Republicans are all about states’ rights. They’d never approve of the federal government charging in and telling a state what to do. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Yes, but as long as someone, in Trump’s name, called black people stupid then Republicans are happy. True enough. > [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > My exact first thought as well. It seems like a long time since anyone in broadcast media has mentioned the widespread speculation that Trump writes only some of the tweets that go out in his name. That used to be brought up fairly regularly. Now reporters seem to be back to ‘assuming’ that he writes them all. (Subjective impression on my part, of course.) ---

Wut? First of all, why would they give Judicial Fucking Watch the time of day, let alone text histories? Judicial Fucking Watch is Larry Klayman’s orc-mockery of the ACLU and should never be considered some kind of legitimate organization. ACLJ is another fuckery organization like that. Pat Robertson-founded this time. ---

I already posted in the Mueller thread, but it’s clear that Trump is freaking out right about now. It’s also clear that General Beauregard is fighting back against Dotard – by not resigning. ---

> [@asahi](#): > > I already posted in the Mueller thread, but it’s clear that Trump is freaking out right about now. It’s also clear that General Beauregard is fighting back against Dotard – by not resigning. It’s possible we’re approaching endgame at this point. Giuliani has no power to negotiate the terms of an interview with Mueller, and if Loser Donald doesn’t agree to one voluntarily, Mueller will just subpoena him. He can try to fight it, but unless the Supreme Court completely up-ends the unanimous precedent from the Nixon case, he’ll lose. And since there no way he’ll be able to testify without either perjuring himself or admitting to criminal acts, he’ll have little choice but to resign. One can hope, at least. ---

I don’t think Donald believes he’ll have any problems at all with testifying. He’s a natural at this stuff. The best! I think it’s more likely he’ll testify, Mueller will recommend charges (notice that Giuliani is already mentioning “perjury trap” every 5 minutes), and then we’ll see what Congress is made of. ---

I think it’s more likely he’ll testify, Mueller will recommend charges (notice that Giuliani is already mentioning “perjury trap” every 5 minutes), and then we’ll see what Congress is made of. I think all Mueller will have to do is ask a couple of questions and then let thump run off at the mouth. Thump is one of those people who cannot tolerate silence–he has to fill it with the sound of his own voice yammering away. He will yammer out a rope long enough to hang himself (metaphorically speaking). ---

Oh boy, we knew we were going to get some good Omarosa tweets: > [@the President of the United States](#): > > Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard…really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me - until she got fired! So, by his own admission, the President of the United States hires stupid, lazy sycophants for top positions in his government. Lovely. As it turns out, though, Omarosa _was_ smart enough to get a recording where [Trump claims ignorance that she had even been fired and blames the whole thing on John Kelly](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/omarosa-releases-taped-conversation-trump-fired-1.4782959). So by his own admission on the tape he has no idea what’s going on in his own White House and lets his staff boss him around. Probably some or all of both narratives are entirely lies and reality show TV storylines. It would be funnier if we didn’t all have to live in here with them. ---
