The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

President Obama said it best when he pointed out that the presidency doesn’t change you. It simply amplifies the person you are.

I’ve never *not *been disgusted by Trump. Now I’m even more disgusted, as well as aghast at the position that we, the people, have given him in to take down our country.

That’s the really sad thing. Trump is a symptom, not a cause.

I agree with Elijah Cummings, this is a fight for the soul of our democracy. If Trump and his supporters – and I don’t mean just the Infowars/Drudge ones, but the Mercers, Peter Thiel, Sheldon Adelson, Carl Icahn, Steven Mnuchin, T. Boone Pickens and others – prevail in their warped, selfish vision for our country, we will no longer be our country.

More Breaking News from WaPo:

A current senior Trump advisor is under investigation in the Russia probe.

This smells like a Karl Rove/Dan Rather tactic to me.

a) it’s just too perfectly damning
b) Spicer didn’t deny it, and he’s never had any trouble lying before
c) while the other cable news channels are going crazy over it, Fox News is covering tornadoes in Oklahoma

As much as I would like it to be true, I think it’s a way for Trump to prove to the idiots in this country that anything that the media (other than Fox) reports about him is a lie.

ETA: and I say that even if they have a tape.

Read by one official, confirmed by another. According to article, these are from the official WH notes of the meeting.

“The White House document that contained Mr. Trump’s comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting. One official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion.”

It’s currently the top story on the Fox News website. Of course they ended the story with a “the real story are the leaks” defense by Spicer.

He’s already at Step 3: blame the leaks.

twitter is the site that makes it quick and easy to grunt on the internets

It’s not true until Putin confirms it with his own recordings, taken from the gift the Russian foreign minister left behind on the shelf.

I dunno. You can’t trust what the WH says, so why trust what they write?

Wow, the shit is really hitting the fan this afternoon. I can’t believe the fan blades can actually turn anymore as much shit as it’s taken this week.

Just since Air Force One left for Saudi Arabia:

“Comey is a nut job and this will take the pressure off the investigation.”
“This reaches the highest levels in the West Wing”
"The FBI believes there is a coverup. (The last one just came out and is based on the Senate’s briefing from Rothstein. He didn’t say it explicitly but multiple Senators say that’s the only logical conclusion based upon what he did say)

At this point, Trump should probably just land AF1 on the Red Square and be done with it.

Now wouldn’t that be a helluva scandal: millionaire POTUS defects to Russia less than 6 months into term.

I’d pay to see that movie!

Oh, wait…

That’s the headline I’m waiting for:

“Trump seeks asylum in Moscow”
There are odds for impeachment, odds for resignation… are there any odds for “defection”?

When I think “Trump”, I definitely think “asylum.”

Y’know, we really should retire the phrase “smoking gun” if finding, like, twenty of them doesn’t change anything.

He’s already cancelled his visit to Masada entirely after being told he couldn’t land his helicopter on it.

Has anyone told him that urinating on the Wailing Wall is probably a bad idea?

Thanks for the chuckle, good sir.

When is Spice-boy going to realize that this administration is self-undermining?

AF1 is too big. You need a Cessna to pull that off.
