Why don’t people call it what it is – fealty?
Were they white children?
Sorry. After a while it’s hard to absorb the shocks to the system that he puts out every day. This is disturbing, if not surprising, news. 
Nah. Fealty is predicated on mutual benefit, simplifiedly “you obey me, I protect you from evil/famine/poverty”. Trump is into a more unilateral principle : “You obey me, or I’ll do my utmost to fuck you up forever”. One has or can have merit (when sincere), the other is strictly predatory. And if the latter can be used as a reinforcement or reminder of the former, Trump has never really been into the former at all. At best, his pitch to his “friends” is “stick with me and you can run your own grifts”, not “and you can share the profits of mine”.
Rachel Maddow piece about how the conspiracy theory that it was Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election, rather than Russia, originated with Putin and Russian intelligence.
Putin/Russia will also surely have electronically eavesdropped recordings of Sondland’s phone calls with Trump from Ukraine - which he chose to make from his cellphone rather than a secure embassy phone - and therefore have evidence of impeachable offense(s) by the U.S. president. That’s some kompromat right there.
Tells you they’re all fucking stupid?
Doesn’t bother me. To hell with him.
What does bother me is, he’ll either not get as many DECADES as he deserves, or Barr and Trump will move him to a “country club” and/or pardon him.
And they do not understand the constitution.
Today, the Biggest Loser, who you may recall has the best genes and is the healthiest president ever, showed up unannounced at Walter Reed for “portions” of his physical, which is scheduled for February.
Gotta make sure he can keep up his breakneck pace of yelling at the TV and playing golf, after all.
I sure hope his thumbs get a thorough check-up! It’s very important that they remain in tip-top shape, or our gummint will grind to a halt! (Would that really be so bad?)
I’m looking forward to reading Dr. Feelgood’s report on the soon-to-be Former President’s state of [del]mind[/del] health.
Is that hippie still in charge of his health? This is why I hope for an emergency situation, so we get a real report for once.
I don’t know if he is, but he gives such good reports I’m guessing DJT will keep him on [del]the leash[/del] retainer.
I would not want to be the medic tasked with pulling them out of where he keeps them and wiping them down, but thank goodness for gloves.
Sounds like he had a coronary or a stroke or something.
Time to insert the monkey glands. And administer a few hypos of whatever illegal drug kept JFK going.
He’s not sure what kind of coverage he’ll have in February, or if they will cover preexisting conditions.
Heh! I’m reminded of Michael Moore’s attempted visit to Gitmo, to highlight the ironically excellent medical care for the the detainees there.
Gitmo…hmmm…
Move current inmates out.
Change signage from Guantanamo Bay to Mar a Lago.
Move Trumps in.
The White House has called a lid for today. Curious.
Very interesting. Related to doc visit maybe? I hope?
I mean, one does need a full day to recover from a partial doctor’s physical, after all.
True. Whenever I bring my dog or one of my two cats home from a physical at the vet, they sack out for the rest of the day. Oh, wait… they do that most days. 
The test will be whether he tweets today. Twitter watchers, please keep an eye out and report in the appropriate thread. Thank you.
