The thing is, he can’t quiet the talk, so he’s trying to steer the conversation his way. Classic manipulative technique.

but man, does he look guilty of something.

It’s because he knows the hammer is going to drop eventually... all this is political theater to put enough doubt in the minds of his supporters for them to be able to reject whatever results come out of the FBI investigation as a partisan attack.

There is not a person in his administration with an IQ over 110.

It’s infuriating, but there’s rumblings about some of the higher ups (Ryan and Mitch) being compromised as well. At this point, it may be less a case of party over country, and more just plain trying to save their own asses.

What is even more chilling is - what if the Russian thing is a distraction from the truly horrifying shit going down?

The saddest thing for all of us is: there is a team to keep him under control. This is not out-of-control behavior for him, this is controlled behavior. Fucking terrifying.

Sure points towards guilt doesn’t it? What’s the saying, innocent people don’t run and hide.

My favorite part of this is that all the stories he and his surrogates are telling directly contradict his initial, written response. So no, that actually wouldn’t solve anything.

Ugh. Every day he reminds me more and more of my horrible, awful, no good, very bad former boss.

I liked the “don’t make me pull this car over right now” tweet that followed:

Oooh, a certified letter! How could we doubt someone who would pay a whole $3.35 to send a letter!

What in the actual fuck is this guy doing? How is there not a team of people assigned to him 24/7 to keep this idiot under control?

As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!....

This is so fucking disgusting. I don’t know what I want more, for Trump to actually get locked up for his blatant crimes or for him to rage stroke out and end the suspense.

Threatening Comey while also hinting he may just cancel press briefings in their entirety today. Jesus titty fucking Christ.

Yes he would have. It may have bordered on unprofessional but he didn’t roll his eyes because she is a woman. He did it because he is tired of this person spewing bullshit. Her gender has nothing to do with it.

I’ve been doing it for months. I don’t understand why Cooper just started.

I think he really believes his position affords him unquestioned loyalty and deference. It blows his mind people oppose him on anything. If he fires enough people, people will stop opposing him in his mind.

I’ve been obsessively keeping up with this to the point that’s it’s squashed any potential productivity for the last two days. I need a break from the news cycle, but only to make more popcorn.
