For a while there this morning, the president was angrily attacking people on Twitter while his wife was simultaneously having an “adults need to be role models online” conversation with various social media figureheads.

So far at this ceremony to honor the CBP, Donald Trump has called them by the wrong name every single time (he keeps saying CBC, which is Congressional Black Caucus) and has introduced a Latino border agent by assuring the crowd that he “speaks perfect English.”

He thinks he’s in an old Sinatra/Martin bit, doesn’t he?

Oh my god, “do a rally speech”

Sometimes a tiny little detail reminds you of the factually broad scope of the real world nightmare you’re riding out.

Seinfeld exasperation voice:”Do?!? You think the verb is ‘do?!’"

He has great words. The best words.

It's hard to describe how this makes me feel.

Looks like the Manafort jury might end up being hung on at least one count, but the judge has told them to keep deliberating. People believe this means the other counts have been decided:

Hard to imagine a world where they’ve agreed on a total absence of guilt for every single other count, but can’t decide on this last one.

Comparatively easy to imagine them thinking “well I understand that he’s guilty of this over here, but this last thing is confusing to me.”

and to think we get to watch it all over again next month!

What's the record for shortest amount of time between a conviction and a pardon? Trump is probably going to do a pardon.

sure but there's another scenario where manafort is found guilty, sees his bargaining position diminishing as Cohen works a deal, and decides to flip while he still has something to offer

Yeah, I'm wondering about the swing myself. I just want some good news to come out of this thing.

Also if it's bad for Trump I wonder how he'll attack the jury, private citizens and all that.

I got worried last night thinking about how the team mentality could come into play in a lot of these cases that go to trial. If you support trump, why would you want to find one of these clowns guilty?
