A Lone Holdout Juror Actually Made It More Likely That Paul Manafort Will Go to Jail Even if Trump Pardons Him - Slate

Here   Well, there's that. Mr. Trump. And pardoning him is going to make you look so incredibly and indelibly bad. And then, he'll still probably go to jail for a very long time. So, there's that. A lifetime of corrupt decisions catches up to people oftentimes.

"A reckoning could be coming for Trump"

Here   "There's also little doubt that Tuesday's legal stunners, and the news that White House Counsel Donald McGahn testified to Mueller for 30 hours, have seeded new dark clouds around the President that could manifest themselves in ways impossible to predict right now."

"I believe in the wisdom and the good faith of the American people," Norm Eisen, White House ethics czar during the Obama administration, said on CNN International.

"Let's let it unfold. He is going to meet his day of reckoning."

John McCain halts treatment for brain cancer, family says

Here  I've always thought John McCain is a decent man, and particularly for a modern-day Republican. He thought torture was wrong, and tried to protect the environment with Lieberman. When the GOP demanded that their people get behind torture and to endlessly destroy our environment for fossil fuel profits. For that, and staying true to himself, and against the stain that is our current "President" and "administration," I'll say a heartfelt thank you John McCain. And again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

In July, he excoriated Trump for his cozy summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, blasting the encounter as "one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory."

 

"The damage inflicted by President Trump's naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake," he said in a statement.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. - Theodore Roosevelt

Here   Below speaks for itself. Congrats again, Donald Trump. And head's up.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.

— Teddy Roosevelt, The Kansas City Star, 7 May 1918

Former intelligence leaders: Trump attempting to 'stifle free speech' by revoking Brennan's clearance

Here "(CNN)Over a dozen former senior intelligence officials -- a group that includes officials who served under both Democratic and Republican presidents -- are denouncing President Donald Trump's decision to revoke former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance as "ill-considered" and "unprecedented."

With the exception of Brennan -- and excluding those who served under Trump -- every CIA director since George Tenet, who took over the agency in 1996, signed the letter."

 

Doing great Donald Trump. Cementing yourself as the most dishonorable shill to ever hold high office in the US. What a fool, and what a corrupt fool.

And Meanwhile "Trump spending his days watching, bragging about his own taped rallies"

Here  See below. Meanwhile... "Trump [is] spending his days watching, bragging about his own taped rallies."

History will howl with laughter at this imbecile and corrupted plant we had occupying the White House. In the meantime the joke is on us.

"If anything, his staff is probably grateful he spends so much time parked in front of the TV-mirror, because it means there's less time for him to foul up his day job."

Trump Doesn't Believe in Man-Made Climate Change: Europe is Sizzling

Here "PARIS — In Northern Europe, this summer feels like a modern-day version of the biblical plagues. Cows are dying of thirst in Switzerland, fires are gobbling up timber in Sweden, the majestic Dachstein glacier is melting in Austria.

In London, stores are running out of fans and air-conditioners. In Greenland, an iceberg may break off a piece so large that it could trigger a tsunami that destroys settlements on shore. Last week, Sweden’s highest peak, Kebnekaise mountain, no longer was in first place after its glacier tip melted.

Southern Europe is even hotter. Temperatures in Spain and Portugal are expected to reach 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend. On Saturday, several places in Portugal experienced record highs, and over the past week, two people have died in Spain from the high temperatures, and a third in Portugal.

But in the northernmost latitudes, where the climate is warming faster than the global average, temperatures have been the most extreme, according to a study by researchers at Oxford University and the World Weather Attribution network."

Great job Mr. "President". Keep supporting the fossil fuel barons and cement your legacy as the biggest fool and grifter to ever hold high office in the United States. To TRUMP is destined to be synonymous with FAIL.
