Uh-Oh. According to [The Washington Examiner](http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hannity-says-hes-close-to-going-there-with-joe-scarborough-and-mike-brzezinski/article/2627638) (:p) Sean “Little Joe Goebbels” Hannity tweeted Saturday saying he was very close to going “there” with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski because he “is sick of their BS.” Hannity, sick of bullshit? Imagine that. C’mon C’mon, try harder. 😃 ---

When the troll says, “Jump!” all his minions ask is “How high?” as their fingers (or thumbs) fly across the keyboard.

That would be nice to see if Pence and TWWFA (The World’s Worst Fucking Asshole) are really genuinely [not getting along.](http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article159164854.html) > [@](#): > > A half-dozen Republicans, including four who advised or worked for Trump’s campaign or transition and are still in contact with their former colleagues, said they think the two sides are talking less, disagreeing more and occasionally bad mouthing each others’ bosses. One said the staffs are “walled off” from each other. Several of the Republicans asked to not speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the situation. ---

[‘I’m president and they’re not’](http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-rally-veterans-media-evangelical-christians-religious-freedom-terrorism-2017-7-2). Trump slams media in speech honoring veterans. Trump appeared on a stage decorated with a massive American flag. Choirs performed “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and other hymns and debuted a song with the lyrics “_make America great again_” :eek: :smack: :smack: :smack: (Hint: The melody is to the song [“Pop Goes the Weasel”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icLaIPLpIo8)). The event was sponsored by the usual suspects, [The First Baptist Dallas](http://www.firstdallas.org/) and [The Salem Media Group](http://salemmedia.com/). ---

“Mr. Trump praised American veterans and promised to defend religious liberty in America.” With the exception of Muslims, right? ---

> [@Okrahoma](#): > > See, it’s so much fun to see idiots like you grabbing at straws in your hatred of Trump. Seriously, how many times have you read stories that insisted that THIS time it’s the end of Trump. Indictments are coming. Just wait 24 business hours. He is doomed!!!11!!! > > Hilarious. This story will die just like a few dozen stories before it. But as I said, it is good that the media keeps feeding you guys this crap. It keeps your little brains busy instead of getting some weird ideas like James Hodgkinson. Why did you quote me in the above post? I’ve made no claims whatever regarding Trump’s future. You certainly seem to have a hard time comprehending junior high-level English, don’t you? Actually, if it wasn’t for the whole “policies that seem bound and determined to result in vast numbers of innocents dead and/or in poverty” thing, I’d be perfectly fine with President Tangletongue in power for the full two terms. For low comedy, he’s the gift that never stops giving. ---

Less than seven months into Traitor Trump’s “accomplishments.” Look at his rapid descent into excessive juvenileness with his tweets, and the descent is only gaining speed, as witnessed by his tweets of the past week including the video this mornig. The record disapproval ratings this soon into his presidency. And there are people who thinks this shitbag could be reelected? That he could magically somehow turn himself around – which he shows no signs of being interested in doing – and make a success of his presidency? No way. Has Traitor Trump made any statement about the Arkansas shooting yet, or has he been too busy making childish videos for his Twitter feed.
