1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Trump says the legal services he’s gotten cowardly law firms to pledge are his to use as he pleases, even when he’s out of office. This means he’s used government coercion to attain a personal benefit worth millions. It’s utterly corrupt and probably illegal.

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations: Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines. Milbank can challenge clean air rules. Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water. Skadden is perfect to break the unions. Shameful all.

the problem w/ the segment is not that it makes trump look good, which I gather ppl on the left are annoyed about — it's that executive orders are only one output of a presidency and it's not clear that this is the best measure of an admin's impact. if anything, EOs might be a negative indicator

60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.” www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
