Remember when Trump denied that he used his personal iPhone to tweet and sent the denial from his personal iPhone?  I loved that.

Now, I’m wondering if this misspelling of Adam Schiff is purposeful or if he’ll deny that, too.

By the way, I don’t think he knows what conflicted means.  And, he sent it from his iPhone just after midnight.

And, he doesn’t understand the different between a special prosecutor and the attorney general.

Thanks to Jan for the heads up.

After Trump did that whole Rake the Forest thing that El Jefe talks about below, the Finnish president took time out of his busy day to assure everyone that he has never discussed the raking of the Finnish forest with Donald Trump, even though Donald Trump says they did.

But President Sauli Niinistö of Finland told Ilta-Sanomat, the country’s second-largest newspaper, on Sunday that he never discussed raking with Trump during their brief meeting in Paris last weekend, where the leaders attended various commemorations marking the centenary of the armistice that ended World War I.

He did tell Trump that Finland is a forest nation, but rakes?  Nope. He’s never heard of that. Does Trump think they can’t hear him in Finland because it’s like a long ways away and they don’t speak in English, so how do they know what he says in California?    There a 5 million people living in Finland.  Finland is 130,666 square miles.  You do the math because Trump can’t.

And, I bet you a shiny dime that if you took rake with five assorted garden instruments, say, like a shovel, a hoe, a post hole digger, and a spade, Trump would not be able to identify which one is the rake.

I’m not going to comment on Trump’s visit to wildfire-ravaged California beyond saying this is the latest episode of Trump holding the position of number one global embarrassment.  What an idiot.  In his own words:

On forest management:

“You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story.”

“I was with the president of Finland and he said, ‘We have a much different—we’re a forest nation.’ He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they don’t have any problem.  And when it is, it’s a very small problem, so I know everybody is looking at it to that end and it’s going to work out, it’s going to work out well.”

On climate:

“Maybe it contributes a little bit. The big problem we have is management.”

“No. No. I have a strong opinion: I want great climate, we’re going to have that.”

Again, this guy is an idiot.  ‘Nuff said.

Okay, so Mitch McConnell refused to even hear Senator Jeff Flake’s bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller.  McConnell won’t let it go to a vote.

Well, two can play the Stubborn old Bastard game.

Flake then declared he will vote to reject all judicial nominees. “This is not a moment for our national leadership to be weak or irresolute,” he said on the Senate floor.

Flake is the swing vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee and, with Democrats, can vote down judicial nominations. McConnell could still bring these nominations forward to the Senate floor against the will of the committee, but Flake said he doubts this would happen because it would alienate GOP senators.

McConnell, who is legally deaf and blind but yet he speaks, says that it’s not time to protect Mueller because there’s no indication Trump will go after him.  When is time, Mitch?  After Trump’s goofy AG fires him?

Ya think Mueller has something on Mitch?  Lord have mercy, I sure hope so.

In a move worthy of Colombo, Vanity Fair has finally uncovered the mystery of why Trump did not attend any of the Veterans Day events.

One Republican briefed on the internal discussions said the real reason Trump did not want to go was because there would be no tent to stand under. “He was worried his hair was going to get messed up in the rain,” the source said. “[John] Bolton and everyone was telling him this was a big mistake.” A former administration official said Trump hates being outside in wet conditions.

It was his hair, you damn fools.

Marine One cannot fly in the rain?  Oh hell, Marine One can fly through a damn tornado.  The Secret Service didn’t want him going in his car because it’s raining and they just finished washing it?

No, he did not go because he knew he would look silly wearing a shower cap.
