Good Lord! Now, he's claiming it's "fake news" that he ever said that he'd meet with the Iranians without preconditions (which I thought stupid when he said it). It gets ever more bizarre and we're supposed to pretend all is normal...

Yeah. We're left in a quandry; on the one hand, it wouldn't surprise me if Iran were behind the Saudi attacks, but I can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth. The Intelligence community is likely on serious anti-anxiety meds worrying what the hell this ....... will do next.

ETA: Hey, I thought we were allowed to say "......." now"? :)

You must have gone one toke over the line and called him something more than just an "ass"... :D

The international community is disgusted at how Trump pulled us out of the Iran deal (never mind the Paris climate agreement.) Trump has less than zero credibility on the international stage, at this point, any cooperation from former allies will be tentative and grudging.

How is it possible that Trump is so pigheaded that he's generated international sympathy for Iran? That seems to me to be where we are now.

Can anyone explain how Corey Lewandowski can assert executive privilege when

1. he never worked in the White House, and
2. He stopped working for Trump before Trump was even elected, let along sworn in?

(notices who the AG is)...never mind.

it's easy to "win" when you can just ignore the rules without consequence. the gop has been learning this over the past few decades and finally realized they can just go all in.

Trump’s first comment on Cokie Roberts’ death was “She never treated me nicely”.

Well, he's a self-centered jackass. What kind of remark would you expect. After all, Roy Cohn, himself said of Trump, when asked about Trump's feelings for other people said "He pees ice water"...

There is absolutely no legal precedent for a non-member of the executive branch being able to claim executive privilege for conversations with the president. Remember, it's not the president who's claiming it. It's the Roy Cohn tactic of fight to the last ditch...

Lewandowski needs to be held in contempt of Congress, jailed and fined until he cooperates.
He proved himself to be a completely unethical fool yesterday as did the Republicans on the committee. I must say however, that if the Dems do not have enough power to hold him accountable for such a display before Congress, they appear to me to be completely powerless and only weaken themselves further by allowing such clown shows to proceed in front of the American people

this is a feature and not a bug with the current gop
