Doocy Responds To Ukraine Scandal | Talking Points Memo

"But if it’s something else, you know it, would be nice to know what it is.”

Yes, why won’t those rascally Democrats let us know what’s in the whistleblower’s memo?

So… Trump’s brain is warning him to absolute NOT move on to his usual “Of course I did it so what?” step in the Trump One-Step.

Would he care to investigate to see?

That’s some good guessing right there. I’m listening and I just heard a clause spoken after such a long pause that I didn’t know if it belonged to what came before or what came after.

He’s an entertainer. Remember that. Nothing to do with journalism. Hell, he can barely read his teleprompter.

I did what I normally do NOT do and had a look-see — and, boy, are you right, he acts and sounds like he’s doped completely out of his head. He’s talking in a complete monotone, he’s got an earpiece in his left ear (you can see it when he’s trying to read from his righthand teleprompter), and he shifts from teleprompter to teleprompter as if someone is saying, “okay, now read from the left, now from the right”…heck, the pauses are so weird, coming in odd places and with no anticipation in his intonation, that someone may literally be reading him his speech through the earpiece. You know, like someone repeating an oath: five words, pause, five more words, pause, five more words, pause…

Oh, yeah, and he completely closes his mouth during the pauses, instead of letting it hang open as he does when he’s high on his “rally rush”…

There is not one teeny tiny flicker of life on his face (the photo you’ve included looks 150% more animated).

You know, all anyone would have to do is to play tapes of this for campaign ads and you can see what a bizarro thing this is.

The audience is probably all sitting there going “and we’re supposed to accept this moron as ‘leader of the free world’, I don’t think so…”

My Dog, it’s insane!

Hey, Doocy, the History Channel is right now showing The Definitive Guide to the Mob. Former Colombo capo Michael Franzese explains exactly how it works.

He just said a word that was incomprehensible. He’s getting worse by the second.

It is Fox and Friends, of course Doocy is asking for a useful Donnie two scoops lie.

The problem is two scoops and Ghouliani gave away too much too soon. Boiling the frog from the get-go doesn’t work, they needed to turn up the heat slowly.

May be the administration is a little anxious on this one, so the they are making a few amateur mistakes in formulating their lies.

True. Expect this argument to be all over the wingnut-sphere

Michael Cohen said during his congressional testimony. Trump never says exactly what to do but it’s all implied. Withholding $ to Ukraine a week before a phone call to look into Biden is the smoking gun. We don’t need Robert Mueller to save our day this time…

They just showed a shot of the audience. People were whispering to each other, one guy was on the phone and others were just looking down (embarrassed? finding it painful?).

I have never seen anything like this.

Wonder what he’s on?

He was probably waiting for the laughter.

“off the rails” today.

Tomorrow? “He just went off the rails a little bit! That’s not impeachable!”

Thank God I dont have cable. I would probably rip it off the side of the house knowing that somehow my having cable supported FOX.

Not that the squish saved us the last time. Was more concerned with being in the good graces of his country club republicans pals.

“But if it’s something else, you know it, would be nice to know what it is.”

he continued “Like, it’s probably something that the Clintons did that the Ukrainian president was trying to inform the president about.”

Just showed a shot of Erdogan, who’s completely stone-faced, but the guy next to him had earphones on and was sniggering.

He’s looking more and more like Our Cartoon President. Really bad. And when he finished you could tell he was just happy to get through it.
