Anyway, from all reports I’ve read today, should Mueller be fired, the investigation of Cohen by the US attorney for the southern district of New York will continue. Can open, worms everywhere.
Tomorrow’s Presidential Tweetstorm (and you know there’s going to be one) should be interesting.
May they go to the hell they want for us. That book the keep beating on says they are fucked.
Matthew 7:21-33 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
1 John 4:20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
Mark 7:8 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Luke 20:46-47 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
Romans 2:1-5 1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
Timothy 3:1-5 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Reinhardt died this week. Jeff Greenfield recently said on PBS Newshour that Reinhardt was apparently one of the most liberal judges in the country, and his position, along with seven other from that court, are part of the 100 federal vacancies that McConnell is sooooo chomping on the bit to fill, like, A.S.A.F’N.P., that he’ll flout a long-standing tradition in the Senate that a home senator can block a federal judge from his or her state along with the spectre of President Dumb chomping on his bit for Ginsburg and Kennedy to somehow disappear, which would enable President Gulag to reshape the Court in what Greenfield calls what would be by far the most consequential political action The Orange Bum will have taken so far.
(The Nuclear Tax Cut was nothing to sneeze at either, IMO.) (well, maybe in a sneezing-in-Donald’s-face-in-hopes-he-somehow-contracts-gonorrhea,-scabies,-colitis,-face-crabs-(whatever-the-hell-those-are)-dengue-mumps kinda way.)
Cool that Ginsburg hired on clerks through 2020, letting Trump know she’ll outlast him.
Larry Kudlow: “Of course he can compartmentalize. I’m going to bet you he holds his regular schedule today. … I’ll be traveling with him with a group going to Latin America … I don’t think it’s going to stop him.”
Shortly after Trump cancels his trip to Latin America. So much for compartmentalization. I think Trump is going to put a picture of Rod Rosenstein’s face on a punching bag in the White House gym and spend the day punching it since Rosenstein personally approved the F.B.I. raid on Cohen.
