1. Why does Trump and Fox News

always compare this currrent administration’s actions and policies to those of previous adminostrations (i.e. Obama and Clinton)? This isn’t a pissing contest. It’s about what is happening now and about what he is or is not doing for or (in his case) against this country and its people. It’s seems a constant attempt to distract from the facts and current happenings of what has become the most discgraceful presidency of recent history.

2. Wait a minute...

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember Obama closing consulates and threwing out Russians.

5. He definitely closed the Russians' summer house in Long Island (iirc), and threw out Russians

connected with it, who I think were techies. Actually that's another nugget that will be interesting to watch for. Bearing in mind the indictment last Friday, you can bet Mueller has all the info as to what went on in this one too.
