Sen. Alex Padilla: "Trump clearly has one litmus test when selecting people to appoint. It's not experience. It's not dedication to our country or the rule of law. It's whether or not a potential nominee is willing to bend or ignore the law to satisfy the president."

Trump reluctantly confirmed the intelligence saying Iran was only set back a few months, then he quickly pivoted to shaming the media for getting to the truth by calling them "sick" and quoting a pilot, something no one will be able to verify. Trump 101: accuse your enemy of what you are doing.

Trump just said the B-2 pilots called him the other day because they were “devastated by the press.” “Sir, sir…” they said. Bull. Fucking. Shit.
