SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:08 P.M. ET: 

THIS MAN IS NUTS – FROM BREITBART:  Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” billionaire hedge fund manager and liberal activist Tom Steyer said President Donald Trump had already “met the grounds for impeachment.”  Partial transcript as follows:   TODD: Where would you prioritize impeachment right now for the new Democratic House? You think it’s front and center, don’t you?  STEYER: I think it’s an absolute first step to getting towards a positive vision for the country. And let me say this.  TODD: You would start with impeachment? If you with Elijah Cummings, well, he’s on Oversight. So Judiciary Committee, you would start drawing up these articles? STEYER: I think there’s no question that this president has both met the grounds for impeachment and that it’s urgent to get him out of office and everything. I was just listening to the last segment when you were talking about Saudi Arabia. Is there anybody in the United States who can tell you that the president is acting on Saudi Arabia not because the Saudis are paying him money?  Note the absolute lack of any evidence.  Who needs evidence when you're a billionaire?  I'm reminded of the old saying, "When you're rich they think you really know."  It isn't always true.

ANOTHER PERSON OF DUBIOUS STABILITY – FROM FOX:  Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, tweeted Sunday that the use of tear gas against Central American migrants who attempted to enter the U.S. illegally may have been a violation of international agreements governing the use of chemical weapons -- before he backtracked.  The Associated Press reported that U.S. agents shot several rounds of the gas after migrants tried to penetrate several points along the border at the San Ysidro border crossing between Tijuana, Mexico, and California. Migrants sought to squeeze through gaps in wire, climb over fences and peel back metal sheeting to enter.  In response to the reports, Schatz initially tweeted: "Tear gas across the border against unarmed families is a new low." Approximately 45 minutes later, Schatz tweeted: "Who gave the order? Did it implement or contravene policy?" He then tweeted "WHO GAVE THE ORDER?" in all caps.Schatz then asked: "Why tear gas? Is this consistent with the Conventions on Chemical Weapons?"  Another crazed liberal in need of medication covered by Obamacare.  He might ask who gave the order for "migrants" to charge the border.

WEDDING NEWS – FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER:   MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski tied the knot in a secret Saturday ceremony officiated by a top Democratic congressman in the rotunda of the National Archives.  Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., married Brzezinski, 51, and Scarborough, 55, in an intimate affair set in the historic building, according to Vanity Fair. Cummings, who is likely the next chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is a former colleague of Scarborough's, dating back to when the TV personality served as a Republican congressman from Florida.  The bride, wearing a lace Michelle Smith dress, met the groom in the middle of the rotunda to Handel’s “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.” They then said their vows in front of a small group of family and friends, including Scarborough's four children from his two previous marriages and Brzezinski's two daughters with her ex-husband. Brzezinski’s daughter Emilie’s dog was also in attendance, providing Brzezinski’s "something blue" with the color of its leash.  How close is the media to the Democratic Party?  So close that Democratic congressmen officiate at their weddings?  I think I've seen everything.
