Frankly a light news day thus far at 2:30 PM EST, but there's a lot of in depth stories that have come out today that shed light on the extraordinary disfunction of the DT administration.
- On February 12th, 2017, outspoken alt-right advisor to DT, Stephen Miller, appeared on Chuck Todd's show on Sunday morning to dismiss the judicial branch and to say he could not make a statement as to the White House's position on the controversy surrounding disgraced retired General Mike Flynn lying about meeting with the Russian ambassador to discuss lifting sanctions on Russia. If you are unfamiliar with the 31-year-old Stephen Miller, I encourage you to read the second source, which gives you an idea of the man's disgustingly racist and anti-working class politics.
- On February 12th, 2017, the Independent reported that UK lawmakers in Birmingham are outraged at the suggestion that moving DT's visit to United Kingdom from London to the middle English city will enable DT to escape protest. They have vowed that, regardless of where he visits, he will be met with "the biggest protest in British history."
- On February 12th, 2017, DT once again tweeted nearly word for word something he heard on the cable "news" show Fox and Friends.
- On February 12th, 2017, on Meet the Press, Senator Bernie Sanders called DT "a pathological liar."

- On February 12th, 2017, the Observer reported an in depth story on how the intelligence community is pushing back at DT and his administration for their ties to Russia. An unsettling and alarming read.
- On February 12th, 2017, Politico reported an in depth story on tensions between Kellyanne Conway and DT, particularly with his daughter Ivanka after Conway's ethics violation earlier this week when she marketed Ivanka's products on national television.
- On February 12th, 2017, Politico also reported that bookmakers, who have a strong history of predicting political events, have it 4-1 that DT will be impeached this year by the House of Representatives. We can only hope that the usual accuracy of betting holds.
- On February 12th, 2017, the Department of Education, newly headed by the completely unqualified billionaire Betsy DeVos, tweeted a quote by W.E.B. Du Bois, spelling the civil rights activist's name wrong. The DOE followed this up with a tweet expressing their "deepest apologizes" for the error.
- On February 12th, 2017, DT curiously tweeted that businessman Mark Cuban had supported him "big time" but was not "smart enough to run for president." Cuban did not, and in fact said that DT was a "goddamn airhead" during the election and eventually came around to openly supporting Secretary Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Cuban's response today was classic. (Click thumbnails to enlarge)
