Watching Trump's name being chiseled off of a hotel in Panama may be the best thing you will see all day.

More than a dozen police wearing bulletproof vests entered the lobby of the Trump International Hotel in Panama on Monday morning and evicted the Trump Organization’s staff, a move that comes after weeks of simmering tensions over control of the property.

The Trump Organization manages the hotel in the 70-story tower overlooking the Punta Pacifica Peninsula and the new majority owner had gone to court in the U.S. and Panama to evict the company run by President Donald Trump’s sons. There were scuffles as police arrived to carry out the eviction, and Panamanian court officials were present. 

“I am the owner,” said Orestes Fintiklis, who last year obtained control over more than 200 units in the tower, as police and Trump employees pushed and shoved one another. “Love and peace!” 

Fintiklis gained access to the tower’s main office late Monday morning. The colorful property owner told reporters he would not be commenting about the morning’s actions at this point. He then played a song on the piano for the gathered onlookers with lyrics that, when translated, said, “Fascism will not prevail.” 

Okay I could watch that video all day long.

LITERALLY all day long. 

And I predict that this is just the beginning for Trump.

By the time his train wreck of a presidency has gone up in flames, NOBODY is going to want to be his business partner anymore, and his brand will join the likes of Benedict Arnold and Samuel Mudd, the man who treated Abraham Lincoln's assassin for a broken leg, as the very definition of a traitor to this country.

Ambassador to Panama resign citing inability to work with Trump.

The US ambassador to Panama has resigned from his post on principle, writing in a resignation letter to the State Department that he can no longer serve the Trump administration, according to Reuters. 

The US State Department confirmed the departure of John D Feeley, saying he decided to "retire for personal reasons, as of 9 March this year". 

"As a junior foreign service officer, I signed an oath to serve faithfully the President and his administration in an apolitical fashion, even when I might not agree with certain policies.

"My instructors made clear that if I believed I could not do that, I would be honour-bound to resign. That time has come," Mr Feeley said.

According to The Independent Feeley made this decision before the recent "shithole" comments were made public.

I would assume that once he heard that it only made this decision easier.

Now we have to wonder how much longer other ambassadors will be willing remain on the job while carrying the shame of being associated with the Trump Administration?

Robert Mueller issues subpoena for Russia related documents from Trump campaign.

Did that surprise you? Good.

Courtesy of NBC News: 

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has issued a subpoena to the Trump campaign asking multiple campaign officials to produce Russia-related documents, according to a source with first-hand knowledge of the matter. 

The subpoena was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which also said that the subpoena does not compel testimony by any of the officials. 

The source said the campaign has already turned over some 20,000 documents voluntarily, so it’s not clear why the subpoena was issued. A subpoena ratchets up the stakes for noncompliance.

The Journal reported that the Trump campaign had been caught by surprise by the subpoena.

I don't know about all of you, but I get a kind of thrill when I read that something Robert Mueller did caught the Trump White House of campaign "by surprise."

That just means that Mueller is keeping them off balance and on the defensive, and THAT is when people make mistakes.

As for why Mueller decided to issue these subpoenas, well that might have a little something to do with the fact that they discovered that Jared Kushner was holding out on them.

In other Trump/Russia collusion news it appears that the Trump Organization may have been using at least one of its hotels in Panama to launder Russian and mafia money.

A Panama City condo high-rise development that carried the Trump Organization’s marketing imprimatur in the late 2000s was “riddled” with drug traffickers and international mafia figures, beset with dubious sales, and became, as one financial-crimes investigator called it, a “a vehicle for money laundering.” A joint NBC News and Reuters investigation, along with a report issued by anti-corruption watchdog Global Watch, says transactions at the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower served as a laundering operation for Colombian cartel proceeds and Russian human traffickers, and Trump Organization officials did little if anything to question where the money was coming from. One key broker, Alexandre Henrique Ventura Nogueira—now a fugitive in Europe—told interviewers that President Trump and his adult children were directly involved in the marketing, management, and even the design of the skyscraper, which opened in 2011. Ventura Nogueira said he had at least 10 direct meetings with Ivanka Trump about the sales. Ivanka Trump didn’t respond to requests for comment. The White House referred questions to the Trump Organization, who legal counsel denied involvement in sales: “No one at the Trump Organization, including the Trump family, has any recollection of ever meeting or speaking with this individual.”

Of course they don't. Right up until the Mueller team discovers an email or document which proves they actually did speak or meet up with this individual. 

Tick tock.
