Predictable that the Adderall Hoover would go there. "Always accuse your enemies of what you're doing", or whatever it was that is attributed to Goebbels. A little surprising they haven't already gone for this angle, considering they went there when Hillary fainted in 2016.

And predictably, here is his Tweet:

This might actually hurt Trump...how will all the rednecks get drunk on Coors Light and beat their wives if it gets too expensive?

Pelosi v Trump: how a ‘stable genius’ president met his match

Coming on top of the previous day’s goading, in which Trump angrily flounced out of a White House meeting with her after Pelosi had accused him of being “engaged in a coverup”, the House speaker’s call for an intervention appeared to hit its mark.

Trump responded on Thursday by going on what can only be described as a Pelosi rant, at a White House event for farmers and ranchers. He began by showing the nation that he was in full possession of his faculties, contrary to the House speaker’s insinuation, by proclaiming: “I am an extremely stable genius.”

Then he proceeded to counter Pelosi’s claim that he had “flipped out” and had a “tempter tantrum” at Wednesday’s aborted meeting by insisting he had been calm. “I was so calm. I was extremely calm.”

Lest there was any remaining doubt that he was entirely calm in the face of Pelosi’s provocations, he paraded in front of the cameras a long line of White House staffers including his counselor Kellyanne Conway, strategic communications chief Mercedes Schlapp, press secretary Sarah Sanders and others and invited them to provide eye-witness accounts of his calmness.

Conway: “Very calm … you were very calm.”

Sanders: “Very calm.”

Schlapp: “You were very calm.”

“I couldn’t have been more calm,” Trump concluded. In the course of the function Trump had uttered the word “calm” in a preternaturally calm voice to America’s bemused farmers and ranchers no fewer than nine times.

Stable. Effing. Genius. And if you don't believe him just ask his taint-licking lackeys.

Questions about Trump's rallies.

1. Is it just me or do they happen far, far more frequently than with any other POTUS?
2. This is in essence him on the campaign trail. I suppose there's a technicality in them being funded by taxpayers rather than from campaign funds?
3. Why aren't any Dem candidates picking up on his lack of work ethic?

I know that won't matter to his base but to anyone willing to listen this should be a major point of contention.

Um, EVERYONE is about to claim tariff injury to line up for federal subsidy

1. Have rallies like these even occurred in the past? I recall the news of him continuing to essentially campaign being rather unprecedented. It’s not like he’s going somewhere to speak about a specific bill being passed, he just goes around and continues yelling Build the Wall and Lock Her Up.
2. Probably
3. Because it wouldn’t matter anyway. People who think Obama spent his whole time playing golf aren’t going to believe this guy is lazier.

It’s Friday, and the tension between left and right is ramping up again, but I think both sides can take a moment today and appreciate that the Krassenstein brothers have been banned by Twitter.

JUST IN: Nadler: Mueller wants to testify privately https://t.co/mDdmUH1hXX pic.twitter.com/s44OlWyz1r

In private? Worthless...

Sorry I know people love to defend Mueller but if he has something to say the people need to know what it is. Things are teetering and he might be the only person who can connect all the dots for us. Testifying privately means he might as well not testify at all.

This is a bit extreme. My understanding is that all of his testimony would be made public. Get him in there, under oath, to tell what he knows. If you need to call him back later, do so. I'm less interested in a public spectacle at this point and more interested in what criminal charges there are to nail Chump on.

The GrOPers' grandstanding won't be quite as ridiculous if there are no cameras.

But there will be a transcript which means they'll still be pandering to Dump & the Dumpies.

The best way to do this is have him ask to have the entire report read into the testimony as an exhibit. Presto -- it's public. Dump can't stop the House from printing its own document short of a Reichstag Fire. (I know, don't give them any ideas).

Yes that's a good idea. I don't need public hearings until he's already dead in the water politically and then you watch the rats jump off the sinking ship on live TV! While people are doing a lot of Watergate comparisons in terms of timing (it took about a year in a half maybe between the initial story breaking and Tricky Dick's resignation) there's several differences. Dems ran Congress back then from the beginning so they had more leverage to push the investigation, whereas Pelosi and crew just took over in January. Also Nixon wasn't officially croaked politically until the tape was released publically showing him actively directing the cover up. We've yet to get anything like that in this investigation so let's make sure we dot the i's and cross the t's until we do by running a solid inquiry and not a circus.

Draining the swamp.

President Trump has personally and repeatedly urged the head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to award a border wall contract to a North Dakota construction firm whose top executive is a GOP donor and frequent guest on Fox News, according to four administration officials.

In phone calls, White House meetings and conversations aboard Air Force One during the past several months, Trump has aggressively pushed Dickinson, N.D.-based Fisher Industries to Department of Homeland Security leaders and Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite, the commanding general of the Army Corps, according to the administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal discussions. The push for a specific company has alarmed military commanders and DHS officials.
