When she said Huckabee Sanders lies, for a living.

Since the inauguration, they've been teetering on the brink. This is now news for Mika. Wow!

Keep it up, Mika. Pretty soon, you'll be reeling in disorientation when you get around to this week's news. But that may be next August.

day, Eyeball. We have a great deal more evidence of Russian collusion, of Trump's refusal to do anything to counter Russian interference, and of his administration's many ties to Russia. We knew Trump was nuts, a liar, and a con, but we had little evidence of the Russian affair at the time.

who knew then that the rethuglicans in congress in their entirety would be supine in the face of it all? THAT'S the truly stupefying reality of this dire, dire situation.

For good or bad, for better or worse, the President as the chief executive sets the chief example. Lying, leaking, blaming - the subordinates are all copying the president's example. This whole phenomenon of "monkey see, monkey do" is just another great proof of Darwin's theory of evolution, and that we humans as the naked apes are descended from monkeys and other primates. The Trump white house might just sink itself and drown in a big swamp of incompetence and corruption.
