MacFarlane: I'm going to be surprised if Trump fights the court ruling tooth and nail… the media ban is starving him of his oxygen, which is media attention. I'm not sure how much he wants this ban to persist himself.

MacFarlane: The subtle delta that some Republicans are trying to draw between themselves and Trump is just that. It's very subtle. You saw the Mike Rogers video, you saw Tom Tiffany. They weren't calling Trump out by name. They're just saying the war should end soon. We saw Roger Marshall, the Kansas senator who's in a tough reelection fight distance himself with Trump on immigration issues. But he didn't name check Trump. This is not a moment for subtlety.  These statewide candidates, especially in the midwest, who need to win independent votes, need to win democratic votes if they're going to do that with a 33% approval rating for Trump, they have to be less subtle.

MacFarlane: The July 8th slush fund court hearing, it's enormous. The judge has frozen that slush fund, saying she wants the DOJ to put it on paper that the slush fund is not moving forward. The DOJ has refused to do so…

MacFarlane: I feel like all of this was doomed to fail at the Great American State Fair the second Milli Vanilli canceled. Only bad things happen when Milli Vanilli cancels on you. It’s going to be a chapter of the story of Trump that’s titled, Milli Vanilli Canceled on Trump, but He Persevered. Yes. Here’s the thing. I’ve got an official document here. I’ve got a Post-it note that lists all the important dates coming up soon on Trump vanity projects. It’s put-up-or-shut-up time. July 8, he’s going to be in court—or his Department of Justice will be in court—on the slush fund. July 9, the Department of Justice, has to actually put on paper what it says people did at the reflecting pool. That’s the deadline to charge people either with minor water touching or some type of felonious box-cutter assault. Then, in mid-July, he’s got to answer for the tarp on the Kennedy Center. The judge wants to know why the tarp is still up there and when the tarp is coming down. There’s an Epstein file deadline this week….
