The Trump Presidency Nein: Leistung, Korruption und Lugen

And to think-- in our naïve youth we thought "Wag the Dog" was fantasy/comedy...

 

They wouldn't know.

 

I am sure they are perfect, beautiful calls as well....

Or at least very stable... among the stablest ever in the history of American calls.

 

Friday night dump.....They must be freaking out at the WH. A lot of leaks today. The damm is breaking.
Not shocked by this below though.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump told Russians at infamous 2017 meeting that he wasn’t concerned about Moscow’s interference in U.S. election, by @shaneharris @jdawsey1 @nakashimae https://t.co/EF2l935r1g

This is just the tip of the iceberg in my eyes.

There is a treasure trove of buried stuff yet to come.

If insiders get the sense his impeachment is nailed on, the flood gates will open.

That man is both corrupt and senseless. A terrifying combination.

 

Pass the popcorns folks.....It is going to be fun. By the way, it seems that the memo of that convo with the Russians was put in the top secret computer as well. Hope this one, and others, will see the light of day soon.

 

Ned Price, a former NSC official, just confirmed on Maddow show that the NSC deputy counsel reports to the WH Counsel. The NSC counsel is the one who moved the transcript of the July 25 call to the top secret code word server. This shit will go down faster than we may think.

 

There is nothing enjoyable about watching our government unravel.

It has to be done, but to say it’s going to be “fun” is the epitome of partisan politics and part of the reason we are at this point.

 

Very true that is part of the reason we are at this point. I never thought about that. . Actually, that is exactly why we are at this point!
I am very sorry that I am truly enjoying a sociopathic conman going down with his lackeys and toadies with him. Apologies in order.
In the meantime, i will still order the popcorn.

 

Perhaps this would help.

NEW: The Army official who oversaw White House communications at Mar-a-Lago was convicted of lying to investigators in a child pornography case. His illegal activities made him a target for blackmail by foreign agents, experts say. https://t.co/ryM2ahtBZr w/ @martindvassolo

It’s only missing the Make America Great Again imprinted...

 

I didn’t say it wasn’t deserved.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the reporting about that meeting with Kisliak in the Oval Office in March, 2017 came from former White House aides, whether they were military or otherwise. When the White House seems more like a bakery churning out staff turnovers than a residence and working office of one of the most influential people in the world, it stands to reason that disgruntled ex-employees and honest people who care more about our national security and domestic tranquility will eventually come around to do the right thing.

As for the call with President Zelensky on July 25th, maybe Dan Coates or John Bolton provided information to the whistleblower. Both men were still employed by the Trump Administration, but would be leaving their posts within a matter of weeks. Both men were likely at the White House when the call between Washington and Kiev was put in. Just a guess on my part...I could be way off base.

 

Celebrating the continued stupidity of our government is something I just don’t understand.

Yes, I remember the stupidity of other partisan idiocy and didn’t celebrate that, either.

What I want is s functional government which we will never have if partisan bickering is celebrated.

 

BOTH SIDES DO IT!

Of course only one side does it so poorly.
The other side does "it" 10% as much (thanks @taosjohn ).

No, I do not enjoy the government unraveling. However, I can enjoy Trump getting his comeuppance.

Please describe a single time when Democrats have had the "idiocy" of the Trump administration.
Show your work.

There is no "partisan bickering."
One party's leader committed crimes.
That party is complicit and trying to explain it away in a most unconvincing manner (see Rep. Barr on NPR this morning).
The other party is investigating the serious crimes apparently committed.

Please describe the "bickering."

Now you want a "functional government"? Don't vote for f*cking Gary Johnson in Ohio in a tight contested election next time.
(admittedly, Trump amazingly won Ohio by a large enough margin that pissing away a vote on Johnson did have any effect. I guess that shows the stupidity of Ohio, then. Their governor is the last challenger to Trump and a "never Trumper" of the first order, but they still put party over country).

 

I’m doing nothing of the sort.

I am watching an elected president get impeached for actual crimes.

I am mourning all that got us to this point, not celebrating a win for any team.

 

Yeah they do; but it is about a 90/10 split at worst.
