Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg had a spectacular media meltdown, appearing on multiple cable networks to dare the feds to arrest him and declare that Trump likely engaged in misconduct during the election.

Blah, blah, blah. We already knew this. Blah, blah, blah… Oh, wait… What’s this?
Melania Trump’s ability to secure her green card not only set her on the path to U.S. citizenship, but put her in the position to sponsor the legal residency of her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs. The Washington Post reported earlier this month that the couple are now close to obtaining their own citizenship.

Teacher in custody after shot fired at North Georgia high school
Yeah, and tell me again how the solution to gun violence to have teachers carrying guns around our nation’s children?!
It’s tough to believe nobody was asking questions about why Porter hadn’t received a full security clearance.
…It’s also really, really hard to understand why the White House didn’t check to make doubly sure that their initial statements about Porter wouldn’t come back to bite them — especially on an issue as sensitive as domestic abuse.
Incompetence, pure and simple.
George W. Bush: ‘Clear evidence Russians meddled’ in election
I saw this posted somewhere by some tool along with a rant about establishment politicians and how they betray their own party. I’m guessing by establishment politicians they meant politicians telling them something they don’t want to hear….

7-year-old boy handcuffed in Florida school after allegedly attacking teacher – ABC News
1.) If an adult wants to press charges against a 7 year old child they do not have the cognitive ability necessary to function as an adult.
2.) If an adult cannot control a 7 year old child they should not be in a position where they are charged with the care of children.
3.) If an officer of the law thinks it is appropriate to handcuff and arrest a seven year old, they should surrender their badge and gun immediately because their poor judgement is a danger to the community they are employed to serve and protect.
Period.
The vote comes on the heels of the unilateral release of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s interview with Simpson by ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). House Intel Democrats have since been pushing for the release of the transcript of their interview, which took place behind closed doors in November.
…The president’s allies argued that Simpson’s Judiciary testimony did nothing to undercut their core claim that the FBI had used the dossier to investigate Trump and possibly to secure a FISA warrant to spy on Trump officials during the campaign and transition.
Democrats responded by declaring that Simpson’s testimony bolstered allegations in the dossier and Steele’s credibility.

After this presidency has mercifully come to an end, I foresee the release of a comic book anti-hero movie, “The Incompetents.”
It’s important not to get carried away, if only because a scenario in which the Russian investigation ensnares the N.R.A., probably the most influential conservative group in the United States, seems a bit too much like Resistance fan fiction, too delicious to be true. Indeed, if it is true, it has devastating implications for the entire Republican Party, since many officeholders enjoy lavish financial support from the N.R.A. Still, an N.R.A. role in Russiagate would explain a few things, including why the N.R.A. has, in recent years, developed such a close relationship with Russia.

Shortly after firing FBI Director James Comey, President Donald Trump brought then-acting Director Andrew McCabe to the White House for a meeting. He had a very important question for McCabe: Who did you vote for in the 2016 election?
…Trump also grilled McCabe on donations his wife, who was a candidate for state Senate, accepted from a political group affiliated with then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime ally of the Clintons.
…Federal workers actually take an oath. The words “President” and “Trump” are not mentioned. The pledge is to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital …led to protests aimed at halting Palestinian NGOs’ participation in US-funded programmes ranging from clean water deliveries to support for law students, according to officials on both sides.
There have been protests, refusals to meet with US project managers and a rash of requests by groups backed by aid money to seek waivers to remove US-linked branding – including the US flag – from their promotional materials.
