The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1705 - Politics and Economics

Agreed. There is a big difference between mentioning a bizarre moment versus a creepy one. Like, my wife later mentioned it was bizarre that I chose to propose at Chuck-E-Cheese, but she still said yes!

It doesn't look like her intention was to express how creepy the situation despite that fact that it creeped her out.

Zero percent chance he wrote that tweet.

No matter who's president, radiohead would still be confused about how humans work.

But pissing *on* the president could be her ticket to Trump's inner circle.

I think on some level she sensed that she could help her career with the two choices she made, and it just rubs me the wrong way. I understand it's not going to be the popular opinion on this matter, and maybe I'm wrong, but those are my feelings on it.

I'll not press it any further.

Ah the old "If she didn't like it why did she wear that." Argument

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. This morning, I heard one of the most ignorant comments a Trumpkin ever made to me.

"It's so obvious the President is clean. If the Deep State had any evidence of a crime, they would be looking to take him out in cuffs. Ha! Let them try."

I didn't bother to ask him what he meant by that, or if he's a 2nd Amendment guy. All I know is I'm happy he doesn't think I'm a reporter.

Trumpkins responded to her tweet with "Well she wore a red dress."

I wasn't sure how possible it was, but Trump is still escalating his behavior. Only now, he's juggling more topics as part of his confusion campaign. Maybe it's because we will eventually run out of resources to fight him after a while.

But, when you think about it, many situations are coming to a head. I mentioned the media issues earlier ITT. There's media, NK, pressure to admit or punish or combat Russian meddling, Syria, Obama.

****, meet fan. How long until at least one bubble bursts, 2 or 3 days?

I'm seeing these ads on CNN from "Committee To Defend The President" giving all Trump supporters a phone number to call to help defeat the media and Democrats. Not sure what's going on, but weeeeeird and spooky (and suspicious?).

Good for him, landing that new job. And great news for the country, of course, that he'll still be working in a government position.

Funny thing, but I'll tell you what. If Trump continues ramping up his lies to be bigger and bolder, Fox has to continue defending his conspiratorial views. Which means Mueller could pull them in too once they reach a certain point.

Or as Clayton Williams once said, "Just lay back and enjoy it."
