Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

It's just very fucked up such a person rose to this level.

Anybody can be president!

Its what makes america great iirc

he didnt rise, he was elevated by a pack of anomic citizens

my congressman!

If recent allegations are true, they mark the beginning of a new and very sad chapter of scandal and controversy in our country.

John Kasich is such a dork

He keeps fucking congratulating himself during this town hall

> what I would expect from both the worst person and worst president ever.

Also, limiting your staff/appointments to those who would voluntarily associate with DJT.

Fuck John Kasich

Frankly, I would have preferred had Kasich taken the opportunity to be in charge of foreign and domestic policy, so that Twitler could get on with MAGA.

He's such a snake. He keeps saying the Democrats need to be careful not to exploit the fact that the Republicans nominated an actual monster.

fuck you your whole party and most of your voting base are monsters, Kasich

Republicans talking about the virtues of "not exploiting" something kinda like GG Allin warning of the risks of e. coli

Bernie digggging in

ugh at Bernie's tweet, fuck respecting the office and the lying killers who've inhabited it

Obv Republican reaction has been muted but there are definitely more GOP voices than during previous Trump scandals speaking out. I mean, make no bones, it's far too few of them and most of them are guarded or severely bet-hedging statements, but they all seem to be testing the waters more than they were with some of the previous scandals.

This isn't just conjecture, this is alleged evidence of trying to obstruct justice from the only-recently ousted FBI Director. This is a bit harder to double-talk your way out of, which is why so many GOPers have opted just for silence instead of their typical rhetoric.

(FOX has brought the unintentional LOLs tonight as per usual)

The Republican Party needs to dieeeeeeeee

Kasich is lecturing his listeners on brotherhood and empathy meanwhile his party wants to rip people's health care away.

I'm not sure what better group would arise in place of the Republican party if it died, given where the electorate is today. Would a sick and exhausted GOP be replaced by the new, energized American Fascist Party?

the Diarrhea Party would be better

Socialist Workers Party

Half split off into open fascism, the other half peel off some libertarians and Democrats and become the party of reintroducing serfdom for the poor.

My only real prediction for this presidency was that he was going to kill thousands of Americans. If we get to end his time in office without that happening I'll be surprised, thrilled and eager to fight whichever minor league pisshole comes next

This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history.

A senior official in the Trump administration, who previously worked on the president’s campaign, offered a candid and brief assessment of the fallout from that string of bad press: “I don’t see how Trump isn’t completely fucked.”

A brief aside:

Ergodan goons roughing up protesters, as DC police try to stop them (VOA Turkey twitter link)

this is a good one. the trump clips are priceless.

lol

A senior admin. official tells me the White House wants to know if there are other memos from Comey's time at FBI -- on Obama, Clinton?

wow Seth Meyers is as thoroughly unfunny as i always assumed

I never watch those videos, your late night TV smartarses all look the same to me

already getting tired of the "controversial" liberal hot takes - "Comey memo provides ZERO EVIDENCE".

Yes - his memo was intended to start the conversation, not complete the conversation. The evidence comes afterward when it's subpoenaed and when Comey testifies.

yes he's a jilted ex-lover but I sincerely doubt he's making it up.

it is kind of humorous to me that Trump apparently still doesn't realize the illegal things he does and says as a CEO are much more likely to become public knowledge when he does them as the President.

good mourning!

I like the moment five minutes in where he just becomes angry and yells 'PRESIDENT STUFF!' with hatred in his eyes. And then it's back to the smarm.

President Trump on everything but roller skates!

yes he's a jilted ex-lover

gaaaaahhhhhh my poor unprepared imagination just assaulted me with some seriously traumatic visuals

"I've been going out with a girl, her name is Julie, but last night she said to me while we were watching telly...."

lololol

EXPLETIVE DELETED

!!!

Kremlin aide says Putin prepared to provide transcript, not audio recording, of Trump and Lavrov meeting

i'd like to think lavrov straight-up asked trump to speak clearly and loudly into lavrov's lapel flower and trump gladly obliged

come on Putin no teasing let's see it, this could be another Economist interview

I have that transcript right here:

"Lavrov: We can has intelligence?
Trump: No! I would never leak intelligence!
Lavrov: Good, we were just testing you. You are a firm but fair partner in world peace.
Trump: Ha ha, you almost got me, Lavrov."

(xxp) "Hey you're not going to squirt water on me now, are you, Sergey? No? OK then".

"But Donald, I thought you liked Russians squirting water on you."
"Hey, keep it down Sergey, you never know who might be listening."

L-R: Putin, Lavrov

there'd be a pleasing arc if putin manages to take trump out of the white house after helping to put him there in the first place

i mean the smoking ruin of us democracy it would leave in its wake would be troubling don't get me wrong but
