Morning Bits: Trump is a prosecutor’s dream

Vladimir Putin would not dream of a system in which the president isn't in charge. "The issue, I think, for us in the midterms is, what message is Putin hearing? Is he hearing the message that we heard from [Director of National Intelligence Daniel] Coats and [FBI Director Christopher A.] Wray and others in that press conference at the White House, or is hearing the message of the president of the United States? And I fear that the message that the Kremlin cares most about is what they hear from Donald Trump, and that is still one of denial and cover for the Russians."

The symptoms of these conditions include a delusional belief that it's the end of the world, a disorientation that's beyond the liberal norm, an unhealthy obsession with following every liberal news channel's apocalypse of the day, a deep sense of anxiety and dread, and being prone to unhinged hissy fits if anyone dares to besmirch the sterling reputation of either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama.
