FMOTUS: F***ing Moron of the United States (Trump) thread continued

As aptly dubbed by his own Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

And as I love giving you images to haunt your dreams, here’s another one, blasphemously titled ‘Our Lord and Saviour’.

He'd get good poll ratings just for doing nothing.

Don't think they're getting anywhere with Sessions.

Manu Raju @mkraju

Asked by Feinstein if Trump said firing Comey would "lift the cloud" over him, Sessions says those conversations are "confidential"

Feinstein: Did Trump urge you to drop investigation of Arpaio?
Sessions: "I cannot comment on the private conversations" w Trump

Hatch using this opportunity to decry "60 Minutes"/WaPo "hit piece" on DEA/drug legislation

Leahy says Sessions gave "false testimony" when he testified he had no Russian contacts. Sessions: "I believe my answer was correct."

"I don't think there was any discussion about the details of the campaign," Sessions says of Kislyak; "I don't believe" talked Magnitsky Act

Sessions pauses, hesitates then says he has NOT been interviewed by Mueller

Matthew Miller‏ @matthewamiller

Based on what Sessions answered and what he dodged, sounds like he hasn’t yet been interviewed by Mueller, but Mueller has asked.

BREAKING: Sessions admits under oath he discussed Trump's Russia policy in a long-undisclosed—lied about—September '16 meeting with Kislyak.
2/ That Sessions discussed Russia policy with Kislyak is something I wrote about here three months ago, but it was never picked up by media.
3/ I was contacted by Congressional staffers back then. I explained how Sessions' last testimony inadvertently revealed these discussions.
4/ Now Leahy's questions have made clear the fact Sessions was essentially negotiating sanctions policy with Russia during the campaign.
5/ Given that Trump was legally on notice Russia was committing crimes as of 8/17/16 his NatSec chief COULD NOT LEGALLY negotiate sanctions.
6/ 3 weeks after Trump knew Russia was committing crimes, he had his NatSec chief negotiate sanctions relief with Russia. That IS collusion.
7/ Proof of collusion is right in front of us now. Sessions agreed to meet with Kislyak AT THE RNC—it was a POLITICAL meeting Trump knew of.
8/ A presidential campaign CANNOT LEGALLY learn a foreign power is committing crimes against the U.S. and then offer them aid and comfort.
9/ We know from reports Trump's plan was to unilaterally drop sanctions his first month in office. So Sessions would have told Kislyak this?
10/ Sessions says he talked Trump's Russia policy with Kislyak in mid-2016. That policy was to drop sanctions. In context, that's collusion.
PS/ At this point, EVERY question the Democrats ask Sessions today should be about his September 2016 meeting with Kislyak—and its context.
PS2/ Any conversations Sessions had with CANDIDATE TRUMP about his then-upcoming Kislyak meeting couldn't be covered by executive privilege.
PS3/ So the Democrats could RIGHT NOW find out what conversations Sessions had with Trump about his campaign-period Russia meetings. So ask!

He wants the adulation as well, Lweji. He’s not getting that.

Aw shucks, he just wants people to love him (I'm sure I read somewhere that his own mum wasn't overly fond of him).

I thought it was his Dad's lack of love that he was trying to fill!

If the vicar who conducted my gran's funeral but never actually met her could speak in a manner that convinced people that he did, surely tRump can ring the family of a fallen soldier, having first got a few facts together about the family? It seems that he wasn't even clear on the poor man's name!

The vicar that did my grandmas funeral kept getting her name wrong. Maybe he was the rev trump?

Just been watching live. Sessions is practised at non-answers, isn't he?

When caught in a direct untruth, viz "I did not have any contact with the Russians", he apparently only said that because he was caught on the hop, tired after a long session, was referring to something else, and when all else fails, "Give me a break".

OK, looking at the Washington Post's reporting, Sessions said "Give me a break" when asking for more time to burble - having spent his time not answering the question and trying to turn things back on the questioner (Franken).

Sessions won't say to Blumenthal if he's been asked by Mueller to meet with him. Says he will give an answer by the end of the day

This is not Melania. To think they would go this far & try & make us think its her on TV is mind blowing. Makes me wonder what else is a lie

Just find this guy on twitter.

Gobsmacked. Some stand in Melania stood next to Trump and it is SO obvious.

Different nose
Hair very different
Mouth different

In fact it's nothing like Melania AT ALL

Why would he need a stunt Melania anyway? Ivanka does a lot of the first wifey events anyway.

Of course it’s her.

Nobody else would do the job I suspect.

The fact that Trump has lied to and deceived us enough to even make this a plausible thought is quite honestly terrifying.

I’ve never seen a Treasury Secretary say anything like this. A CNN Money piece.

Mnuchin - adopt tax plan or markets will dive

🙄 More sabre rattling.

Why am I not surprised that Trump is accusing Rep. Frederica Winston and Sgt. La David Johnson's mother of lying about what he said to widowed Myeshia Johnson?

'That woman' he doesn't even know the names of the soldier or his wife. He just doesn't give a shit and every call will be recorded. Funny he hasn't released the tape.

He is an absolute shower of shit. I've run out whatever the opposite of superlatives is to describe Trumpanzee.

Nah, that just about covers it. But left to his own devices no one will be voting come the next election.

He is a despicable little gnome and I was much heartened when Kamala Harris tried to cut through his crap last time round.

Actually he's a despicable large gnome. I think he's tall.

Also sounds just like Trump.
