JOHN BRENNAN. Trump attacks former CIA director who called him “treasonous.” “I think Brennan is a very bad guy, and if you look at it, a lot of things happened under his watch. I think he’s a very bad person.”
MICHAEL COHEN. Former Trump lawyer opposes him on Russian interference.
As I said to @ABC @GStephanopoulos, “I respect our nation’s intelligence agencies who determined that Russia, had in fact, interfered or meddled in our democratic process. I repudiate Russia’s effort…and call on all Americans to do the same.”

CALIFORNIA. Democrat narrowly leads hideous anti-gay Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: “Democratic nominee Harley Rouda narrowly leads Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) in one of California’s most competitive House races this cycle, according to a new poll. A Monmouth University Poll released Tuesday found Rouda ahead of Rohrabacher by 3 points, 46 to 43 percent, among all potential voters. Rouda’s small lead is within the survey’s margin of error, of 4.9 percentage points.”
LEBANON. Court of Appeals rules homosexuality is not a crime: “In a progressive and momentous ruling, on July 12, 2018 a Lebanese Court of Appeals in Mount Lebanon as presided over by Judge Randa Khoury issued a new judgment holding that homosexuality is not a crime. This came as a re-examination of Article 534 of the Lebanese Penal Code (which prohibits having sexual relations that are “contradicting to the laws of nature” – an interpretation that many previously used to prosecute people suspected of homosexuality).”
CELEBRITY BEEFCAKE OF THE DAY. Michael B. Jordan.

But that’s beside the point, because today is World Emoji Day and we are […]

Armie Hammer: Fans Keep Asking Me to Sign Peaches, Even Though They’ll ‘Wither Like Donald Trump’s Presidency’ – WATCH
Armie Hammer: Fans Keep Asking Me to Sign Peaches, Even Though They’ll ‘Wither Like Donald Trump’s Presidency’ – WATCH
Armie Hammer, who is starring in a new Broadway show called Straight White Men, stopped by The Late Show to chat with Stephen Colbert, and the convo turned to the gay drama Call Me By Your Name.
Hammer told Colbert that fans keep giving him peaches (as Colbert advises, “watch the film”) to sign.
Said Hammer: “I get handed at least a peach or two every stage door.”
Hammer said that most people don’t intend to eat the peaches, or use them the way they do in the film.
Hammer said he asks the fans what they’re going to do with it: “They’re going to put that peach on a shelf…and in ten days it’s going to putrefy and their entire place it’s going to be full of fruit flies.”
Added Colbert: “It’s an art installation.”
Quipped Hammer: “Yeah. Watch it wither like Donald Trump’s presidency.”
Colbert didn’t miss a beat: “Well, with Donald Trump’s presidency, like that peach, we are f**ked.”
Watch:
