Former Obama administration solicitor general Don Verrilli gave a commencement address this week. His topic was President Trump. He has it exactly right. Months ago, I considered at length members of the conservative legal movement who have, as I put it then, sold their souls for Wales; I would advise those conservatives to take heed of Verrilli's words. www.lawfareblog.com/attacking-our-civic-faith

Rudy has been uneven at best in this role, but let’s be realistic here. Of course he wants a briefing. His client may well stand accused of crimes and he wants to know what they have on him.
He is not entitled to such material at this stage but only a complete fool wouldn’t ask.

Ivanka Trump wins 13 new trademarks from China in the last 3 months, raising questions about conflicts of interest at the White House cbsn.ws/2sgcU0QIt's almost like Xi knows it's all good as long as they throw a little cash at Trump and the fam... China and Russia Push Into Iran, Exploiting Europe’s Caution Companies move to supplant departing European firms worried about running afoul of new U.S. sanctions against Tehran TEHRAN—Chinese and Russian state-backed companies are maneuvering to profit from European firms leaving Iran, threatening the Trump administration’s bid to raise economic pressure on Tehran. Their efforts show how Iran’s business landscape has shifted since the Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear pact, which lifted crippling sanctions on Iran in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program, following 17 months of rising pressure. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has threatened the “strongest set of sanctions in history” if Iran doesn’t rein in its military activities across the Middle East and stop testing long-range missiles. European executives who tried to make inroads in Iran since the Obama administration struck the nuclear deal in 2015 are now concerned Beijing and Moscow will seize an insurmountable advantage in a large, growing market. “What would be not good neither for the U.S., nor for Europe, is if that at the end only Russia and China can do business in Iran,” said Patrick Pouyanné, chief executive of French energy company Total SA, in a speech in Washington after the policy shift this month. www.wsj.com/articles/china-and-russia-push-into-iran-exploiting-europes-caution-1527505200?mod=e2twGenius....

If you saw Trump's tweet yesterday, only a malignant narcissist could attempt to make Memorial Day about himself. What an abhorrent individual. Lying is the foundation of all crimes and follies. —Ulysses S. Grant More than 400,000 Americans now rest at Arlington National Cemetery. All of them served. All of them sacrificed; some falling in combat, others after a lifetime of service. The cemetery sits on a hill looking across the Potomac at the Capitol and the White House. The ghosts of those 400,000 watch over us. They are the sentries of our national soul. And on this particular Memorial Day weekend, we must ask whether what they fought and sacrificed for is in peril. At midnight on a clear night Arlington becomes a cathedral of sorts, the moonlight reflected off endless rows of white marble gravestones flanked by magnificent soaring trees. Ordinary Americans can’t walk among the graves at midnight, but I would like to think that if President Trump were to do so, the multitude of ghosts would have much to say to him. They must surely have a voice. And their simple message is undoubtedly, “Do not destroy what we fought for, and for which many of us died.” www.lawfareblog.com/arlington-midnight-memorial-day-reflections-president-trump

The rumored tape never surfaced, but a former high-ranking TMZ staffer says: “When I look back now, this is possibly something really big that went down here”
Levin “told us he had made a call to Trump’s camp alerting them to the tip,” said a source
The President seems to have a lot of allies in the media who are willing to tip him off or spend money to kill negative stories about him...
Oh, and spread wild conspiracy theories in order to protect him.

I really wish that "Ted Cruz's father killed JFK" picked up more steam. That one had a lot of potential.

You can be fairly certain President Trump won't have any words for or about it either.

In terms of loss of human life, that’s a tragedy deadlier than 9/11, and the study says "many (died) from delayed medical care."

ABC cancels Trump's favorite TV show (other than another sitcom Fox & Friends) after paranoid racist conspiratorial twitter rants from Roseanne Barr. Birds of a feather. . . . I wonder if Fox will pick up the show? One can only hope that Trump's malignant corrupt Administration gets "cancelled" one way or the other. The Trump supporters/enablers/sycophants are no better than their Dear Leader. In what might have been her most offensive missive (though it was a tough contest), she appeared to take aim at former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, identifying her by her initials: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” she wrote, though she later claimed it was “a joke.” After more intense criticism directed to her and ABC, she issued a fuller apology. “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,” she wrote. “I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.” I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste. — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 29, 2018 Barr has tweeted in the past about “Pedogate,” the term for conspiracy theories that accuse people (usually Trump opponents) of being part of a secret ring of pedophiles, and Pizzagate (the most famous of those theories). She also tweeted last year about Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer who was shot in Washington, echoing a conservative theory that his death was covered up by the Clintons. “THE FIX IS IN!” Barr tweeted at the time. www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2018/05/29/roseanne-went-on-a-vitriolic-and-racially-charged-twitter-rampage-now-shes-apologizing/?utm_term=.2f8438df3409

I could have sworn I saw him tweet "thoughts and prayers." Regardless of the politics, it's beyond appalling if true. It's nearly unthinkable. I thought the stories from my friend's folks that were stranded there for a month were bad. This is far worse. With this President, typically the worse the performance/allegation, the better his review. Just like his "best people" that he's hired. I'm sure, if pressed, regardless of the veracity of the study, the President will dismiss it as "fake news" and be on to the next thing.

But, just as you can't be surprised by the tiger attacking Roy Horn, you can't be shocked at Roseanne being Roseanne. ABC knew who they were dealing with. They're probably just ticked that they couldn't ride her gravy train a bit longer. They had to know the wheels would come off sooner or later. This is who she has been for quite a long time. A garbage comedian and a garbage person.

Roseanne was not funny or worthy of comment 25 years ago and she still isn’t.

It was estimated that the death toll from Maria in Puerto Rico is 4,650 — 72 times the official federal government death toll of 65. Now back to feeling sorry for our maybe billionaire President...
