If Obama could sue, any jury would concur that Barack Obama’s reputation is infinitely greater than, say, Hulk Hogan’s. The damages - calculated exponentially to Hogan’s award from Gawker - could bankrupt an actual billionaire, much less a Trump

Well it looks like the stuff with Ahnold was actually later that morning, but yeah, these two things are apparently on the same tweetable level

Senator Pittypat’s response

I see the Presidential! thing didn’t last long.

I don’t understand how this is not being discussed. You can’t just make up such a damning charge against someone. I would love to Obama sue that orange freak.

I must add that I’ve been able to piece together this much of the story in just the last 3 hours (THAT MANY sources have been talking!). Imagine how much dirt - including what’s in all these FBI/CIA/NSA case files - is yet to come this week.

I think my favorite part is that he made sure to call out Arnold Schwartzenegger first.

I said this on a previous article, but I do think his freaking out about this and members of his campaign the past few days all of a sudden remembering meetings with the Russian ambassador lead me to believe they found out there was a FISA warrant.

Robert Reich lays out the options as being threefold:

I think this entire thing is really worrying, but what is really pissing me off is his misuse of “McCarthyism” considering that he is starting witch hunts himself. Talk about projection...

Trump’s lawyers must be in a tizzy. Does he not know that Obama could sue his stupid ass for slander? Please cross the wrong Democrat with lies about them, Donald. Please do it, and let’s see what the fuck happens.

Or, conversely, a wiretap — FISA or otherwise — was authorized, which means a judge found probably cause of wrongdoing in the first place.

Senator Graham, if you discover there was no wiretap will you ask for the President’s resignation?

I went to an ACE elementary school, it is barely education. Dinosaurs and man, morality in math, earth is 6000 years old... all the old favorites.

Is the problem that the extremely flammable acetate material of the tie is so thin and slippery that it slips right out of a tie bar like a wet fish?

I’m not a dude but I have to imagine that if he BUTTONED HIS JACKET LIKE HE HAD SOME CLASS OR SOMETHING the tie would stay tucked inside and he wouldn’t have this problem in the first place. (ETA: That still wouldn’t work on the hair flap, though.)

Garters?! Too fancy for a Real American like Donald.

Is this not the reason to wear the little pin on one’s tie to fasten it to one’s shirt? I don’t dress men so maybe I’m misinformed.

What’s really weird about that is that he doesn’t even need it; there’s at least three inches of the narrow half sticking through the loop. What’s even weirder is that he doesn’t know how to roll the tape inside out so he could stick it to the back of the narrow part instead if he simply must use tape.
