Finding a way through 'the avalanche of crazy' or Trump thread 96.

[lionheart]

From back in Decemeber:

'This shouldn’t get lost in the avalanche of crazy. The wall we need is between DOJ and the White House. The foundation of our democracy- the rule of law- depends on it.' Sally Q. Yates.

Old thread:

Rep. Steny Hoyer
House Majority Leader

"I have served with 6 Presidents, I have been in many many many meetings like this. NEVER have I seen a President treat so disrespectfully a co-equal branch of the government of the United States. "

OMG Elijah Cummings has died!

Noooooo....

Veteran US Democrat Elijah Cummings dies at 68

So sad. He was a civil rights warrior. Gone too soon.

This article about his life...

I stand corrected. Despite everything, I couldn't believe he issued it...........

My podcast recommendation for today:

I know it's minor in the grand scheme of things but I just can't get over the way trump treated the parent's of Harry Dunn.
Arranging things so that the grieving parents would be ambushed by their son's killer, Trump is punishing them for daring to complain about the fact that the person who killed their son is evading justice

And apparently that Trump letter to Erdogan really is really real. I was holding out in hope of it being a hoax.

Erdogan says he binned it... Hardly surprising.

Turkish president Erdogan 'threw Trump's Syria letter in bin'

Oh yes, it was definitely real. The WH released it. I personally could write a better letter and I am not able to call on experts to explain in detail the situation.

He is a moron.

A 12-yr-old could write a better letter.

I genuinely believe he's in cognitive decline, otherwise I'd be boggling at how he lasted as long as he did in business even with the Cohen-types "fixing" things and the daddies (his own and the Russian-sugar-daddies ) constantly bailing him out after each bankruptcy.

Whoa.

Brett McGurk, former WH Envoy to Defeat ISIS, just announced on MSNBC that US forces destroyed their ammunition before leaving their posts in Syria after Trump ordered them to leave, something they do only in emergencies since they considered the order "incoherent."

What will Trump do upon hearing that Erdogan binned his letter??
His knuckle-dragger proto-hominid brain will receive that as a mighty insult, it will catch fire at the idea of someone throwing his his mighty royal signature (his very essence!) in the bin, I think he would consider all-out nuclear war to be the only fitting response 🤦‍♀️

Agree. Before he ran for the presidency, he could wing it in his business, trading on the Trump name, his children picking up the pieces, along with his Fixers like Cohen. He was most likely inept then but he could get away with it
.
Now not. All his flaws are exposed to the whole world. It's obvious he does not have a good command of the english language, he is useless at public speaking, he has the attention span of a gnat and is unable to absorb information.... add in his cognitive decline and his narcisstic tendencies, and it's horrific

Morning Joe.

New Randy🤣

Yes!

I didn't know that Joe and
Mika knew Cummings so well.

Oh Randy, you're my voice of humour sanity in this crazy TrumpWorld we're living in.

Hello, just posting to ask Roussette if she is my twin in a parallel universe (attention span of a gnat is not used that often, is it?)? I are mostly doing my ostrich impression as this sums up my feelings about the UK: www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2019/10/uk-set-give-best-deal-any-eu-member-state-has-ever-had and I can't even begin to cope with the Orange One's senile dementi and the inexcusable fact that this bastard and his family are still in power.

*senile dementia though he could best be described as a senile Dementor.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom

I sometimes use 'attention span of a goldfish' but ours had intelligence and I can't vouch for a gnat!

Viz.

What a shame about Elijah Cummings.
