How can Trump use the word thought?

I have full confidence that AG Barr will use this report as the basis for an investigation into treason committed during the 2016 campaign.

By Hillary, of course.

Far worse for you, you mean?

Everyone who could read knew that the report was not going to find a vast left wing deep state conspiracy. Well, with the exception of Donald J Stupid, the stable genius.

He really does live in his own reality, doesn’t he?

Not that this is unusual but just to keep my perspective on what’s normal and what isn’t, it remains not normal for the president of the United States to talk about a thing in a way that has zero zip nada none no relationship to objective reality. He’s talking about a sinister conspiracy to overthrow the government that NEVER EXISTED. Masha Gessen and others familiar with authoritarian regimes had one piece of advice at the beginning of this: Don’t forget what normal once was. So, just as a reminder of that dim memory, this isn’t.

“This was an overthrow of government. This was an attempted overthrow — people were in on it and they got caught, they got caught red-handed and I look forward to the Durham report which is coming out in the not-too-distant future,” Trump said.

FBI investigating crime= Overthrow of Government
Donnie’s inescapable logic

Embarrassed yet Republicans?
Do I hear a “concern?” or a “disturbing”"
I didn’t think so.
History will remember where you stood
The Trump Stain on your legacy
Wear it proudly motherfuckers

And no doubt “president” Drumpf has read every word of this 476 page report . . .

. . . or is he just parroting things that Bill Barr has suggested he say in very short and simple(minded) sentences?

He is not going stark raving mad, he has been there for awhile.

I’m not sure that anything Trump said after “a report was released” is connected to reality…we really are down the rabbit hole if you listen to Trump instead of the facts.

More of a surrealist reality,it would seem.

We laugh and snark. But this is a man who has lost his mind. Remember, this is the “leader” of the free world. The damage he can inflict is very frightening. Did Lee Harvey Oswald have a son?
