If the Mercer's are paying, I hope all the lawyers make billable mountains out of molehills.

The planet Earth won't survive 7.5 years under tRump. Once he follows through on his posturing at "Rocket Man", he'll be pushing that big red button anytime some other country looks at him funny. Or Faux news tells him they have.

They're desperately trying to keep him in office long enough to get the tax cut they were promised.

Folks, about the scum who owns Home Despot: I worked on contract for about six months, years back, at their main competitor, Lowe's, and it was well known that (main hq) that Lowe's got started because the founder of HD had a really, *really* nasty divorce... and his ex took the money from the settlement, and started Lowe's.

So you may want to shop there, if you can.

You know, I was just wondering if Lowe's is preferable for all my overpriced hardware and houseplant needs. Thanks for clearing that up!

Hmmmmmm, it appears Lowes began as a company in 1946. Home Depot, 1978. It might be my West Virginia Math but Lowes predates HD by 30 some years.

WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials.

Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved “great pressure” on him.
