Be sure your sins will find you out, Mr. President.
I’m thankful there is a shit-storm around this story.
Keep kissing this dictator’s ass, GOP. This one’s all on you, and will be forever.
Trump’s really brought the confused among us out of the woodwork and then misguided them.
Trump’s a roach herder.
Trump has flipped his wig…here’s the way out Donald…
OMG…that day will be the BIGGEST RELIEF…
There will be celebrations in the streets of America.
Rachel had On Elijah Cummings last night and as usual he cut through the bullshit
He said look, we can’t create any investigative panels We are in the minority This is a man and an administration under suspicion of collusion with Russia. Republicans need to stop circling the wagons around this president and circle them around the United States. Defend the integrity of our democracy
What I find most encouraging about this: at a time like this, he still feels he needs to shore up his base. Maybe the time is coming, or has come, where his base isn’t enough.
Fuck alt-facts, this is alt-reality.
Unhinged for all to see.
Old flabby arse stubby liar dumpie can not defend the indefensible …cowardly and scared to death…GUILTY AS CHARGED…
This will just escalate the Russian collusion of drumpfie and cabal…
Childish dumb paranoid for a reason…LOCK HIM UP…
Trump actually advertises his unfitness for office and the vast wealth of knowledge he doesn’t have and he does it regularly in case anyone should forget for a few minutes. Frankly, Donald, nobody gives a damn about Comey. It’s the abuse of power.
Now, Trump will never understand that because, to him, power exists to be abused.
I never cease to be amazed at the absolute childishness of the Squatter in the Oval Office. Just like a 3-year-old, a finger-pointing temper tantrum every time he doesn’t get his way.
I wish he would pack his toys, take his mongrel curs and go the hell on home.
It was all Rod Rosenstein’s idea, not prompted by the WH. This is the defense being trotted out by the usual talkers. I guess Trump didn’t get the memo, as it seems he’s taking credit for the decision and the firing.
It’s like if you’ve been at the Grand Canyon since the morning and now it’s lunchtime–you can forget to be amazed, at moments here and there, how big the damn thing is. But this colossal idiot has been in office since January 20 and he’s managed to precipitate one of the worst Constitutional crises in the nation’s history. Sometimes you have to remind yourself of that. Aaaaand now back to work getting the kids to school, mowing the lawn, saving the Republic here and there as time allows. An interesting time we’re living in.
He has also had all campaign statements scrubbed from his website. Nothing he ever said praising Comey remains. Nothing about the wall being paid for by Mexico. Nothing.
Trump walks on all this. The GOP controls Congress, the White House, the Justice Department, the FBI, SCOTUS and much of the rest of the courts (soon to be further entrenched by a slew of new Trump appointees). There is too much money at stake in tax and regulatory reform, along with all the graft and theft Trump will enable across the board, to run him out of office.
The only wild card is the press. Somewhere out there may be a Woodward and Bernstein or a Daniel Ellsberg that ferrets out facts not controlled by Republicans. Trump knows this is his weak spot in all this, hence laying the groundwork these last few months labeling media fake news. Trump needs the electorate, and even those in government, to viscerally distrust reporting by the press. He calculates he can reach a tipping point where critical, damaging information will be disregarded if that opinion is imprinted in enough people.
I say this too shall pass. Ultimately Trump walks on all of it. The one percent wants their money, and whatever needs overlooked to get it will be done.
Yes, cheering Mike Pence will be a joy…
Quite honesty, these tweets aren’t about shoring up his base. They are about shoring up his fragile ego. He really thought this would be a nothing event, and was stunned that it isn’t. He is lashing out here, pure and simple, because his ego demands emotional release.
I am not tracking it on a calendar, but it does seem that we are about due for the manic phase of his cycle. The “inside reporting” from the WH seems to indicate that he is definitely in it…yelling at the TV, screaming at aides for not being out there supporting this move, and of course…the 3AM tweets.
Pence gets them all of that, plus some sanity.
