Heh. I think it was Colbert who called Bannon “the best-looking guy at the liquor store.”
Bannon looks like one of the guys in the liquor store five minutes after it opens, buying a half pint of the cheap stuff and carefully putting out the exact change onto the counter.
By way of Talking Points Memo: U.S. Office of Government Ethics director Walter Shaub resigned in shock, horror and dismay. Among the incidents:
I swear, I am not making this up. Maybe they are, but I’m not…
Fire is warm. They could burn him in Effigy, which is an hour outside of London.
If the resulting smoke drifted that way, all of Ireland might be suddenly and bitterly sober.
That’s nice and all, but I won’t believe Trump is at risk of being “hurt going forward” until quotes like that come from actual names, rather than “top Republicans,” “administration officials” and “sources close to the White House.”
You really can’t make this up; it’s so far off of rational.
Trump tells special counsel investigating Russia’s interference, collusion, etc. not to investigate Trump’s finances. Trump then criticizes the special counsel “running an office rife with conflicts of interest”. And why doesn’t Trump want Mueller investigating Trump’s finances? Trump says “This is about Russia”.
NO KIDDING, YOU ORANGE BABOON! And thanks for basically admitting you’re in Russia’s pocket. Apparently you don’t have the decency to resign. So, hurry up and die already.
POTUS says he wouldn’t have hired his AG if he knew the guy would recuse himself. I mean, jeez! What good is having a lawyer who won’t help you with the coverup?: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/19/politics/donald-trump-interview-jeff-sessions/index.html
And so now, Trump says he talked about “adoptions” with Putin in that 2nd meeting. Which means he was talking sanctions. It’s times like these I wonder if he’s just trolling everybody.
The things that piss me off more than trump are the brain dead voters that still believe in him and the butt head republicans that support him rather than their constituents.
Seriously, who votes for a “business” man with that many bankruptcies? Help us geezus :smack: trump has been a troll from the moment he took his first breath.
He doesn’t have ANY decency, so give up on that idea. I hope Meuller and company find EVERY ugly crooked little thing. I hope the resulting stink is so foul there is no choice BUT to send him, his family, and his accomplices to prison for the rest of their lives.
Yes, this is about Russia. The election meddling, the fake “news” sites, the media complicity, the crooked real estate deals, the sudden 180 degree turn in the Republican stance on sanctions and aggression in Ukraine, the mob money laundering, the denigrating of NATO, Flynn, Pence, Sessions, Rex EXXON Tillerson, Manafort, it’s ALL about Russia.
Every last stinking piece of it.
You misunderstand. I know the sumbitch has no decency and never has had any. I actually wish he would die. That’s the only thing that will stop the huge embarrassment.
I understood, and I was agreeing with you. I’m originally from NYC. I knew about and despised that lying cheating filthy son of a bitch decades before he “went national”.
…and right on cue, sources say that Meuller is doing exactly that (investigating Trump’s financial dealings). Who could have guessed that an investigator might find it necessary to investigate things that the person being investigated told him not to investigate?
Hee.
Mueller smoke signal analysis: “Go ahead. Fire me. I dare ya!”
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong: AIUI Trump can’t directly fire the Special Counsel. That would normally be the job of the AG, but since the AG has recused himself from all things Russia investigation, Trump would have to go to the next person in the line (deputy AG Rosenstein, who seems unlikely to be cooperative) or fire Sessions and order his successor to do it.
Seems it may be a bit difficult to stuff this particular genie back in the lamp.
Trump is just dumb, impulsive and self-pitying enough that I won’t be terribly surprised when/if he fires Mueller, or tries to.
You know what pisses me off? Today at work I am going through a couple of yearly refresher training sessions, one for data security and one for ethics. (I am an employee of a govt contractor, and we have about half a dozen of these different trainings we have to do every year.) And as I’m sitting through these presentations, I can’t help but think how I, as a lowly drone, am being held to a much higher standard of conduct than the freakin’ POTUS.
He’d have to go even further down the ladder than Nixon did.
But even then, it wouldn’t be enough to make Ryan start impeachment hearings. Nothing would make him recognize he represents the country, not his party.
Dig up Bork and make HIM do it.
