'Donald Trump: L’état, C’est Moi'
"In his bizarre New York Times interview, Donald Trump expresses his characteristic assortment of fever-dream assertions. The president believes Hillary Clinton “was totally opposed to any sanctions for Russia,” that a properly amortized health-insurance plan would cost “$12 a year,” that Napoleon’s “one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities,” and that Trump has somehow either carried out or reversed sweeping land reforms (“I’ve given the farmers back their farms. I’ve given the builders back their land to build houses and to build other things”). Yet a consistent idea manages to poke through the delirious rambling. Trump repeatedly affirmed his conviction that the entire federal government ought to be operated for his personal benefit.
Trump expressed this idea by returning several times to the phrase “conflict of interest.” Trump himself is of course the most personally conflicted president in modern American history. He has maintained a vast, undisclosed business empire and openly used his powers in office to enrich himself. But he does not mention this conflict of interest. Instead he applies the phrase to any law-enforcement official who might potentially get in his way."

Trump to nominate a non-scientist flunky to USDA chief scientist slot. Despite a congressional mandate that the slot be filled by a distinguished scientist. These Repubes better not let this one slide, but I imagine they will. Just disgusting.

If you're a good enough table buser at Mar-a-largo you too can be secretary of state.

Sessions discussed campaign with Russians, then lied about it. Can you say collusion?

Unfortunately that is partly what DT wants too, Sessions out of the way, his own lackey in place to disrupt and intimidate Mueller. Question is if the Senate would be willing to approve any nominee?
