President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I stayed away from sj.com to facilitate my giving up telling you, "Fuck off, dipshit."

 

You are an outstanding model of self control!

 

Sick burn, man!

 

The mind of an American liberal:

 

Sick burn!

(That's how this works, right?)

 

I have wondered about the first event that they will all be at. I wonder what trump thinks about it, deep down. Even he has to realize he would be the idiot in the room. He has to dread, even a little, having to face Obama. He also is known to duck out quickly after embarrassing moments. (after one of the debates, I forget which one and the Catholic charity even after the last debate).

 

That sort of reflection would require a self-awareness that I'm not sure Trump has.

I've wondered before what makes Trump happy - truly, deeply happy. We all can name things, big and small, that do that for us. My kid running to me while yelling "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" when I walk in the door after work, for example.

"The intelligence community was allegedly directed to provide cover for President Donald Trump’s baseless claim that Trump Tower was wiretapped by his predecessor, the New Yorker reported Tuesday.

An anonymous intelligence source told the magazine’s Ryan Lizza that “the White House said, ‘We are going to mobilize to find something to justify the President’s tweet that he was being surveilled.’”

Asking for an “all-points bulletin,” or a request to look through intelligence reports, White House officials said, “We need to find something that justifies the President’s crazy tweet about surveillance at Trump Tower,” according to Lizza’s source.

The alleged effort to justify the President’s outlandish wiretapping claim sparked a month-long goose chase that culminated with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) temporarily recusing himself from the panel’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election.

The White House did not respond to the New Yorker’s request for comment."
