I can see your case. You may well be right.
You may have seen the post from a few days ago where I said that it seemed he was looking to offload responsibility without leaving fingerprints. When I came back to this thread, I was going to observe or state that it’s considerably more difficult to maintain an organizational reputation as a straight shooter than it is to just be a straight shooter. (carefully constructed, indeed.)
I can imagine he was angry, if only for the reason that he was supposed to be a shoo-in for “higher things”(read SCOTUS?)under the next Republican president, and now, for the foreseeable future, there may not BE another Republican president, except maybe Tulsi Gabbard or whoever’s left when everybody else is marched off to the Big House.
To paraphrase Oscar Hammerstein, there is nothing so bad for a _____ than a man who thinks he’s good.
I see it’s “Carousel”
With Comey around, don’t you think it should be Show Boat?
Trumpy Horror Picture Show.
Oscar did both so I guess it’s covered.
He might be facing a regular prosecutor.
Trump’s statements linking Russia investigation to Comey firing could lead to legal problems
If you check the records at the vet you’ll see that the dog was clean until it laid down with [insert GOP nom du jour].
Everything you post is fake news, Cupcake.
Everybody knows this–-except you.
You really can’t make this stuff up… from ABC
The lawyers who wrote a letter saying President Trump had no significant business ties to Russia work for a law firm that has extensive ties to Russia and received a “Russia Law Firm of the Year” award in 2016.
Had the same thought a few days ago.
- fails to recognize his own lack of skill - check
- fails to recognize the extent of his inadequacy - check
- fails to accurately gauge skill in others - check
- recognizes and acknowledges his own lack of skill only after he is exposed to training for that skill - check
On that last bullet, one only need refer back to Trump finding out, and announcing proudly to the rest of us, that healthcare is hard, that China can’t actually tell Kim Jong-un what to do, and so on. He finally figures out that he lacks the skills, but he assumes that everyone else does, as well.
…and embarrassed when his bad judgment was revealed.

da.
Another version from RocknRolla:
The American Kennel Club is pleased to announce two new breeds:
The Rosenstein is highly intelligent, yet affectionate, and perfect for a presidential lap dog. Although it has an aggressive, disciplined appearance, this domesticated creature is not suited for guarding people or the constitution.
The Putinpoodle is a mix of unknown origin. While not very bright, it adores attention and is great for entertaining one’s friends, impregnating their pets, and following around (nose-to-tail) truly big dogs.
I’m sure Rosenstein is wondering why he took the job. Good!
But those of us who remember Watergate (your not so humble servant among them) will tell you that it was a long, slow process. It took about 18 months from the first WAPO stories showing that it was more than a third-rate burglary until Nixon was forced out. And that was with Democratic majorities in both houses, and at least some Republicans (Howard Baker) who put patriotism above party.
Patience, friends.
Especially interference by Russian infiltrators.
Now he’s in-for-a-penny, in-for-a-pound with Sauron
Sauron was patient, ingenious, devious, planned for the long run, and was a formidable foe.
To me, Trump seems more like a Mauron.
We’re going to be pissed off if it turns out to be Lindsay Graham and John McCain, but beggars can’t be choosers.
