Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

It's a trick question, no one is close to the president.

I thought Kushner was amateur at everything he was trampling on. So hardly official, or is that proffessional.
Would give me most joy right now if it was Sessions.
Bannon just needs to sink further into the drain they're already swamping.

able to speak in a register that rings as 'authentic' in 2020.

so not the register we heard much too loud and close to the mic in 2016

"I'm hearing that the Mueller investigation is likely to take at least 2 years. So isn't there anything that will sort things out faster?"

part of me keeps thinking he'll just resign. make some excuse. blame the swamp until he dies. leave us in the capable hands of mike pence. and then he can say hey i was da president and eat steak and go golfing until he farts to death. of course it might not end up being his idea. he might have to resign before they bring charges against him.

i mean he's REALLY good at being a martyr. it's one of his greatest strengths. he was born to be a disgraced ex-president.

OTM. He could just be like Billy Joel and sell out Madison Square Garden (or the buttholeville equivalent) once a month to keep the money/praise flowing.

The tRUMP tHEATER of Branson MO

my money is on him resigning before the end of the year

Depends, how much are you willing to pay him to resign?

Mr. Trump dismissed talk about a split inside his White House between aides with a nationalist or globalist orientation. “Hey, I’m a nationalist and a globalist,” he said. “I’m both. And I’m the only one who makes the decision, believe me.”

Is that a real quote?

Surreal that I cannot tell the difference

uh oh, someone needs to tell donnie that in some countries, not every gold-plated thing you sit on is a toilet

Every photo of Trump looks like an artist's​ rendering.

haha I thought he had a longer-than-usual tie till I realized it was just the reflection

not wearing my glasses

they gave him some dookie rope too.

rehire Comey IMO

barring everything else, dude is showing a deadly amount of competence in his dealings with Trump

it'll be interesting to see what the prevailing view on comey is after all this. there has obviously been a lot of (frankly) highly partisan speculation regarding his motives every since the email thing, but his dealings with trump make it seem like maybe he just does consider himself a true independent and made an honest miscalculation wrt to the email investigation announcement. and recall he was hired for his FBI job by another guy who liked to see himself as a post-partisan leader and made his own share of political miscalculations based on that

his dealings with trump make it seem like maybe he just does consider himself a true independent and made an honest miscalculation wrt to the email investigation announcement.

i'd like to believe that but man, what a terribly strange "miscalculation" that was, i mean, holy shit

but it's true that his actions ever since then have been about as reassuring as they could possibly be

With Comey it really does appear that both his calculations and his miscalculations are founded upon anticipating the sort of criticism he thinks he'd be opening himself to and the strength of his revulsion in regard to that criticism. This is a variation of self-regarding where his personal feelings are allowed to override sound procedure and good advice. So, he's a straight arrow, but he doesn't always aim himself toward the right target.

Also, Trump fucks up all strategy.

As with other people's, Comey's flaws (an exaggerated sense of his rectitude) and strengths (an exaggerated sense of his rectitude) are the same.

Xpost lolol

Someone needs to reveal to Trump that ex-presidents are still referred to as Mr President / President Trump for the rest of their lives.

that is an extremely good point

He could probably be President of KFC post-Oval Office

(Interesting example of 'all politics are local' at play.)

nice

...he'll soon be out of work after a 26-year-old assistant band director at the local high school beat him in a Democratic primary.

...wait, BIFF RENDAR?

biff rendar was a snow speeder pilot on hoth iirc

you're thinking of his brother, dash rendar. and yes, i played the hell out of that game on the n64.

Unless Comey's testimony directly leads to an impeachment I think he's pretty much bound to go down in history as the dude who directly cost Hillary Clinton the election.

when did Chris Matthews say that

Between Kim Dotcom convincing Sean Hannity he knows who killed Seth Rich and Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor saying that the Supreme Court has already impeached Trump, it's a GREAT day for morons.

rehire Comey IMO

lol no, get someone even dumber in then dismantle the fuckin FBI

the dude who directly cost Hillary Clinton the election.

no, that guy's name is Trump i think

"It is as if some unseen adversary has copied Mr. Trump’s own velocity and ferocity in an attempt to destroy him, several people close to the president said."
