Looks like Devin Nunes may have just obstructed justice by speaking to the press about incidental communications collection and multiple FISA warrants. They are trying to spin it as though Trump was right about being wiretapped, when that is not the case.

A new report indicates that Donald Trump‘s lawyers have gone after a teen who operates a gag site.

Interestingly, the report is from the Observer, which is owned by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Perhaps more interesting — the site that received the cease and desist order is one that shows the president being punched by kittens. We’d link to the site, but one of the URLs leads to a 404 error message and the other now leads to porn, courtesy of an opportunistic entrepreneur of some sort.

Anyway, it was created by a 17-year-old girl identified as Lucy. Lucy loves to code and created the site as a “fun little” project to show off her technical skills. The teen had this to say:

I was going to just let this go, but I think it’s, pardon my French, ####ing outrageous that the President of the United States has his team scouring the internet for sites like mine to send out cease and desists and legal action claims if we don’t shut down. Meanwhile, he tweets about The Apprentice ratings and sends out power-drunk tweets about phone tapping. HOW ABOUT BEING THE PRESIDENT?

I got this: it's a quote from the article in Rolling Stone magazine, posted by Direwolf immediately above Duffman's post, written by Matt Taibbi.

Can't help you on this part.

EDIT: Although, the below would indicate that re-posting what the person immediately above him said ten minutes later might account for at least some of it.

You unwittingly nailed it. For Trumpists, that's what all this is about. They're basically the worst sports homers you've ever met - they only consume media that's biased in their team's favour, any loss incurred by their team is a result of outside bias or interference, and they're proud not to know the first thing about the game or the league beyond the fact that they're on the Red Team and they need to beat the Blue Team by any means necessary.

The Americans basically turned over the keys to the most powerful country in the world to HFBoards.

Why? To what end? Republicans have long been immune to the sweet sting of hypocrisy. Their base doesn't care. Sad as it is it simply gets an eye roll and we'll all move on.

And when he said it, he meant it in quotation marks.

Hey, that seems like a good thing! Can Americans keep that when Trump inevitably gets impeached?

Elon Musk has hit back at claims that President Donald Trump's new NASA bill will be good for his space exploration business, saying it does nothing to get SpaceX's mission to Mars off the ground.

The serial entrepreneur took to Twitter Tuesday to respond to Kara Swisher, co-founder of technology news website Recode, who said the president's decision to grant NASA $19.5 billion in funding would leave Musk "smiling."

"I am not," wrote Musk, chief executive of SpaceX. "This bill changes almost nothing about what NASA is doing. Existing programs stay in place and there is no added funding for Mars.

Health care should be about who can afford it only, the rest of those unable to work and get up by their bootstraps should just die.
