sorry trump—no offense

Some people say there is a lot of debate over whether Shakespeare wrote everything or if some of his plays were written by Trump.

Who knew that the one shot on Fifth Avenue would be Jared?

Because of the part about "not losing any support" as a result

NYT interviewed residents of Scranton in today's paper; overall attitude of "Politics? I'm busy."

Rudy Giuliani was nearly shouting in my phone call with him. “It is impossible that the whistle-blower is a hero and I’m not. And I will be the hero! These morons—when this is over, I will be the hero,” he told me. https://t.co/nUCGBEdAD2

I had this conversation while in an Uber and when I hung up the driver was like, "Uh, everything ok?"

These are the normal thoughts and expressions of a normal person.

another perfect call

lmao

perfect calls, perfect spirals

was walking in the local cemetery over the weekend and found a big headstone for a firefighter who died in 9/11 with a HUGE Giuliani quote on the front and I was just thinking damn THAT didn't age well...

legit hard to say whether Rudy would have been a better/worse President than Trump

worse because a lot more people think he is some kind of hero

lol as he does too.. forgot about that phone call up there

it's hard to think of many possible presidents who would've been worse than trump but i think rudy is one of them

maybe a third term of Dubya

this is gonna happen at some point

dope

I mean, def not until Trump's out of office, but with a Dem in the White House it seems like a no-brainer and it will be a huge step

Hey, guess what? It's not even Friday.

Wait, why are we confident it’s not real? The circumstantial evidence against it Ashely Feinberg notes isn’t full convincing, as she concedes herself

Could easily be a deepfake but it’s very convincing. They got the decor of the room correct

?? the biggest point that Feinberg notes against it is that the video appears to match the decor of the room in 2018, following a 2015 remodelling, and does not match photos from 2013

how many threads can we talk about the pee tape on

And tomorrow's the anniversary of Ford's testimony before the Senate.

how many threads can we talk about the pee tape on

maybe there should be a monthly US politics thread so ppl don't splash juicy stuff all over a high count of threads

I didn’t want to interrupt the real thread with the discussion of a fake tape

wait which is the real thread now

your mom

The us politics thread is the one for real time news updates.

I have *never once* posted anything frivolous or unhelpful in one of these sacred threads.

It's true: I'm the hysterical one.

But my is donald trump a psychopath thread is a little looser, conceptually. It went through many phases of mod review before being approved in its current form.

It sounds like, from the first couple of interviews I've heard, that at least the rank and file insane GOP response is just to claim all of this is perfectly normal and not at all wrong, from the conversation and Rudy coming along to everything else.

I think they’ll try to say it’s the same kind of thing as hillary paying fusion gps or whatever

I'm not even hearing that yet, the one or two gargoyles I've heard have basically just shrugged it off.

I looked at the twitter accounts of Hugh Hewitt and Mollie Hemingway and I don’t think they’ve figured out an even semi-coherent narrative, just throwing things at the wall about Hunter Biden and Adam Schiff and this obviously corrupt whistleblower.

One of the dumbest of my dumbfuck Trumper acquaintances shared a bad Photoshop of Soros w/Thunberg on FB.

I didn't do it, I'm innocent, all the witnesses should die

incoherence has not proved a stumbling block for Trump supporters in the past

how many threads can we talk about the pee tape on

The answer my friend, is pissing in the wind. The answer is pissing in the wind.

lol Rudy is apparently releasing text messages showing the state department was involved in his shenanigans.

Bold strategy

the strategy of a man with nothing to hide and every intention of going down alone if it comes to that

If Trump was Michael Corleone, he'd have probably left a notebook titled "Head of Family MURDER PLANS" on the table in a family Italian joint

What's crazy is that confirmation of State Department involvement does not let Rudy off the hook, it just makes everything worse for everybody involved.

He doesn’t want to go down alone

I liked when he said he was a “humble country lawyer” during his nervous breakdown on fox news yesterday, that was pretty good

He doesn’t want to go down alone
