Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

The worry from a few sources seems to be that Trump could remove the funding from the investigation, rending it toothless, without actually firing anyone...
Devin Nunes is trying similar with the House investigation. He’s spreading their resources as thin as he can with investigations into all of Trump’s distraction conspiracies.
I don't think the Republicans in Congress would allow it....

Surely it's gone way too far for that to feasibly happen now. Had they beaten the investigation team to it, maybe they could have pushed the idea that it was a lot of effort and didn't appear to be producing anything of value. After Monday, that's an uphill battle and it would raise hell if they tried to play with it now. He's already losing more and more support, and he'd need way more than just his core support of wackos to meaningfully obstruct the investigation without experiencing serious blowback.

USA Today put together a timeline of the times when Papadopoulos tried to make many meetings happen between Trump's campaign and Russia.

Who actually owns twitter?
Diluted like many large corporations. Asset managers Vanguard and Clearbridge are largest holders with 6.5% and 5% respectively. Evan Williams (co-founder) is next at around 5% too, and CEO/Founder Jack Dorsey owns 2.1%. Alwaleed Bin Talal (Saudi prince / billionaire) just under 5% too.
Doesn't add up to much. They're a struggling company, not in a great position to say 'no' to dubious propositions (not that companies that are in good positions don't also enter many of those).
In short its a publicly traded company like most of the rest of them.

So does this just about confirm Clovis is a witness?
Clovis was problematic from the beginning. He doesn't really have a background in what he was nominated for. Also, he was Papadopolous' boss during the campaign and its quite likely that George has dimed him out to the FBI for anything that may have happened during the campaign - so Trump wouldn't want to deal with that sort of drama going forward.
Yeah I read about his lack of credentials. Quite shocking that this guy was considered for the agriculture job but just sums up Trump's presidency. I'm hoping he's flipped and the stories of him cooperating are true.

I dont understand how Twitter struggles to make money
Twitter has barely 16% of the user base Facebook has.
Whats more, advertisers know that:
A. a good percentage of active users are bots.
B. a good percentage of active users are there to sell their own product (and themselves)
C. the Twitter user base demographics is more focused than Facebook. People tend to follow people for specific reasons - News, Sport, Celeb, Technology, Music. Good for advertisers that want to target those areas but as it's focused they're not competing with hundreds of other industries for ad space like they are on Facebook.
D. The format makes it a lot harder to sneak in and get people watching video adverts like Facebook do (and charge a premium for).

Sessions just magically remembered something new....Worst. crooks. ever.
Hopefully Beauregard doesn't cock this up and get himself sacked. We need a recused Sessions to stay in office so it doesn't disrupt the Mueller probe.

It’s been deleted, what did it say?
The tweet you posted yesterday made me about something like that. The Ukraine story rung a lot of bells.

I realise it's best his sorry recused ass stays put but the fact is that he's either grossly untrustworthy for that position or he is grossly incompetent if he can't remember multiple events that happened within the last 12 months.
Now this is a hell of a birthday gift 
I hope you get this and everything else you desire trump relatedNow this is a hell of a birthday gift

"I'm innocent"
- every prisoner ever
How are we doing in Wisconsin? What's the situation in Madison? Where's that town in Florida? Are we spending enough in Michigan? Is NC north or south? Why do Pennsylvania's like fries in salads?
Ligitimate questions.
Should we discuss with Russia?
Not so much.

Yeah. But it's Manafort.
