The worst of this Cohen spectacle is the GOP Congress members so eagerly sacrificing the honor of their office and institution to defend Donald Trump. They know what he is.
Cohen is destroying the last shreds of credibility of Trump the man, while Trump is in Vietnam destroying the credibility of the US presidency, dancing to Putin’s tune and flattering a mass-murdering dictator.
Putin likely told Trump he’d get a prize for this humiliating performance with Kim Jong-un, but the Best Picture award goes to the producer, and that’s Putin. And Tom Clancy would never have written so unrealistic a script!
They might find an “honest witness” if Trump ever hired anyone less corrupt than he is! Or is the only truth-teller the man who always surrounded himself with so many liars, crooks and spies?
These Republicans sound like they are auditioning for Cohen’s old job as Trump’s defender and lackey.
Cohen is a crook who lied for Trump and defended Trump for money. It was his job. What is the Republican excuse for doing it? Fear? Power? It's a disgrace.

Trump broke even the laws of physics to debase himself and the presidency in two places at the same time last week. My new column: nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…
"Trump always believes what dictators tell him because he wants the same autocratic standard to apply to him. If it's good, they want all the credit. If it's bad, they knew nothing about it. The buck stops nowhere."
"The GOP isn't angry with Cohen for lying to Congress in 2017 when he was doing it to defend Trump. They're angry that he stopped." nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

One problem with having a joke of a president is that his power is still real and no one wants to believe it.
This sort of reality bending is also typical. The truth is whatever he says *now*, not yesterday or last year. He was joking, or misinterpreted, or just so what? The truth is never knowable. Not his Twitter or his own words.
It also serves as a loyalty test and a way of tying his followers to him. He lies to their faces and watches to see who defends him anyway.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."― Theodore Roosevelt (May 1918 & not when he was president himself!)

@davidfrum @TheAtlantic This has nothing to do with enforcement. The president is claimig the immigrants coming to our country are some kind of ‘liberal plot’ or somehow associated with the Democratic party - this is a lie. Democrats want border enforcement too - we just don’t think a wall makes sense.
@davidfrum @TheAtlantic You of all people should recognize that this entire story is a propaganda piece being used by the President & his alt-reich pals to create a kind of xenophobic fury in order to get more votes for the midterms. There’s a discussion re enforcement but this is a false narrative.
@davidfrum @TheAtlantic The majority of Dem voters are in favor of border enforcement- it’s just not high on the list of priorities given the current state of our country/ politics. Democratic leaders have voted for stronger border enforcement very recently & have been pushing for immigration reforms.

Based on this nbc data you can still find lots of bot/troll accounts twitter missed.
how to:
Search hashtags ON a date.
Search for the actual tweets.
the accounts all "look" the same, low status counts, low follower counts, created at the same tnbcnews.com/tech/social-me…gbquNiCcd2
just using that and a tip from @z3dster gets me 6 accounts to look at.

@MarlonStepherd
@Mich_Heart_Rt
@DannyyyyPayton
@Joe_B_R
@worynynizuzy
@rogyvahumin

those are all troll factory/internet research agency accounts.
so pull the accounts that follow them.
you get all these shady looking accounts with the same stats.
drop the false positives, drop the duplicates. you get about 180 accounts worth looking at.

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
