In any sane America, the militarization of space, aka star wars, would be a huge ****ing deal, and it would be getting a lot of press coverage and public outrage. Not with this comrade in office. ****ing insane.

I have nothing to say on this topic that probably hasn't been said by better posters than me in a far more articulate way, but who is the audience for that Ezra Klein video? I picture him having this image of some stereotypical Trump supporter watching his videos and seeing him as some sort of fellow traveler and it just seems so laughable.

The audience is his bud Paul Ryan and Congressional Republicans. These sensible wonks need Ezra to put Don Jr.'s "I love collusion" email in proper context so they can understand it's actually bad.

I don't think he readlly cares about his image at this point. He is obviously content with what CNN is paying him. He seem to be on auto pilot. At least Conway is trying.
Strangley, it would seem Conway is the only person with Trump's inner circle who is free from the russian taint. Credit to her.

LOL @ the notion that Conway isn't tainted. Her association with this administration automatically does so.

FWIW CNN has stepped up their use of Trump surrogates in the last 2 days. They had double the 1 on 1s than they normally have and I actually saw a 2 on 2 panel twice which I never saw before.

The CNN regulars also normalized the idiots quite a bit. It was noticeable though. I'll keep an eye on it.

I wish she would just blow Trump in the Oval Office so we can finally impeach him.

Trump is currently spamming Twitter about healthcare the way I spam this thread: 4 posts in a row over the last 45 minutes at 4am Eastern. (to be fair, he's in France)

Morning Joe just reported that the Fredo/Jared/Manafort/Natalia meeting had a 5th person in the room with ties to Moscow, a (possibly unknown, or former?) Russian military intelligence officer or something.

Looks like Jared needs to update his form again to add a 101st person to it.

The French celebrate it on the 14th, because of the metric system.

BTW, every news organization should obviously follow the NYT and leave out an important detail or two to watch the administration squirm and battle each other over what lies to tell and what else might be known and what to say under oath!

What can they possibly do, tell the public they're going to refrain from commenting until the whole story is revealed to them? LMAO awesome.

JFC they're trying to play their own gambit against the media now. Jr's attorney got back to NBC to say there may have been a 6th person on the room...but he said he's not sure. This misinformation game won't end well for them.

Only Putin can play the game correctly. And his next move will most likely be criminalizing Mueller.

EDIT: My assessment of the lawyer's strategy may be off base. A few blue checkmarks have been saying they think it's been exposed. I do wonder though, is Jr telling his lawyer the whole story?

Trump sits there with a look on his face like his eldest son just got caught committing treason or something.

Russian government Twitter account straight up threatened Trump to give back those compounds in a timely manner not too long ago.

Media legal question: Over the last few weeks pundits have daily been urging everyone around Trump to just get it all out because that is what's best for them. Obviously it's not. They keep lying and covering up because they CAN'T get it all out. I know the media isn't that dumb or that naive. Are they just not allowed to say it?

Damn, news is FLYING around today. And we still have a full Friday of events left to go, including Trumpcare, Dem meeting about Republicans and Russia, a House Intel hearing...wow.

The suicide may be more suspicious than we thought.

^^^ That's the Trump campaign's digital director, who is under suspicion by investigators for possibly showing Russia where to target the right voters, especially in the rust belt areas like Michigan, Wisconsin, etc.
