All the little birdies on jaybird street,
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweeet…

Donald Trump is going to live tweet during James Comey’s testimony because he doesn’t have anything else to do.

Robert Costa of the Washington Post reports —

“I was just talking to some White House officials this morning and their view is that the president himself wants to be the messenger, his own warrior, his own lawyer, his own spokesman,” Costa explained. “Some outside people, some surrogates will be available.”

In related news, some people think he might be crazy.

“There are serious concerns about this president’s mental stability, and there are serious problems when you have a president of the United States who is so erratic, so unreliable. This is incredibly damaging,” [Jennifer] Rubin told CNN’s “New Day.”

No shoot, Sherlock.

Thanks to Deb B. for the heads up.

I have missed her so much!  I didn’t know how I was going to watch Comey if Rachel wasn’t there watching, too.

Thanks to Barb in DeeCee for the heads up.

You can go check out my monthly column at Outsmart Magazine.  It is the funnest place to work.

Please feel free to comment over there, too.  Especially to Mike Crowe, a libertarian who literally stalks me.  I won’t let him comment here.

It’s Pride Month, y’all.

Okay, so why would Jared need a back channel to Russia and want to conduct business from the Russian Embassy?

Oh, I dunno.

Unless maybe you owe the Chinese $250 million and no US banks will loan you money.  Then you might need to talk to someone.

The Kushner family real estate company is seeking a $250 million loan to pay back Chinese investors in a New Jersey luxury tower but finding some major U.S. banks wary of the controversies around its White House links and the visa program used to attract the investors.

Thanks to s gray for the heads up.

With Trump wanting to privatize Air Traffic Control, I can only remember his business success with airlines.

Well, I guess it makes sense because we did privatize the presidency of the United States and some guy is making big bucks off of it.

Okay, I think this might be big but then again, I still think Trump bragging about where he grabs women is big, so you can’t trust me too much on deciding what’s big.

A classified intelligence report obtained by The Intercept reveals that Russian hackers may have more deeply penetrated U.S. voting systems during last year’s election than previously reported, including trying to hack elections officials.

The Intercept reported Monday about a “top-secret” National Security Agency document. The document — dated May 5 — details hacking efforts by Russian military intelligence that includes a cyberattack against at least one U.S. voting software supplier.

Uh oh.  That would mean that they did, in fact, try to hack the actual vote.

CBS News is also confirming this.

I’ll keep an eye on it and update later.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up and all the links.
