Pathetic boot-licking arse-kissing apple-polishing brown-nosing loser of a sycophantic easy mark. Trump now owns you, b-atch.

I remember this goofy bastard letting it go about Operation Glacial Pace - the investigation into Hillary, Part Whatever.
This whole thing is a product of the Koch brothers being so racist they funded any character with a tri-corner hat.

Well, as of Jan 6th, he finally became that which he always looked up to, a mob boss. But as usual, he did it wrong.

The coup is still in progress and Nancy and Chuck shelter in their decorum. Majority leader and speaker are enabling this behavior by letting it continue.

So someone in Trump’s circle DOES know how to do a readout.
The trappings Trump is surrounding himself with “Office of the Former President” and doing readouts is all performative.

So a potential witness in Trump’s impeachment has been tampered with? How are Trump’s threats to primary and “destroy” any senator who votes against him not jury tampering?

“McCarthy then watered down his initial remarks by claiming that ‘everybody across the country’ was responsible.”
I’m surprised he could speak with his mouth so full.

“McCarthy then watered down [seriously!?!] his initial remarks by claiming that “everybody across the country” was responsible.”
To say that everybody is responsible is to say that nobody is responsible.

“Ring” has to be the weirdest euphemism for “fat ass” I’ve ever seen.
