Wonder how long it'll take him to incriminate himself without being prompted.

Have to block out more time on my work calendar

Don Jr. seems to have confirmed his dad asked Comey politely to drop the Flynn thing, with the excuse that it wasn't anything like an order because you know when DJT is giving an order.

In defense of Don Jr. this was always a much better defense for the WH. 'Yeah, I said if you can, let it go because he's a good man, but that wasn't an order. And it was just because I felt Flynn hadn't done something wrong, and we were unnecessarily entangling a good man. If he had done something wrong that I didn't know about and Comey couldn't let it go, that's fine. I also asked if anyone in my satellite was up to no good that I should hear about it, and want the full justice of the law to apply equally in these cases. I wasn't trying to stifle anything.'

But they denied this request happened, so something's up. This WH chooses the dumbest possible path, at all times, without fail.

They're in pure reactionary mode. Very rarely do they think beyond the next 48 hours.

I think that he cancelled but I can't find a good source that says so. I guess if we wait long enough, we'll find out for sure.

Sessions is a moron.

Think that was the budget hearing but he will still do justice?

Yes- he feels it's more important to testify in front of Intelligence because he has to clear up all these stories about him going around

UK trip now on hold

Macron's party and allies won 400+ seats to take the lower house. FN is going to win barely any seats (5-10), and the Socalists will end up with 20some seats. Melenchon may end up with the same amount of seats. Crazy.

Good too see that between rounds of golf he was able to get some tweets in.

the REAL corrupt president was PRESIDENT OBUMMER


this is the stuff 30% of political followers willingly inundate themselves with

DC and Maryland are suing the president for corruption, and constitutional violations. Certainly a partisan play, and I wish that there was a different vehicle to sort that out rather than State lawsuits.

the USA Today took hard lessons from Labour's recent showing in the UK election. They think it shows that the Democrats shouldn't follow Bernie Sanders:

That won’t happen if they follow the lead of Labour and adopt far-left policies or get behind people like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the 75-year-old self-proclaimed democratic socialist.

he's the most popular politician in the country.

It remains to be seen whether they can get it from Democrats, who have trouble getting past identity politics or growing their appeal beyond minorities and urban elites. Expanding Social Security or vastly increasing health care spending — ideas pitched by Sanders and others — make them look even more fiscally irresponsible

the USA Today is amazing. Republicans aren't into identity politics, at all! And expanding social security? what a losing political idea that one is.

this is the #1 paper in the US.

Probably because it comes free with a hotel room.

Texas bans the most common, safe form of abortion and requires cremation/burial for aborted fetuses. this comes after they were previous slapped by the supreme Court for anti-abortion laws.

Gov Abbott is going to call a special session to get down and dirty for the people:

n Tuesday, Abbott announced that the Texas Legislature will reconvene on July 18 for a special session to address issues including the anti-trans bathroom bill, private school vouchers, and several more anti-abortion measures. Abbott’s abortion-specific agenda includes banning private insurance plans from covering abortion, banning abortion providers and affiliates from receiving government funding, and requiring increased reporting of abortion complications.
