    He’s perfect. Roy Moore. Sheriff Joe. Sheriff Clarke. These are the Donald Trump apostles.

    Well, I think he's defining "clean bill" in his own way.

    He's calling a bill that deals with DACA and border security a "clean bill", which obviously isn't how we'd normally speak of a "clean bill" and isn't what Feinstein suggested.

    But, in truth, it's not as "dirty" as some bills are. No one's suggesting we defund Planned Parenthood in the DACA bill, or do something unrelated to immigration reform.

    I think he's saying that the Dems have to give something to get DACA. Maybe not everything, but something. And, he wants a commitment for further action on a wall and other immigration priorities

    Now, I don't think Kevin McCarthy and the other republicans are going to give in on DACA without getting a lot back in return on immigration, but we'll see. The idea that the Dems will give anything else on immigration once they get DACA is ridiculous. If Dems are going to give, it will be to get DACA done.

    We’ll see ... as Francis I might put it, I should be very happy to see the clause in Adam’s will that delineates when partisan jockeying crosses over into unconstitutionally “too much” territory.

    Obama released his birth certificate in 2008, three years before Trump even started talking about it. Obama humored him and cranks everywhere by getting Hawaii to give him a copy of the long form even though it was totally unnecessary. Trump continued to entertain the idea that it might be forged, even though Hawaii, the only legal authority to say that it is, has repeatedly vouched for the accuracy of the information on it.
    Joe Arpaio thinks it's forged and spent taxpayer money on investigating it even though a county sheriff in Arizona has no legal authority to investigate a document that Hawaii issued.

    Even Yankee Fan, as best I can tell, doesn't think there's any there there. If you think anything in that video is wrong or unresolved, please let me know.

    Last time I checked the Russian investigation wasn't over and US intelligence agencies agreed there was Russian meddling.

    Sadly, millions of people listen to that talk show host. One of them is the President, who has said "Your reputation is amazing."
    Sean Hannity has pushed the Seth Rich was murdered nonsense and sadly, when Hannity talks, people listen.

    Oddly enough, just finished this article from the New Yorker about Bannon's Hollywood years. I can understand why he and Trump were kindred spirits, they're both hucksters. He's seemed to have a talent to make money off of others people's efforts. I don't know where an anti-Establishment GOPer who has been banished by Trumpers winds up, though he could be on the look out for the next anti-establishment GOP darling, like a boy band manager who gets dumped after taking a group to the big time.

    Bannon has a kajillion dollars, a lot of time now on his hands and no reason not to write a book of his own.
    Mueller needs to ask Steve to come in for a chat, he's at the peak of his anger.

    His criminal defense lawyer is probably a little more clear headed and dispassionate.

    I can't believe I'm defending a sack of crap like Bannon ... but what crimes did he commit?
    A little candor is admirable in this administration of lies and deceit.
