I thought you must have been joking about the server, but, no.

For instance, I still ask the FBI: Where is the server?* How come the FBI never got the server from the DNC?* Where is the server?* I want to see the server.* Let’s see what’s on the server.* So, the server, they say, is held by a company whose primary ownership individual is from Ukraine.* I’d like to see the server.* I think it’s very important for this country to see the server.* Nobody wants to see it.* The media never wants to see it.* But I’ll tell you, Republicans want to see it.

Incredibly, yes.

Former officials said the most significant point about the letter was Trump’s readiness to share a supposedly confidential letter from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) leader, Mazloum Kobani, with Erdoğan, whose forces were launching an attack on the SDF.

“General Mazloum is willing to negotiate with you, and he is willing to make concessions that they would never have made in the past. I am confidentially enclosing a copy of his letter to me, just received,” Trump wrote.

“These words on White House stationary should embarrass all Americans, but Trump’s ‘confidential’ enclosure of the SDF commander’s letter will give our allies even less reason to trust America,” said Ned Price, a former CIA officer and National Security Council spokesman. “How much Nato correspondence has been forwarded to Putin?”

I wouldn't be surprised if that's fairly standard practice. Sounds like the sort of thing that many property/real estate figures would do, not just Trump.

If all the mafia do something illegal, does it somehow make it okay because all the criminals do it?

This is Trump, unfortunately.

You could also use the sarcasm color like I do on the relevant bits! Or add fake tags for snark, right-wing mode, etc.

Anyways... random news time.

Moscow Mitch, the great institutionalist, lies about Congress' impeachment powers

Anyone surprised by the pointedly false attack on Democrats?

Trump's National Labor Relations Board has 'systematically' acted to damage worker rights

I think that I've poked at this before, but... it's not like they'd stopped.

Hundreds of asylum officers ask court to block Trump policy, saying it 'defies our asylum laws'

Yeah, it's that bad.

Trump shocks UK couple by trying to introduce them to the U.S. woman who killed their son

You're not the host of the ******* Jerry Springer Show, Trump! WTF?

Another of Donald Trump's cabinet members is currently under investigation for corruption

I'd say that Elaine Chao's corruption should get more attention, but the Trump Administration is a seething cesspool of massive corruption, after all - wait...

Update: We Found a “Staggering” 281 Lobbyists Who’ve Worked in the Trump Administration
That’s one lobbyist for every 14 political appointees, and four times more than Obama had appointed six years into office.

Maybe we should just call it the swamp and actually drain it, for real. Impeach Individual-1! Not that the swamp's going to go down without a fight, of course.

Department of Defense refuses to obey congressional subpoena despite impeachment inquiry

I am feeling such shock that the Republican obstructionism and sabotage of the government has reached so far. Shock, I say. This BS is impeachment-worthy and jail-worthy all on its own. They're not the only ones not having an especially great day, though.

Gordon Sondland's cover story got blown up on the eve of his Congressional testimony

Yeah... that guy was in up to his eyeballs.

And for a final moment of "Why do Republicans not act against the lying scum that gather around their banner?"

Trump "pro-life" evangelicals are now fiercely defending the murder of actual babies

They just keep ratcheting up the immorality and submission to sinfulness. Were I still a Christian, I'd likely be viewing Trump as the Anti-Christ, given the incredible anti-Christian cult depths to which the religious right seems intent on achieving. I'm not, though, so I don't have to suffer through that additional anxiety on top of wondering how they could even begin to reconcile the Bible with Trump.

Nancy Pelosi needs help fast! There is either something wrong with her “upstairs,” or she just plain doesn’t like our great Country. She had a total meltdown in the White House today. It was very sad to watch. Pray for her, she is a very sick person!

“This President is the most patriotic President I’ve seen in many years. He is going to do what is good for Americans.” Congressman Brian Babin, Texas. Thank you Brian!

“What has happened here with the Anthony Wiener laptop, the Server, all of the Emails between Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton, the deleted Clinton Emails - what is going on?” @LouDobbs Joe D & Victoria T!
 
Trump Tweets

Hope all House Republicans, and honest House Democrats, will vote to CENSURE Rep. Adam Schiff tomorrow for his brazen and unlawful act of fabricating (making up) a totally phony conversation with the Ukraine President and U.S. President, me. Most have never seen such a thing!

That'll be a reference to the wife of a US diplomat who killed a teenager here in the UK, promised the police she wouldn't go anywhere, and then left the country. Trump is protecting her, although he did offer to arrange a meeting between his parents and the diplomat's wife.

@SteveScalise
People all across the country should be alarmed.

Pelosi and Schiff are trying to impeach @realDonaldTrump behind closed doors. They're excluding the public, the press, and even Members of Congress from this process.

What are they trying to hide?
 
Norman Alexander said:
That was...utterly shambolic. He had absolutely zero idea what he was talking about. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Do his minders even care what he says in public now? Are they, too, preparing their resumes?
Click to expand...

I doubt it. I think they realise that the vast majority of Americans won't have listened to what the President said. Instead most will hear it second or third hand in whatever bubble they're inhabiting and so they'll have either got "Shambolic Trump stumbles through incoherent Middle East mutterings" or "Consummate statesman President Trump sends powerful message to the world about the Middle East".

The rest really aren't interested in international news, they have their lives to live, bills to pay, sports teams to cheer on and so forth. At some point in late October next year they may get a little interested in what's going on, then again they may just make their choice based on gut feel and/or who Bob/Roberta at work seems to like.

As far as his minders are concerned, he's doing a great job. His base still love him to bits and he has 90%+ approval in the party. So long as there isn't a recession between now and the election he stands a good chance of being reelected and it seems that any criticism from the GOP regarding abandoning the Kurds has simply blown over. :(

Honestly it's hard to construct a better metaphor for the Trump administration than the fact that the United States is now bombing its own military bases.

Wow. It’s like he has some sort of mental disorder that not only prevents him from experiencing genuine empathy but also prevents him from even understanding the concept well enough to pass as merely an insensitive human being.

If I happen upon an accident scene and see the jagged end of someone’s ulna sticking out through the skin, even though I am not a medical professional, I feel comfortable saying, “hey, you should see a doctor about that.”
Similarly, I feel comfortable saying that President Trump should see a doctor about his apparent problem. i wonder if his defenders will ever reach that point?

I find it amusing that whoever wrote this Tweet for Trump realized that the people reading it might not know what "fabricate" means in this context.
