With New Hampshire being close, it wouldn't surprise me if a long time ago Donnie thought "there were probably thousands of illegal votes in New Hampshire so actually I probably won" and then his addled brain, playing telephone with itself, eventually translated that as "I won New Hampshire."

Don't you remember the whole, 'They bused thousands of people in from Massachusetts to vote."

I have been talking about it for a two year period, and the reason I say they are going to pay for the wall is because Mexico has made a fortune out of the stupidity of U.S. trade representatives. They are beating us at trade and they are beating us at the border, and they are killing us with drugs.

It's funny to have the leader of the richest country on earth saying this to a third world nation.

Lol if I had been president of Mexico I'd have trolled the gently caress out of his statements there. gently caress him.

Sure they do, personal spite. Never underestimate the power of personal spite. I know a guy that called the IRS on a large amount of unreported income in a joint account held by he and his wife just to gently caress over his wife (and himself) before he filed for divorce.

I don't know, the quickest way to get Trump to turn on someone is make him look bad. This leak is going to be placed at Kelly's feet, no doubt about it. I'll go out on a limb and say that most of the leaks haven't been Obama holdovers, but various factions inside the White House that are jockeying for position. That's why the whole 'prosecute the leakers' thing is hilarious. If they ever do get around to a competent investigation, they're going to find out that it's nearly all Trump appointees and hires doing the leaking.

Reality has taken a real swerve for the improbable in the last six months.

Do you have a productive method for accurately predicting what is likely to happen each week? Because I really miss being confident that I knew what each day would be like.

Can the President refuse to be examined by government doctors? His own personal physician (who looks shady af) verified his health, but once Trump is President can he not get checked out by real doctors? Or is that too Woodrow Wilson to be legal?
