It’s a National Non-Emergency: Trump thread 91

Here we are in February 2019 - Trump has declared a National Emergency to funnel the funds for his border wall, he’s just come off a ridiculous SOTU that contained more lies than not, and he’s just tweeted this:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago

“These guys, the investigators, ought to be in jail. What they have done, working with the Obama intelligence agencies, is simply unprecedented. This is one of the greatest political hoaxes ever perpetrated on the people of this Country, and Mueller is a coverup.” Rush Limbaugh

But here’s a reminder he’s not one of the sharpest tools in the box.

Interesting sidebar piece on Dan Coats.

Now, most of Bongino’s commenters agreed with him - the usual “Yep! Lib idiots need to go back to school - working against America” kind of thing. But there were a couple of pushbacks, because of course Rafael is correct and Bongino is a hack.

Oh my. This is an actual tweet from a “journalist.”

Yeah, for the FBI to raise the prospect of invoking the 25th amendment sounds scary, until you realize they don't have the power to do it. They would have to convince Pence and Cabinet to do it, at which point, surprise, it's a Constitutional process and not a coup!

I think Trump will be the most scared of Biden as a 2020 opponent. He'll go after him with both barrels if Biden announces he's running. (Yet another old white man though)

Biden gets closer to a White House bid but serious concerns remain
As he weighs a decision, Biden is carefully considering how a campaign, and the president's likely attacks, would impact his family.

I honestly don't think Biden will choose to run. He's given too much in service to this country already. He's buried too much grief to carry on giving that service. I think he figures he's almost 80 and just wants to live quietly in peace.

BUT, if he sees that none of the others have a real chance of winning and that he does, he'll run.

It's coming soon.
It's coming soon.
It's coming
Mueller's is coming soon.

Everyone seems to know the score,
They've seen it all before,
They just know,
They're so sure,
That Trump is going away,
Gonna blow it away,
But know he can't play,
'Cause I remember
before we had this shit,
Orange skin still gleaming,
Two years of hurt,
Never stopped me dreaming.
So many jokes, so many sneers,
But all those oh-so-nears,
Wear you down,
Through the years,
(...),
Orange skin still gleaming,
Two years of hurt,
Never stopped me dreaming.

It's coming
Mueller's report

(feel free to add to the (...) section and change shit to go with hurt. I have to leave now)
(anyway, you get the drift)

Judge is now questioning Stone about the Instagram post. Judge is interested in the notion that he's not responsible for what gets posted on his Instagram. Asks if he knows how to Google.

"How hard was it to come up with a photograph that doesn't have crosshairs in the corner?"

Stone claims he's having trouble putting food on the table and paying his rent.
