Its too cold on the roof for me. The heaters dont work. Willful blindness to trumps triumphs and how the fbi and doj can stop the bleeding. Thats the focus of tonight angle. Think about how reporters would handle things under this hypothetical. Hillary clinton, not donald trump, won the presidency in 2016.

Fifth kmcommunications direcr in 15 months. It comes one day after hicks testified before the white house committee. The timing of hicks testimony this week has nothing to do with her resignation. With the exception of the trump family, the president s inner circle is now gone. The reason morale is terrible is because the rule by fear doesnt work in a civilian environment. Take the guns first, go through due process second. Doesnt make sense that i have to wait until im 21 to get a handgun but i...

There is no doubt that the president who has had some rough times in the white house is now facing perhaps his toughest run. The reports coming out of the white house all suggest its a president who is growing increasingly disinterested in his job, increasingly angry. Weve got phil rutger here and well be talking about it in a moment. But willie, none of the portraits are flattering, of course, of the president , but also not comforting to americans and people around the world who understand tha...

Mcconnell vowing tonight that kavanaughs nomination will soon go a full senate vote. Yeah, shannon. You mention that breaking news. The times of northwest indiana is posting a story on its website saying donnelly had said he would vote no on kavanaugh. He now is telling that local newspaper hes going to reserve judgment, see what the fbi says and maybe could get to yes. The president has now ordered the fbi to provide a supplemental background check, which is a big risk. This could open the floo...

Stop sometime on friday when the fbi report is acquiring the charges of at least three accusers, we are told, and trying to get support from corroborative witnesses on either side. That is when we get all of it. Chuck schumer has already indicated he would like a briefing from the fbi to all senators, and then a vote at least 24 hours after that. That does not exactly report, but the republican timetable. With more on this and how its all going down for Brett Kavanaugh come mike emanuel on capit...
