When John McCain passes...

Don't know who'll be there but Jimmy, Bill, Dubya, Barack and asshole all there together is a depressing thought. I can just imagine asshole tearing into McCain again for his vote to save ACA in any remarks he might make.

According to CNN, Meghan and Cindy are going on The View next week and Meghan said they'd address asshole's latest insult then.

I'd request that he not attend any of the services if it were me.

America No Longer A 'Nation Of Immigrants,' USCIS Says

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is changing its mission statement to eliminate a passage that describes the U.S. as "a nation of immigrants."

The agency's new mission statement as it appears on the agency's website reads:

"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation's lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values."

Here is USCIS's previous mission statement:

"USCIS secures America's promise as a nation of immigrants by providing accurate and useful information to our customers, granting immigration and citizenship benefits, promoting an awareness and understanding of citizenship, and ensuring the integrity of our immigration system."

Student Samuel Zief is an impressive, articulate spokesperson.

Just watched him in an extended interview on CNN and he is awesome.

He saw Trump's attack on movies and video games for what it is; a diversion. Said he and all of his friends played these games and watched these movies and they never, never would be promoted by them to go out and commit acts of violence. They all know the difference between them and reality.

He's a very smart and perceptive young man.


Among other things, Trump's using these "listening" sessions to get a hit in on blue Hollywood while he's at it.

Trump's note card he was holding for "listening" session showed up in a camera shot from CNN.

Mueller charges lawyer with lying about interaction with Rick Gates

Source: CNN

Special counsel Robert Mueller has filed a charge against a lawyer for lying to investigators about his interaction with former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates in September 2016.

Alex Van der Zwaan is expected to plead guilty Tuesday afternoon.

He is also accused of lying about the failure to turn over an email communication to the special counsel's office. He was speaking with investigators about his work with Skadden Arps in 2012 when the firm did work for the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice to prepare a report on the trial of Yulia Tymoshenko.

Van der Zwaan has a plea hearing scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at US District Court in Washington, DC.
