The thread where we meet to discuss the unfolding Trump administration catastrophe, but end up discussing adoptions from Russia

If we can get our hands free to type from the constant facepalming, we should be able to post on this topic.

It's a nice gesture. But that's all it is

But one that needs to be done. Otherwise, it would be asked of them when they ever asked for impeachment and would be considered complicit.

[PerkingFaintly]

Are whole sentences now too dangerous even for Kellyanne Conway?

[BiglyBadgers]

Think of it as a sort of starter impeachment. Sometimes you have to practice these things a few times before you get the real deal in the bag.

I start with this one, and if he's still tweeting, I end with this one.

[OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

Hugh Jasole! I'm looking for a Hugh Jasole. Does anybody know where I can find a Hugh Jasole?

The answer on the left got me thinking about the letter on the right

[lionheart]

I didn't notice that name.

[OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

Because politicians who have no experience of holding office is working out so well

[cozietoesie]

That's a joke, right?

[cozietoesie]

Right?

[Lweji]

At least a senate seat is one among many.

Anyone else spot the grocer's apostrophe in Bush's postscript? /pedant

[OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

He joins potential contenders The Rock and mark zuckerberg, although I think both are aiming higher than just a senate seat.

[Lweji]

Surely they can't be worse than many GOP representatives.
Have you heard them speak?

[Gumpendorf]

The new cover of Time. I bet his Dad is so proud

[cozietoesie]

As Mr Colbert said.

'Truly his father's son.'

[OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

A Trump makes it to a genuine cover of Time magazine! Daddy Trump must be pissed I've also started internally narrating events as if the Trumps are Peppa pig's family, which has made it more tolerable

[OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

Haha x-post gum!

Mike Pence's spks refuses to answer whether Pence had meetings with anyone from Russia.

Three times he was asked.
Three times he refused.

Why should Daddy be annoyed, Pain? That's a real cover that he can have framed and hung at one of his clubs.

[OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon]

Precisely, it's real!

Not even another Trump is allowed to trump Trump.

I can't remember who it was, but someone was disgusted at trump's interference with Charlie gards case. I hadn't realised this, but what horrendous exploitation of a heartbreaking situation:

The Secret Barrister @BarristerSecret
I try to avoid labelling disagreeable politicians as "evil". But there's no other word for this from the despicable, lying, foul @mike_pence

This exposes the agenda of the US right-wing interest in Charlie Gard's case: a conspiracy to falsely portray it as a consequence of the NHS.
To clarify for anyone who doesn't understand this very simple point: this case has NOTHING to do with money. It is a child welfare issue.
There is only one political movement seeking to promote individual enrichment at the expense of children dying, and it's VP'd by Mike Pence.

Disgusting man. As is anyone who voted for him and Trump and has now flown to England to protest outside our courts. Hypocrites all of you.

Was Donald Trump Jr.’s Russian Connect in U.S. Illegally?

Prosecutors gave Natalia Veselnitskaya permission to come to NYC, but it expired months before she went to Trump Tower. The State Department won’t say if she got a visa, either.
