He’ll be suggesting capital punishment before the week is out, on Twitter.
Trump’s razor, applied in the sense of his boundless ego, implies that at a certain point Trump will remind people via Twitter that he controls the nukes.

Maybe he could be the guy he shoots on 5th Ave and the world discovers that nobody cares.

It’s going to be real interesting to hear all the dreck that boils to the surface when President Kompromat b.y. Emoluments is out of the country

I just hope the tire fire continues well into next summer. We could really use a Congress with 150 Republicans in total from both chambers

I won’t believe Donnie’s gone until they pull the national flag of Ivankastan down from the White House flagpole.

What about someone who somehow rose to the title of President of the USA and that someone reveals classified info to Russia? Should they be jailed? Asking for a friend, of course.

Well, since reporters are being jailed simply for asking the secretary of health and human services a question, naturally we can’t have a serious objection to jailing reporters who report government activity…

Interestingly, no journalist has ever been charged under the Espionage Act for publishing classified material. The reason is quite simple. No prosecution would stand up to a court challenge on First Amendment grounds. Courts have regularly held that the First Amendment means that the government cannot put prior restraints on what the press can or cannot publish. And that’s an end to it.

The Times, citing unnamed associates of Comey’s describing memos he kept recording his meetings with Trump, reported the discussion came in a meeting on Feb. 14.


Okies who’s good at Photoshop?

I need a picture of Trump as either an orange colored Moby Dick or dressed as Ahab.

Well, another day, another existential crisis that threatens the very foundation of our Republic.

I’m starting to get numb … any one of these blow-ups would have been catastrophic in the world B.T. (Before Trump). Now, they’re just part of the daily news cycle.

And the last one should be Mitch McConnell, so that he can be forever remembered as a Minority Leader of One.

“On Monday, the Washington Post reported that Trump himself had shared highly classified information with two top Russian officials during a closed-press meeting in the Oval Office the day after the Comey firing.”

I take umbrage with this passage from the article…

We all know that it was not a “closed-press meeting”… it was a “closed-to-AMERICAN-press meeting”, it was an “Open-to-RUSSIAN STATE MEDIA meeting”
