Oh no you don't. Search my account (and this very thread IIRC) before stealing my coins.

Trump statement on DJT via Huckabee child:

http://www.mediaite.com/online/presi...-transparency/

Quote:

"My son is a high quality person and I applaud his transparency."

Donald Trump talks about his kids like people write product reviews for Amazon third party sellers after having to process a return. "Despite the fact the 4 pack of Bounty Paper Towels were soaked in what appeared to be cat piss upon delivery, BestDealzPaperTowelz is a high quality person and I applaud his transparency and he offered me a full refund."

So when the news reports on it, it is "fake news." But when his son has his hand forced and reveals the emails, it is "transparency?"

Also awesome is, the NYT didn't actually release any emails yet, right? Because if they published 3 parts of alibi-changing bombshells and then bluffed Fredo into posting the emails...****ing BOSS!

See above where a Republican Congressman praised Trump for his transparency and very quickly revealing the emails. After literally years of denial, aggressively calling everyone a liar, firing the FBI chief because he was too much of a busy body on Russia, these guys are going to take a victory lap for their transparency.

The Trump family dinner is going to be a tad tense tonight.

"So, Junior, how was your day? You know, other than you implicating everyone and their mother from your stupid decision to release your stupid emails on Twitter."

I think you have it wrong.

It's Dave Chappelle, Brad, and Traci Lords.

The best part was when he cited "unprecedented obstructionism" as a reason lol

It's like the Senate Majority Leader understands neither the Senate nor "majority"

To be fair, if you have contact with many different people everyday you wont remember many of them, especially when you are as self obsessed as Trump.

Huckabee Sanders can't seem to find her "fake news" and "the real story is" lines. Sticking to referring to outside counsel.

Hilarious that these guys were so scared to legitimize the "fake" NY Times that they may have set their entire house on fire and won't be able to put it out. Love the transparency!

Relevant again. The traffic on the server ramped up 10 days after this Trump Jr meeting.

As far as Trump goes, none of this matters unless and until Paul Ryan and the rest of the stooges are ready to abandon ship, right? And THAT'S not going to happen unless and until their gerrymandered/boosted-by-voter-suppression constituencies demand it, right?
