Record Heat in Europe

I grew up in Europe, and that continent is totally unequipped to handle this: Europe heat: Temperature records are shattered in Europe, with Paris hitting all-time mark of 109 degrees

Almost no-one has air conditioning.

The Bottom Line

Unfortunately this didn't happen until the final moments of the hearing, but it should be in any anti-Trump ads next year...

Who is Covering the Mueller Hearings?

Don't call me. I'll be watching. Looks like I'll have a choice of stations.

According to Variety, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and C-SPAN will be covering it live.

The Fox News broadcast plans on redacting the Democrats with big black boxes over their faces during their questioning, and putting Snapchat filters on Mueller's face, and will play the Battle Hymn of the Republic during the Republicans questions.*



*Not really. But would it really surprise you?
