Trump really is self-impeaching… No wonder Giuliani drinks before going on TV, he’s got an impossible job, trying to protect this thing.

Would the scandalous thing be that Trump conferenced Rudy in on the call? I’m hoping for a double here.

“And largely the fact that we don’t want our people like Vice President Biden and his son creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine,” he said.

Because I have enough sons and a son-in-law more than capable of creating to Ukrainian corruption, he went on to add. After all, they’re the real experts; masters of corruption, you might say.

Trump is just one fucking bold face liar. He wouldn’t know the truth if it kicked him in his fat ass.

Thus spaketh the man with the flying saucer on his head. So much of the proof of Trump’s collusion with foreign nations to interfere in our elections comes out of his own mouth that many are loathe to believe his words can possibly be self-incriminating. Going public with collusion seems to be good cover for Trump.

This Tapper exchange with Mnuchin needs more attention. Administration officials do not want to acknowledge this. Let them squirm.

“Watch Trump below:”

I’m sorry, I just don’t have the stomach for that. I hate that Jabba the Hutt face and toad voice, and he always lies.

I love that these assholes Mnuchin, Pompeo, Graham, are now forced to defend the indefensible.

And Pompeo too. I think he’s lying here. Giuliani has admitted he kept the State Department in the loop on the Ukraine scandal.

I looked at Bob Mueller on the teevee in July and “Obstruction” came up.

Pompeo looks particularly bad. They are all soiled by Trump. Rick Wilson is correct on this one ETTD. Pompeo and Mnuchin just hit that wall.

Trump sends two members of the cabinet out to defend him, only to throw them under the bus at one of his chopper talks.

I love the “chopper talk” intro on Colbert.
Mnuchin and Pompeo are under the bus.

Trump was just looking out for our country.
Right?

Bravo, Tapper. That fool, Mnuchin, is scrambling for a foothold and sliding further into the abyss by the minute.

It’s a dangerous game that Trump is playing, lying about a conversation that another country undoubtedly has a transcript of. He needs a bigger thrill every day.
