No Politician In History Has Been Treated So Badly. Right.

Donald Trump gave a commencement speech yesterday to graduates of the US Coast Guard Academy that quickly turned into a whine about how he has been treated by the media, with no acknowledgement that the problems plaguing his sinking ship of a White House are all self-inflicted. And as the day wore on, the pace of bad news for Trump just accelerated: Deputy Attorney General named respected former FBI head Robert Mueller Special Counsel to investigate the connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. The Washington Post published a transcript of a 2016 meeting of House Republican leadership where there were comments about Trump being on the payroll of Vladimir Putin - and Paul Ryan ordered them never to leak those allegations to the public. (The GOP denied the conversation took place until they learned there was a recording of it - which they then characterized as "joking.") And the New York Times revealed the bombshell news that BEFORE the inauguration, Michael Flynn informed the Trump transition team that he was under FBI investigation -- and he was named National Security Advisor ANYWAY. And - as MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills note... that was just YESTERDAY's developments. They've got plenty of political news to talk about from a progressive point of view. An Engender Media Group production.Follow us on [email protected]@[email protected]
