Not one firearm capable of firing a foam bullet has been found on or near the person of any protester in Los Angeles by any journalist.

So Erin Burnett is (a) falsely reporting that peaceful protestors are armed, and (b) falsely accusing peaceful protestors of being the cause of police misconduct.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?

Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

The idea of filing inevitably doomed articles of impeachment against Chief Judge Boasberg of DC is worse than absurd. It’s a way of saying you don’t respect the rule of law, don’t believe in checks and balances, and don’t understand — or have utter contempt for — the United States Constitution.
