Remember when Van Jones gave trump a knob job after he delivered a prepared speech via teleprompter in a sorta-competent fashion in front of Congress? It's literally impossible to describe how low the bar has been set, but trump still manages to crawl under it every day

I remember the first GOP primary debate all the pundits said his outlandish claims & behavior were just him trying to rally the base and win the primary. Then there was the slowly dawning realization that he was actually reigning himself in during the primaries, and he was even worse than they thought.

And somehow he still won and is now the president. LOL.

The GOP trying to use him to pass all their retarded policies while slowly realizing that he's uncontrollable is one of the best things about this.

Trump is a real-life King Kong, possessing the same general build, mental capacities and subtlety of the original, and we're all just waiting to see what retarded giant sky scraper scandal he's going to go down on.

Ted Cruz, who flew to Mar-a-Lago on Saturday to negotiate changes on the health care bill. “Health care is a top priority of this administration,” said the spokeswoman, Lindsay Walters.

The Comey hearing. Watching the GOP was truly hilarious. Making Comey explain in depth how they came to the conclusion that Russian efforts were to help Trump and hurt Hillary (I mean, Trump won, so what's the point, right?)
"Nevermind the possibility of treason, what about the leakers who uncovered the possibility of treason?!" (this is literally Nixon's response to Deep Throat.)
Trump live-tweeting the hearing, and those very tweets being raised in the same hearing so Comey could publicly refute them.
GOP un-ironically accusing Comey of casting a black cloud over the Trump administration.
Trump live-tweeting a video of CNN about "increased leak activity" but the banner on the screen says, "FBI, DOJ, (etc.): NO EVIDENCE OF TRUMP'S CLAIMS - another flawless self-own...
...and all the other amazing Trump tweets today which I think have already been deleted...

And now you're telling me he has a rally planned for tonight?!

I can't believe he'd go through with that now. Would he?

President Donald Trump’s aides spent the weekend fretting over the health care law, huddling in a room at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for hours, wrangling with members of Congress on the phone, flying conservatives to the Florida retreat and making final deals with House leadership in hopes of getting the bill passed.

I'm on the fence as to whether I think Trump will reinvigorate younger voters or if it's so totally absurd that people are just going to give up on voting ever again. I almost think that we'd be better off if Trump's administration manages to actually push through some evil bill so that people take this admittedly bizarre situation seriously again.

I don't wanna give trump credit, or say that he's playing 4d checkers, but he has to make those kind of tweets.

Is the only way he has to retain some credit (with his supporters at least) when the truth finally comes out. I think is no coincidence that the "obama bugged trump tower" narrative came out after Sessions and Flynn got caught red handed talking with the russian ambassador.
By portraing himself as an outsider being hosed by the "deep state" or whatever, he can wave the whole thing as an operation against him, going back even before he was president.

I actually find it really amusing that Melania doesn't care to even be around him at all (can you blame her hell no must be tiring to have such a needy little bitch of a 70 year old for a husband). I'm not sure if she's even seen him since he was elected president, I never heard about him being in New York just DC and Florida.

She's probably just like thank gently caress this campaign and presidency was the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

I actually also think it's kind of awesome that she's not engaging with all the First Lady nonsense, unlike her husband she's smart enough to know her own limitations.

it's really hosed up and strange because I wouldn't rush to defend Obama if he'd done any of the poo poo that's Trump is pulling in the media.

Like if Obama had a really really lovely weekend during his 2nd month in office and tweeted "I think GWB and the Republicans are conspiring to make my life hard" I would consider that a major political gently caress up and expect him to both admit his mistake and try to fix it.

but somehow if people point out that Trump's behavior wouldn't be tolerated in almost any professional setting, life-long republicans take it as a personal threat. I mean I still root for the 49ers but I acknowledge that they're a broken team from the coaches to the owners.

Ivanka Trump, who moved to Washington, D.C., saying she would play no formal role in her father’s administration, is now officially setting up shop in the White House.

The powerful first daughter has secured her own office on the West Wing’s second floor — a space next to senior adviser Dina Powell, who was recently promoted to a position on the National Security Council. She is also in the process of obtaining a security clearance, and is set to receive government-issued communications devices this week.
