If Obama had perfected a cure for cancer Trump would be instructing the FDA to refuse approval of the treatment.*

If Obama had come out against eating feces, Trump would be enthusiastically eating his own turds live on Fox.

Jennifer Rubin. I am frequently agreeing with Jennifer Rubin. It’s come to this.

What’s really sad is that I can’t think of a single prominent Democratic elected official who’s as publicly savage in their criticisms of Trump and the GOP as Rubin is. They could learn a thing or two about rhetoric from her.

In this case no. Iran and Russia are attached at the hip, and the Russians ran serious interference during the negotiations.

Lavrov has repeatedly said the deal should stand, and that Russia backs it. But Russia somehow seemed to know this was coming. Yesterday, Putin came out with this:

@socalista Mattis is an Iran hawk but he is generally (if begrudgingly) in favor of the Iran deal.

Why do you think the Saudi King is in Russia?

It isn’t for the Borscht. It’s for nukes. Trump doesn’t even see that he is playing marbles while Putin slowly wraps his hands around the Middle East.

I used to think we were a nation of laws. I realize now that the POTUS is a dictator wrapped in the guise of democracy, as long as he has a gaggle of feckless lickspittles for a Congress.

Yep. It’s a (Republican political consultant) Rick Wilson-ism. x.com

He’s currently raising funds for a movie of the same name.

They say Russians play chess while Americans play checkers. That used to be true. Now, however, checkers have been replaced with Hungry Hungry Hippos (despite the loss of the pink hippo).

25th Amendment should deter them from taking the approach you suggest.

??? They are the only ones preventing him from nuking North Korea. They need to stay, and they will be very outspoken about this move, so it might not happen.

We are in for more wag the dog than we can imagine. Josh reported on Trump’s cryptic and ominous comments tonight. “the calm before the storm”.

Trump is a cornered chimp with a nuclear arsenal. We need someone close to Trump to put a stop to his insanity. Either Mueller has something to arrest him for, or we need someone with the moral courage of von Stauffenberg. I feel that things are that bad.

The guy is a complete utter frigging total … MORON!
The stupidity of Donald J Trump has no bounds…

Self-driving cars are a coverup.

Mad man has dinner with his generals and says “This is the calm before the storm.” when asked what he meant he said “You’ll see”

Also sad is that any such Democrats would get no coverage of those criticisms until GOP pols and operatives flood the news shows the following day with demands that the Democrats apologize for encouraging a new surge of liberal violence with their anti-American, divisive, disrespectful attacks on the Office of the President.

I hope Mueller announces felony charges against him before he can do real damage.

I agree. She is consistently good these days. Trump has somehow scared sense into her.

Well, too bad then that McCain and Corker played along with the Adelson-Netanyahu propaganda that this deal, joined by a group of countries, was a bad deal for America because the Likud Party and Sheldon Adelson really really really want the US to conduct a nuclear strike on Iran for them. If they are admitting that this was the best deal available, then isnt it unfortunate that they spent the whole time it was being negotiated trying to sabotage it. And continued to propagate that fiction during the Presidential Campaign. And invited a foreign leader to address a joint session of congress to crap on and humiliate President Obama.

Unfortunately, the world does not recognize innocent bystanders. Their view would be that whether you voted for tRump, Hillary, third party or not at all, those who lost did not work hard enough to prevent this narcissist imbecile from becoming president. We shall all suffer because of this fool and the gop congress that enables him.
