What a proud papa.


Whenever I see Eric Trump mentioned, I can only think of the Family Feud SNL skit where it is Team Clinton vs. Team Trump:

I'm Donald Jr, the brains.
I'm Ivanka, the beauty.
And I'm Eric.

I don't really care about the results of the fitness test beyond the fact that he's obviously not 239 lbs. what a weird thing to lie about; his voters won't care what his weight is. they have eyes. I guess it's possible that since he's 71 that he has almost no muscle mass at this point, but he isn't a small man.

I had read somewhere -- maybe Fire and Fury -- that he fixates on the overweight/obese distinction. So it's pretty funny to see him land two tenths of a point below the latter

I think it's credible he's 239. No muscle mass. We play to their base to dispute it. :)

Werthless offered a great point that this is a diagnostic tool, not a diagnosis method. That said, I maintain that I doubt he got a perfect score.

its Virginia day on the networks. Scott Taylor (former seal, VA beach area) crowing about Dems irresponsibly shutting down the government over selfish motives that have no business in the discussion (DACA), Brat (middle of the state) being on somewhere earlier (people asked me who the nut job is) saying that smart foreign nationals should stay home and make their country great. Our moment in the sun Virginia!

In Touch published an interview with Stormy Daniels about her and Trump having an affair. It claims that it had in the can since 2011. (unintentional pun, but worth leaving)

What happens next? Denial. Slides off and slips down the drain. Evangelicals, what is their move, nothing likely.

I wonder how much of a bump pornhub has seen for searches of Stormy Daniels?

Y'all notice that Trump's approval ratings have spiked by around 5% since New Year's Day? What do you think accounts for this?

Good press regarding tax cuts and bonuses. A relative dearth of tweet storms personally attacking people.

"Steve Bannon’s attorney relayed questions, in real time, to the White House during a House Intelligence Committee interview of the former Trump chief strategist, people familiar with the closed-door session told The Associated Press. As lawmakers probed Bannon’s time working for President Donald Trump, Bannon’s attorney Bill Burck was asking the White House counsel’s office by phone during the Tuesday session whether his client could answer the questions. He was told by that office not to discuss his work on the transition or in the White House."

the White House could evoke executive privilege but hasn't officially yet, now that Bannon is subpoenaed by the committee instead of being "asked" to answer questions, they'll have to officially evoke it

they most likely won't be able to evoke it against Mueller though

Casey's office said he's a 'No' on any CR that doesn't include both a DACA fix and CHIP funding.
