I am seriously starting to wonder if Thursday will turn out to be The Law Doesn’t Apply to Republicans Day. The itinerary: -Fire Rosenstein -Seat an alleged rapist on the Supreme Court without getting too curious because he will defend the POTUS above other considerations. -Rosenstein’s replacement fires Mueller, diverts Russia investigation to examining Hillary. See what I mean? ---

IOW, they were laughing at the joke - HE (and this administration) IS the joke. ---

I have heard the expression “make a joke”, but most people go to far less effort when doing that. ---

What reaction did he think he would get from - basically - the rest of the world? It’s a really insightful indicator of his state of mind. ---

Trump is pretty sure that the rest of the world, seeing his proven brilliance as a leader, will beg him to take control of everything because only he can fix all their problems, just as he fixed America. ---

We can export him, make him President of some other country? Who do we hate that much? OK, tough call, but lets not dismiss this out of hand… ---

> [@GoPostie](#): > > What reaction did he think he would get from - basically - the rest of the world? It’s a really insightful indicator of his state of mind. As I’ve said before, Donald Trump’s worldview can be summarized in three points; 1. Donald Trump is very rich 2. Donald Trump is very smart 3. Everyone loves Donald Trump ---

Fox News is referring to all the U.N. Delegates, from all over the world, as “elites.” No wonder they laughed! They are all snooty fancy privileged ELITES. Not salt-of-the-earth Americans like us Shitgibbon Lovers. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Thump’s cognitive dissonance will permit him to interpret this as, “The UN people were laughing WITH me at those loser Democrats and everyone else who opposes me.” He has to be right. He has to be on top. Nothing else can get through his filters. > [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Trump is claiming the people at the UN were laughing at a joke he made. > I can’t find a link now, though. > [@scr4](#): > > And he didn’t expect laughter. Right. Absolutely true that Trump always convinces himself that the negative reactions he inevitably provokes are worshipful and admiring. What everyone else sees is that his derangement inspires contempt not only for himself, but for the nation that continues to permit his Presidency. ---

And these are CAREER DIPLOMATS, who have almost certainly kept straight faces in some incredibly unbelievable situations, and they just outright laughed in his face. Couldn’t control it. I’m starting to think we’ll never recover anything resembling respect internationally after him. ---

And his family, all of them, no bargaining on that point. I wonder how much that would cost us. ---

I think there needs to be a new rule that anyone who supports the Kavanaugh nomination is not allowed to use “elite” as a pejorative ever again. ---
