I'm laughing at this more than I probably should

the best part is watching all the people in my industry who were very MAGA for a year slowly lose their resolve about MAGAing and saying out loud maybe this guy doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing

That's nice but it's only partway to sanity. They may retreat from full-throated Trumpitude but still think the other options are worse. All the same etc.

John Brannon

Did I say John Brennan? Actually it was John Barron. I mean Bannon. Crap. These cats need more different names

I'll take some realization over none.

Sixteen thousand people, many of them in Texas, for whatever reason that is. People went out in their boats to watch the hurricane,” Trump said. “That didn't work out too well. That didn't work out too well.”

When asked later to confirm if people were out on boats to gawk at the storm, Abbott said he had “no information one way or another about that.”

According to sources close to him, all Trump needs to lend his stamp of approval to a new book is positive coverage of the book on Fox News. Trump associates and White House aides all acknowledged that it is rare he actually reads the book himself https://t.co/q5DfW1HvJK

— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) June 6, 2018

Six months from now it'll say "Trump associates and White House aides all acknowledged that he cannot actually read above a second grade level, but that the greatest Americans have always communicated in pictograms."

(aide hands DJT an Executive Order) "Mr President, could you please draw one of your funny fuzzy caterpillars with this Magic Marker? It's for a friend."

a BIPARTISAN res to limit the president's tariff powers? Every Beltway pundit just creamed his/her pantaloons.

Oopsy.

On April 11, I called Trump’s favorite architect to ask about jobs he did in Eastern Europe that recently drew Mueller’s eye.

Within hours, John Fotiadis closed down his 10 yr old architecture firm, deleted his portfolio and left Twitter. He’s still MIA.https://t.co/1hSyqfbARP

— Christina Wilkie (@christinawilkie) June 7, 2018

(He's not totally truly MIA, but he is now working for a commercial architecture firm in Montvale, New Jersey, so make yer own jokes.)

Hahah!

Hey remember when Assange DM'd Hannity asking him to reach out on an encrypted app?

That's nice but it's only partway to sanity. They may retreat from full-throated Trumpitude but still think the other options are worse. All the same etc.

as long as they can be persuaded that voting is futile and they should just stay home, i'll be happy

seb gorka not recognizing game : /

Was gonna say, that description makes Rodman sound like presidential material to me.

the day after this nightmare is over they're going to tell us it would be too "political" and "destructive" to investigate all the crimes and atrocities currently being committed

— Official Centrism (@pareene) June 6, 2018

Probably. On the other hand, tons of cases are already in court and are going to outlast his presidency, that stuff is going to have long-term consequences.

i have my doubts.

Too many constitutional issues have been raised and are going to require being addressed. Some people in trump’s circle are likely to go to jail. I doubt he will suffer any personal consequences himself.

Things are definitely going to be investigated tho. They already are.

I can already see the fight in 2018 being between "investigate and prosecute Trump's circle for the real crimes they have committed" and centrist "OMG you can't threaten to jail your political opponents, are we no better than they are", an argument which the latter side will win and then proceed to lose elections with

Seems like one of his macho posturing things. I don't need any water, I am the ship of the desert!

But Pence just mindlessly repeating the action. Were both bottles empty? Who knows. It just looks ridiculous when Pence monkey-do’s

Trump is going to retain the title President as long as he lives, which in itself is pretty revolting innit?
Would love to see him stripped of the title

re water, clearing the tabletop of clutter for a photo to be taken I believe.

Trump is going to retain the title President as long as he lives, which in itself is pretty revolting innit?
Would love to see him stripped of the title

― Stevolende,

Considering his diet and that he'll be, what, 78 when he leaves office in 2014 he won't live long

he's going to live to 120

^^^

these assholes always take FOREVER to die

As long as he's stuck in the middle of a human centipede for the last 50, I can live with it.

Get crackin', mad scientists.

no cracks about millenials allowed today

"Maybe Mueller's witnesses, I don't know," Hannity said on air. "If I advised them to follow Hillary Clinton’s lead, delete all your emails and then acid-wash your emails and hard drives on the phones, then take your phones and bash them with a hammer to little itsy bitsy pieces, use BleachBit, remove the sim cards and then take the pieces and hand them over to Robert Mueller, and say, Hillary Rodham Clinton, this is equal justice under the law."

feel like it's maybe illegal to suggest this on air, but what do I know

nothing is true, everything is permitted - hillary clinton

I can already see the fight in 2018 being between "investigate and prosecute Trump's circle for the real crimes they have committed" and centrist "OMG you can't threaten to jail your political opponents, are we no better than they are", an argument which the latter side will win and then proceed to lose elections with

i'd agree that the fight is going to happen, but assuming an outcome is not really warranted. yeah, that's the way it turned out in 1974, that's the way it turned out in 2008. both of which are a pretty good argument for not letting it turn out that way this time. i'm a disgruntled centrist - i think compromise is good and desirable and the best possible basis for government. i'm also persuaded it's impossible right now. the natural tendency of elected representatives to forgive and compromise has been, and is likely to continue to be, checked by the refusal of the people who elected them to allow it.

LET POTUS MASTURBATE AGAIN #lpga

xp

I knew the '70s were back but man, even acid-washed emails

Appears Pruitt has resigned.

Really worth reading: WaPo got audio of Trump's closed-door FEMA "hurricane briefing," in which Trump just rambled about midterm polls, the economy, Foxconn, coal, the popularity of his cabinet, Air Force One, and aircraft technology, among other things. https://t.co/8tsaYtRULJ

where are you guys seeing this Pruitt news?

kinda would've preferred he stayed in tbh, his replacement isn't going to be any better and a distracted/embattled evil EPA head probably preferable to one who isn't. but idk maybe chaos at the dept is the best we can hope for.
