Comes to a halt because of the traffic is so bad. Yesterday the streets were empty. You look at this picture. There were people that did sidebyside comparisons with last year and this year. Last year, it was a mob scene. It shuts washington down. You cant move anywhere around. People are just disgusted. Guys, it was a nice, warm, mild evening. Yeah, there is no reason. Nobody showed up. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. That looks like the biggest proud i ever seen. A picture speaks a thousand words. A thousand empty seats at least. Thats a low turnout. That would be a very small crowd. Actually there is no dispute. Its so sad. People didnt show up. That will be like this crowd at donnys Birthday Party tonight. I feel a dispute brewing from the press briefing this afternoon.

Public. Also out in the open, the Justice Departments fisa warrant for the former trump adviser carter page has been redacted, but this line was clear as day, quote, the fbi believes that page has been collaborating and conspireing with the russian government. Also four republican judges obviously thought there was something there. With us we have mike barnacle, John Heilemann, knnick confesso, carol lee, benjamin wittis and Michael Schmidt. So, John Heilemann, i dont know if Trump Supporters digest twitter the way i digest twitter, but if they do, these days especially on summer weekends, theyre probably getting one line into his rantings and its like scrolling on. Been there, done that. But the amount of vitriol, the amount of just craziness, the level of unmored behavior by the president this weekend was over the top.
