Comey should call him on it, in the loudest most public way he possibly can…

As in “I don’t work for you anymore so go ahead and do it and by the way fuck you”

That would be so epic.

Today, Trump made some of his brilliant trade deals that will probably result in the price of beef going even higher, with the awesome trade-off that pre-cooked/packaged (canned) poultry will get cheaper as a result of it being processed, cooked and packaged in China, all without requirement of saying the word “China” anywhere on the label. The Chinese get our beef and natural gas, we get their stealth cooked chicken :eek: and banking :smack:. Are you tired of winning yet?

Counter-point

All I’ve got is that he is so ridiculous that I utter phrases like, “you are fucking shitting me” at breakfast, when informed that he has “tapes”. It’s mildly entertaining and horrifying all at the same time. It’s like living on Alternate Earth. It’s History’s longest drug trip. I’m not sure that really qualifies as “not pissed” so much as “shocked disbelief”.

I believe it all. Nothing from Il Douche would surprise me anymore. That doesn’t mean I’m any less appalled and/or pissed off.

I still operate under the assumption that this is a simulated reality, to see what the world would have looked like if Trump had won the presidency in 2016.

I’m in a straight jacket in a padded room somewhere hallucinating the whole thing; with occasional flashbacks to the 70s. That must be the case.

I’ve suspected it for a while. Then, Trump fired Comey, and this was followed by fucking Henry Kissinger showing up in the Oval Office. That convinced me. And now we’re talking about tapes and whether or not he can be made to hand them over.

Seriously? Seriously???

I’m supposed to believe this shit?

Sean Spicer now won’t confirm whether or not Trump is recording his conversations. I’m calling it: this is now officially Trumpgate.

Trump sent out a Tweet today, which in its entirety read “We”.

I know, not a terrible act, but I thought tweeting was the one thing he was competent at.

That’s all of the Preamble to the Constitution he could remember. Frankly, I’m surprised he remembered that much.
