It's Friday, folks. Friday afternoon.

[MineralMan]

What might happen around the end of the business day on a Friday like this one? Is there a surprise news dump still to come this week to carry us into the weekend?

I don't know. But, if there is, it could be Yuuuuge!

[msongs]

1. geez its barely after sunrise here nt

[brooklynite]

2. So far, WH hasn't felt the need to hide the news.....

[Wounded Bear]

3. The Friday news dump used to be a thing...

Pols would do one, hoping whatever hoopla rising from the news released will die down by Mon morning.

Not sure it works any more.

Rachel Maddow has commented on that many times. Any more, it feels like every day is Friday when it comes to news.

4. We just haven't seen a good one lately.

I don't know if there is anything out there on hold by anyone, but there could be. This would be an excellent week to drop it.

5. Now they do a Friday dump to setup the Sunday am shows

[gratuitous]

6. Say, wouldn't now be a good time for a slice of rhubarb pie?

Nothing gets the taste of shame and degradation out of a guy's mouth quite like a slice of rhubarb pie.

Lacking that, I'll take William Barr's resignation for getting his position as Attorney General confused with being the President's personal attorney. Sessions got cross-wise from the get-go, recusing himself before Trump had quite made it clear what he expected from an Attorney General. Barr has no such scruples.

16. I'm more preferential of apple or cherry... But I'll take Barr's

balls on a platter to offer to Guliani to eat on live TV for 1000

[Brainfodder]

18. He's gonna need seconds...

What a cluster!

[FirstLight]

19. You owe me a keyboard...

*rubs hands together with evil grin*


ohhh, in a perfect world, who could we make dessert?

[Grasswire2]

7. yeah I hate to go out.

Have a clinic appt.

Things should start breaking about 1 o'clock pacific time if they do.

[redstatebluegirl]

8. I wonder every morning when I wake up what happened overnight.

I take a deep breath and go get my paper off the porch and log on to see what happened. It causes stress for sure, less since this happened though.

You are right the Friday afternoon dump could be interesting this week.

[SunSeeker]

9. Seems like Friday came early this week.

Seems like Christmas came early too, at least for those of us who care about this country.

That Whistleblower Complaint is the best present I've gotten in a while.

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Let's hope it's a Trump Dump. I'd love to see him out of our White house.

With mobster Don "Corleone" as president it's impossible to know what lies ahead.

[Captain Zero]

11. Trump is resigning by 5 pm today?

Just a question for the bots.

[MineralMan]

14. I doubt that very much. He's tenacious.

[The Wielding Truth]

15. That would be nice. He must have to take the rest of his "collaborators" with him.

[empedocles]

12. Gangster don

13. Lawrence O'Donnell changed his travel plans last night.

Something's up today. Who knows what.

[FirstLight]

17. His spidey-sense was tingling...

...as is mine!


I was a small town journlist for a few years back in the 90's when we still had a real newsroom. 28 year old me had to watch the Clinton debacle .. what would she think of now?
This is schadenfreude for sure.

Bring the Friday News Dump!!!!
