REPORTER: Speaker Ryan, you said the Nunes memo had nothing to do with Mueller probe.

RYAN: Right.

REPORTER: But Trump said the memo is 'complete vindication' for him. Why would the president say that if they are in fact unrelated?

RYAN: Look, let's change the topic.
Paul Ryan was asked to defend his comments about the Nunes memo. It was a disaster. thinkprogress.org/paul-ryan-was-…

TRUMP: "They drive, they just go where there's no security, fencing or walls of any kind, they just make a left into US & they come in and they have women tied up, they have tape over their mouths, electrical tape. Powerful stuff. Not good."

Fox News quickly cuts away.
TRUMP: "We're gonna build a powerful steel barrier. They didn't want to use concrete. I said OK I'll use steel. It's stronger. It's also more expensive by the way. Now people should be happy. I like it better if you want to know truth, & we'll call it a barrier instead of a wall"
People chuckle at Trump after he claims, "They say a wall is medieval. We'll so is a wheel. A wheel is older than a wall."

Trump continues: "There are some things that work. You know what? A wheel works and a wall works. Nothing like a wall."

TRUMP: "I don't think we have ever seen unity like this in the Republican Party. The media, which I call the opposition party, in coordination with the Democrats, they are not talking about the Democrats folding... I don't think there will be any break away [among Republicans]."
TRUMP: "I'm a professional at technology."
TRUMP: "When during the campaign I would say Mexico is going to pay for [the wall], obviously I never meant they are going to write out a check. I said they are are going to pay for it. They are. They are paying for it w/the incredible [unapproved] deal we made called the USMCA."

TRUMP: "We are having some very good times in our country. We are doing very well, except for the border... Something will happen [to end the shutdown], I hope. Otherwise, we will go about in a different manner. I don't think we will have to do, but you never know."
Trump offer gore porn: "Human trafficking. It really hits a nerve, talking about, in many cases, women & children grabbed, thrown into backseat of a car or thrown into a van, w/no windows, no form of air. Tape put across their mouths, and they are brought across the border."
TRUMP: "Human trafficking cannot be stopped if we don't have a steel barrier or a concrete wall, something very powerful. It cannot be stopped...It doesn't mean a thing if they're going to be driving women & children through sections of border where nobody is, where you can't be"

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Trump: “There was no talking to Russia. There was no phone calls. I didn’t make phone calls to Russia. I didn’t receive phone calls. I didn’t have meetings. I didn’t have texts. Anything. I have nothing to do with Russia.” #mueller tinyurl.com/yahwud9s
2/ It’s very telling that this is the way Trump thinks collusion has to work to be collusion. But no one in his or her right mind has ever supposed that the collusion would be that ham-fisted. #mueller
3/ It’s not as though Mueller is trying to find an email that says: “I hereby commit myself to lifting sanctions if and when elected, if you, Vladimir Putin, agree to help my campaign by hacking and disseminating Hillary’s emails.” --(signed) Donald J. Trump.

(Long Ass Thread)The past few days have been a rollercoaster. The @DevinNunes memo, McCabe forced out of the @FBI and @SpeakerRyan calling for a “cleanse” of the FBI. This is the beginning of a new Night of the Long Knives, although instead of executions it is political
assassination. Make no mistake(and I truly hope I am wrong about all this) this is the latest in a long string of actions by @realDonaldTrump and the @GOP to hold onto power, if they can control all three branches they have almost absolute power which is what they want.
.@realDonaldTrump from the beginning of and even since before his presidency has demonstrated a willingness to do anything to gain the adoration of people and gain power, he even called on an adversarial foreign power to help him get dirt on his political opponent and had his son
