US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

One of my bandmate spotted John Brennan at a carnival a few days ago, wearing shorts and riding the bumper cars with (one presumes) a grandchild. Incidentally Brennan and my dad were on a softball team together in the 1970s.

Kim Jong Un is going to love this. Rudy Giuliani: The N. Korean leader got “on his hands and knees and begged” for the summit to be held.@felschwartzhttps://t.co/0mm9K4n3bo

Rudy is possibly the only person dumber than Trump

people made fun of Kim K but she managed to get Trump to actually do something decent, which is impressive

and I had the same thought:

I wouldn’t be surprised if part of this was a way to give a retroactive black eye to Obama for not pardoning her himself.

his motives were not to be decent though but rather to align himself with personalities he believes can benefit him in some way. xp

plus that xp

Grudges, he's got 'em

SCOOP: When Trudeau pressed Trump on national security justification for tariffs on Canada Trump responded: “didn’t you guys burn down the WH?” That was Britain during the War of 1812 https://t.co/tj4iHX7wPD

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) June 6, 2018

kinda wish Britain would do a repeat at the moment tbh

You burn down Buckingham Palace, we burn down the White House, deal?

As someone else pointed out, Canadians *do* take credit for that a lot so him citing it seems like fair game to me

Canada did something good once?

Long ago.

O ancient of days

If the War of 1812 did not happen we probably would not have the Star Spangled Banner, so Trump should be grateful and more patriotic.

that goat rodeo image upthread is a+++++

:D

speaking of dumb fucks, james comey everyone

good

this ought to be his legacy forever

btw throwing the election to Trump and then getting fired and smeared by him because you weren't sufficiently subservient is really the ultimate Donald Trump experience isn't it

p much

Fun times at the EPA.

Wow. EPA spox Jahan Wilcox to @elainaplott when she called for comment on this story: “You have a great day, you’re a piece of trash.” https://t.co/mXpa3Pcgug

How sweet!

I asked Scott Pruitt a quick question about the reports he tried to help his wife become a Chick-fil-A franchisee.

Meantime, something new Stormy-wise...

New Stormy Daniels lawsuit claims her former lawyer betrayed her and "hatched a plan" with Trump attorney Michael Cohen to get the adult film actress to publicly deny she had an affair with President Trump. https://t.co/RvYitjrdOO

— MSNBC (@MSNBC) June 6, 2018

Attached to the Stormy Daniels lawsuit are text messages exchanged between Michael Cohen and Daniels’ former lawyer Keith Davidson.

They’re worth a read. More here: https://t.co/N3ioPrZXlW pic.twitter.com/vV4EkWtlzr

So, it looks like Trump called in his fixer in to break the news to his wife that he was being sued as a result of his affair with a porn star.

— Susan Simpson (@TheViewFromLL2) June 6, 2018

And as long as we're talking Trump and Cohen, how about a different Trump?

This one is the most intriguing. Who are “the wise men”? pic.twitter.com/Vqj5EcZ1pL

Can you call me please?

Please call me

U calling?

U up?

Hey

The concept of "wise men", who stand out of the limelight and quietly advise public figures based on their many decades of experience, is well-established in national politics, but knowing the identity of these particular "wise men" would be intriguing.

Also, Cohen calling Stormy's lawyer "pal"!

being considered a wise man in the trump admin is some real ‘tallest dwarf’ territory

I'm guessing this collection of Wise Men is comprised of...I'll be conservative and say maybe only like 40% former Celebrity Apprentice contestants.

OT but Lunch, what about Butthurt Brecht?

NEWS: Just told by senior EPA person that Sarah Greenwalt, senior counsel to Pruitt, has also resigned. Asking EPA public affairs for confirmation. Comes after another aide Millian Hupp also resigned today

A pizza guy made a delivery to a military base in Brooklyn. A military police officer at the base asked him for his immigration documents, then called ICE, which detained him. He has two kids. https://t.co/hUf2y3XcAE

— Josh Nathan-Kazis (@joshnathankazis) June 6, 2018

time to start doxxing ice agents imo

Not to diminish the awfulness of what happened, but you can get pizza delivered to a military base??

Only from Bombino's

Sure, sure.

Giuliani on Stormy Daniels: Melania Trump 'believes her husband' https://t.co/dr4RPPwUc3

— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) June 6, 2018

the fact is no one actually gives a shit that Trump slept with a porn star. The GOP doesn't care, the Dems don't care, it won't sway votes. What does matter is legal fallout.

He's done so many worse things, this doesn't even register in the top 25. But I am rooting for plenty of legal fallout, involving revelations of illegal activity much slimier than just him cheating on his wife.

many xps but I totally misread this as "John Brannon" and got way too excited/impressed for a second

this melania android they brought out today is pretty convincing!

it helps when the human melania was a longtime resident of the uncanny valley anyway

Don't know where else to post this. Scary

eh who needs state dept employees anyway, amirite? I mean what deals did they ever make

p clear that one of the communist regimes (probably Russia, would be my guess) have some freaky new sonic weapon in their spy arsenal

didn't something similar happen in cuba or something?
