Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

McCain somehow in an attempt to do something about emails ended up giving Comey the chance to repeatedly exonerate Clinton, then he became confused and seemed to not remember who was investigated for what and also he seemed to think that Comey was president for a bit

Comey was president for a bit

for three weeks in July '87, so was Ollie.

then he started masturbating while making uninterrupted eye contact with comey and comey is like...this is weird

Is it OK if a Comey watches you masturbate?

oh also meanwhile:

Majority Leader is using "Rule 14" to put ACA repeal bill on Senate Floor. They will move FAST. They are drafting a bill in secret. CALL!

and further meanwhile

Meanwhile, away from the Comey hearing, House moves to eliminate restrictions on risk-taking in the banking sector https://t.co/yroyOvTv41

Russian intrigue as a smokescreen to cover up republican evildoing

Yeah interesting that mcconnell is using the hearing as cover, such a slippery mofo

Xp

This is what Chomsky has pointed out , all the russian stuff is just the red herring while Paul Ryan robs the rest of America blind

Sen. McConnell implemented Senate “Rule 14” Wednesday to fast-track the GOP House health bill. This rule allows the Senate to skip the committee process (goodbye full senate committee debate) and instead “fast-tracks” the bill by moving it on the senate calendar so it can be brought to a vote.

Republicans need to pass a health care bill immediately. And they need to pass a bill that reconciles the needs of both the House and Senate, by September 30th in order to use reconciliation. Reconciliation is a 1974 act that expedites the senate’s consideration of bills that pertain to the budget. While Washington watches James Comey testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senate Republicans leaders and the health care working group will still be meeting for a working luncheon to continue negotiations.

The Senate’s job is harder because unlike the House, the Senate cannot vote on a bill until the Congressional Budget Office scores it. CBO needs to score the bill to see if it meets budgetary standards of reconciliation. The Senate health bill needs to save $2 billion, which the House bill successfully did. But the Senate bill is also bound by the Byrd Rule, which has its own host of additional surgical rules, like that the bill cannot change Social Security spending or dedicated revenue. The CBO will need time to score the bill, so fast-tracking this Senate health bill makes the most sense for Senate Republicans.

The Republican Party is malevolent and needs to die.

Another pleasant thought from Mr Chomsky

I don't get why you need to say the Russia investigation doesn't matter in order to emphasize how poisonous the Republican agenda is.

Both things are bad.

burns flips off press at the end! they hate the media

Meanwhile, of course

MSNBC reporting White House sources says Trump "may not have known" the US has troops based in Qatar.

lol

Of course he fucking didn't.

I'm very impressed with whichever WH staffer took the initiative to pulverize their boss's phone with a hammer over the past 24 hours. A radical measure, for sure, but one that seems to have finally worked.

starting to think being president might be a lot of work

so any big news from today? dumb guy is dumb? sources say they hope something is there? rinse, repeat

xxpost Or hid it at the bottom of a salad or whatever.

man imagine the damage that could be done if someone guessed potus twitter pw

I bet its "TRUMP" all caps

12345

what else can be apologized for in this way? "Trump may not have known blackmail was wrong"

everything

He's new at this. He'll get better at blackmail as he goes along.

nothing to see, Adam, stay focused on Arkansas in the eighties.

so any big news from today? dumb guy is dumb? sources say they hope something is there? rinse, repeat

nothing to see, Adam, keep your laser focus on Arkansas in the eighties.

it looks like Trump and his lawyers are going to go after Comey for sharing his notes. will be interesting to see how this plays out

nothing to see, Adam, keep your laser focus on Arkansas in the eighties.

yeah your right what is systemic oppression vs the vapid hilarity of a person tweeting a stupid thing

i have to say this felt like a fast three hours. i could have watched all day. felt much shorter than the movie Armageddon. and also the movie Pearl Harbor. and also the movie Titanic.

i was also afraid that he was going to actually read his intro notes and i was so relieved that he didn't.

Pfft.

Lots of crazy stuff in that statement. They also misspelled "President." pic.twitter.com/dH5aIJiHOd

As Ben Jacobs said in response, "The best people."

dont understand how making this a credibility war between a career law enforcement officer and the worlds most profligate liar is a good idea

how exactly do you defend this then

shame it wasn't 'presidetn' xxp

"not guilty by reason of insanity"

Another success!

Am told by source close to a GOP gov that the WH infrastructure meeting was thrown together, little info for govs on pt of meeting.

— Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) June 8, 2017

Trump likes to talk about infrastructure because he has a background in building casinos and golf courses and the subject lends itself to simple statements about his grand intentions, but he knows and cares nothing about how government infrastructure projects are planned, funded or contracted. Yet another place where his ignorance dovetails nicely with his base's ignorance.

he also put together a HUGE saudi arms deal that apparently doesn't exist. he's good at stuff like that.

it's the thought that counts.
