Yes, let the wolf report on when it raids the hen house. The very banks that caused the financial meltdown can be trusted to behave? How can this make sense to a Dump supporter? Oh yeah, it's got to be fake news, right? Wrong. This reports comes right from the wolf's fanged and foaming mouth, the top Wall Street cop. Seriously, WTF?

IRS releases info to the Russia investigation
Yes, Mueller wants to see tax returns from the Dump administration and campaign. As to whose returns they want to see remains to be seen. I hope they look at Dump's personal returns to catch him with Russia up his wazoo.

Mammalian empathy: behavioral manifestions and neural basis
Continuing the last post, another article on the topic. The abstract:
"Recent research on empathy in humans and other mammals seeks to dissociate emotional and cognitive empathy. These forms, however, remain interconnected in evolution, across species and at the level of neural mechanisms. New data have facilitated the development of empathy models such as the perception–action model (PAM) and mirror-neuron theories. According to the PAM, the emotional states of others are understood through personal, embodied representations that allow empathy and accuracy to increase based on the observer's past experiences. In this Review, we discuss the latest evidence from studies carried out across a wide range of species, including studies on yawn contagion, consolation, aid-giving and contagious physiological affect, and we summarize neuroscientific data on representations related to another's state."
From the conclusion:

Brain imaging reveals the neural roots of caring
From this article:
"Patterns associated with empathic care, for instance, overlapped with systems in the brain associated with value and reward, such as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and the medial orbitofrontal cortex. In contrast, patterns of empathic distress overlapped with systems in the brain known for mirroring, such as the premotor cortex and the primary and secondary somatosensory cortices, which help an individual simulate or imagine what another person is feeling or thinking."

Sanders on Dump's Puerto Rico diaster
Dump actually said that Puerto Ricans "want everything to be done for them." Still with this cruel and callous Repugnantan ideological sentiment that poor people can't get off their lazy asses and do it for themselves. It's a complete lack of humanity from those who have never had to work a day in their lives so are bereft of any compassion for those in need. Sanders of course sets this sick bastard straight.
Also addressed are the Dump tax plan, the NFL protest and healthcare.

The media is anti-idiot, not anti-Dump
Poor little Donnie is upset because the media reports on his incessant idiocy. So it must be mean fake news, right? Wrong! It's you who are the problem you Biggest Stinking Pile of Dump that has blocked up the American toilet and just can't be re-opened without another election. Or perhaps Congress or the Administration will grow some spine and snake this shit out of the Blight House?
Another close encounter
SNL does version 2 of their alien abduction skit with Ryan Gosling again. And again it's LOL funny.
