Mooch reminds me of the guy who makes a huge public marriage proposal to a girl on live TV at some public event and she says 'no' and walks runs away.

He's not only 'that guy', he's 'that guy' who dumped his old girlfriend (i.e. sold his business) for some trampy gold digger (Trump) who then says 'no'.

Oh yes, Across, what a good analogy on the marriage proposal. It's all bluster isn't it...

The Washington Post story about Trump drafting the statement for Don Junior. Shock

I need a lie down. And I'm just up. I can't take it all in.

BossyBitch · 01/08/2017 07:24

I'm giving up, just giving up! I'm just so, so tired!

So you go to sleep for a few hours, come back and learn he wrote Don Jr's statement?

I can't even!

This has reached the point where the (massive) enterrainment value is fast being eclipsed by the (even more massive) panic at the realisation that we might all be toast in less than 4 years. Shock

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 01/08/2017 07:35

It's pretty dizzying

BossyBitch I'm giving up, just giving up! I'm just so, so tired!

I kind of have. I look at DT's tweets, but I'm not really reading through these threads at the moment or reading anywhere else. It's tiring on the mind and I think a break will be good. Not giving up by any means, just giving myself some air!

Brutal essay from Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. "If this was our Faus­tian bargain, then it was not worth it."

It looks like Eric followed the scrip.

The Flake article started off so strongly then sort of petered out as a call to action.
To the unnerved outsider it would seem that this level of chaos and disfunction is unsustainable.

BossyBitch · 01/08/2017 08:32

Awww! Eric getting upset at the awful 'lack of morals in society'! That's appalling, poor diddums!

The Hannity clip is actually quite hilarious in a disturbing sort of way. It's basically the real life, on air version of two stereotypical sitcom nerds getting overly emotionally invested in some kind of fictional universe and commiserating over the treatment of a fictional good guy and his dear family.

Surreal!

Ups, sorry, that was Eric from June.
This is July Eric.

People love my dad. Really.

Morning Brew
I would just like to take a moment to mourn the weeks - if not months- of lost Colbert doing 'The Mooch'.
I feel cheated by Trump (the trampy gold-digger) and Kelly (his strict, controlling ex-forces Alpha-male Father). Sad

No more 'front-stabbing' for us Sad Sad

badbadhusky · 01/08/2017 09:23

The Mooch was a "gift" for satirists, but that was also a problem for a WH trying to maintain some semblance of credibility. I am sure SNL et al can still have some fun with him as a Tiny Tim-like character who has been shoved out of the big tent & is lurking on the periphery. Wink

MicrowaveSpy · 01/08/2017 09:24

But this did cheer me up. Watch to the end as the Trump speech disclaimer is too good to miss!

Microwave - I didn't recognise the celeb bride & groom in that clip where the host was talking about vows as a list of grievances. Any idea?
