Every time a member of Trump's Congressional FLACK PACK speaks he not only embarrasses the Congress but makes Boss Trump look even more guilty
Jim Jordan is another member of Trump's FLACK PACK who history won't forget
It's hard being the dimmest FLACK PACK member but Louis Gohmert manages
Calling Mark Meadows the FLACK PACK's brains is like calling Pop Tarts a fruit
As Munchkinland has a Mayor the FLACK PACK has Senator Lindsey Graham
Apologies to the RAT PACK, BRAT PACK, and FRAT PACK but FLACK PACK fits

(1 of 3) But @JoshuaMatz8, in fact 40% of the country is *not* "demanding" impeachment. Pollsters reach out to voters and ask them if they think the facts made public thus far warrant impeachment, which (as a matter of law) they do. So 40% answering "yes" when asked is admirable.
(2 of 3) If 40% of the country were natively—not in response to pollsters—demanding impeachment we'd see nationwide rallies for impeachment and Congresspeople flooded with calls for impeachment. We don't. As for impeachment being political, you're both right and wrong about that.
(3 of 3) Procedurally impeachment is a political process—of course. By anyone who believes in the rule of law and sees Emoluments, Oath of Office, Abuse of Power, Bribery, Obstruction and other high crime/misdemeanor offenses and opposes impeachment *is* damaging our rule of law.

MEDIA, please make these connections:

(1) Cohen met Mueller's team—7 times—for many hours.
(2) Based on cooperation deal, Mueller believes Cohen now.
(3) Cohen says Stone was Trump-WikiLeaks intermediary.
(4) Mueller is charging Stone with crimes.
(5) Russia probe far from over.
(6) If Cohen by *chance* overheard one Trump-Stone call about WikiLeaks, Mueller must believe many such calls actually happened.
(7) Mueller's charging of Stone gives him a chance to squeeze Stone to talk.
(8) If Stone admits to being Trump-WikiLeaks intermediary, it's collusion.
(9) Mueller therefore has *just* initiated a prosecution he credibly believes will lead to collusion.
(10) Media statements that Cohen "threw cold water" on collusion are therefore 180 degrees from the truth.
(Conclusion) Media statements that probe is almost over are also wrong.

So, @KenDilanianNBC with a false statement: "Cohen testified he'd never been to Prague or met with Russians in Europe—refuting a key allegation by a former British intel officer whose dossier sketched out a Trump-Russian conspiracy." Steele had "raw intel" and made 0 allegations.
1/ I keep trying to explain to people how bad reporting leads to bad news. Look at Dilanian's statement; even though Steele made no allegations whatsoever *himself* and told *everyone* his dossier was "raw intel" that was likely partly wrong, Ken is *discrediting Steele falsely*.
2/ As with all bad reporting, it doesn't stop there: @KenDilanianNBC then pole-vaults himself into more bad reporting—writing that "Cohen poured water on the Russia collusion narrative." Fact check: Steele, McClatchy, and others reported *Russians* as saying Cohen was in Prague.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

The Onion sadly nails it with this vox pops on the report that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross stole $120,000,000.

theonion.com/wilbur-ross-ac…
It's about Ross, but it sums up my feelings about Devin Nunes right now. Waaay back when Nunes was speeding off to the White House in the middle of the night to try to tip them off about details of the investigation, there was a period where he was treated as a pariah.
And while Nunes was apparently on the chopping block, other Republicans in Congress were trying to be a lot less... obviously complicit. It was obvious that no one wanted to be seen as the next Nunes.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
