Donnie isn't listening to someone important.

Normally not a huge problem and/or would draw a "no poo poo".

Except, that person is White House Counsel :v:

https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/868533597275385861

Ivanka and Jared also tried to use said White House Counsel for themselves. They were promptly told to get hosed and it leaked out, forcing them to use a private attorney.

Also some talk about Priebus exiting the White House to serve as Ambassador to Greece as a consolation prize.

Congressional Republicans thought they were done with this bullshit. Whoops!

You guys are just pulling the lone wolf excuse. If he was any other color or ethnicity, there'd be nothing but talk of cultural stigma.

As a white person, I must thoroughly apologize for the Portland man's actions and it is really upon other white people to also denounce this behavior and make sure this horrible tragedy never happens again. It is entirely incumbent on my fellow white people to further denounce this chaos, misery, and death that seems to constantly trail us, especially for political purposes, when we could instead use our collective voices and actions for peace. The actions of this one man do not reflect the views of other white people and we are sickened and forever changed. The families of the slaughtered men will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Has there been any indication of when we might be seeing Comey's testimony?

More news during the week on that probably. Comey still needs to talk to Mueller and Senate Intel needs to set a firm date, which hasn't been announced yet.

If the testimony gets cancelled, it's likely because Mueller thinks Comey has something really juicy. If the testimony proceeds, it might not be that criminally damning, but we'd get a very good day of TV out of the testimony.

Didn't Mueller already ask him to cancel once?

Comey cancelled on Chaffetz's House Oversight Committee because of the timing (supposed to be last Wednesday). Comey couldn't meet with Mueller before last wednesday, so Comey cancelled/declined Chaffetz's invite. That's part of the reason why Senate Intel didn't set a firm date a few weeks ago.

Here's some late night porn.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/trumps-washington-congress/528426/

quote:

But for the most part, his party has not openly turned on Trump. What would be the point? Behind closed doors, a longtime House Republican staffer told me, a few lawmakers still wholeheartedly defend the president; among the rest, there are differing degrees of fatalism. One group thinks it is possible to fight through the crisis, while another is resigned to “a long slow death,” as this staffer put it, potentially culminating in a Democratic-controlled House beginning impeachment proceedings in 2019. “This is like Reservoir Dogs,” the staffer said. “Everyone ends up dead on the floor.”

In the White House, the mood consists of “panic and finger pointing,” one outside adviser told me, with shakeup rumors rampant and the palace intrigue as ugly and chaotic as it has been from the start.


Trump spent last week out of town, on his first foreign trip, where he had tense interactions with such traditional American allies as Israel, the United Kingdom, and Germany. With the president away, life on Capitol Hill was markedly quieter. More than one Republican privately noted how much easier life was without him around. But, of course, he will be back.

Washington’s turbulence has yet to redound to the benefit of Democrats, and the Montana victory soothed some Republican nerves. But one GOP lobbyist wondered to me whether longtime members of Congress might soon take the opportunity to retire if the situation doesn’t improve. “You finally have united Republican government, and this is as good as it gets? Why bother?” he said. “A malaise is setting in.”
