Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

The president of the United States

"But you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall. And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them—they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs."

when they throw the large sacks of drugs over

is this wall, like, hip height? is he expecting Mexican drug lords to hire a bunch of professional caber-tossers to hurl their product into the US?

Oh hey, this won't become a thing!

our president may be a z-list silver spoon celebrity / seditious russian agent, in debt billions and billions and billions to putin, but at least he wasn't born in kenya :)

Investigation should prioritize finding out how Clinton killed him before moving back onto the Russia stuff.

large sack of drugs for presidetn

I think we just did that

Indeed, almost seven hours after the revised bill — including the Cruz provision — had been released, no Republican senator had threatened to vote against the bill unless the provision is removed. In fact, Republicans had surprisingly little to say about it.

Drug Trebuchet sounds like the psych side project of Drab Majesty

Anyway back to the suicide by helium here.

Wait is that Kelly Anne Conway signage real?

Pelosi etc call for kushner's sec clearance to be revoked

It may be useless but I appreciate the gesture

The Congress does have some oversight of the IC - they can ask the DNI to do stuff, and pester the DNI about stuff that hasn't been done until it becomes painful. They just can't force the hand of the POTUS.

I worry about the erosion of what's acceptable so pushing back on bullshit like Kush having a TS/SCI "because I said so" is good

I dont see a "no" in that mccain statement, just a bunch of amendments

Also the reason his lawyer isn't even applying for a clearance isn't because he's a drunk. It's because there's significant risk he's been an accessory to crime and the background investigation could uncover it and he'd get kicked off the bar

me neither, but the post has him as a no on their whip count. on the other hand they have heller as an "unknown" rather than "has concerns", so what do they know.

xp k conway signage is real

Shit did that get posted? Sorry. New to me.

Jesus Christ man.. Trump aint never gonna pay his own bills is he?

Another question is who will pay the legal fees for the president and administration officials involved in the Russia inquiries. Some in Trump’s orbit are pushing the Republican National Committee to bear the costs, said three people with knowledge of the situation, including one who euphemistically described the debate as a “robust discussion.”

Although the RNC does a have a legal-defense fund, it well predates the Russia investigations and is intended to be used for legal challenges facing the Republican Party, such as a potential election recount.

The RNC has not made a decision, in part because the committee is still researching whether the money could legally be used to help pay legal costs related to Russia. But many within the organization are resisting the effort, thinking it would be more appropriate to create a separate legal defense fund for the case.

Nothing makes me despair of life more than reading a Trump interview transcript.

Chuck Ross is probably the only good thing about the Daily Caller (he's broken some interesting stories this year) so keep an eye on this

6 people were in that Trump Tower meeting, but we've only heard about 5...story tk

More fun!

The challenge for President Trump’s attorneys has become, at its core, managing the unmanageable — their client.

He won’t follow instructions. After one meeting in which they urged Trump to steer clear of a certain topic, he sent a tweet about that very theme before they arrived back at their office.

Ah I see it's the same one linked earlier -- but I do love that opening anecdote.

Hmm

https://www.justsecurity.org/43077/dnc-hack-lawsuit/

On Wednesday, three victims of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) cybertheft and subsequent document release by WikiLeaks filed a federal lawsuit against Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and Roger Stone. While there are many hurdles to be cleared, this litigation could eventually become a vehicle for discovery of documents and evidence in a judicial proceeding driven by private litigants. That means that a life-tenured federal judge will make determinations based on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and relevant substantive law without the potential political chokepoints presented by a partisan Congress and compromised Executive.
