Had to steal the letter about the trade deal with south korea...but the letter about the baby prisons in the desert, where children are being psychologically tortured?

nah that letter is cool.
Regarding the draft letter, terminating such a key trade deal would have been a disaster for negotiations with North Korea. It’s more than just some minor trade deal.

Right on time, 1 day before testimony from just one of the women and 2 days before a committee vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation. /s
He is technically the first because Murkowski walked back her comments suggesting an FBI investigation. On Tuesday she said an FBI investigation would clear up a lot of things but then retracted it later that day and said she wasn't calling for the FBI to get involved.

First Republican calls for FBI to investigate Kavanaugh
Rep. Walter Jones became the first Republican lawmaker in Congress to call for an FBI investigation into allegations by three women that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted or harassed them decades ago.

“I think there should be an investigation by the FBI. I really do,” Jones told The Hill in a brief interview in the Capitol. “What in the world difference would 10 days make? Why not wait 10 days, why not wait two weeks to find out the truth?”
Such an investigation could exonerate and “help Kavanaugh,” argued Jones, who has sometimes clashed with Trump.

Asked if he thought the three women accusing Kavauagh were credible, Jones replied: “I don’t know enough information to say that. But they should be given the benefit of the doubt.”

Jones is not a senator and will have no role in the confirmation of Kavanaugh, but his comments are notable as many Republicans in the Senate close ranks around Kavanaugh.

A handful of GOP senators remain undecided in the Senate, where Republicans have a narrow 51-49 majority.

A third Kavanaugh accuser came forward on Wednesday. Julie Swetnick, who grew up in the same Maryland county as Kavanaugh, alleged in a statement that she had attended more than 10 high-school parties where Kavanaugh was present and witnessed him “consistently engage in excessive drinking and inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with women in the early 1980s.”

She alleged she was drugged and gang raped at one party that Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge had attended, though she said they did not participate.

Kavanaugh in a statement issued by the White House described these allegations as coming from the twilight zone.

Earlier, Christine Blasey Ford alleged that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her at a party when they were both high school students. And one of Kavanaugh’s classmates at Yale, Deborah Ramirez, alleged that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a college dormitory party.

Kavanaugh has vehemently denied all allegations against him, something Trump has called a “con job” by Democrats trying to derail the nomination. Both Kavanaugh and Ford will testify about the allegations before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

Democrats have been calling for an FBI investigation into the assault allegations. But so far, Jones is the only Republican on Capitol Hill to join those calls.

On Tuesday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told CNN an FBI investigation would “clear up a lot of things.” But later in the day, she walked back those comments and said she was not calling for the FBI to get involved.
 
Here is Trump minutes ago suggesting he "could change his mind" on Kavanaugh tomorrow.
He is apparently also unaware that only one of the women will be testifying unless Grassley reverses course, which seems unlikely.
Deborah Ramirez' attorney claimed yesterday that Republicans refused to show up for a previously scheduled call and that they could only get Democrats on the line.

And here he is a couple minutes earlier calling all the allegations false

He also once again threw the longstanding tradition down the drain of refraining from commenting on the Federal Reserve's actions.

Dude flip flops harder than John Kerry in some havianas. Props to Acosta for going at him in that stupid press conference you know Jim hates him with a passion :lol
 
He's talking about Kim like he has a crush on him

It sounds like Kim's tactics are working rather well. Let's not forget that he already scored a W by getting Trump to concede the suspension of joint US-SK military drills, simply by giving Trump a photo op while continuing to rapidly expand NK's nuclear facilities.

I would suggest reading this letter from Kim to Trump from July 6th and taking a close look at his linguistic approach.
"H.E. Donald J. Trump"
"Your Excellency Mr. President" x4
"Your Excellency" x1
"Energetic and extraordinary efforts" (surprised he didn't throw in a 'tremendous' there)

When I first read that letter I immediately thought it reads like something an articulate version of Trump would write about himself :lol:
Kim knows exactly what he's doing with the flowery language and repetitive flattery. Ain't nobody without a deliberate motive writing "Your Excellency Mr. President" 4 times in one small letter for a grand total of 6 "Your/His Excellency" references.
