And very shortly I expect a tweet or a lie from Spicer saying that the president* doesn’t even know who this guy is.

So which was “alleged”? The mob? Or the ties?

“Tofik is my friend!” Trump said, as quoted in the report. “Let’s toast Tofik!”

I have this idiotic image of this event happening stuck replaying in my head. It feels like it sums up where we are. There’s corrupt stupidity at the helm.

This can’t possibly be true.

As everyone knows, Donald has no friends.

“We have nothing for you at this time,” White House spokeswoman Stephanie A. Grisham told TPM in an email.
No, but I have this friend, see and he says Tor is experiencing delays this afternoon. But his call is important to them.

" lie from Spicer saying that the president* doesn’t even know who this guy is."
Not a lie. No lie. No lie.The President doesn’t know who the President is.

The same guy who got busted in Turkey with a yacht full of trafficked sex workers. All those dead hookers will catch up with Donnie yet.

Sigh. What’s become of the mafia?

I miss the days when they were actually professional. They would take loyalty oaths in blood and keep to the shadows meeting in secret. They would never, never allow a blowhard, loudmouth like Trump anywhere near them.

For that, they deserve to be completely uprooted. I can’t abide this sloppiness, this public display, this conspicuous consumption. Whatever happened to the simple, overall wearing plumber next door who was actually worth millions?

Nothing shows a clearer difference between Democrats and Republicans then who they celebrate birthdays with.

Whoever posts the customized red maga baseball caps, please post one that says “Tofik is my friend.”

Trump owns nothing in Russia, has no (cough) ties to Russia and doesn’t even know anyone there…except for his friend and benefactor in the mob, Putin, a certain Russian bank executive, several oligarchs, and the owners of some hotels.

Donnie likes felons. He enjoys spending time with them.

This reference can not be made enough!

I never pass up a chance to reference either Rocky and Bullwinkle or Bugs Bunny and the gang.

Sad - so much comics material - but so fricking serious consequences based on their actions. It seems like we are now living a ‘tragic-comic’ reality
