Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

At Vanity Fair, David Drucker has written a piece about the possible existence of a "shadow campaign" being run by Mike Pence, as he takes the lead on rallying the Republicans through midterms, becase that, like many other responsibilities of being president, is something in which Donald Trump has no interest.
Naturally, there are Republicans quick to assert that "dispatching the vice president is only logical," but, noting that Pence has built a political operation that now outmatches the president's, a "Republican insider and former leadership aide in Congress" told Drucker that Pence's maneuvering is "unusual. Most V.P. offices haven't dreamed of having separate political operations from that of the president of the United States."
Yes, well, most vice presidents aren't Mike Pence. Most vice presidents weren't about to lose their gubernatorial reelection before they were plucked to serve as second to a president who explicitly wanted a vice-president to "be in charge of domestic and foreign policy," leaving his boss free to "Make America great again," whatever that means on any given day.
The subhead on the Vanity Fair piece is: "Could Pence's ambition make him the president's next mortal enemy?" But that isn't the right question. The right question is whether Pence's ambition makes him the nation's next mortal enemy.
The whistleblower who leaked Michael Cohen’s financial records is stepping forward to say why: records of bigger, potentially more sensitive, swaths of suspicious transactions appeared to be missing from a government database. My @newyorker investigation:
North Korea probably not interested in a Libya like deal. Un doesn't want a stick up his ass

A man became enraged at a New York fast-casual restaurant and deli after apparently overhearing employees speaking Spanish — and threatened to call immigration authorities in a lengthy rant captured on video.
The incident, first reported by Gothamist, occurred Tuesday at the Fresh Kitchen in midtown Manhattan, according to video posted to social media by a man who said his wife was present at the time.
In the video, a tall dark-haired man wearing a white button-down shirt and gray slacks looks indignant as he confronts a bespectacled restaurant employee.
“Your staff is speaking Spanish to customers when they should be speaking English,” the man says, his brow furrowing.
As the restaurant worker tries to explain, the angry man interrupts him.
“Every person I listen to: He spoke it, he spoke it, she’s speaking it,” the man declares, turning around and pointing at various people in the restaurant. “This is America!”
