The Fake News gets crazier and more dishonest every single day. Amazing to watch as certain people covering me, and the tremendous success of this administration, have truly gone MAD! Their Fake reporting creates anger and disunity. Take two weeks off and come back rested. Chill!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2019
Maybe spend a few days alone in the White House?
“The president said this weekend that it’s the most insulting thing that he’s ever been asked,” Conway said. “Which is saying a great deal, given everything that’s been said and done about him.”The firing of James Comey prompted the FBI investigation, an investigation that had to be approved by Rod Rosenstein, as Sessions had recused himself from all such investigations. So this argument doesn't even make sense.
“The other thing is, I have a slightly different view on it,” she continued. “It sort of confirms what the president has said all along about some of the rogue actors at the very tippy-top of the FBI who are no longer there because they were fired and worse.”
The Man Himself:
“I never worked for Russia!” Trump angrily insisted, according to Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason.
Also not a denial. This isn't a question of employment history in a job interview.
I'm beginning to think they know that the Mueller Report will be even worse than this, I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump side didn't leak it in order to try to blunt what they're expecting will be in it. If they're not even denying the Times story I think it's because they figure there are bigger things they'll need to deny coming down the road.
ReplyDeleteI think Lindsey Graham's disgusting behavior is motivated by the same thing. He makes me think that South Carolina should never have been accepted back as more than a territory after the Civil War. It seems to, century by century, on a per capita basis the source of some of them worst our system produces.
Graham was McCain's lapdog; it's clearly the only role he knows how to play. Now that McCain is gone, he's adopted Trump as Big Dog, and he's busy playing small dog to him. A Looney Tunes cartoon, with a huge "boxer" dog and a tiny, sycophantic dog constantly bouncing around him, comes to mind. It's really rather frightening how much public life exposes individual nature.
ReplyDeleteGraham used to parrot some of McCain's not terrible ideas about governance; now he parrots the worst of Trump (there is no 'best of'). It's appalling, when it isn't downright pitiful.
