CNN said:(CNN)President Donald Trump's longtime personal aide John McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes, a source familiar with his firing told CNN.
....
Minutes after news of his departure broke, the Trump campaign announced McEntee would be joining the reelection effort as a senior adviser for campaign operations.
Oi! What was Tillerson there for then? SoS's aren't supposed to be disposable.CNN said:Trump "thought it was the right time for the transition with the upcoming North Korea talks and various trade negotiations," a senior administration official said, adding that Trump asked Tillerson to step aside on Friday.
Nikki Halley, Linda McMahon, and then a bunch of family. How yuge of Trump.
Just as the US capital was about to be convulsed by the departure of yet another senior figure in the Trump administration, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop took a phone call.
At least we have our corps values intact...
Incredible climbers? Does he think that mountain climbers don't use ropes and exclusively climb without them?article said:"Getting over the top is easy. These are like professional mountain climbers, they're incredible climbers. They can't climb some of these walls,” Trump told reporters during a tour of border wall prototypes.
Et cetera folks! That'll protect us from the people on the other side of an unclimbable wall. Wait... why are we worried about who is on the other side of the unscalable wall?Trump viewed eight such prototypes during his California visit and noted that a wall with “see-through capability” would be beneficial in combating cartels.
"You have to know what's on the other side of the wall," Trump said. "You could be two feet away from a criminal cartel and don't even know they're there. Now we have equipment to take care of that, X-ray equipment, et cetera."
“Trudeau came to see me. He’s a good guy, Justin. He said, ‘No, no, we have no trade deficit with you, we have none. Donald, please,’ ” Trump said, mimicking Trudeau, according to audio of the private event in Missouri obtained by The Washington Post. “Nice guy, good-looking guy, comes in — ‘Donald, we have no trade deficit.’ He’s very proud because everybody else, you know, we’re getting killed.
“ ... So, he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong, Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid. … And I thought they were smart. I said, ‘You’re wrong, Justin.’ He said, ‘Nope, we have no trade deficit.’ I said, ‘Well, in that case, I feel differently,’ I said, ‘but I don’t believe it.’ I sent one of our guys out, his guy, my guy, they went out, I said, ‘Check, because I can’t believe it.’
‘Well, sir, you’re actually right. We have no deficit, but that doesn’t include energy and timber. … And when you do, we lose $17 billion a year.’ It’s incredible.”
The Office of the United States Trade Representative says the United States has a trade surplus with Canada. It reports that in 2016, the U.S. exported $12.5 billion more in goods and services than it imported from Canada, leading to a trade surplus, not a deficit.
Stormy Daniels' lawyer revealed this morning on Morning Joe that Daniels was physically threatened. He would not reveal details.

1968.When did evangelicals decide that their hearts could hold forgiveness for every heinous act of which humans are capable, except for the unforgivable sin of being a Democrat?
Nunes said that he doesn’t see who [Special Counsel Robert Mueller] could indict for collusion if all the indictments to date have been on other charges.
“Now look at who Mueller has prosecuted at this point, and who is left to prosecute for collusion?” he wondered. “I mean, there’s no one left. [Former Trump campaign manager Paul] Manafort would be the obvious guy to think of that was colluding, right? If you could have gotten him on collusion, he would have been the obvious choice. Flynn, I mean, I knew Flynn very very well, and he is not a secret communist supporting Putin. So, they can’t get him on that. So who else do they have?”

So there we have it. According to Nunes, the "left" (see Robert Mueller) has no one left to discuss anything with about Trump's possible illegal ties (all that barrel of monkeys entails) to Russia.
Done and done. Glad that it all came to such a neat, tidy end and we can move forward with Combover Caligula at the helm to guide this nation to greatness.

Is Nunes aware of the fact that nobody was ever going to be "indicted for collusion" since collusion is not a crime?
Conspiracy OTOH...
But he created even more buzz afterward: In tweeting photos afterward, Trump made a cringeworthy spelling gaffe, calling the Marine Corps the “Marine Core.”

My wife picked it out... so don't blame me. *oh shit... did I just blame my wife to Congress? Hmmm.... does this make me look like a major douche because I blamed her for choosing the furniture or does that make me look like a douche because I admitted I couldn't handle choosing a fucking table? Hmm... regardless I better make up for it.* Oh but she is frugal, therefore this is some unidentified third person's fault. *homerun!*article said:Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson detailed his wife's involvement Tuesday in picking out a dining room set for his office, telling a House subcommittee, "I left it with my wife."
Carson said that his wife, Candy, selected "a style and a color" of the furniture set that ultimately cost HUD $31,000.
"A style and a color was selected by her with the caveat that we were not happy with the pricing and they needed to find something," Carson told lawmakers.
He went on to defend her, "If anybody knew my wife, they would realize how ridiculous this was. She's the most frugal person in the world."
