The truth will come out. Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

The White House’s sweeping probe consisted of aides compiling a list of suspects.

That’s pretty funny.

 

Bennet and Dao declined to be interviewed by the Post about the one-year anniversary of the op-ed

That’s pretty unfunny.

I’m not sure which would be worse: that Bennett and Dao used the phrase in their statement or that TPM’s writers don’t know how illiterate it is.

Caution: plot spoiler.

Like Murder on the Orient Express, they probably all had a hand in it. An ineffectual version of the 25th Amendment as befits this inept Administration.

My money’s on Kellyanne Conway. George plays the enemy of the admin in his tweets and commentary, KC plays the loyal trumpite, and when trumpism is over, they’ll both emerge with job offers waiting for them.

Whoever it was is a weasel. Trying to make the public believe that there’s some form of control over events, policies, diplomacy happening in the WH. The op-ed struck me as propaganda at the time. Still does.

Looking forward to 2020.

Does it make me a bad person if I just don’t give a shit?

If that’s a real person (which I doubt), he or she will profit from it after leaving the office. The public should know better than to give oxygen to the FAKE “resistance” (cuz the media definitely will).

My first thoughts as well. And of course TPM puts this ‘story’ under NEWS (red). What would the media do w/o Trump tweeting or running his fat mouth?

A typical day in The Situation Room…

Here’s your answer.

What a way to build camaraderie among the staff and what a way to build allegiance towards the dictator.

There’s a lot of things about the Trump “Administration” and indeed, the extreme right wing, that the media needs to “stop giving oxygen” to.
