It is heartening that it at least came out.
Shit, The Drumpf administration has talked to more Russians than Putin has, and he lives in Moscow. It’s so fucking sad how no Republicans have the balls to stand up and do what’s right. You would think that an ego of some GOP senator would step up to think he can do better than Drumpf.
One of Putin’s oldest tricks, one that he learned from the KGB, is to get compromising information on targets, usually sexual in nature. Judging by the history of GOP members either fiddling boys, utilizing prostitutes, or just committing the terrible sin of being gay, I’d guess the connection goes deep.
So fucking what? Lying under oath is only a crime when it’s a Democrat committing the offense. It’s a very similar principle to the ‘deficits are only bad when they’re run during a Democratic administration,’ principle,’ or the ‘US casualties abroad are only scandalous under a Democratic administration,’ principle.
Remember at the convention that the republicans brought out a mother of someone who died in Benghazi? They don’t give a flying fuck about profitting off of the death of people.
Shouldn’t that be the low bar for being allowed out in public? You aren’t going to go loping down the street shrieking and throwing rotten fruit like an orangutan that got into Dad’s special stash in the back of the closet?
It’s disgusting that Trump has been able to parlay his abhorrent behavior over the last 2 years (err...70 years?) into nearly universal praise because he managed not to be a complete and total ass for 60 minutes.He’s like the father who always forgets to pick you up when it’s his weekend, insults you, is always drunk…
Van Jones is pretty much dead to me after his comments last night. Give me a fucking break, dude. I was disgusted by this whole shit show. I got up and left the room during the minute and a half standing ovation for the guy who Trump said would be “happy” because of everyone cheering. Happy? He’s fucking dead because…
We are going to be hearing this baloney for the next couple of days and then everyone is going to be SHOCKED, SHOCKED, I SAY when he reminds the talking heads what a tool box of stupid hammers they are by actually saying the same things but with his usual dog whistles more in evidence.
Oooooh, little Trumpy cleared the big scary hurdle without falling down and going boom! What a big boy he is! That’s our big Presidential boy! Yes it is!
Trump has had a couple of moments were he didn’t seem batshit crazy only to quickly return to form. This is the thing that drives me up a wall. The bar has been set so low for him that any sane moment seems like a godsend. My guess was he was too tired to fight with his advisers and speechwriters so he just read…
Talk about low expectations — people are now desperate to praise Trump any time he sounds normal. It’s like we are all suppose to be training him to be a well-functioning 6 year old. If he doesn’t cry while mommy is shopping, then we will give him praise for being a big boy.
USA republican mathematics:
It’s hard to understate just how infuriating this is.
If unemployment is around 5%, there’s no massive terror attack, we don’t invade anything, he doesn’t cut Medicare and leaves weed alone, I say he gets reelected.
See, that’s just how easy it is! You can gargle incoherenty and dogwhistle for the fascists all you like, then just read a speech that’s been composed by a writer with at least half their brain working, and the media will fawn over you and try to push forward their narrative that the office of president is ennobling!…
The guys on Pod Save America mentioned how Trump staffers describing how they need to manage the president sounds exactly like you’d describe how to manage an 8 year old child. The press hugely over-praising Trump for sorta meeting basic expectations fits that. Like how you’d throw a little party the first time your…
I think you should probably have put that first paragraph in quotes, just to make it crystal clear that this isn’t something you’re saying.
