... How the fuck did I miss this. Fuck.

It is not a place for discussion. It is not a place to air your grievances. It is for a dope-ass picture of President Donald Trump on a horse.


THE ORANGE MAN CLOUD DOES NOT NEED TO CONVERSE WITH US. THE ORANGE MAN CLOUD DOES NOT FEEL AS WE TINY HUMANS FEEL. IT HAS NO NEED FOR THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS OF LOVE. THE ORANGE MAN SIMPLY IS. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY TRUMP CLOUD. AAAAAAAAAAALL HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL.

AND NOW. SLAVES OF THE MIGHTY TRUMP CLOUD.

THE WEATHER.


They are amazing. They're an example of the way in which trump supporters parody themselves. I know calling someone stupid because of their politics seems harsh but no other word applies.

It must be great to work for Trump, knowing that if there's a whiff of trouble he'll throw you under the nearest available bus.

And again, we move the goal post...

I wonder who's doing more damage currently right now: Mueller? The Democrats? Trump's own legal team?

Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen got money from the Trump campaign to create a Twitter account called @WomenForCohen, for the purpose of praising his (Cohen) looks and character and promoting him as a sex symbol - in order to boost Trump’s candidacy.

Cohen confirms it and says it was at Trump's direction:

The Wall Street Journal reported that Cohen had paid the data firm Redfinch Solutions to manipulate two public opinion polls in favor of Trump before the 2016 presidential campaign.

“As for the @WSJ article on poll rigging,” Cohen said on Twitter on Thursday, “what I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it.”

Man, this is what happens when you throw your lawyer under the bus. Cohen tried to play it loyal, but my best guess isnthat Trump basically left him out to dry after he got caught.


Which is a really, really, ridiculously, stupidly bad idea to do with a guy who is essentially your paid fixer.


How any would rest comfortably working for Trump after seeing his treatment of some of his most sycophantic followers is beyond me. He will abandon you and leave you up shit creek the second things go south.


Demanding loyalty while offering none in return is just idiotic. Hell, the Mafia at least take care of its own.

Are we sure Rudy isn't a secret Deep Stater? I mean, Trump spent months swearing he knew absolutely nothing about Stormy Daniels or any payment to her and that was all on Cohen..and the first thing Giuliani did when he joined the team was go on TV and tell everyone that Trump ordered the payoff. And now after 2 years of the Administration swearing up and down that nowhere, nohow, notime, did any collusion of any kind take place...hheeeeerrrreeee's Rudy, telling us that there probably was collusion between the campaign and Russia, but it's fine because Trump wasn't personally involved...probably.

At this point I think Cohen is the one thats going to bring him down and Giuliani with his mouth.

If he somehow manages to win the 2020 elections, then frankly, I don't know who to fucking trust anymore, because that would just prove that one side is a fucking clownfest and the other the actual dictionary definition of gross incompetence.

If you mean Mueller? I think you will be disappointed. I get the feeling it won't lead to an impeachment. As to him resigning? Hmmm? Possible I guess? That question could be answered by "Will that hurt or improve the brand name"

Don't be so overly confident on him being ousted in 2020. Way too many simple minded voters who fall back on one issue.......

I have to agree that this won't lead to impeachment. However, I suspect he'll be heavily damaged from the other corrupt scandals that are arising (and his ineptness as well). It should be made clear that Trump was never that strong as a candidate; he just happened to have a weaker opponent by the name Hillary Clinton, who wrote him off and tried to bury her own problems. When 2020 comes, Trump's opponent will not under estimate him.

My dad is convinced that he won't run for re-election if Trump sees the race not in his favor. And why? Because Trump hates losing, why bruise your ego more?
