$35,000 to Greg Abbott in Texas, $25,000 to Pam Bondi in Florida.
As someone so brilliantly pointed out when this all surfaced a few weeks ago, the female received 70% of the male’s compensation to do the same job - closing the investigations into Trump U.
None of the things you list are forthcoming. Or else he’s got some good news about his campaign that he’s being uncharacteristically reticent about sharing? Actually a couple times since the May fundraising numbers debacle he’s said just you wait Enry Iggins he’s making all kinds of money you’ll be amazed. He said some dubious stuff about millions, five million this, ten million that, eleventy kajillion million just since lunch, but no official documentation—weird!
So Trump won’t comment on whether he would fire either Comey or Lynch, which means that he’s thinking of keeping them on in his administration. Which means that by the standards he’s announced he is bribing them. Not sure to do what, but definitely bribing them.
OT, but hey TPM: getting tired of the word “railed”.
Fumed
Inveighed

Thanks for letting me get that out of my system.
This idiot defies description…
…are you sure?
(Hands Bill O’Reilly a napkin) Dude, you got some brown stuff on your nose and some orange-y goo dripping from your chin. No, please … keep the napkin. 
He raised money from Republicans from whom? Rich people, right? The exact same people who if they contribute to the other party are rigging the system.
Yeah, they need the money, but he just gave away the anti-establishment game.
Last I saw, Drumpf is only polling 1% from African-Americans. I guess that’s not quite a shutout…
Smiling ruefully, shaking head, and sad to see the next president reduced to an Al Capp Shmoo about to be hit by a pot bellied fraud and glad there’s not a more sane R nominee who might land a blow.
@pshah @scruffy76
trump will never overcome the loathing African Americans have for the R party.
In the last 50 years, no more than 15 percent of black voters have voted for Republican presidential candidates or identified as Republican.
The idea that Trump would succeed where no GOP candidate has succeeded since Richard Nixon in 1960 is mystifying, especially since the billionaire is running a campaign fueled by appeals to racial anxiety and hostility, xenophobia, and economic distress.
Hey, when you’re hangin’ with The Donald the wild inconsistency is just part of the fun. The GOP said goodbye to coherence and rationality with the Laffer Curve and has been heading out of the solar system and into interstellar space ever since.
Don’t you just know that Trump has made some “witty” remarks in private about “lynching Lynch”? And that he’s pissed that he can’t share 'em with his base at a rally?
Or will he?
Sometimes when I’m over caffeinated I stroll over to trump’s twit world, and look around. He’s boasting about 7 millions hits in the aftermath of the FBI exoneration, and a very smart response came from a woman who said 7 million hits is not going to win you the presidency
If he doesn’t touch on lynching I’d very surprised, but oh so slyly and with deniability. “I only said Lynch likes to eat strange fruit!” if he knows his Billie Holiday.
I hear you, but really it was his best argument (from a long list of horrible ones).
I can’t believe Trump dodged this question. He should have said:
Of course I will be replacing the Obama cabinet with my own cabinet. It’s SOP when there is a change of administration.
I am sure Mrs. Lynch could make more money in the private sector than as the AGUS. And I am sure that Bob Gates did not see it as a bribe when Obama asked him to stay on as the Sec of Defense.
What a moron.
One thing is for certain, he’s not as popular as some in the media would have us believe, especially in some parts of the country…even at his own rallies where he’s considered the headliner. This is from last Friday at the Western Conservative Conference he spoke at in Colorado. Fortunately, someone finally turned the cameras around to show the size of the turnout:
Yup, saw that one, and you always hear about how he goes on so long at his rallies people start drifting out before he’s done. Oh, and the famous list of speakers that was coming today? Now it’s coming tomorrow. If he says what time tomorrow I’ll let you know. : )
This. And, of course, there’s the part where it turned out no such “people” existed.
