Also, another great job!

"Joe Lieberman no longer wants to be considered for FBI director."

Who the fuck would at this point.

I'll do it!

so i am not an expert but my understanding of sub stuff is that you don't tell anyone where the boomers are

this is real 'merkin muffley calling dimitri kissov' level shit right here, jesus christ

POTUS: Do you suppose you could turn down the music, Rodrigo, I can't hear you well

part of me wants him to just select Guiliani. make the Senate confirm that shitbag (good chance they wouldn't but you really can't predict anything anymore).

giuliani can be fbi director only on the stipulation that he must forevermore wear that dress and wig he had on in the infamous video of him and trump yukkin' it up

god no wonder Trump thinks the media is out to get him. he looks at all these other leaders who get to murder their own people with impunity and no doubt wonders why he can't catch a break. I'm sure he'd love to execute all the bad hombres but then mean old Anderson Cooper would call him names.

he's gonna be real bored when he gets to belgium, it's like he had dessert before his starter

Is tranvestisism a respected tradition among FBI bosses since the days of Hoover?

if it's not it should be

Maybe Flynn can head the FBI - Trumps want's em back right?

Trump says he will never forget what the Pope said to him.

5:1 odds he said "you deserve all that is coming to you"

The power of Christ compels you!

no way to knwo if Trump bugged the Vatican

"Today I learned there is a MegaHeaven that only the best people can get to. But you can only get there today and you have to jump off of that mountain"

man i wish i had the kind of steel-trap legal mind that would let me appear on national tv to crow about being involved in some big-boy politics and then, a few months later, bald-facedly deny that any of it happened xp

How unshocking!

You can't give him the benefit of the doubt on this and he's telling you what was in his heart? You always want to go by what's come out of his mouth rather than look at what's in his heart.

The Trump Organization Says It's 'Not Practical' to Comply With the Emoluments Clause

In response to a document request from the House Oversight Committee, Trump’s company sent a copy of an eight-page pamphlet detailing how it plans to track payments it receives from foreign governments at the firm’s many hotels, golf courses, and restaurants across the globe. But while the Trump Organization said it would set aside all money it collects from customers that identify themselves as representing a foreign government, it would not undertake a more intensive effort to determine if a payment would violate the Constitution’s prohibition on public office holders accepting an “emolument” from a foreign state.

“To fully and completely identify all patronage at our Properties by customer type is impractical in the service industry and putting forth a policy that requires all guests to identify themselves would impede upon personal privacy and diminish the guest experience of our brand,” the Trump Organization wrote in its policy pamphlet, which the company’s chief compliance officer said had been distributed to general managers and senior officials at all of its properties.

still haven't seen any credible suits w standing under the emoluments clause, unfortunately

why the prez can't openly take bribes is beyond me

I liked this one, too:

with Trump all things are possible

y'all are wrong about what happened in the Vatican. K-Lo has the goods:

President Trump was there with the First Lady and his daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, now both administration officials, among others, including the Secretary of State. After meeting with the pontiff, the president could be heard saying: “I won’t forget what you said.” Both he and his wife appeared to be moved by the visit — it would be hard not to be.

Watching early in the morning U.S. times – the cable channels and EWTN, the Catholic channel were covering it live – it all seemed quite respectful, quite warm, quite human. One can imagine for a president who does appear somewhat in over his head, the encounter with a holy man, while official, could have also been a respite. (After all, is it possible that the most used word last week — especially in the media, but also in private conversations by non-politicos “impeachment”?)

Some of the photos seem to suggest as much.

Headlines and commentaries in the past — and today — suggest the two opponents. Taking the pope at his word, he wanted to hear the president out. Taking the president and the First Lady at their word — and tweets — there was something more about this day than other days.

nailed it

apparently sean spicer is a devout catholic and wanted to meet the pope, and trump left him off the guest list at the vatican meeting. LOL

This isn't pulling any punches (and belongs here given all the other things we keep hearing about)
