#TrumpDebateExcuses mercilessly mocks Donald Trump’s debate complaints
After GOP nominee Donald Trump began complaining about the general election debate schedule that was set by the debate commission years ago, he then began generating false excuses as to why the schedule conflicted with him.
“I got a letter from the NFL saying, ‘this is ridiculous, why are the debates against — because the NFL doesn’t want to go against the debates,” Trump told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.
It’s unclear if Trump is beginning to realize his foreign policy chops aren’t up to snuff. After all, Trump made a substantial flub in the same interview, claiming Russia will stay out of Ukraine despite Russia already having a presence in Ukraine.
Twitter responded to the whole ordeal in the way that only Twitter can: With a brilliant hashtag mocking the candidate. Here is a selection of the best.

Democrats ‘are being more republican than Republicans’ in Judiciary Committee memo: Post columnist
A Washington Post editorial is singing the praises of the Judiciary Committee's memo about the impeachment charges President Donald Trump is facing. The memo, titled “Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment” details the fundamental principles of the Constitution the founders outlined to guarantee the country wouldn't fall at the hands of corruption.
"The memo is remarkably originalist. Regardless of what happens with the impeachment, we are getting a much-needed civics lesson," The Post explained.

Victim of Stephen Miller policy was murdered and dismembered — his body was found in 2 suitcases
Controversial White House advisor Stephen Miller has pushed President Donald Trump to enact harsh immigration policies, which are getting more attention after a grisly murder.
"A 35-year-old man from El Salvador returned to Mexico under a controversial Trump administration program was brutally murdered in Tijuana while waiting for an outcome to his U.S. asylum case, according to his family’s attorney,'" The Sand Diego Union-Tribune reported Friday. "During a seven-month period, the man and his family repeatedly told U.S. officials — including a San Diego immigration court judge, officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection — that they were not safe in Tijuana, the lawyer said."
So far, 52.3 percent of Americans believe that President Donald Trump should be impeached. Major newspapers are following the public outcry as well.
