Time for another Trump open thread because holy crap. I assume you’re all up on the recent news but in case you missed the important developments with regard to the ice cream:
No, this is real. From Time magazine.
Discuss this, discuss anything. I’ve got lots of fun Trump stuff on my Twitters.
NO TROLLS NO TROLLS NO TROLLS.
For a non-Trump open thread, go here!
For an open thread for personal stuff, go here!
So legal types here. The Trump admin is basically admitting to obstruction of justice right?
Trump accused Comey of engaging in grandstanding.
Any chance we can have an open thread for personal stuff too? Every time I want to discuss a personal problem I’m having, a troll or three is afoot in the regular threads.
Comey didn’t just learn about his firing from TV, he learned about it while standing around with a bunch of his underlings. Awkward.
And the flip-flop is back flipped. Trump says he didn’t want the investigation shut down like his own Dep. Press Sec said today, if anything he wants it speed up he says.
It has been awhile since the last threads for personal and non-personal stuff. others might have stuff they want to talk about of a personal and non personal nature .
@JoeB
Well that seems rather counterproductive if that’s the case. If I didn’t know that everything out of his mouth was a lie, I’d be confused.
I can’t even read the other threads due to Petra shitting everywhere and spamming like the spammiest spammer who ever spammed. It’s exhausting to see that name over and over, and my time and attention are valuable and not to be wasted like that.
OT
Trump just has to one up everyone at everything, it seems. Even having one less scoop of ice cream is too much for his fragile ego.
And according to Spicer, he was NOT, I repeat, NOT “hiding” in the bushes. He was “hiding” AMONG the bushes.
I repeat! AMONG the bushes.
Spicer, sweetie, honey, babeh: that’s called ” hidin’ in da bushes”
Have I got the song for Mr. Spicer!

Off topic, I’m sorry! but um have you guys seen this video yet?
I’m sorry too if some of you guys don’t watch Philip but it’s the clip of this man that’s just.. wow. And his chest slapping reminded me of this.
Spicer might be on his last legs. Seeing more and more of Huckabee-Sanders, not that she’s any better at the job, just less hostile towards the press.
…Fucking.
[troubelle.exe has stopped working…]
@JoeB -agreed, I think Spicy is next.
I don’t know how he has done it this long. I don’t know how he lives with himself.
Huckabee-Sanders is a piece of work, too.
Love that Comey’s replacement directly contradicted the WH contention that the FBI rank and file had “lost confidence” in Comey. I think they’re more determined than ever to be independent of the administration now.
Comey should sue Trump . Maybe a court order preventing the firing until the case is resolved. Now that would be a hoot!
It’s definitely getting pretty wild. Hard to look away form this stuff to work on my thesis.
Thank you for reminding me about Spicer in the bushes. Just hilarious. I needed that.
Too bad we got rid of the Special Prosecutor statute. It would be swimming upstream to get it passed in this admin. And I would definitely appoint Comey as special prosecutor. He’s shown an ability to piss off both sides, and I like that in an independent prosecutor.
What basis do you have in mind for the suit? I was going to blow that off, but then remembered that FBI isn’t the same as cabinet. Anyone up on Agency law?
It’s too bad David didn’t put a no-trolls note on this thread. 😛
United States Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel replaced the United States Office of the Independent Counsel in 1999, but Congress can still appoint a special prosecuter.
PoM: no shit.
lol @PoM yeah I was like

I’ve banned Petra.
Also I’ll put up a no trolls note, and a couple of other open threads. Gimme a sec.
Just found this on Yahoo. A potential FBI replacement director was spotted at the White House the day before Comey got the axe:

More stuff to make everyone go “hmmmm….” over.
Haise, that seal definitely washed the distaste of that belligerant beach toad away, so thanks!
I agree that Spicy is most likely on his way out.
I don’t know why, but Huckabee-Sanders reminds me so much of Julia Sweeney.
(I like Sweeney ever so much better.)
My ice cream, mine mine mine,
Two scoops for me, it’s mighty fine!
Most delicious ice cream you will ever taste,
And that is why I will not waste
It on the likes of you,
So you get one scoop, I get two.
Because l’m the President, can you believe it?
I’ll brag about it on Twitter while I take a shit,
On your Constitution,
I don’t believe in pollution,
Or rational solutions
To Russian colusions.
So I get two scoops, and you get one,
Because clearly, I won,
I am bigly more important than all of you.
And now I’m through.

…What a fucking ass.
Huckabee Sanders as the surname of Trump’s press secretary is the most poetic naming in Murican politics since Jack and Jackie Kennedy. Looove it! (tell me someone else remembers Zak and Wheezie)
