Discussion: Trump Claims He And McConnell Are ‘Closer Than Ever Before’

Yeah, Like Fred McMurray and Barbara Stanwyck were closer than ever before in “Double Indemnity.”

Barton Keyes: Eh? There it is, Walter. It’s beginning to come apart at the seams already. Murder’s never perfect. Always comes apart sooner or later, and when two people are involved it’s usually sooner. Now we know the Dietrichson dame is in it and a somebody else. Pretty soon, we’ll know who that somebody else is. He’ll show. He’s got to show. Sometime, somewhere, they’ve got to meet. Their emotions are all kicked up. Whether it’s love or hate doesn’t matter; they can’t keep away from each other. They may think it’s twice as safe because there’s two of them,

Barton Keyes: [chuckles]

Barton Keyes: but it isn’t twice as safe. It’s ten times twice as dangerous. They’ve committed a murder! And it’s not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They’re stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it’s a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery. She put in her claim… I’m gonna throw it right back at her.

This whole “impromptu” press conference was a doozy…even by trump standards.

It just hit me…I know my parent used to mention an old term “got the DTs”

NOW…I think the country has the DTs…see my edit on the definition below:

noun, Pathology.
1.
a withdrawal syndrome occurring in persons who have developed physiological dependence on alcohol, a need for the truth and good governance, characterized by tremor, visual hallucinations, and autonomic instability.

At least…I wish it was all hallucinations.

Narrator:

"On November 9, Donald Trump was asked to remove himself from his place of residence.

That request came from his wife.

Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that someday he would dump her.

With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the Washington home of his friend, Mitch McConnell.

Several years earlier, McConnell’s Army Reserve unit had thrown HIM out, requesting that HE never return.

Can two rapacious GOP a$$holes share a fascist plutocracy without driving each other crazy?"

"We are fighting for the same thing,” Trump said.

McConnell concurred, saying he and the President “have the same agenda.”

  1. Destroying everything Obama and Democrats have accomplished.
  2. Enriching the 1%.
  3. Keeping power by eliminating voting rights.
  4. Enriching Putin and the oligarchs.
  5. Keeping power by colluding with the Russians.

McConnell was working on 1 through 3 before Trump. Trump threw in 4 and 5 (with McConnell and Ryan’s consent and assistance) in order to help with 1 through 3, and with his primary objective…enriching Trump.

I need to watch the whole thing and not just the clips on twitter, but it feels like Mitch was trying to get Trump to get Bannon to back off the challengers to the GOP Senators.

I think you should consider adding:

  1. Remaking the judicial branch by installing young, far-right, Liberty College Graduates into all appointments so that the outlook of the branch is impacted for the next generation.

There really aren’t enough hours in the day to cover the mountain of lies he tells every single day. Some are annoying. Some are terribly egregious. And some slip through the fact-checkers because there’s just too fucking many of them to dispute and explain are complete fabrications when other stories are being obfuscated by the noise. He floods the zone with that kind of bullshit relentlessly. That’s basically his trademark buffoonery. Until all journalists agree to join together to confront him at one of these shout-out press conferences that he’s not telling the truth, or that facts prove otherwise, he’ll continue to make stuff up out of whole cloth. It’ll take a village to confront that asshole…Even then, it may not help.

Are they having sex yet or just playing with each other?

This is usually accompanied by a big, symbolic kitchen renovation, then separate vacations and divorce.

McConnell concurred, saying he and the President “have the same agenda”

That agenda being kicking the poor, threatening non-whites, and undoing everything Obama did through any means necessary. That was never in doubt and for the record, nobody gives a shit if McConnell and Trump are friends or even speak to one another. What’s important is the damage they’re doing to the judicial system, the dismantling of Obama’s fixes to the country after Bush tanked it, and our inability to safeguard citizens against these two bigots with a lot of power.

Enjoy it while it lasts Mitch. Just wait a week or two and once again it’s gonna be your turn in the barrel…

…but what did they eat for lunch? Did Mitch have crow?
