He then led off his show with an apology for OUR misunderstanding of HIS defense of Roy Moore diddling kids. Seriously.
Breitbart is clinging to Moore's nuts so hard they might as well be his third testicle, insisting they know he couldn't have molested a 14-year-old girl because WaPo is "fake news," or whatever.

The "dirt" on Hillary Clinton that Little Donnie tried to get from that Russian lawyer lady was apparently obtained by Fusion GPS, the same firm that producedTHE DOSSIER, that would have exposed -- wait for it -- rich donors. LOL WAT, if true.
The mystery woman who tried to trap George Papadopoulos in a honey pot, claimed to be Putin's niece, and tried to set up a meeting between Trump and the Kremlin has been ID'd as Olga Vinogradova (assuming, of course, that's her real name).
The Senate released its version of the Trump tax cuts (for the super rich), but there's a couple problems that are pissing off Trump, Paul Ryan, and the House Freedom crazies, like not repealing health care, and limitingthe damage of all the poor-fucking corporate tax cuts.

A Michigan state rep. and Betsy DeVos minion nominated by Trump for a top spot at the Department of Education has been yanked after someone "LEAKED" his oldpublicblog posts that outlined his hatred of Muslims, college women, preschool and Head Start. Who the hell hates preschool? (They do. For "reasons.")

Clearly dodging doctors' orders not to walk on his bone spurs, Trump bitched in Vietnam about trade, and all the countries violating trade deals with the US -- and he would know all about violating agreements.
Saudi Arabia is telling telling its citizens to GTFO of Lebanon, and there's rumors that the Lebanese premiere has been kidnapped by the Saudis. WHOA, if true.
Snub-nosed Reaganites are bemoaning the loss of civility in politics after Tuesday, with a snot-nosed Scarborough sobbing in WaPo about the good old days (again).
