I told you all *before* the election that Trump was completely obsessed with revenge: (link: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/donald-trump-obsessed-with-revenge/) motherjones.com/politics/2016/...

Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on a

John McCain

@SenJohnMcCain

Special Counsel Mueller has served our country with honesty and integrity. It's critical he be allowed to complete a thorough investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election — unimpeded.

Once you realize that "deep state" is code for "the rule of law," you can translate their jibberish into something more like English

John Harwood

@JohnJHarwood

Roger Stone on Trump today: "I see replay of Watergate where Deep State trying to take down President they couldn't beat at ballot box"

Bill Kristol

@BillKristol

To Republicans who have carefully kept your powder dry, who have studiously maintained access to Trump and credibility with Trump supporters: You're not being asked to do much. Just step up and say, "Mr. President: Respect the rule of law.

@tribelaw

It's Congress that needs to rein in this unhinged autocrat, but Congress has been essentially useless. The Framers anticipated a renegade president but not a totally dysfunctional Congress.

There is more to this firing than meets the eye.

Dont be surprised if major dirty laundry has been uncovered on McCabe and others involved in the Hillary investigation.

The Office of the Inspector General which rolls up under the DOJ and it was their investigation that led to the firing

It looks more like Trump was testing the water to see how the GOP would react if Mueller was sacked

Many requests were mundane. "He doesn't write anything down," one source close to the White House told me. "He doesn't type, he dictates. 'Take this down, take this down: Trump: richest man on Earth.' " A second source who meets regularly with the president told me that Hicks acted almost as an embodiment of the faculties the Trump lacked — like memory. "He'll be talking, and then right in the middle he'll be like, 'Hope, what was that ... thing?' " When the name of a senator or congressman or journalist came up, Trump would prompt Hicks to provide a history of their interactions, asking, "Do we like him?" "And she f**king remembers!" (Trump has said his own memory is "one of the greatest memories of all time.") "She's the only person he trusts," the second source continued. "He doesn't trust any men and never has. He doesn't like men, you see. He has no male friends. I was just with one of them the other day, someone who's described as one of his closest friends, and he doesn't know him very well. But a small number of women, including his longtime assistant back in New York, he really listens to them — especially if he's not banging them. Because, like a lot of men but more so, Trump really does compartmentalize the sex and the emotional part."

Just saw this tweet from The Donald, Christ.......

@realDonaldTrump

Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn't know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don't threaten people Joe!

Both books raise money for charity and both have troll reviews. The US is polarised.

Donald Trump isn't subtle. He isn't strategic. He needs to be told in vivid, sharp, clear words, "If you do this, you're going to be impeached, dragged hard, humiliated, investigated, have your taxes made public, pictures of your junk on poster boards as we discuss porn star payoffs on the Senate floor." He needs to hear it loud and clear; "We know you've already wrecked our chances of holding the majority, but we're not letting you drag the country down with us."

For over a year, I have warned members of House and the Senate that Trump's erratic behavior, shitbird affect, Putin-philia, moronic economic beliefs, hair-trigger temper, evident political disloyalty, and grunting, reckless dick-swinging bravado would rebound on them, and hard. The things Trump does please a narrow base repel everyone else. Trump voters are loyal to Trump, not to the GOP and certainly not to its members. Other Republicans take all the damage and reap none of the benefits.

In race after race, we've seen the future, and for Republicans, it's dark. I've warned Republicans before he is driving an electoral and demographic wedge in American politics we can't easily overcome, and imposing on the party a suite of problems no amount of money or Democratic Party campaign incompetence will solve.

Oliver picked a fight that was completely unnecessary....everything is now politicized by both sides
