The thought of a special prosecutor investigating Clinton, Mueller and Rosenstein while Mueller and Rosenstein are investigating Trump is pretty dark.

IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 18:02 (six years ago) link

that scenario is p fucked up and yet makes perfect sense, I can see Trump going for it.

but who appoints the special prosecutor in this hypothetical scenario, Sessions?

re: thread title... feels weirdly appropriate since Weinstein & avalanche of other predators being outed pushed Trump out of top of the news for the longest stretch of time since the election.

“Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” Nunberg said. “I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress.”

lmao Jared rules

I honestly can't imagine that Trump's approval ratings could go any lower. Yes, he's said and done one stupid thing after another for the past year (and then also for decades as a public figure), but I'm pretty sure that's over now, don't you?

xpost it only gets better with time! hahaha

it's really funny, though, to imagine the "cut cut cut" debate happening in the midst of the atmosphere described in the vanity fair piece

I would imagine mounting scandal + a failure to pass tax reform would probably shudder off most of the remaining non-Pepes

frogbs, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 18:30 (six years ago) link

Yeah, business as usual, but nonetheless it is pretty audacious for Trump's lawyers to reportedly argue in court re: the ongoing defamation lawsuit that him referring to his accusers as "liars" was just a political opinion.

just feeling a little silly at the moment but seriously, imagine the shot of a random white house aide's face after watching a tense discussion of regarding the mueller investigation gradually morph into an equally tense debate about why it should or should not be called the cut cut cut plan

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 18:32 (six years ago) link

Trump administration is death by a thousand cut cut cuts.

it's hard to say what his floor is at this point, there's been a slow but steady erosion in overall GOP support but that's gonna bottom out at some point and whether it's 25% or 30% who can say. We are definitely going to find out sad lol.

Would've been wiser to name it the Measure Twice, Cut Once Bill.

no it would have to be him fucking a kid, and not a 16-year-old. Shooting someone on 5th Ave. would make his numbers go up. also praising Allah, but I'm trying to be realistic here

if something like that came out they'd just say it's fake. the technology for that is getting there xp

just as the tension became nearly unbearable, trump suddenly stood and stared down at paul ryan in the chair across the desk. "cut cut cut cut cut cut plan. six cuts. double down." he was unraveling in front of our very eyes

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 18:50 (six years ago) link

Ryan will unveil the tax plan in a press conference where he keeps saying the word 'cut' over and over, occasionally looking off-stage to see Donald Trump nodding and mouthing 'again'.

I thought the thread title would be along the lines of "Presideent Trtump was rermarkably stgroing in hius joint press event with Sen McConnell"

Anti-worker Labor Department nominees?! But...but that doesn't make any sense! It's like putting someone who hates ice cream in charge of the Sweet Treats Department! Someone needs to have a talk with Mr. Trump about this.

We'll know Trump's in danger when Fox moves from "collusion isn't illegal" to "people who don't collude with foreign countries hate America"

What is collusion ultimately but cooperation and friendship? You aren't against America having friends, are you? Because that sounds like something an enemy of America would want.

the blatant lies from sarah sanders today* in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary remind me of the first few days of the administration when spicer was a entity and he was clearly lying about the stupid inauguration crowd estimate size. i remember following along and being kind of stunned that they would lie so plainly and blankly. heavy orwellian vibes. it's a shame everyone's computer monitors are pretty crisp these days, because this era of footage deserves the retrofuture dystopian CRT monitor look

*trump: "We need quick justice and we need strong justice — much quicker and much stronger than we have right now. Because what we have right now is a joke and it’s a laughingstock. And no wonder so much of this stuff takes place. And I think I can speak for plenty of other countries, too, that are in the same situation."

Acosta: he called the US Justice system a 'joke and a laughingstock' during his comments
Sanders: that's not what he said. he said that process, that process has people calling us a joke and calling us a laughingstock.

that's not what he said. i mean, one one level this is all so fucking stupid, but on another, that's not what he said and it's insulting to be lied to like that

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 21:27 (six years ago) link

spicer was a new entity

my typos are out of control today, sry
