Yeah, that was the day, as far as I can tell.

I imagine Papadopolous told someone in contact with Trump at the time (Gates? Sessions?) after getting out of the FBI interview that they were grilling him about Russians and Trump was informed and later tried to leverage loyalty from Comey which failed.

Holy poo poo, the Comey firing fiasco really was the dumbest possible poo poo imaginable.

It's the same face a woman makes when she knows she's with the wrong man but knows she's too invested to just leave him. She knows she will never, ever, have a better job than this and it is terrible.

Hey, you know what works great? LISTING RANDOM NUMBERS OUT LOUD FOR FIVE MINUTES STRAIGHT. This is a joke meant to be read, not heard. And certainly not mumbled and stuttered with zero expression like you've got a time bomb wired to your ankle and really need to wrap this up...

This is my first time watching the press secretary live, and.. is she just entirely void of charisma or was I just spoiled by The West Wing?

The difference between SHuckS and Spicer is that Spicer, at the end of the day, wanted to be liked. SHuckS does not give a poo poo about the press and actively looks down on them.

Also, holy gently caress this analogy. It's like a live-reading of a FWD: FWD: FWD

Even if it wasn’t you know for a fact that trump will double or triple down and say/do something stupid.

My :10bux: is on sessions getting axed today

I just had a :tinfoil: moment that trump is purposely trying to get rid of as many senators as they don't like by putting them in cabinet positions and waiting for replacements to be chosen before giving them the axe. While... slightly possible I suppose since Bannon's mission statement has been to get rid of the establishment GOPers it got me wondering:

Does this actually work? When someone leaves a seat there's a special election to choose his replacement. I'm assuming when, say, Sessions leaves his secretary spot he can't get his seat back until potentially winning the next normal election...?

So it’s entirely within Trumps mindset to do just that

Seriously, my dream scenario is something like this at the next press event:

"Mr President, your former campaign manager and friend Paul has been accused of conspiracy. Are there plans to pardon him?"

:smugdon: "I mean I don't see why not. Paul's a good friend, great friend. Why shouldn't I pardon him? I'm pardoning him."
