Did someone hit him with a tranquilizer dart?

Same reaction if they order his tax returns turned over??

Only if we see aviating porcines over the frozen lands of hades.

“We live with the decision.”

As opposed to “We begin the uprising at dusk?”

“That’s what it’s all about — we live with the decision of the Supreme Court,” Trump said. “Very powerful, very powerful decision actually, but they have so ruled.”

He has absolutely no idea what it says or means.

“That’s what it’s all about — we live with the decision of the Supreme Court,” Trump said. “Very powerful, very powerful decision actually, but they have so ruled.”

Given even Kellyanne Conway’s response, not to mention those of social conservatives poking about the rubble of the Federalist Society’s grand plan to get fellow travelers appointed to the courts, Trump’s comment is an odd one. I wonder, though, once he gets a gander at how this playing out with his base, if he won’t start tweeting out stuff like, “Gorsuch I hardly know–and such a lightweight legal mind! Practically begged me to nominate him and I did–felt sorry for him!”

He’s running out of negative energy.

Exactly.

No fucking clue. He’ll be furious when he finds out.

That was my first thought, too. He needs some time on Twitter to figure out how he’s supposed to think via how the base is reacting.

Great, does this mean another teargas enabled walk to the church for another bible-inverting photo op?

Could be code. Could be he knows he’s defeated.

He’s not a homosexual, so he truly doesn’t give a shit.

He wants adulation, and giving the right-wing trogs what they want is how he gets it.

Now, instead, he get something to rail against. Maybe he’ll call for the murder of the traitors on the SCOTUS. That’d be entertaining.

It was “powerful“ but not “beautiful”?

Since all of that outcry after the first one? I don’t think so.

Notice he’s not weighing in on SCOTUS decision to not take up the case of CA’s sanctuary law. You have to wonder which is causing him more agita, gays or browns including Jerry.

Something tells me he hadn’t a clue that a Supreme Court ruling was made today until he was asked about it.

He couldn’t give a flying eff. He’s crappin’ in his pants that they’ll go 6-3 to make him release his state and federal tax records.
