President Donald Trump is blaming senior aides and political operatives for a faltering midterm strategy, questioning campaign spending, faulting redistricting and second-guessing candidate choices as Republicans fight to retain control of Congress, said three people familiar with internal discussions.


President Donald Trump is now operating as the chief prosecutor of the United States: he has the exclusive authority to decide who is investigated or prosecuted by the Department of Justice. This is what Trump himself has repeatedly suggested;[1] it is what his Department of Justice has confirmed;[2] and it is what the Supreme Court has held the Constitution establishes.[3] Here, we examine the constitutional, legal, and ethical constraints on the president when he exercises his power as chief prosecutor by choosing a particular person to be investigated or prosecuted.

...
Sister got bit by a copperhead snake in the woods behind the house

And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out

Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down

But I'd started off my teenage years with the poison in my mouth

[Chorus]
Leave the lights on
Cause it might be nighttime when I get there
When I'm on my way home

Leave the the lights on
Cause it might be nighttime when I get there
And I'm on my way home
...


Yeah, I remember telling that to my parents back in the day ...

...
I don't know which way the river bends
But I'll follow it to the bitter end
Across that ocean, bent and broken
Just to find you my friend

Sometimes all the wheels can just fall right off
The price is too high to afford the cost
But there's no need to feel like all is lost

I'll take you home
Right through the storm to your front door
You're not alone you will never have to fear 'cause
I will always be right here with you (you, you)
I will always be right here with you
...
