I'm sure you're wrong. Soon it will be explained that it's meant to be spelt as such and it's intended to read like, there's no challenge to his greatness. We're just too dumb to see it

But emails.

John Oliver was back tonight and, at the end, announced he's gonna be running infomercial-style ads on cable news morning shows to educate Trump. He showed the first one, explaining what the nuclear triad is. Pretty funny.

Its much cheaper for the tax payer to have no private middle man.

That's because you're not counting it being -20F outside as a natural disaster. It should count.

Ladbrokes, an online betting site, gives about a 48% chance that Donald Trump will leave office by being impeached or resigning within the next four years.

That report does include extreme temperatures, and states they are the leading cause of death.

Banning refugees is fine, but if suddenly your green card holding spouse can't get in, then Trump is a problem. If you're a conservative teacher, Trump is great, but if he's going to put DeVos in charge of education, then he's a problem. Civil forfeiture is great, but if some Trumpkin has the misfortune of having his assets wrongly seized, his hate for Trump will be massive.

There are a lot of Trump supporters who will eventually be specifically ****ed by Trump's policies, but until they are personally ****ed, Trump is fine. ****ing over other people is fantastic.

i'm going to give republican leadership credit for understanding the gist of this, so i think they realize (especially with the recent angry town halls) that it's now or never for them to start ramming through all their grim legislation before trumpkins and non-voters begin to comprehend just how badly they're going to get ****ed.

I don't think they've learned a single ****in thing from the town halls. They're actively pretending that they're little more than out-of-state rabblerousers come to **** all over their glorious victory over evil liberalism.

The revelation that Flynn talked to the Russian ambassador about sanctions comes as a surprise to...anyone? I would be more surprised to find out that he really didn't talk about sanctions. The guy seems dangerously nutty, along with Miller and Bannon.

Entering the ornate room, Trump took a photo with the bride and her bridesmaids, who posed in red gowns next to the commander in chief, mimicking his signature thumbs-up.

Then he grabbed a microphone.

"I saw them out on the lawn today," Trump said of the bride and groom, who were standing nearby. "I said to the Prime Minister of Japan, I said, 'C'mon Shinzo, let's go over and say hello.' "

"They've been members of this club for a long time," Trump said of the newlyweds. "They've paid me a fortune."

I still think this is the correct line. 48% is ridiculous. He's not resigning. He's not getting impeached. Only way he doesn't serve four years is illness/death.

LOL if Trump really said "C'mon Shinzo" to the wedding reception. I believe he did it but it's just Trumpian to do that instead of showing respect to a head of state.

BTW- It's funny he kept referring him as Abe at first. I wonder who told him that wasn't his first name?

We're all going to die.

I'm not saying that lightly, i started smoking again because I honestly believe even if we make it out of the next 8 years, there's virtually no chance the planet makes it to when i'm 70
