Baker is pretty alright. I'm surprised he hasn't changed parties since he almost always disagrees with whatever Trump has been doing lately.

Baker is a Massachusetts Republican. Pro business progressive, if that makes any sense. And he could be a heck of a lot worse.

Legit question: How many Press Conferences like these did the White House hold in the first 110 ish days of Obama's run vs. now.

Every other day it feels we are getting one to calm shit down

Outside of special events like President is traveling these press briefings are daily thing.

I think they're always run everyday. Except Obama's Whitehouse wasn't a shitshow and nobody cared to tune in regularly.

Let's talk hypothetical. Let's say Trump gets impeached and has to step down. I honestly feel he will flat out refuse and will have to be physically removed.

Rosenstein Pressed White House to Correct the Record on Comey Firing

WASHINGTON—Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein pressed White House counsel Don McGahn to correct what he felt was an inaccurate White House depiction of the events surrounding FBI Director James Comey’s firing, according to a person familiar with the conversation.

Mr. Rosenstein left the impression that he couldn’t work in an environment where facts weren’t accurately reported, the person said. The deputy attorney general objected to statements by White House aides citing Mr. Rosenstein’s critical assessment of Mr.Comey’s job performance to justify the firing.

Rosenstein is not happy. He's putting that distance in asap. Not trying to go down with the ship.

I highly doubt he would be impeached, I think he would resign for some unforeseen medical reason if it came to that.

It will be like the end of Scarface but instead of coke on his desk it will be ice cream scoops and Diet Coke.

Trump: "What could I sign that would make people believe I'm tough on Russia and not being investigated?"
Advisor: "Here's an executive order on cyber. That should do the trick."

Rosenstein also apparently marched up to the Hill today and insisted he talk to the SIC and they cut a press briefing short to talk to him so...very curious what that's about

Oh he's going down as ungracefully as possible if he ever actually got Impeached.

I'm imagining him literally being dragged kicking and screaming out of the Oval Office. As he's escorted out of the White House for the last time, he'll yell out "BUT IT WAS ALL FAKE NEWS!"

He doesn't have the courage to make a stand like that. He only knows how to sue, fire in-subordinates, and run away.

She was right about the original fisa warrants back in October. I don't like her track record so far but you can't say there is no reason to pay attention. Just take what she says skeptically for now. Ultimately we won't know how right/wrong she was until it's over.

It makes me uncomfortable to see people who have no idea how the internet or computer security works in general ask questions about... "the cloud" or whatever.

But I get it, not everyone can be a computer scientist. Just wish people were better informed so they wouldn't have to ask such dum questions.

He's clearly just using this EO to try to deflect from the Russia stuff. "See, I'm trying to protect our country from this in the future!"

I hope SNL is just an hour long play this week. Might as well just make it improv with the way this White House operates.

Could probably pick up some breaking news during commercial breaks.
