Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

For a while this farce has seemed gratuitous and unfunny, but Trump appointing Rosneft's lawyer to the head of the FBI crossed another line and is hilarious

BREKKE'S CRY
by Anne McCaffrey ©1977 and (in italics) Tania Opland ©2006

soprano: Don't leave me alone!
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of anguish heart-striking
soprano: Don't leave me alone!
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of soul killing fright

(soprano:)
Awakened in darkness (alto & baritone: terror! grief!)
Bursting with thoughts not our own (alto & baritone: terror! grief!)
Awakened in darkness (alto & baritone: terror! grief!)
(all:) Choking, burning, falling, dying...

E Pluribus Unum Bring It On

Also no media rollout or defense of the guy

what the fuck is even going on

it's taken like 150 minutes from the announcement until now for this guy to get dismantled, is that a new record

do we even know if the guy accepted the job or did Trump just tweet that shit assuming he'd would be honored to take the job?

I mean here's the thing the agents are barely going to pretend to work for an obvious dirtbag

And if he's got a torture background even less so

literally anything is possible, up to and including christopher wray being an entirely fictional creation

Is the info abt this law firm/comical conflicts of interest verified yet or is it just twitter spec

Is he part of the DARK UNIVERSE

we are all part of the dark universe now

there's a chris wray on twitter with the handle @marinegent1775 who has tweeted six times, mainly about women's volleyball, and has this image as his avatar:

can we pretend this is the new director of the federal bureau of investigation for a while?

100% that guy voted for trump

early and often, for sure

with his tits

Wonder what comey will wear for his big moment tomorrow. If it were me I'd try to look cool.

The moment calls for sunglasses and a cigarette.

are we sure timothy treadwell isn't alive and well and buff?

in a less bullshit world, clint watts would be interviewing for FBI director

Interesting-ish media news: US Weekly, which had run multiple "Melania is unhappy" stories, was sold to American Media (publishers of the National Enquirer). This is the new cover.

Lol

lol at ivanka's desperate defence of her personal brand

NPR had an interview with a 'former FBI agent and security consultant' re: wray that was totally fawning and pointless, so that was nice that they're doing good journalism

I don't know if anyone follows Dan rather's fb page but he has been going berserk with all this unprecedented crap going on - its like watching a dog who knows he's going to the park AND there's company coming over

Trump really gave himself participation trophies 3 yrs in a row at his own club. He doesn't acknowledge winners not named Trump in later yrs pic.twitter.com/fsqldIhqjk

I wonder what Ivanka thinks about her brother stealing from children with cancer. It must be hard to balance love and loyalty with principles in situations like that.

probably cheesed that she didn't get cut in on the action

unless you don't actually care and are equally vacuous and evil as the rest of your family xp

'super senior club' suggests that trump is competing against nonagenarians, which seems entirely in character

Has there been any concrete speculation about why trump is so keen to get Flynn off the hook? He seems to be showing an unusual amount of loyalty to an employee.

flynn knows how tight vlad and don are dollar/ruble-wise

And if he's got a torture background even less so

Tombot how would you characterize non-CIA IC attitudes towards the torture program

Coats is very tight lipped atm

xxxpost It's almost like the unusual amount of deference he shows to one particular world leader above all others. Isn't it ironic? Don'tcha think?

Trump is just the guy to figure this out

clearly the answer is 'bomb qatar'

I was reading a washington post article that was guessing that the only reason for usual care on Trump's part for another's well-being and protection (Flynn) must be cover up otherwise he'd let him hang

unusual

It begins: McConnell initiates the "Rule 14" process of putting the House-passed AHCA on the Senate calendar for fast-track consideration.

Meantime Coats and Rogers were, how you say, 'cagey' in testimony today. Best cogent guess I've seen:

Coats and Rogers see what happened to Comey. They won't tell the public whether Trump tried to use the IC to rein in the FBI's Russia probe.
