Wow...

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/trump-threatened-to-shut-down-filming-of-sharknado-3-because-he-didnt-get-cast-as-the-president-report/

In retrospect, maybe it would have been better for the country if Trump candidacy would have been associated with something like Sharknado 3.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

So Trump had a transcript of a past call with Mexican President Pena Nieto released to the public in which the Mexican president refused to pay for any border wall that Trump is going to try and put up. (As he should) Trump then went on to tell him that he can't make those claims because:

"You cannot say that to the press," Trump said on the phone call. "The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that. You cannot say that to the press because I cannot negotiate under those circumstances."

No shit Trump he's telling you there are no negotiations because he doesn't want to pay for your stupid dick wall. You can't run a country like a fucking business. A lot of countries don't want to negotiate because you want something.

Because he didn't want to be embarrassed when Congress overrode the veto.

Keep in mind that it was just a few Freedom Caucus types in the House, and Paul and Sanders in the Senate, who voted against it.


Of course, if he wasn't talking out of his ass, he would have had the last laugh if the Supreme Court were to strike it down. He clearly doesn't know how to play the long game.

Don't quote me on this but it is possible that this investigation is not just a witch hunt even though Trump said so...

Wanna know something about the West Virgina governor?  He was a Republican up to 2015 when he switched sides to run as a Dem in 2016.

Ironbite-FUN!

Yep. Hooray for political opportunism!

EDIT: Also, if you criticise Gov. Justice for this but were A-OK with Sen. Specter's party switch, you're a partisan hack hypocrite. (And vice versa.)

Well, it looks like Putin's mouthpiece is putting in overtime this week. Maybe the extra pay will allow him to get an extra large diet-Cola at the embassy.

Astounding to see 'liberals' place their hopes in Bush appointee Mueller (who tried to frame me in 2011).

Between Trump's directness & leaks the Trump admin is the most transparent in living memory--despite its policies. Good or bad?
68% Good
32% Bad

What?? How is Trump targeting Journalists (which he's now doing with Sessions threatening to prosecute journalists over leaks) Obama's fault?  Is this a "thanks Obama" joke that's gone over my head or something?

No, it is "just ignore these terrible things Trump might do and blame Obama because he persecuted journalists in the pass. Therefore, give Trump a free pass and blame the black man."

Oh hey New York Times just published a piece about Pence getting cozy with major Republican donors.  Donors who don't exactly like Trump.  Of course Pence's camp has denied it in the tones of "Oh MY GOD HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET SO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH!?" and the Orange Piss Pot is probably gonna be looking at Pence sideways.

Blaming Obama for his policy on whistleblowers, based on the picture.

Trump does not deserve a free pass for any of his horrible policies.

Neither does Obama.

Nor Bush Jr.

Nor Clinton.

Nor Bush Sr.

Nor Reagan...
