TW3 (That Was The Week That Was)

Just a week ago, Rod Rosenstein broke the news that 12 Russians had been indicted. Reportedly, he had asked Trump if it was OK to release the information before he went on his trip? Trump said OK.

Then, Trump went to Brussels and ripped NATO and the European Union. He bad-mouthed Angela Merkel and Teresa May in the process, before his journey Monday to Helsinki. Then he had the secret meeting with Putin that still has America's national security experts shaking in their boots. Then he had the press conference with Putin where he sold our country down the river.

Then he returned home and began his "backtracking" the very next day. His story changed so many times that we could not keep up. Republicans were happy with his "clarification".

Then he invited Putin to come to the White House sometime this fall. His DNI did not know anything about it.

And now the story breaks that Cohen had tapes. Lordy! Lordy! Lordy!

This has all happened just in the last week...

and the pace is accelerating

I am getting Trump traitor asshole reveal whiplash (TTARW) syndrome.

Puerto Rico is still a mess.

Children are still in cages in custody after being ripped from their mothers.

The EPA is silently undoing decades of protection.

Their is no money for states to protect their voting machines and no expertise on possible threats available.

And on and on and on...

first trial in Virginia, with another in September and then there's Michael Cohen. Although with Cohen, I have a feeling he is already cooperating, as he isn't saying much at the moment.
