There is so much news today that David Waldman and Greg Dworkin extended their discussion to 3 half hour segments just to deliver it to you. Also they were having too much fun to cut it short:

A teacher from Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school wanted to be trained to carry a gun, but first needs to learn not to leave his gun in public restrooms.

Paul Ryan decides to make his exit, with many holding the door, many helping him out the window. Paul leaves nothing of value except his legacy, Donald Trump. The Republicans might just hold their party together if Trump doesn’t run amok, so Donald will be as calm and calculated as Putin and Fox and Friends can make him. 

It’s Trump’s party now. Psychology might help explain the insanity of Trump supporters, but really it’s about race. Republicans can’t even pretend to be “conservative” anymore. Trump wanted rescissions on that $1.3T spending bill that he master negotiated, but that won’t happen.

Michael Cohen also can’t be around for Donald. Of course, the FBI is looking into the usual wire fraud and bank fraud, but also is interested in information regarding the Access Hollywood tape and taxi medallions. Wikileaks started dropping Clinton campaign emails an hour after the Access Hollywood tape news broke. As for taxi medallions, they were the bitcoin of ‘30’s New York, and still handy for hiding money from the authorities.

Steve Bannon’s back and he’ll fix all of this! Unfortunately he’s the same Steve Bannon that got them into all of this. Sean Hannity’s plan is to throw it all on the wall and see what sticks. Inside the Gop plan to discredit Comey.

Now it looks like there might be new Trump kids to make fun of (or not, depending on their age). Trump’s doorman had the dirt, and went to the National Enquirer with his story just like Karen McDougal did, which ended up a bad move in both their cases as the CEO is a big Trump pal.

Mike Pompeo, Trump’s choice to be the next secretary of state should be asked his opinion about the torturing in Yemen during Pompeo’s time at the CIA, and his Chinese business connections.

Scott Pruitt wants to give out commemorative coins celebrating “Scott Pruitt”.
