Ummm, Mount Rushmore is a National Memorial, run by the NPS, so why in the heck is Trump talking to Gov. Noem about adding anything to the memorial? She fucking has no say in the matter. :no_good_woman::frowning_woman::man_facepalming::woman_facepalming::man_shrugging::woman_shrugging:

Do they really want to be at Putin’s mercy if they fail to destroy this country? I hear he doesn’t suffer fools unless of course there is a visible benefit.

I expect if anyone was able to really dig into them, we’d see a whole lotta money going to Mitch and others, and there would have been tangible results delivered.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

Discobot is having a Lindsay Graham moment. Feeling irrelevant he must once again make his presence known.

Updated this story to explain how Draper's reporting forced intel officials to directly acknowledge Russia's support for Trump (and why they still had to soft-peddle it) https://t.co/U1hGh7dIZf
