45: I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health. Also, good meeting with Kim Jong Un. Date & Place set. (Heard described as a confidence-building measure by NK to negate using detainees as bargaining chips in future meeting. An act of good faith by Kim Jong, if you will. Swear I’m repeating, as I never would’ve strung those words ((good faith, Kim Jong)) together!)
45: Secretary Pompeo and his “guests” will be landing at Andrews Air Force Base at 2:00 A.M. in the morning. I will be there to greet them. Very exciting!
*I’m sorry; I know not the point (@ all!) but YES, we know 2:00 A.M. is in the morning!🙄
I found this article very helpful in describing the global impact of Dumbass’ move yesterday: EU Fights to Keep Iran Nuclear Deal Alive After Trump’s Exit - Bloomberg apple.news/AllMH0-VMTGaOfcQRGBjqQQ
So other than a random smattering of a few jobs, coal has not made the comeback Trump promised. Such a shock. Too bad these people didn't have a chance for career retraining and business development in these areas. Oh wait, wasn't that Obama's plan? SMH

And I have a Trump supporter on my FB feed who said that he's doing what he said and to keep up the good work. And "America First"
His supporters just blindly believe that everything he does is good. They don't bother to think about the larger impact.
America First means jackshit when it's also America Alone and the rest of the world hates us.
(Sorry for the Tweet but the duplicity is INSANE!)
To Republicans in the Senate who confirm Gina Haspel, a woman who tortured a pregnant lady, had agents hit this lady in the womb, and subjected her to hell-on-earth.
Tell us why you believe abortion is wrong at 6 weeks, but torture of a fetus & its mother are OK, mid-pregnancy? —— To bring it full circle: is torture of a pregnant woman & thus her fetus acceptable because she’s not American?!? 😟

A reporter pointed out on Twitter that in looking at the $$ timeline we should keep in mind that Cohen and Felix Sater delivered that secret “Ukraine peace plan” to Flynn right around the time that the oligarch payments started.
I’ve been reading about Oswald Mosley (founder of the British fascist movement in the 1930s). I think he offers more parallels to what’s going on in America today than Hitler. His slogan was Britain First and adamantly claimed that his beliefs were rooted in the response to Depression-era unemployment. The difference is that he never really found a foothold because the military threat posed by Hitler subsumed everything else. Fascism as a philosophy was socially acceptable in the upper classes of Britain at that time, but the blackshirts were all from working class. They just wanted a fight. Recruiting the serfs to protect other people’s wealth is a long running con in history.
This is nuts. Novartis paid $400k into the Stormy Daniels slush fund for corporate access to Trump. Maybe this is why Trump lies about cracking down on drug prices?

The Telegraph reported their names:
Three American prisoners have been freed from North Korea and are heading back to the US with Mike Pompeo, the US secretary of state, Donald Trump, the US president announced on Wednesday.
"I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health," Mr Trump tweeted.
News of the possible release of Kim Dong-cheol, Kim Sang-deok and Kim Hak-seong, who have been imprisoned by the rogue regime for between one and three years, began to break via the South Korean media earlier on Wednesday...
Kim Dong-cheol, 64, a South Korean-born American pastor, was arrested in North Korea in 2015 on charges of spying and sentenced to 10 years of hard labour.
Kim Sang-deok, 59, and Kim Hak-seong, believed to be in his 50s, were both working as academics at Pyongyang’s University of Science and Technology were arrested last year on suspicion of “hostile acts” during heightened tensions over North Korea’s rapidly advancing nuclear and weapons programmes.
The Novartis PR and legal teams apparently suck big time. Their first statement just said that any payments to Cohen were made before their new CEO took over. Now they are saying this:
But just a month after signing the deal, Novartis executives had their first meeting with Cohen, and afterward "determined that Michael Cohen and Essentials Consultants would be unable to provide the services that Novartis had anticipated."
But Novartis kept paying Cohen, despite that.
"As the contract, unfortunately, could only be terminated for cause, payments continued to be made until the contract expired by its own terms in February 2018," Novartis said.

it's all a fucking joke and we have no one on the dem side to come out scream and yell about this shit.
I saw that the treasury inspector general is now looking into how Avenatti got this info.
It is pretty remarkable that no outlet had this and Avenatti drops it on twitter.

How is him not being able to do the work NOT cause? There is a significant amount of bullshit happening here.

RIGHT?!?* I feel like we could throw together a CEP team of detectives who could kill it in DC with the proper clearance, as their full-time job, but our lawmakers/ newscasters are just...? Busy judging the tax “cut”?? Talking about 45’s Tomfoolery??😟 *My apologies it’s the 2nd time I’ve used this exact phrase with this exact caps/ punctuation today; it’s that kind of day!
