Was it from a rolled up issue found in trump’s bedroom? Asking for a friend.

The Trump Administration’s anti-American stance is matched only by its incompetence.

Trump runs to the library the night before the big term paper is due and cribs the first list he finds. His assignment was to mete out punishment but he misses the point and provides some deterrence gobblydook smokescreen justifying doing nothing. No more thought or concern. Grade: F.

They copied from Forbes? Sounds like it would be good enough to spank Trump with, if you catch my drift.

trump sure got his marching orders from the Russians in Davos didn’t he? Wonder if his throat is sore.

Also too: Re: Josh’s post on trump wanting to prosecute Mueller. We have officially reached the tipping point folks. The hammer should be coming down soon.

Let’s take some bets: Wednesday or Friday? Which will it be?

It’s not like we have a CIA or NSA or other agencies that might have significant information and resources about Russia. But to use them would necessarily imply accepting their belief in Russia’s interference in our elections as well as collusion.

Oh well, at least he didn’t use RT as his primary source.

Just one good indictment would wipe the SOTU off the board. I’ll go Wednesday.

If Sessions actually tries to prosecute Mueller and his team, all holy hell will break loose. I read the Howard Fineman piece and am glad that it is out in the open. It is bad enough that he is trying to discredit the FBI with help from Comrade Nunes, Goetz, Jordan and their feckless leader Paul Ryan. Trump is delusional and while it is not out of the realm of possible, I don’t think Sessions is stupid enough to prosecute Mueller. What would be the crime?

ETA: Once the “memo” is released, the glow of the SOTU will also be dimmed. Trump will release it

I guess it depends on how fucked he is and how he decides to go down. He may not be stupid enough but he could be desperate enough.

The in-your-faceness of this says they think they’re untouchable. The sloppy incompetence of it says they might be more touchable than they realize.

our government is a complete farce, I would change the tax withholding from my paycheck to make sure that the feds get NADA until I decide what their services are worth if my bookkeeper wife would allow me

and taking the nation with him

I’d heap most of where we are at on the repube party and their lust for greed and power interfering with the execution of their constitutional duties

This move is the sweet spot of refusing to comply with orders and not having to do their homework.

Now there’s a reason to have a Twitter account. I have one, but I never use it other than to be able to look at something like this suggested by someone and follow cool people though I hardly ever get on it unless I see a good reason to. Very cool for me as I too have escaped & survived a nasty little narcissist. Mine was covert, trump is overt but this Hoarse Whisperer person knows what they’re talking about when it comes to experiencing one and how to navigate it. If I had only known then, what I had to learn the hard way…

Awww…cut him a break. Presidenting is hard. He’s still new at this…Besides, it takes so much time away from constantly tweeting inane bullshit that no one gives a shit about except him.
