'"Im not for impeachment," Pelosi told The Post.

"This is news. I'm going to give you some news right now because I haven't said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I've been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path, because it divides the country."

"And he's just not worth it," Pelosi said.

When a Post reporter asked her if Trump was "fit to be president," Pelosi said, "Are we talking ethically? Intellectually? Politically? What are we talking here?"

"All -- All of the above. No. No. I don't think he is. I mean, ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit," Pelosi said. "No, I don't think he's fit to be president of the United States."

The White House had no immediate comment on Pelosi's remarks..

 Based on Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a $2 Trillion cut (over ten years). But, do not worry it could be less if Obamacare is repealed, and you look at the reductions in Medicaid are just being re-prioritize, and medical resident training teased out of Medicare and set up as a new/separate account.

 Then the cuts are "only" about $1 trillion, with a $236 Billion net cut in Medicare.  Oh, and Trump said he would not cut Medicare/Social Security etc.

Manafort's sentencing involves a surprising amount of math.

The former Trump campaign chairman was sentenced to 47 months in prison in Virginia last week. However, the judge gave him credit for nine months he has already spent behind bars. This means Manafort only has 38 months remaining.

Judge Berman Jackson sentenced him on two counts. One was for 60 months in prison and the second was for 13 months in prison for a total of 73 months.

However, 30 of those months will be served concurrently with his sentence in Virginia. The rest will be served consecutively. This means it is only an effective addition of 43 months to his sentence.

This means that Manafort was effectively sentenced to 90 months in jail combining the 47 months in Virginia and the 43 in Washington DC. He has already served nine of those months and thus 81 months remaining to be served.

FFormer acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker attempted to clean up prior statements he made under oath before Congress during a Wednesday meeting with House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler (D-NY).

Speaking with reporters, Nadler said there were three main takeaways from the meeting.

"One, unlike in the hearing room, Mr. Whitaker did not deny that the president called him to discuss Michael Cohen, the Michael Cohen case, and personnel decisions in the Southern District," Nadler said.

"Two, while he was acting Attorney General, Mr. Whitaker was directly involved in conversations about whether to fire one or more U.S. Attorneys," he continued.

"Three, while he was acting Attorney General, Mr. Whittaker was involved in conversations about the scope of Southern District New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman and his recusal, and whether or not the Southern District went too far in pursuing the campaign finance investigation in which the president was listed as individual number one," Nadler added. "Those were the three takeaways from today."

MSNBC analyst Elise Jordan joined Wallace for analysis.

"This all but guaranteeing, Elise, that Matt Whittaker is now a witness -- and perhaps he already was -- in the obstruction of justice investigation into Donald Trump out of the main DOJ, the [Robert] Mueller office and perhaps one also at SDNY," Wallace noted

Shortly after release of this tape Nixon resigned in the face of inevitable.

Just reading  the description of the video made me physically nauseous, I don't recommend it.

The French taco, which bears little resemblance to anything Mexican, is a cross between a grilled panini, wrap and kebab, with everything sealed inside a vast rectangular parcel - fries included. There is often a pile-up of different meats jostling together, such as chicken nuggets and merguez sausage, and several sauces.

I beg to differ with this:

The exact origin of the French taco is shrouded in myth, but it is believed to have been born 15 years ago in a kebab shop on the outskirts of Lyon as an experiment in combining a kebab and a wrap.

2020 Dems warm to expanding Supreme Court
A series of White House hopefuls are expressing new interest in remaking the courts -- payback for Republican aggression during the Obama presidency.

While neither Conway would admit it, it's hard not to wonder if this whole persona is a grift of some kind -- a way for George to elevate his profile and formulate a fairly easy exit strategy for his wife, should the Mueller investigation prove damning, or should Trump face impeachment or simply lose his bid for reelection. I can already picture the heartfelt interview with the Conways on Fox News, where they reveal that Kellyanne actually shared George's concerns the whole time. She was just trying to do her job, but George operated as the family's moral compass, they might say. Perhaps the claim would even be floated that the anonymous New York Times warning was penned by Kellyanne.

Slightly bigger things like dumping Judge Jeanine and hiring Donna Brazile.

Then there is this, the new FOX.

they are selling pretty much everything except the news, a couple of sports channels and the historic "back lot" to Disney and bringing on new people including the the younger Murdoch's and Paul Ryan.

Just interesting.

The spinoff completed early Tuesday is part of a multi-pronged process that will culminate with the $71.3-billion sale of the rest of Murdoch's entertainment company to Walt Disney Co. The company announced that it had finished the process of issuing shares in the new Fox Corp. to investors of 21st Century Fox.

Disney is buying the 20th Century Fox movie and television studios with their rich vault of titles, including "Modern Family," "The Simpsons," "Avatar" and "Deadpool." The goal is to ramp up a programming pipeline for a new streaming service, called Disney+, that the company plans to launch this year.
Other Fox assets going to Disney include the FX and National Geographic channels, international television assets, including Star India, and Fox's 30% stake in streaming service Hulu, which will give Disney the controlling interest in that growing business.
