Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

Trump says he "wasn't aware" Sessions had the convo 38 minutes ago.

walkinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn back

George Will's semi-pan of Nixonland in the NYT is fun to revisit

“How did Nixonland end?” Perlstein asks in the book’s last line. “It has not ended yet.” But almost every page of Perlstein’s book illustrates the sharp contrast rather than a continuity with America today. It almost seems as though Perlstein, who was born in 1969, is reluctant to let go of the excitement he has experienced secondhand through the archives he has ransacked to such riveting effect.

“We Americans,” he says, “are not killing or trying to kill one another anymore for reasons of ideology, or at least for now. Remember this: This war has ratcheted down considerably. But it still simmers on.”

Not really. America has long since gone off the boil. The nation portrayed in Perlstein’s compulsively readable chronicle, the America of Spiro Agnew inciting “positive polarization” and the New Left laboring to “heighten the contradictions,” is long gone.

So exquisitely sensitive are Americans today, they worked themselves into a lather of disapproval when Hillary Clinton said that Lyndon Johnson as well as Martin Luther King was important in enacting civil rights legislation. There has not been a white male secretary of state for 11 years. Today a woman and an African-American are competing relatively civilly for the right to run for president against the center-right — more center than right — senator who occupies the seat once held by Goldwater. Whoever wins will not be president of Nixonland.

no that's the same interview xp

"not aware, total confidence"

TBF, 'not aware, total/zero confidence' describes pretty much every manager I've ever had.

"im totally not aware of my total confidence in sessions" xp

But none of them had the codes to America's nuclear arsenal, I don't think.

what are the chances he doesn't have the real launch codes

"1-2-3-4-5? Same as on my luggage!"

i just hope everyone learns their lesson from all this. taxes are theft; therefore, republicans should always get the benefit of the doubt

sequel to lag00n's famous caption

session session about to start

Neat http://www.campaignlegalcenter.org/news/press-releases/fec-complaint-trump-filed-false-campaign-report-violation-election-law

He will recuse, apparently.

He pretty much had to at this point.

man fuck this cracker ass motherfucker

not good enough

xp

Of course it's not but the chance of him resigning over this as it stands wasn't there. (Later? Who can say.)

I've never listened to him actually speak before but he is such a caricature of a white Southern Senator jfc, he's basically Senator Tankerbell

agreed Ned - kinda wonder what else is gonna drop/how much worse this is gonna get

is her nervous? he seems like a forrest gump level intellect if not.

okay now we're half-way there. recuse sounds so much like resign it even has the same number of letters in it.

Recuse me while I kiss the sky.

Wow, when asked if Sessions told the truth to Congress, Trump seriously answered "probably?"

I like how his explanation has nothing to do with his perjury. Just followin the advice of his staff!

xp

that's like the Dilbert equivalent of the Nuremberg defense.

I know context makes it less stoopid, but he said "WH counsel doesn't know the ethics rules."

I thought he said specifically Spicer and Trump don't know the rules.

@JSwiftTWS
Schumer just said: "I am not a lawy.." then realized, yes, he is a lawyer.

Pivoted to say "legal expert."

loooooool

I mean christ he was reading that like it was a 2nd grade show and tell presentation

i hope that SXSW thing leads to artists boycotting or backing out, fuck those people.

I always thought he looked like he could be Beverly Leslie's twin brother

lol at Sessions recusing despite Trump saying not to. I'm sure he'll take that well.

i think trump will be more worried that the press conference was low energy

"and that SUIT, what were you thinking man?"

"also please pin your ears back next time"

Trump preps Sessions for next time:

Pence looks more like Hank Hill's father than Sessions

his recusal done, sessions slips into something more comfortable
