    Fast forward a few days and we’ll have Trump bashing Barr for not making up fake crimes. 

    Barr should have been impeached months ago for his lies. But here we are.

    At the summit, Trump aggressively lobbied for Russia to be readmitted into the G7, refused to hold it accountable for violating international law, blamed former President Barack Obama for Russia's annexation of Crimea, and expressed sympathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    One former senior Justice Department official, who worked closely with the former special counsel Robert Mueller when he was the FBI director, told Insider Trump's behavior was "directly out of the Putin playbook. We have a Russian asset sitting in the Oval Office."

    A former CIA operative told Insider the evidence is "overwhelming" that Trump is a Russian agent, but another CIA and NSA veteran said it was more likely Trump was currying favor with Putin for future business deals.

    Meanwhile, a recently retired FBI special agent told Insider that Trump's freewheeling and often unfounded statements make it more likely that he's a "useful idiot" for the Russians. But "it would not surprise me in the least if the Russians had at least one asset in Trump's inner circle."

  4. I think back to the 65 y.o. lady that ended up getting tazed over a broken tail light a few weeks ago. She wouldn't sign the ticket and rolled up her window. Cop escalated it to "You're under arrest." I think she drove off, then got pulled out and tazed.

    Seems like he could have explained to her that there would be consequences for not signing it. He skipped several steps in between that could have made it go smoother.

  5. So many of these conflicts seem to have terrible communication b/w the cops and the other parties. I'll bet the owner of the McDonald's welcomes having police officers in there regularly. He needs to tell his employess that, and the cops need to not act like jackasses. Stand in line and we'll give you a free McFlurry every time.
