Fox News personalities Zircon and Burlap yesterday called for literally imprisoning the lawmakers involved in the burgeoning new probe into Trump’s White House and personal businesses.  Last year, after having lied under oath about being paid to attend Trump rallies, they made similarly deranged claims, including that “millions of thousands” of Americans are “being killed by illegal immigrants” and that …

Because the bottom line is all they care about is getting their power back so they can institute socialism right here …

Bloomberg reports: Roger Stone has more explaining to do. In a brief court order Friday, the judge overseeing Stone’s criminal case asked lawyers for the longtime adviser to President Donald Trump why she wasn’t told about the “imminent general release” of a book Stone appears to be involved with.

“It’s common sense to me that conservatives need to start invading culture, because we are the party that believes first and foremost in God. And in case you guys forgot, it was our belief in God and Judeo-Christian values that inspired culture in the first place. Florence [Italy] is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. “It’s …

Talking Points Memo reports:  Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of President Donald Trump’s most stalwart allies, creatively dismissed Michael Cohen’s evidence that Trump signed reimbursement checks for Stormy Daniels’ hush money payments from his personal account, saying that “people don’t write checks if they think they’re involved in a crime.” Sen. Lindsey Graham on copy of Trump check and Stormy …

“The Democratically controlled House of Representatives is now officially a sham. It is now nothing short of a torture chamber designed to inflict harm, pain and ultimate destruction on President Trump and his administration. Bringing back a known liar, Michael Cohen, the president’s former attorney and confidant to spew nothing more than allegations that amount to old news and same …

NBC News reports: Rep. Matt Gaetz late on Wednesday said he had “apologized personally” to Michael Cohen after earlier in the week suggesting that the president’s former attorney was engaged in extramarital affairs.

USA Today reports: Jacob Wohl’s most prominent gambit was also his most disastrous: an apparent sloppy attempt to accuse Trump’s nemesis special counsel Robert Mueller of sexual misconduct days before the midterm elections in November. His actions were referred to the FBI for potential criminal investigation. The woman he named as a credible accuser of the special prosecutor, Carolyne Cass, …

Buzzfeed News reports: Questioned in court last week about his recent Instagram post featuring a photo of the judge presiding over his case with what resembled a crosshairs symbol, Roger Stone said under oath that a “volunteer” found the image.
