Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

Trump doesn’t plan to try to block Comey testimony next week by citing executive privilege, officials tell @nytmike https://t.co/jf2Bfycazr

— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) June 3, 2017

but do we get to see james baker go to jail?

no, nor anyone else

Eh idk seems likely some lower level people are gonna go to jail. Flynn for instance.

Trump will pardon him

what to Rice and Baker have to do with this?

rice and baker work for exxon. and both pushed for tillerson as sec. of state. and baker also works for rosneft and gazprom.

baker stands to gain a lot of $$$ when/if sanctions are lifted. from both sides.

and trump would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that pesky state department. basically the first order of business when trump entered the white house was to assure billions for exxonmobil.

I did NOT know about their employer. Isn't Baker 654 years old?

Meanwhile: sweet!

cool how the nyt refers to "political violence on the left and right" like how smashing a bank window is totally equivalent to throat slitting

go to a counter fascist demo sometime and see a. whose side the cops are invariably on and b. who strikes first 99% of the time

russia helps trump via hacking and trump lifts the sanctions on russia and exxon gets its oil and russia becomes strong like bear again plus the US rips itself apart internally, torpedoes its international rep, and weakens 'western' NATO alliance under the leadership of the dunning-kruger effect (and why you don't slash taxes on the rich) personified. win-win!

I've noticed a few times Spicer getting asked about some stupid shit Trump decided and his go to has been like "we only made this announcement yesterday, we're looking forward to working with both parties to ... " blah blah. Which, probably accurately, implies that whether it is the ACA or Paris or anything, these fuckers never give a moment's thought to the day after. "We only just outlawed water yesterday, let's give the process time to work."

why should they? they, or most of them, inherited a shitload of advantage and money. consequences are for peasants

Well, if they did due diligence and made decisions for reasons rather than just dickhole behavior ...

Spicer is still putting up wi8th this stupidity after being shown the lack of loyalty over the Papal visit. Is he going to remain a perennial lapdog?
Would think most people being openly used would be saying enough is enough a long time since

Trump makes it up to Spicy later in the evening if u know what i'm sayin

Spicer is like this guy in Veep:

I mean, of course, but still, it's hard not to wonder what these charges are even based on. We live in a society of laws.

the naivete, it's almost painful to watch

that al jazeera article is sickening

fucking terrifying, and no liberals with any influence would dare stand up for them even symbolically

oh yeah, always good to remember who the real enemy is
also, the aclu isn't real

Wait does that mean the Wealth Redistribution fairy isn't either? :(

Even if you can't feel it, it's always trickling down on you.

next thread title

Another smash success!

hey buddy elections are won by those margins

I kinda love this guy. I want to sell him bad stock certificates.

Guy with “Infowars dot com— CNN is ISIS!” sign asked why the Paris deal was bad:

did they pave over Lafayette Park?

also, the aclu isn't real

Hey if the ACLU is helping them out, more power to 'em, but I've not seen evidence of that?

You're not wrong, it looks like local defense attorneys are/were covering the 214.

I'd bet national liberal organizations will get involved if any of the trials actually lead to long sentences. The fact that the dragnet was supposedly in response to black bloc dipshits who threw rocks at cops is problematic

The earlier story on this in Esquire 2 months ago has more details: http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a54391/how-the-government-is-turning-protesters-into-felons/

(The park is not paved; those people are on the closed-to-traffic section of Pennsylvania Ave.)

michael tracey's twitter feed right now is pretty fun

I Miss Hillary Twitter's response is somehow even better tho

This is vital accompaniment to his twitter feed: https://www.twitter.com/tommyxtopher/status/871145071709757441/video/1

Never heard of him before, but I can definitely believe that's the best possible use of his twitter feed.

^^^ i think this is a slippery slope towards sharing Borowitz articles so no thanks

Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

Can someone please use a knife and a truck or whatever you've got on that cunt.

A week after a man shot 8 people dead including a deputy sheriff in Mississippi. Killer captured alive.

I actually can't believe he fucking said that

Yeah, implication of stupid Trump post is "thank goodness they didn't have guns." So ... Trump otm?

He's so stupid I wouldn't be shocked if he announced Jared will be investigating knives and trucks to make the world safer.

we need truck control

including mandatory registration of all trucks

Everyone should be legally forced - I said it, forced! - to be licensed before they can drive a truck.

He also did this:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/04/donald-trump-lashes-sadiq-khan-london-terror-attacks/

Which has nothing to do with his concern for the victims of the London attack and Londoners in general and everything to do with the fact that Sadiq Khan once called him ignorant. And he's a Muslim. A Muslim who slighted him.

And because he wants people to feel afraid.

instead of wondering why terrorism hasn't ended yet on his watch like he promised

No, I think it's because a brown skinned man said a bad thing about him.

Yeah, but Trump is basically the one political figure in the world who can be outright ignored at this point. It's clear he's never going to offer anything productive, so fuck him and anything he says.
