Trump Tweets
Hard to believe that @FoxNews will be interviewing sleazebag & totally discredited former FBI Director James Comey, & also corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff. Fox is trying sooo hard to be politically correct, and yet they were totally shut out from the failed Dem debates! Both Commiecast MSNBC & Fake News CNN are watching their Ratings TANK. Fredo on CNN is dying. Don’t know why @FoxNews wants to be more like them? They’ll all die together as other outlets take their place. Only pro Trump Fox shows do well. Rest are nothing. How’s Shep doing? |

Nah, he didn't really say "Commiecast" did he? Ok, he did. But he didn't write that. It's too clever and required knowledge he doesn't have.

So Debbie Dingell is now supposed to give Trump some kind of personal loyalty because he approved funeral service honors for her late husband who served as a representative for 59 years? Yeah, you read that right. He was the longest serving Congressman in American history and Trump thinks that approving top memorial and funeral services for him was some kind of magnanimous gesture on his part? This reminds me of when Trump got all huffy because Amanda Knox wouldn't support him for president because he gave some money to her defense fund earlier ...which he probably took out of the Trump Foundation so not even his own money.
This guy thinks everyone owes him. |

His sick mentality, if he does anything for anyone, they owe him. Even when, in the case of whatever he thinks he contributes to state funerals, he really didn't do ****.
And it's pretty clear he doesn't owe anyone that does anything for him. More campaign ads: Trump believes the White House is his personal property. Ad in what Stacy said. |

If the suit to ensure the rolls are purged is brought by a right wing organization, you can be sure that it benefits the GOP.

Not necessarily. The rolls are to be purged of those voters who haven't complied with Wisconsin law.

About 55% went to Democrat-heavy areas - and I'm seeing it said that opponents of the decision had been supporting more time than the hard 30 day limit, but the judge's decision was that the 30 day limit should be enforced to the point that any official that didn't just do it right after the 30 day limit should be punished. Haven't seen any numbers for specific breakdown by party - and I doubt those numbers are available to the public. It would be good if they released the names like Ohio did not too long ago, though, so that those interested could independently verify and likely reduce the usually quite problematic and easily avoidable "errors" quite significantly.
Given that Wisconsin has same day registration that can actually be done at the polling places on election day (still need proof of residence, apparently, though, so there is a rather annoying and unnecessary hoop to jump through for people that weren't expecting to need such), the damage is likely to be nowhere close to as bad as it would be in most other states, so I would suggest not blowing the effect too far out of proportion, while still recognizing the effect. To poke at some other news... Evil Corp is of course, a Russian cyber-crime organization - Trump lifted sanctions on its companies Lavrov visits Trump. Sanctions on 3 companies that were considered connected to one of the major Russian cybercriminals that apparently aided the Russian government with cybercrimes were lifted without explanation. Elsewhere, there's a claim that the given reason is that they just happened to have been been founded by other guys also named Denis Igorevich Gusev. I remain skeptical. Still... Evil Corp as the name chosen for a company that did a heck of a lot of crime? The Trump Presidency certainly has kept bringing us stories that, well, reek of being the storyline of intentionally bad comicbook storylines. Where's Batman when we need him? |

The thing is he has even told the crowd that's exactly what he's doing. At one rally he remarks on the lock her up chant for Hillary. Saying he just tried it, didn't actually believe it, it went over big so he just kept going with it. He tells them that he's just telling them what they want to hear and apparently that is what they want to hear.

Pathetic. Trump will claim it was the biggest rally ever.

Fitting that "women for Trump" seems to involve a lot of men taking the spotlight.

I’ve lost track. Didn’t they bundle some cases together? It seems to me Trump’s lawyer have asked that he be declared immune in more than one jurisdiction. Immune from any subpoena, criminal or civil (while president). In that case it might make sense to look for the common thread and make a broader ruling.
I have no idea, though. If district court judges in both the first and second circuits (for example) have been presented with the same argument I can see the Supreme Court accepting both cases for expedited review. But I don’t know what the mechanics of that would be. Might try to figure it out later. |

Crooked Hillary caught again. She is a total train wreck! Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel Make sure family and friends see IG report: Clinton didn't just invite foreign influence in 2016; she paid for it. Her team funneled Russian dossier lies to the FBI, for her political gain. Americans deserve free and fair elections. If only press would hold her accountable. https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/s...49473091072008 |

Trump Tweets
As bad as the I.G. Report is for the FBI and others, and it is really bad, remember that I.G. Horowitz was appointed by Obama. There was tremendous bias and guilt exposed, so obvious, but Horowitz couldn’t get himself to say it. Big credibility loss. Obama knew everything! So now Comey’s admitting he was wrong. Wow, but he’s only doing so because he got caught red handed. He was actually caught a long time ago. So what are the consequences for his unlawful conduct. Could it be years in jail? Where are the apologies to me and others, Jim? |

They bundled three cases together.
The first involved the New York District Attorney investigating securities and tax fraud. The other two were Congressional subpoenas and none of them require Trump to do a damn thing. The subpoenas are to third parties including his accountants and banks in possession of his financials. Trump's attorneys have been arguing blanket immunity of not only any indictment but of any investigation at any level. It was his attorneys that took Trump's saying that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes to he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not be arrested, charged or even being investigated as POTUS. |

I don't recall it being about "drain the swamp" and it was most likely after the election. As always, I could be wrong and unfortunately I ain't having much luck searching.
ETA: That could have been it, so maybe it was "drain the swamp". However, as you and Trevor Noah note, Trump telling his audience he was just playing them is part of his shtick and the point being made. |

Trump Tweets
The @foxnewPolls, always inaccurate, are heavily weighted toward Dems. So ridiculous - same thing happened in 2016. They got it all wrong. Get a new pollster! Approval Rating in Republican Party = 95%, a Record! Overall Approval Rating = 51%. Think of where I’d be without the never ending, 24 hour a day, phony Witch Hunt, that started 3 years ago! |
