O/T but GREAT news for Va 2nd district
He might turn the speech into the usual denunciation of traitors and thought-criminals, but that was a little too obvious, while to invent a victory at the front, or some triumph of over-production in the Ninth Three-Year Plan, might complicate the records too much.

Yes, the ‘witch hunt’ is entirely being led by youknowwho.
The butler John Kelly is the snitch.
Nursing note, 11:35 p.m.
“Pt. agitated, pacing in bedroom. Says he hears voices through the walls, demands security sweep of entire floor. Sent asst. to investigate, returns from FLOTUS residence, reports TV tuned to Colbert show at full blast. No action necessary.”
Per CNN’s sources, Trump is measuring people’s innocence by how vigorously they denounce Woodward’s reporting as untrue.
SOOPER SLEUTH IS ON THE CASE
It’s like outsmarting a molehill.
The Purge… Coming Soon to a White House Near You!
This is why people who know him say you’ve never met anyone as stupid as he is. You have to recalibrate your imagination regarding how stupid a person can be.
Workers are busy constructing a truth-pool outside the Oval Office by removing all living things from what was once called the Rose Garden. Every weekend starting this one, staff will be tossed into the pool one by one. Floaters are guilty. Sinkers, god bless them.
Great. That ought to boost the morale of the WH staff. They love him so much already.
If only Donald could read. Hey look at the reporting, Bob recorded everyone. Donald master negotiator, author of The Art of Being a Schlemiel, why not call up Bob and negotiate for the tapes. Do it on tape so us weak ass liberals could hear how it’s done. What could Woodward extract from Dumb-Ass Donald for a glimpse of the list of sources and who would Trump trust to read the list to him.
Is there anyone that would tell him the truth that has a clue as to be able to find the leak?
I seriously doubt it…
It’s not even stupidity on the same sliding scale as we’re used to seeing. Most stupid people I have known, even the ones who know they are stupid, are pretty sure they’ve got some sort of folksy wisdom they can employ.
“Oh, this guy in particular is denying it extra hard, so I bet… a-HA, it was you, wasn’t it!”
By no means a rigorous or ironclad methodology, but at least a snail’s attempt to see through the other guy. A recognition that there are layers, shades of gray in the world, that someone might say one thing and do another, so you have to do him one better and outsmart his outsmarting. Even in a really dumb way.
Donald Trump isn’t even capable of this most basic, most banal “insight”. Someday I should stop being awestruck by his vapidity, but today is not that day.
Hmmm. Where should he start, where should he start?
ETA. A truly wise president would weigh each of his staff members to see if they weigh less than a duck.
Ha, ol’ Bob sure messed with trump’s head with the title of his book and that phone call.
Its because its what he would doin the circumstances.
The problem here is that there’s not just one leak. Multiple people talked to Woodward, or to others in Woodward’s hearing. The call is coming from inside…ALL the offices!
This reminds me of an episode of Veep IIRC, were they were they did an investigation to find out who called Selina Meyers (Julia Louis Dreyfus) a cunt. As the investigation went on, they couldn’t find a single person in her office who hadn’t called her that.
“Trump is measuring people’s innocence by how vigorously they denounce Woodward’s reporting…”
This is the approach Stalin took: the greater one denounces, the better one’s chance of surviving a purge.
Of course, in the end, it left Uncle Joe with no competent doctors to save his life when he inevitably fell ill.
Having sent them all to their deaths for insufficient denunciation of his opponents.
So there’s that…
