Trump 2018: Resistance is Never Futile

To pick up on the Star Trek motif.

Gosh. He's spitting tacks. (Even if someone else wrote that.)

45 was simply 'preparing the way', Pain.

'Alex Jones defends Trump’s penis.'

ALEX JONES (HOST): Now the media went into conniption fits and the headlines from MSNBC are Trump’s sexual obsessions may destroy the earth. They’re the ones saying hey we got a bigger nuclear button than you, we got a bigger arsenal, more powerful, and it works. Nothing to do with the media trying to say the president has small genitals. And by the way he doesn’t even have small hands, and by the way that’s a cliche, and a wives' tale, and not even true as well. Medical doctors will tell you it’s the feet size. But the point is -- that it’s more comparable. And that’s not even an exact metric.

OMG, circular firing squad! This is magnificent!

Sadly for the masterminds, he’s been a shit vanguard and contaminated everyone around him. Pence, the administration, the GOP are all now probably implicated in some way. (Yes there’s the gerrymandering/suppression/hacking that will have to be conquered but notwithstanding that, the taint is far reaching)

Better than the circular wanking session they had at his cabinet meetings

They may end up working their way far down the ranks to find a substitute 45.

This is almost hypnotic

Breaking quote from Sean Spicer:

"Donald Trump didn't give a about being factual in [Spicer's infamous 'biggest crowd ever'] news conference."

It's fun to watch the kids fight.

Katy Tur on MSNBC just read it aloud. Not sure of the source

This Turkish money laundering conviction is tectonic. It directly involves the crooks who hired Giuliani, Flynn, and Mukasey - and leads right to Erdogan.

Erdogan - whose family and ministers were directly implicated in the crimes - tried to get @PreetBharara fired. His flacks paid Mike Flynn cash to distort US foreign policy in Turkey's favor.

Wow.

Just reading that article about Trump not wanting to be president, just wanting the opportunities that would come from running, it makes perfect sense and explains a lot! Well worth reading...

That fucker had better be bloody well doomed.

No-one messes with Sally.

There’s a good asha rangappa commentary on the fusiongps piece upthread somewhere that you might like lion

Wow, that statement against Bannon is amazing! I need to go and make some popcorn before Bannon and Breitbart start responding.

It's going to get goooooood! For once I'm happy to hear what the angry leprechaun has to say.

Thanks Pain--I knew someone had drawn attention to Beacon, I thought it was Seth Abramson (who has been very busy indeed over the last couple of days.)

Beeitbart comments all in support of trump and not bannon (although actually, that’s just what trump jr said and I’m not willing to verify by looking myself so no idea if that’s true but I have seen some screenshots of pissed off trump supporters). The drudge has called bannon schizophrenic so that’s nice.
