“They actually gave that a 95 percent chance probability. It turned out that that was not what happened; it made the right turn up the coast. But Alabama was hit very hard, and was going to be hit very hard, along with Georgia,” Trump told reporters, without further explaining where he got the 95 percent figure.

In all seriousness, the Alabama thing is precisely why nobody would let Trump talk to Mueller.

The fact that it’s a one-off tweet is astonishing.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

There are reports about him being rattles over the gaff of Pence's body man (CoS) saying that Don suggested his club. Then the whole emoluments thing, blah, blah, blah. FFS it is stupid since Don himself fills his coffers by staying at and visiting his places with an entourage all time time at costs of millions. Then he, himself, stayed at Doonbeg on an official visit. Of course he suggest his club for the G7. It is hard to believe that is what rattled him.

For Pence's part, he handled it about as badly as he could. Team Pence about 'own goaled' it as much as possible, in every way possible.The general Mike Pence sycophantic way of existing is going as well as it can in a mode that works poorly in general. He has betrayed his public beliefs in trade for weak power. He seemed to think no one would notice that he was staying 180 miles away from his meeting, on the wrong damn coast of the country. Paying it up to the boss, combine with general ineptitude borne of a quest for power has paid out.

Over in the corner is Mike Pompeo looking at his watch.

So this is why the UK is fucked at the moment.

Also I guess because despite this absolute cluster fuck, polls show that Conservatives would likely gain seats if an election were called.

Who would we expect Trump to pick as his next running mate? Hannity? Hulk Hogan? Macaulay Culkin? Joe Arpaio? Vince McMahon? Ivanka? Marianne Williamson? I really feel like nothing is off the table and I actually really want to see who he picks.

And .... another Alabama tweet. Maps from two days before his Alabama warning that show a 5% chance of Alabama getting hit with 40 mph winds.

He's not always overflowing with rationality, but even for him this thing seems like it has completely broken his brain.

Shep Smith wrote:“Why would the president of the United States do this?” Smith said. “He decries fake news that isn’t and disseminates fake news that is. Think China pays the tariffs. The wall is going up. Historic inauguration crowds. Russia probe was a witch hunt. You need an ID to buy cereal. Noise from windmills causes cancer. It’s endless.”


Smith seems to be simply done. Too bad most of the rest of fox news is all in on crazy.

A White House source told CNN on Thursday that Trump personally directed Brown to issue the statement. Brown reports to national security adviser John Bolton but Bolton did not ask Brown to release the statement, the source said.
