Idk if you think you’re joking or not.

But, I suspect that this is an accurate prediction.

Michael Cohen’s father-in-law is [Fima Shusterman](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/19/father-in-law-of-trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-loaned-millions-to-cab-mogul.html), a naturalized citizen originally from Ukraine who has been mentioned in connection with a couple of investigations but never charged with anything, as far as I’m aware. There are at least some reports that he [did some business directly with Trump](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/a-brief-history-of-michael-cohens-criminal-ties-628875/) though, so I’m not entirely sure if this accusation is pure projection like some of his other statements are.

Isn’t Shusterman involved in the phony taxi medallion case in New York?

Another day, another outburst of explosive Twitterrhea:

> [@Orange Obfuscator](#):

> Never in the history of our Country has the “press” been more dishonest than it is today. Stories that should be good, are bad. Stories that should be bad, are horrible. Many stories, like with the REAL story on Russia, Clinton & the DNC, seldom get reported. Too bad!

> [@Hirer of Only The Best People](#):

> Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years. Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation…

Yes, but not a real one. Membership now requires saying “mmm, yummy! More, please!” after every steaming mouthful of Trumpshit. Make a face, and you’re a RINO.

Yep. (I believe Kristol was a Never-Trumper from the beginning.)

(In other news, thanks to those who answered about the possible meaning of Rancid Clown’s phrasing in re Michael Cohen’s family.)

Yes. But given that what was fair was decided by the FCC, I’m not sure that would really be an improvement now.

Not even that: pleasant for me, unpleasant for me. And anybody who dares point out that his actions are unpleasant for them are unfair losers.

He’s having an absolute Twitterhea attack today. He’s logged six Tweets of utter nonsense in the last couple of hours. Going on about texts between Strozk and “the lovely” Lisa Page (_creepy_) and that the real collusion is that the FBI raided Michael Cohen’s office instead of the DNC’s “to get the server,” and/or “Crooked’s,” … and the best one, that he wants the courts to look into how unfair Saturday Night Live is to him. Why doesn’t he go ahead and just write their cold opening for next week’s show right now - I’m sure their writers would appreciate the break.

Except those children came into the country alone and were only held until they could be placed with relatives or other caretakers. Other than that, yeah, totally the same as indefinitely separating children from their parents.

Okay SNL, here’s what ya do:

Next week’s show opens with a very solemn, somber, administrative type in a dark suit and tie coming out and saying sheepishly that they feel bad that the President thinks they’re being unfair to him. So earlier in the week they contacted DJT himself, and offered him the opportunity to write the cold open. Which he did.

THEN they present a cold open AS IF the President had written it. They imagine DJT’s idea of the right SNL cold open. God, that would be a HOOT to write! The only icky part would be to (in your imagination) crawl inside that vacuous empty space atop thump’s shoulders (inhabited only by a few lonely brain cells being munched on by maggots). But what fun, especially since he has nothing that even resembles a sense of humor. And since whatever cold open thump would come up with would not be funny, there would need to be two very conspicuous individuals with “APPLAUSE” signs on either end of the stage to cue the audience at the appropriate times.

The jokes could cover all of thump’s fave topics: Crooked Hillary’s emails, Obama’s birth certificate, and then maybe a few dark, bitter “jokes” about the hardships that the kids in the detention camps have brought on themselves.

And then, of course, the regular punch line “Live! From New York!” etc.

Oh, please, please, do it.

Perhaps someone talked to him about optics of him taking 16 days at Mar-a-Lago during a government shutdown?

Also, the mostest Presidential use of “Rat” to describe Cohen - channeling Jimmy Cagney or the real mob?
