Filmmaker Michael Moore showed up Friday morning for a seven-minute segment on MSNBC's Morning Joe — and ended up staying for a commercial-free 45 minutes. In a wide-ranging conversation, Moore slammed Democrats for enabling Donald Trump's win by ignoring Rust Belt voters, but he predicted America would not actually "have to suffer" under Trump for the entirety of his four-year term. "He has no ideology, except the ideology of Donald J. Trump, and when you have a narcissist like that who is so narcissistic where it's all about him, he will — maybe unintentionally — break laws," Moore said. "He will break laws because he's only thinking about what's best for him." Moore indicated that Trump's narcissism will all but ensure the president-elect will not serve a full term, whether he resigns or is eventually impeached for breaking the law.

While it is Hillary Clinton and President Obama's duty to get behind President-elect Trump, Moore insisted the rest of America is free to "resist and oppose." "This is going to be a massive resistance," Moore said. Still, Moore noted, Democrats need to get more in tune with working class voters. Clinton "lost by 11,000 votes in Michigan," Moore said. "Ninety thousand Michiganders voted for every office and every ballot proposal on both sides of the ballot and refused to vote for president." Those voters refused to vote for Trump, Moore said, but they also "were not going to participate in what they saw as a system that had left them forgotten and at bay."

The U.K. Parliament voted Tuesday to accept Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit deal but reject his quick timetable.

Parliament first granted Johnson the win on his overall deal before saying it wouldn't fully adhere to the agreement in the next three days. That makes it unlikely Britain will pull out of the EU by the Oct. 31 deadline, BBC reports.

Johnson was already forced by law Saturday to ask the EU for an extension on the U.K.'s membership until January 2020. He said Tuesday he'll "pause" progress on his Brexit legislation until he hears back from the EU, but criticized Parliament for plunging the country into "further uncertainty."

Emily Thornberry of the opposition Labour Party meanwhile called the Oct. 31 deadline an "artificial timetable," per The Washington Post. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn meanwhile called Johnson "the author of his own misfortune," but did say he'd talk to Johnson to agree on a "sensible" timetable for the prime minister's deal to advance.

Amazon forked over $250 million for the television rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise with the hope of launching their own Game of Thrones-sized hit — and it's clear that they're doing everything possible to guarantee a return on their investment. And what better way to do that than to borrow as heavily as possible from Game of Thrones? Joseph Mawle, who played Benjen Stark on Game of Thrones, has been cast as the villain in Amazon's Lord of the Rings series. Rather surprisingly, his character's name is Oren, not Senjen Bark.

A key diplomat says he was told aid to Ukraine was dependent upon the country announcing investigations into the 2016 election and former Vice President Joe Biden, The Washington Post and The New York Times report.

Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, testified Tuesday before Congress as part of the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry, which is examining whether Trump abused the power of the presidency to push for investigations that he thought might help him in the 2020 presidential election and withheld aid to the country until such investigations took place. In previously released text messages, Taylor said it was "crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."

In his testimony, Taylor told lawmakers he spoke with U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who "told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President [Volodymyr] Zelensky to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election," the Post reports. Burisma is the gas company where Biden's son served on the board.

Taylor reportedly went on to testify that Sondland "told me that he now recognized that he had made a mistake by earlier telling the Ukrainian officials to whom he spoke that a White House meeting with President Zelensky was dependent on a public announcement of investigations — in fact, Amb. Sondland said, 'everything' was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance.'"

"Sighs and gasps" were reportedly heard throughout the room as Taylor delivered his lengthy opening statement, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) told the Post this was "the most damning testimony I've heard," while Rep. Stephen Lynch, (D-Mass.) told ABC News this is a "sea change," and it might "accelerate" the inquiry's timeline. Brendan Morrow

Russia and Turkey agreed to extend their ceasefire in northern Syria in order to "remove" Kurdish fighters from the area.

After a six-hour-long summit on Tuesday, the two countries agreed to form a "buffer zone" between Turkey and Syria, which is allied with Russia. But first, Turkey will give America's Kurdish allies six days to leave the area before it and Russia jointly begin patrolling it, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday.

Turkey views the Kurds, who are American allies, as a terrorist threat, and began attacking them within hours of President Trump announcing the U.S.'s withdrawal from the area. Trump later bragged that he'd brokered a five-day ceasefire between Turkey and the fighters. That ceasefire would've expired Tuesday, but now, Turkey has said it will not attack the Kurds for another 150 hours as it forces them out of the land they've long fought to hold on to.

Russia and its ally Syria have also said they'll start "removing Kurdish militias from the border region beginning at noon Wednesday," per The Washington Post. The area will then become a neutral zone between Syria and Turkey, expanding upon a narrower strip of Turkey's border that the U.S. and the country had agreed to establish as a buffer.

Lori Loughlin has just been hit with a brand new charge in the college admissions scandal.

The Full House actress and 10 other parents were charged by a grand jury Tuesday for having allegedly "conspired to commit federal program bribery by bribing employees of the University of Southern California (USC) to facilitate their children's admission," ABC News and CNN report.

Loughlin had previously been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud after being arrested in March for her role in what the Department of Justice has said is the largest college admissions scandal it has ever prosecuted. Prosecutors say Loughlin paid $500,000 to have her daughters falsely admitted to the University of Southern California as rowing recruits despite not being rowers.

She's one of the two most high-profile parents charged in the scandal, with the other being Felicity Huffman, who pleaded guilty and is currently serving two weeks in prison. Unlike Huffman, Loughlin has pleaded not guilty. When Huffman received her 14-day sentence, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig described this as "very bad news" for Loughlin, since this sentence would likely be the "absolute floor." TMZ reported Tuesday, though, that prosecutors are "open to plea discussions" with Loughlin.

In a statement Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said, "Our goal from the beginning has been to hold the defendants fully accountable for corrupting the college admissions process through cheating, bribery and fraud. The superseding indictments will further that effort." Brendan Morrow

President Trump makes the rules. All of them.

Trump went after the Emoluments Clause on Monday, calling the Constitutional rule that bars presidents from profiting from their office "phony." But before that, he reportedly tried to ditch another major rule that bars executive malfeasance, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Back before his June rally in Orlando, Trump was pushing to bring Cabinet officials along to the event, which would launch his 2020 campaign, people present during the conversation tell the Journal. But Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney reportedly warned Trump against it, telling him it could result in violations of the Hatch Act, which bars executive branch employees from engaging in certain political activities. Cabinet officials and reelection launch rallies would likely fall under that designation.

But Trump reportedly didn't care, telling Mulvaney "I'm in charge of the Hatch Act" while surrounded by other top aides. He then called Mulvaney "weak," the people in the room tell the Journal. While it doesn't appear Trump actually said he'd listened to Mulvaney's suggestion, he did eventually drop the idea of bringing his Cabinet to the rally.
