In addition to the possibility of suggesting the president submit written responses in place of an interview, a second person familiar with the president’s legal strategy said another possibility being contemplated was an affidavit signed by the president affirming he was innocent of any wrongdoing and denying any collusion. I can't breath I'm laughing so hard!!!!! Its totes ok to write a letter to prosecutors telling them "nothing to see here, I'm COMPLETELY innocent". I'm surprised more criminals dont go this route. These people can't competently complete a SF-86. Like we're going to trust them to submit written testimony. So they can then blame any errors or inconsistencies on the people who helped them fill the answers out?

Can we stop for a second and talk about Oprah? Because I love her, BUT do NOT want her as president. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? And the morning shows are all about debating if shes going to run. I'm sitting here like please no. So much this! I want a person qualified to be a world leader because they have some sort or governing or political experience. Oprah is badass, but she does not have the requisite experience that the most powerful person I. The Free world should have. And writing that made me even sadder that Trump is currently in that position.

OMG. How did that make it past marketing? A lot of the fast fashion places have put out some really offensive stuff though. Zara is a huge offender.

My kids have had school twice since December 15. Two days. I can’t believe FFX is closed again. DS is going to be at school for a total of 6 days or less in January between snow days, a trip to Disney, and a two day doctor appointment out of state. 😕

But I will say that I think she is a fucking badass and I can only hope to be 1/10th of the champion she is. What an amazing role model.

Oprah considering a run isn't new to me, I feel like I have heard rumblings for years. I am in no way surprised by this.
I will say this, while I think we need someone with experience in politics, especially to get us out of the messes Trump has and will get us into, she would do 45896894904590490590595 times better a job than him.
That's all I can say about it right now.

I think it would be great if Oprah ran for something local in government and started there. And I think she could be a strong supporter for the 2020 Dem candidate, but not president. I hope the 2020 candidate has a good political background to fix the dump they're walking into.

She’s brilliant, empathetic, diplomatic, self-made with great business sense, and beloved around the world.

Right. Just because people are #OprahforPrez on Twitter does not mean it's a good idea. Also we need to maintain our perspective in this bizarro world. "Better than Trump" is NOT "good enough" Agreed. The bar has to be higher. I think I've said this before but when W ran and I was talking to a coworker who liked him because "he sounds like me, a normal guy, not some smartypants know it all", I was slack jawed at that. At what point did we decide the pres has to be 'typical' and not held to a higher standard, of intelligence, of morality, of decency? For me personally, I WANT my leaders to be smarter than the average guy, I want them to be able to learn, I want them to surround themselves with even smarter people. It doesnt make me dumb or stupid to have a leader that is smarter than I.

This is cracking me up
"Obviously, the media learned the lesson of 2016 and won't give disporportionate attention to a celebrity candidate who has never....OH MY GOD, IT'S OPRAH."

I'm sitting here like please no. We need someone who knows what they are doing. A TV celebrity is not the answer. Come on people. Excuse me, Oprah is not just some common TV celebrity. She is motherfucking Oprah. She probably could end wars with a speech. (Mostly joking, I have no feelings on her running or not running, I just want to live forever in the warmth and comfort of her speech last night.)

Like I said I love her. I think she's fantastic. but we need, NEED a seasoned leader. I would totally be behind her for a Senate seat, but POTUS.... ehhhhhh no.

I fell asleep right as Oprah was walking on stage last night. I need to YouTube it. I watched Oprah and the Miller interview this morning. What a contrast.

We are going to need an even better & more experienced leader than usual after the Trump admin is finished. Going to be a lot of damage to attempt to clean up.
