One of the things I miss most about Barack Obama is his sense of humor.
Trump’s only idea of being funny is to give mean and demeaning nicknames to those who oppose him.
It’s an index into the man’s unpleasant character.

Rather, Trump called Debbie Dingell and told her unsolicited that he would lower flags, which she appreciated.
Trump has a lonnng history of making up phone calls in which people thank him or congratulate him.
This tweet combines the Praise Call genre of false claim with a hint of the Critic Who Begged Me genre of false claim.

It has now been 11 months since the Trump regime held a White House daily press briefing.
We are well along the way to authoritarianism. Press secretary Stephanie Grisham has yet to host a single daily briefing.
Not sure what taxpayers are paying her for.

Omg! Leaked audio of Mike Bloomberg talking about the high crime rates among urban minorities.
“And the way to get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them” #BloombergIsARacist
- Donald Trump Jr.
Omg! Your father is the most overt and flagrantly hateful racist and bigot of the modern presidency and nothing - absolutely nothing - in Mike Bloomberg’s background puts him in the same category as your dad.
But let us count the ways: https://bloomberg.com/opinion/articl
Your dad and his father, Fred, ran a housing business that the Justice Department censured in 1973 for discriminating against prospective tenants of color.
Jack O’Donnell, a senior executive at your dad’s Atlantic City casinos during the 1980s, described him as someone whose “prejudices didn’t stop at the color of one’s skin. Everyone was subject to judgment. It could be their ethnicity, their gender, their religion.’”
O’Donnell also described Trump as picky about who handled his cash back then. “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”
When he was running his casino business, your dad paid for a series of newspaper and broadcast ads that sought to brand a potential competitor seeking a gambling license — a Native American tribe, the Mohawks — as drug dealers and criminals.
Your mom, Ivana Trump, told her lawyer during your parents divorce that your dad kept a copy of Hitler’s collected speeches by his bedside in Trump Tower. When a reporter questioned your dad about the book in 1990, he balked and then said it was a gift.
Your dad embraced birtherism in 2011 and falsely asserted that President Barack Obama was born overseas and had forged his birth certificate.
While the Trump University lawsuit was being litigated, your dad publicly claimed one of the judges hearing the case, Gonzalo Curiel, was biased because of his Mexican heritage. Curiel was born in the U.S.
Your dad has often been reluctant to distance himself from white supremacists like the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Your dad gave Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, no strangers to white nationalism, senior roles in his 2016 presidential campaign and in his White House.
Your dad has unapologetically retweeted white nationalists, and for years has praised himself and others as being the successful beneficiaries of “good genes.”
Michael Cohen, your dad’s former lawyer, testified before Congress that “Mr. Trump is a racist.”
Cohen also recalled a trip with your dad: “While we were once driving through a struggling neighborhood in Chicago, he commented that only black people could live that way. He told me that black people would never vote for him because they were too stupid.”
In White House meetings, your dad has inveighed against allowing immigrants from “shithole countries” into the U.S. — noting that, unlike residents of Norway, Haitians all had AIDS and Nigerians lived in “huts.”
In the wake of the Charlottesville marches in 2017, your dad famously couldn’t bring himself to promptly condemn the neo-Nazis who had taken part. Instead, he initially criticized the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides — on many sides.”
Last year, your dad suggested that four Democratic congresswomen of color, three of whom were born in the U.S., “go back” to their ancestors’ countries.
Despite a broad public outcry about the leader of the free world unleashing a timeworn racist trope against that group of women, your dad refused to apologize or back away from his comments.
@MikeBloomberg apologized and will continue to apologize for stop and frisk. It was wrong and he stood by it for too long. But it hardly defines the totality of his work with people of color, and the broad policies he continues to pursue to empower people of color.
Still waiting for your dad to apologize for the racism and bigotry he’s visited upon communities of color at home and abroad during his presidency — and decades before. Tick, tock, tick, tick...
While we hold our breath waiting for all of these apologies, also ask your dad about banning travelers from mostly-Muslim countries or his nifty habit of tearing brown babies and children away from their parents at the U.S.’s southern border with Mexico.

I don’t see how a prosecutor *could* explain this.
Yesterday they told the judge that a sentence of seven to nine years was appropriate for Roger Stone.
Today they’re supposed to argue that they were wrong yesterday? Any judge would ask: What changed between yesterday and today?
