Full blown batshit crazy. Iā€™d still love to 25th Amendment Fat Nixon before heā€™s bounced from the Oval Trailer. Still time for another impeachment as well?

Has Trump asked Henry Kissinger to get down on his knees and pray with him yet?

(Or is he still at the wandering-around-the-White-House-late-at-night-drunkenly-screaming-at-portraits-of-previous-presidents stage?)

Not 'til he resigns. That was the renegotiation of the pre-nup that kept her in NYC even after that obscenity of a 2016 inauguration.

ā€œThere have been a lot of shenanigans,ā€ Trump said, ā€œand we canā€™t stand for that in our country.ā€

Well ā€¦ he got one thing right.

I was astounded when he started this, and now amazed that he finished it.

Well, what else could we expect from such a piece of garbage like he is? Despicable, insane, a traitor to the form of Government he swore to uphold.

God Damn him for putting the Nation through this.

I think they should use the word

Just as a side pet peeve of mine, any Democrat that falls for this stupid game Trump and republicans have started playing needs to be slapped. When a Republican demands a Democrat must say a certain thing, they should just say ā€˜fuck youā€™ right back.

The only body that could decide the process, Trump added, would be the Supreme Court.

ā€œWe can both claim the states but, ultimately, I have a feeling judges are going to have to play a role,ā€ Trump said.

I would like to think that even the Trump appointed SCOTUS Justices will instruct their staff to ā€œtake a messageā€ after this speech. Notice I didnā€™t say that I I was sure.
