I’d set the bars vertically, about four inches apart.
56.1% disapproval rate in the RCP average of polls. The highest in Trump’s presidency so far, and much, much higher than any other president at this point in their term.
The whole Trump family is delusional.
Dear Eric Trump:
I’m a people of this country, and I hate your Dad’s fuckin’ guts.
Can’t say as I’m overly fond of you, either.

As the sign on Teh Donald’s desk eloquently puts it: “What’s this buck doing here? I bet Obama left it lying around! Get it the hell off of my desk…”
Rod Wheeler, a private investigator and Fox News contributor, was hired to look into the Seth Rich murder. He was paid by a wealthy Trump supporter who wanted to advance the discredited conspiracy theory that Rich was murdered to silence him because of something he allegedly knew about the DNC email hack.
Wheeler provided some information to Fox reporter Malia Zimmerman. Fox then collaborated on the story with the White House, including getting direct edits from President Trump himself, to make sure the story that went out was as advantageous to the White House as possible. Trump himself inserted into the article fabricated quotes that were attributed to Wheeler.
Wheeler has sued Fox News for attributing these quotes to him. The lawsuit contains evidence such as text messages, voicemails, and recordings of phone conversations. It’s a solid paper trail.

Washington Post timeline of events
The president and a media outlet colluding to plant fake news, to deflect attention from the Trump clusterfuck. Not that I’m surprised it’s happened, just that the evidence is so solid. It’s like the Donald Trump Jr. emails where he admits to meeting with the Russians to get dirt on Clinton. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the brazenness and stupidity of memorializing a crooked plot in easily discoverable documentation.
Oh, and, ::golf clap::
Just like they are trying to say about RussiaGate, this would just be another sinister plot by the Clinton-Obama shadow government to “get” him.
More classic projection. Trump working directly with Fox News to push a falsified story, complete with made-up quotes.
Trump and co. just assume that EVERYone is as devoid of morals as they are, and EVERYone must be doing the same shady shit.
I like his cartoons, but I obviously don’t agree with his personal views.
Right now he is sitting on the sanctions bill that Congress sent for his signature (after voting for it 98 to 2). He’s trying to say he never got it. The receipts and paper trail say different.
However what he is most likely trying to do (and what some advisor probably told him because he isn’t smart enough to figure it out himself) is…
It becomes law without the president’s signature in 10 days (excluding Sundays) unless Congress adjourns during this 10-day period in which case the bill dies. If the bill dies because Congress was not in session to receive the vetoed bill, that is called a “pocket veto.”.
He’s hoping he can sneak in a pocket veto while they are away on recess.
I’d feel safer amongst the wolverines.
So the weepy whiney bitch gene runs in the family.
You get what you sow, motherfuckers.
What keeps him from removing sanctions and other stuff in the bill before it goes into effect?
That would be tantamount to a line item veto, which has been found to be unconstitutional.
I don’t a pocket veto is possible since the Senate never officially adjourns. Pro forma sessions were started to deny recess appointments to Obama, Democrats can do the same by filibustering motions to adjourn.
I worded that badly, I don’t mean removing stuff from the bill, but removing the sanctions before the bill takes effect.
Is he really saying he never got it? :smack: Any cite?
Next it will be “Dog ate it”.
“The Obamas’ dogs ate it! Bad or sick dogs!”
Trump said exactly this in the <I forget which> interview. In effect, “Politics is dirty and everyone does it.” (I’m having a hard time keeping up with his B.S.)
It kills me that everyone says that The Don is the greatest at everything. Foul shots, spirals a football through a tire, is the “best fighter in the world.”
It’s like North Koreans talking about Kim Jung, but without the threat of facing the firing squad. So far.
Well, the Russians were trying to elect Hilary. If they weren’t, imagine how bigly he would have won the popular vote!
