Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

Senate in 2006 flipped largely because George Allen called SR Sidarth "macaca" on camera.

One of my friends helped break this story to the press, btw

Republican contempt for the American people has never been so palpable

I guess your perspective depends on what color of American people you are.

I can't remember a time when the GOP didn't show contempt for public.

it's kind of their schtick

any republican senator who votes to remove trump from office is killing their future senatorial prospects dead. i'm not saying we won't get to the point where 20 or so republicans are willing to never eat lunch in dc again in order to get rid of him, but they have a pretty strong disincentive to throw the bum out.

I can't remember a time when the GOP didn't show contempt for public.

mid 19th century?

btw Yam used "surety" in that Coast Guard speech

hey c'mon he's not THAT old

xp

I can't remember the 19th century

Spicer says Trump will interview JOE LIEBERMAN for FBI chief later today, along with 3 other candidates.

yesssss

"So, you taping me or the Russians?"

"Ha ha ha."

...

"...you're not kidding?"

Abraham Lincoln must be ejaculating pure gold into the mouth of Alexander the Great in his grave at all this

a likely scenario of the GOP losing the House

I just don't think it's that likely. But a razor-thin majority that helps keep Paul Ryan from doing anything is pretty plausible.

oh cool might be time for a revive of Joe Lieberman RIP

what kinda crimes wd a Joementum FBI obsess on, i wonder

this is a weird thing to say but I think Lieberman is too smart to walk into this buzzsaw tbh

apparently he's agreeing to be interviewed, so....

well he loves having his ego stroked

Fun fact: Lieberman has been operating under a curse that compels him to answer "yes" to anything ever asked of him. This is why he ate a tire last week, and was on the sidewalk offering free foot rubs the other day.

kris kobach for FBI chief. investigate and revoke the franchise from everyone with less than a six figure net worth

don't give them any ideas.

He might as well nominate MC Skat Cat.

yeah I think Joe is eminently flippable

xpost I don't think that would go well, they seem like complete opposites.

*rimshot*

yeah I think Joe is eminently flippable

honestly just seems like the kind of guy who will go along with whatever you want him to if you stroke his ego enough, as shakey mentioned. a pretty rare bird these days, actually

Timing!

As for Joe

Lieberman won't say if he'd accept FBI dir job if offered. Tells @JoeNBC&@JesseRodriguez "it was unexpected. Not something I was seeking."

dude has zero law enforcement experience except this?

From 1983 to 1989, he served as Connecticut Attorney General.[25] In the 1986 general election, Lieberman won more votes than any other Democrat on the statewide ticket, including Governor William O'Neill.[26] As Attorney General, Lieberman emphasized consumer protection and environmental enforcement.

he also helped create the garbage dept. of homeland security.

"It was unexpected" and "Not something I was seeking" pretty much the two stand-by responses most would have to anything Trump does.

From the dude(s) who caused the Milo crash-and-burn, so may be worth noting:

i don't believe it. a GOP president who leaked classified info in the oval office to the russians, who just hacked our election and punked the USA, couldn't possibly be more corrupt

lol so what is Trump's travel schedule for next week - is he gonna be in Israel while Comey's testifying in the House?

Probably an advance team locating all the KFCs right now.

I'm torn. The stock market doing shitty is not a good thing for anyone, but if Stumbletrump gets blamed ...

i can't believe these bastards got me to believe in the BIG DUMP again but there u go

never change GOP

Seventy-nine percent of GOP voters approve of the job he is doing, while only 16 percent disapprove

stock market doing shitty is probably a v good thing tbph

absolutely mind boggling he can pick the replacement of the guy he fired in oder to obstruct an investigation.

To be fair, it's been a full week already, yes?

Trump's diaper is def full

This guy is seriously the worst of the worst, but I was worried about him being tapped for FBI chief! Honestly, I'd rather have him sitting in an office with nice letterhead biding time until he gets a Fox News slot (2 years max) than actually continuing to oversee police and inmates in Wisconsin.

this guy should not be anywhere near anything important . WTF

Big scoop from @JenniferJJacobs: Trump rules out moving US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Was campaign pledge. https://t.co/sMSp4Ept5C
