September is four months away, I would suggest that Trump retreats to one of his golf clubs for the summer, and read about Jackson and the Civil War. Loose the phone please. Let the government run in auto-pilot, which it has effectively has for the last three months. We will all be happy, and he can have his shutdown in September or not if the reading helped at all.

So, he’s signing off on the budget. Winning.

Reminds me of the fairy tale about the boy who cried wolf. After a while no one listened, except maybe his sheep.

Honestly, the way Trump thinks these days, he probably believes if they shut down the government that means he can then go home to Trump Tower or Mar-a-Loco permanently and skip all this really hard Presidenting stuff.

Who knew it could be so hard???
What a nutjob…What a fucking head case. Someone needs to kick some sense into that man’s head, metaphorically speaking, of course.
Will somebody assign this man a therapist, at least one to have on standby…just in case?

Even when Jean-Luc Picard’s person has been invaded by aliens, nanoprobe technology, or extreme illness, there is a command structure that allows the doctor to declare the captain is unfit for duty. For shit’s sake, she can override his decisions if she decides he is incapacitated by mind control, infirmity, or even serious derp. You mean to tell me, we have to wait for impeachment if that ever happens to this fucking Clown President? By then, it’ll be too late. We need a better system for this sort of thing. This could escalate quickly and its already too dangerous imo.

That’s the thing. There doesn’t seem to be much point in trying to parse out what these maunderings mean. People tell him stuff and he doesn’t understand it and jumbles it all up. He’s talking about a shutdown like it’s elective surgery or something. Completely out of it.

Why not shut it down? Just another bankruptcy for the Drumpfster Fire. No biggie…

I thought Trump was going to fix the mess in Washington as soon as he took office.

Funny how obvious it is that Trump didn’t write that particular ā€œmessā€ of a tweet.

Yes, this AM Politico(leaks?From where?..Move along people…)is talking about the latest gibberish attack ā€œsuddenlyā€ raising alarm bells. I mentioned before that WaPo had run a yellow highlighter over the AP and Bartiromo interviews clarifying how out of touch with reality the guy is. It’ll be interesting when a few more of his supposed joint ventures with Congress come a cropper. At this point I’m tempted to cross my fingers in the hopes that his ā€œproblemā€ gets worse . If he couldn’t string a sentence together* maybe something additional would be done.
*-You know, like Kevin McCarthy

As bad as the GOP Congress is, and it is really bad, it gets that it has to route around the damage in the White House.

Oh, but he did. He ā€œfixedā€ it good, just like when I had my tomcat fixed: his balls got removed too…

Mark that down in the ā€œsuccessesā€ column.

I wish some Congresscritter would say that, live on TV or on the floor of the House or Senate:

Rep NoFear (D-Wherever): ā€œI’m surprised the Resident thinks he’ll still be in power in September, given that his sanity is unraveling live on TV every dayā€¦ā€

Just troll the fuck out of him, constantly. Networks will love it. Great ratings.

The President’s call for a [insert noun or verb here] is odd given that Republicans control Congress and the White House.

The media can save this for future use.

Another note: I’m not sure how eliminating the filibuster is going to help get shitty legislation passed in the House.

You kinda read my mind on that. Once summer really sets in, I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts going to FL earlier and earlier to the point where he tries to set up teleconferencing from the estate all week long. For all intents and purposes, the WH will be completely empty. Not sure if this is good or bad. The Rethugs are in a pretty shambolic state right now so there isn’t much ā€œauto pilotā€ to fall back on.

The whitelyest of noise. Trust me, folks. I know white noise. Nobody is better or whiter with their noise than I am, and you know that. My white noise will be the whitest noise you ever saw. You’re going to be sick of white noise, there will be so much of it.

With the side benefit that it will absolutely send Drumpfie around the bend.

If you thought the ā€œlittle handsā€ thing was funny, this will be even better!

Yes, but he’s denying any responsibility for the budget.
