Somebody should tell him that the Washington municipal government is controlled by _Congress_. They get final say in what goes on. ---

How about a Million-Man (And Woman) March of people carrying Trump-Baby balloons down Pennsylvania Avenue, on a day Trump has to be there? No need to do it as counter-programming to Trump’s now-cancelled ego-parade. Man, that would be sweet. The entire world would enjoy it!\* \*(With the exception, possibly, of many in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Israel–modern life’s strangest bedfellows.) ---

> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > A flurry of new pronouncements from the throne: Three comments: 1. Interesting choice of words, calling John Dean a “RAT”. Although a little hard to parse (is Trump saying the NYT considered Dean a rat? That can’t be right), it sounds like Trump believes that revealing Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate scandal was a bigger crime than the scandal itself. 2. Members of the media called you up to “complain and apologize”? Yeah, right, maybe your good buddy Hannity. Anyone else? 3. You’re trying to claim that Mueller is the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy? Are you fucking kidding me? ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > 1. You’re trying to claim that Mueller is the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy? Are you fucking kidding me? I think this has been a talking point for quite some time, since both involve Russia and both were called out as witch hunts. Of course there is a nothing similar about investigating actual documented foreign influence of elections, vs destroying ordinary peoples lives based on their belonging to the wrong political party 30 years ago. ---
