations -- My Plan to Counter" is one of the featured topics contained in a 28-page document prepared by Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina, each page bearing a "confidential" watermark.

Meadows is likely to become the ranking Republican on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a key congressional investigative panel. The committee will be run by Democrats starting in January after the party won a House majority in Nov. 6 elections, giving it a leading role in investigating the Trump administration and the president’s private business dealings.

Linky.

@SteveScalise has written an absolutely fascinating book (BACK IN THE GAME) on the world of D.C. politics, and more. He has experienced so much, in a short period of time. Few people have had his bravery or courage, and he has come all the way back. A big power and great person!

@StephenMoore and Arthur Laffer, two very talented men, have just completed an incredible book on my Economic Policies or, as they call it, TRUMPONOMICS....

....They have really done a great job in capturing my long-held views and ideas. This book is on sale now - a terrific read of a really interesting subject!

@DBongino’s new book, "Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump," is terrific. He's tough, he's smart, and he really gets it. His book is on sale now, I highly recommend!

With all of the new books coming out you can't forget two of the great originals written by @GreggJarrett and @JudgeJeanine Pirro. Their books both went to #1. Go get them now, the phony Witch Hunt is well explained!
