The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 330 - Politics and Economics

I never even put two and two together that he is probably tweeting after ****ty golf shots while his caddy is trying to figure out how to kick/move his ball for him.

Graham wants to subpoena McCabe and Rosenstein:

Quote:

Well we're going to find out what happened here and the only way I know to find out is to call the people in under oath and find out, through questioning, who's telling the truth because the underlying accusation is beyond stunning.

Somebody should ask him if this also applies to the President.

Apparently Trump really was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Japan's PM.

After Trump asked Japan's PM to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.

From that article:

Quote:

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize last autumn after receiving a request from the U.S. government to do so, the Asahi newspaper reported on Sunday.

The report follows Trump’s claim on Friday that Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for opening talks and easing tensions with North Korea.

I can't believe I'm actually seriously asking this, but is it possible that Trump mixed up the leaders of Japan and South Korea?

Of course it's possible, but I think Trump has a ****ty relationship with Moon Jae-in and Abe has been trying his best with Trump from day one and was the first world leader to meet with him.

It's like getting your buddy to nominate you for homecoming king, then spending the entire homecoming week telling everyone at school how people want you to be homecoming king. But they'll never make you homecoming king, nope, mostly because fake news.

Abe has been trying to suck Trump's cock as much as possible from day 1 of his presidency so it's no surprise that Trump (or someone in the white house) told him to jump and the Japanese government's insta-reply was "how high?"

I tend to substitute "obfuscates" for "transcends" as it conveys a more accurate picture. "Transcends" sounds too noble and righteous for the situation at hand.

A reporter's thoughts being newsworthy is an interesting development.
