USA Today/Suffolk U poll on Trump approval and impeachment

Impeachment won’t work – we need indictments (after Trump leaves office, if necessary) if Trump is guilty.

Divided nation: Americans split 44%-47% in new @USATODAY @Suffolk_U poll on whether House should consider impeaching President Trump. https://t.co/tqpjqymhXO pic.twitter.com/cQAVh6RQ2x

Trump, Jr.’s misguided tweet on growth

The Trump cult is so quick to pretend Obama did nothing.

no expert said a quarter of 4.2% growth "couldn't be done."

it was done in four different quarters under President Obama, with one difference

growth in those four quarters was higher – 4.5%, 4.7%, 4.9%, 5.1% https://t.co/FsSDNrLroy

Trump judges – Democrats must take some of the blame

Opinion: Diamonds are forever. Federal judges are the next-best thing. https://t.co/XZrRI63I0J

— Washington Post (@washingtonpost) August 29, 2018

from the article:

“As of Monday, when the White House announced its “seventeenth wave of judicial nominations” — picture Marines storming a beach — President Trump has nominated two Supreme Court justices, 36 court of appeals judges and 99 district judges.
That’s 137 judges in roughly 19 months on the job. If he maintains this pace, Trump could replace more than 30 percent of all active judges by the end of his first term.”

Trump lie about Clinton servers

Lies, lies, lies

An FBI official to NBC News today: “The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised." https://t.co/y03npnoFQS

Trump tweeted this morning that China hacked Hillary Clinton's emails and the FBI needed to investigate. The FBI issues the following statement this afternoon: “The FBI has not found any evidence the servers were compromised.” https://t.co/M7BAZqioXr

President Trump appeared to cite a report from the conservative Daily Caller website that claims China was behind a hack of Hillary Clinton's private email server. https://t.co/zPJbEQT9M2

That story about China hacking Clinton's emails was based on … wait for it … anonymous sources: https://t.co/isMCT1BTs1 https://t.co/9bbX6MqUSn

Trump wrote this eight hours after tweeting about a Daily Caller story on Chinese hacking of Clinton's server based on anonymous sources and two hours before confirming a report about Don McGahn's leaving first reported by Axios based on anonymous sources https://t.co/zQg019TH8X

The FBI just called out Trump's lie, so it's not classified info he's seeing from our side. Which means the even MORE disturbing possibility is that he is getting this (dis)information from his friend Pooty on their secret conversations on his Russian bat phone. https://t.co/ANi5wGnHf7

Trump tweeted about McGahn’s departure without telling him

Trump sounds like a terrible boss.

Trump gave McGahn no heads up before tweeting that he would be out this fall, according to someone who has spoken to McGahn. They had been discussing his plan to leave sometime post-Kavanagh confirmation but McGahn was blindsided (tho not surprised) by the announcement.

Me: "What do you think of the news?"
Longtime white collar lawyer: "What news?"
Me: "McGahn being out as White House counsel."
Lawyer: "How do you know that?"
Me: "Trump tweeted it."
Lawyer: "I need to get on Twitter."

Great news. The tariff had been very harmful for the newspaper industry.

61% say respectful political debate is important

Good luck with that in the Trump era!

Obviously, it’s not that important since Trump was elected and no politician is less civil.

A majority of Americans (61%) say it is very important that the tone of debate among political leaders is respectful. https://t.co/6LxJD2WgjU pic.twitter.com/WLu5pYrVcH
