RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY GENE FOR AWFULNESS
LEEDS (The Borowitz Report)—In a finding that has wide-ranging implications for society, British researchers at the University of Leeds announced on Saturday that they have identified the gene for awfulness.
The study, which focused on one adult male and three of his adult children, makes a persuasive argument that there is a “powerful dominant gene” that makes people heinous.
“When we began our research, we wanted to find an adult male with pronounced characteristics of horribleness,” Alistair Dorrinson, the scientist who led the study, said. “In studying three of his adult offspring, we found that they were all carriers of the gene that makes one smug, tone-deaf, and oblivious to the fate of others.”
Additionally, certain sub-traits of awfulness, such as an inability to tell the truth, appear to be genetically mediated, Dorrinson said.
“If the father is unable to explain honestly why a meeting took place, for example, the son who carries the same gene will also tell crazy lies about that meeting,” he said.
Hopes that the gene for horribleness might eventually become diluted as its carriers mate with the general population were dashed when the scientists studied the mating history of the adult daughter in the sample group.
“Unfortunately, those who carry the gene for awfulness are more likely to reproduce with other carriers of the same gene,” the scientist said.

Fox & Friends Hurriedly Shuts Down Interview as Trump Rants About Mueller
EXTRACTS:
In what is surely a first for a news network, the hosts of Donald Trump’s favorite variety show, Fox & Friends, hurriedly ended an interview with the president Thursday morning as Trump began ranting about Robert Mueller and threatening to seize control of the Justice Department.
“You look at the corruption at the top of the F.B.I. - it’s a disgrace ... And our Justice Department - which I try and stay away from, but at some point I won’t - our Justice Department should be looking at that kind of stuff, not the nonsense of collusion with Russia.”
Trump’s burning anger could come at the expense of his current legal-defense strategy.
By impugning the F.B.I. and threatening to intervene at the Justice Department, Trump may have just given his adversaries more legal ammunition.
He may also have undermined his case in more roundabout ways: he referred to his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen as having done a “tiny, tiny little fraction of my legal work” - an apparent attempt to distance himself from Cohen, who he admitted represented him in “this crazy Stormy Daniels deal.”
Michael Avenatti, Daniels’s lawyer, immediately called the admission a “gift from the heavens” and “hugely damaging”: not only did Trump’s statement suggest he was aware that Cohen had paid hush money to Daniels, it also undercut Cohen’s argument that his communications with Trump, recently seized by the F.B.I., are protected by attorney-client privilege.
... One wonders how Trump’s own lawyers, who joined Cohen’s argument last week, are feeling about their client pouring napalm on their defense.
Political suicide. 
I would recommend reading the full article.

I agree 100% - read the full article.
And many thanks, Mauricio. The clip about Trump's ranting on Fox and Friends is an incredible watch. I never expected to see such dedicated Trump Trolls as those three visibly discomfited by their Dear Leader's ravings.

Trump threatens opponents of USA's World Cup bid
US President Donald Trump has used Twitter to issue a thinly veiled threat to opponents of his country's joint bid, with Mexico and Canada, to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
More gunboat diplomacy from President Spanky - he's really excelling himself today.
