Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

Also given that he's so stupid, I find it gently ironic that what he's accused of giving away is called "intelligence."

Well, it was "code-word" intelligence. Maybe Trump thought it was a guessing game?

Was wondering earlier if being fired by 45 now was a bonus on your resumé.

His base who get news filtered through Drudge won't know this is much of a big deal.

let's round up some former apprentice contestants and find out xp

funnily enough the top story on drudge right now is the explosive 'DEAD DNC STAFFER 'HAD CONTACT' WITH WIKILEAKS'

Why does it take him 10 minutes to post a two part tweet?

That's fast for him

It took him 10 minutes to type the first one.

it's because he spends the intervening period artisanally hand-crafting each word with input from master strategist steve bannon iirc

He's probably dictating it as he craps to some staffer standing outside the White House bathroom.

I can totally imagine Trump making everyone rotate through bathroom tweet duty. "Bannon, take your position, I feel a tweet coming!"

based on what we know about his diet i don't think trump's bowels have moved since 1997

the shit just comes out of his mouth amiritezzzzzzzz

and yet here you are every morning ready to human centipede it

what am i going to do instead, the work i'm being paid for?

We all must play our essential role in passing the shit down the line. It takes a village (of people whose lips are sewn to other people's assholes).

why are you guys talking about Trump and russia when the real story is john podesta literally murdering some guy ?

Lol wtf Adam

Ok, he's now left 40+ minutes without finishing his current tweet.

Tweets by committee this AM

Imagine going to bed after last night's shouting match knowing you have to get up early to help him not say the wrong thing on social media.

Too little, too late

He finally lost Chappelle.

good on him I guess, always thought that "give him a chance" shit was idiotic given how many chances he'd gotten throughout the entire campaign

all we are saying is give sleaze a chance

All I am saying is give Pence a chance.

Why, no doubt, Senator.

McConnell: "We could do with a little less drama from the White House on a lot of things."

BREAKING: Sen. McCain just raised his threat level to "furrowed brow," while Sen. Graham has gone from "concerned" to "very concerned."

Ha, that's funny.

I expect we'll start seeing some strokes and cardiac events among the more senior GOP Congresspeople in the weeks and months to come. The stress of tamping down your personal alarm so you can present a united front of mild concern about, say, Trump openly masturbating during a press conference...it takes its toll.

I don't see what the big deal is, Russia just denied any classified information was shared with them, let's all move on now.

Meh, this board can do better.

All I am saying is give Treesh a chance.

leaking classified information to russia in the oval office right after firing the guy who was investigating whether or not you got russia's help to win the election.

sorry, just had to type that once.

carry on.

the republican president revealed more information to the russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies

"while Sen. Graham has gone from "concerned" to "very concerned."

wow, we are at GRAHAMCON 3. amazing.

he's so useless and he will outlive all of us.

i like how the only halfhearted excuses i'm hearing boil down to: he is a newborn baby and he doesn't know where he is.

Taken en toto it's all so surreal. Manafort linked to Russia, fired. Flynn linked to Russia, fired. Sessions linked to Russia, recused (ha). Nunes leaks to Trump, recused. Comey investigates Russia, fired. The last bit of the timeline is the most bonkers. Comey fired. Trump people blame Rosenstein, but the next day Trump takes credit for firing Comey, for Russia. Trump meets with Russians in oval office THE NEXT DAY. (No American cameras, but Russian media takes pictures). Trump leaks classified info. Trump people deny it, and the next day Trump takes credit. You can't make this shit up.

I see the_donald is back on the "BUT HILLARY LITERALLY MURDERED A DUDE" train

Just one dude?

I wonder if he knows he won't necessarily be running against Hillary again

xpost It was a pumpkin iirc

If the dude dropped dead today, his tenure as president would still merit, like, an expansive three-volume biography. History is going to have a bitch of a time following all of these threads, because it's a mind-bending tangle to follow in real time.

i do also hate a world where david brooks ends up being my new hero:

"We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar."

xpost I'm not sure which biographer will want to tackle Trump. Reagan drove Edmund Morris into the realm of fiction

if only there was some sort of, say, official investigation which could help untangle this knotted mess xxp

"We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar."

six seems generous

also that's close enough to president brainstem that i'll be consulting my lawyers

reminds me of this all-time essay from sam biddle about teenagers:

Would you interview a bee? Should tech investors study a pile of wobbling sea foam?
