These leaks.

God, Trump is such an idiot. Who fuck the fires the FBI director you just tried muscle?

Everyone with half a brain knew the THO would leak like a modo after comet was fired.
There's a report that says Comey is the kind of guy who leaves "a protective paper trail" when he deems that he has a cause for concern. I wonder what else is there.
 
Someone needs to lift up his gut, find his thimble penis, and get his demon seed on their dress so we can finally impeach.
 
The past week has been an absolute disaster for the Trump administration. It feels like there's something more disturbing coming out every few hours... And Republicans raise slightly more 'concerns' each time.
 
He asked comey to let flynn go and then fired him when he wouldn't.

At this rate, Trump shouldn't be in the Oval Office anymore by the end of the summer.

This being Trump, he'll probably will.

Man, I expected disasterous legislation from a Trump presidency, but I never could've fathomed the sheer stupidity this guy shows day after day after day.
 
The thing that pisses me off the most about this is that if Obama did something even close to this shit the repubs would be lining up for a lynching but with Trump you hear nothing.
 
Yup. I think this is the straw. If investigators can prove this then that's clearly Trump trying to interfere with an investigation. Even the brainwashed would have to admit that his ass would need to be impeached.

You are optimistic. Isn't it in this thread somewhere about how Nixon still had decent Republican support while he was being impeached (as in the truth had come out and people were still defending him)?

I mean you still have people claiming both sides are the same even now... and those aren't even the people who are die hard trump followers/Republicans.

Literally the only time it hasn't been a disaster is that one time he read from a teleprompter and that only lasted about 12 hours before the next screwup.
 
Republicans lost their shit over Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch speaking prior to the conclusion of the investigation.

Two small differences:
-Bill Clinton isn't president
-Bill an Loretta had a long standing professional relationship
-The recommendation not to take action against Hillary was at the discretion of the FBI, not the justice dept.

In this instance, we have a President meeting with his investigator and insisting he drop the investigation. That's far worse.
 
How fucking stupid is Trump?

He didn't think a career prosecutor wouldn't prepare cover-his-ass memos in the event exactly this happened?

Fuck, I did that as a baby lawyer when I counseled clients on divorces!
 
Dear diary,

Trump asked me to "let Flynn go." I could not believe it. I told him no. I hope he doesn't fire me. *crosses fingers*

I'm trying to continue my 1 Trump BS a day series after the 100 day anniversary to make a 200th day edition, but I can't seem to keep up...

It's madenning, I can't even imagine for actual reporters.
 
At this point, I have no idea WHY McConnell and Ryan wouldn't want to round up the republicans to start looking at impeachment. I don't see how any of their agenda gets done with him in office.

This is the wake up call to all Americans that don't support the GOP platform.

The GOP cares about nothing but being in power to achieve their tax cuts.

nothing else matters to them. They will whine about anything and everything someone else does and will look the other way to every single indiscretion from their side.

They don't care about you. Or me. Or anyone. Unless you can get them a tax cut.
 
Republicans have two choices here. Impeach him or forget about passing any meaningful legislation anytime soon since everyone will be talking about every fuck up he makes and congress will be busy ducking tomatoes. The healthcare bill has completely fallen off the radar. I'm fine with it either way.
 
Jesus Fucking Christ. This is just madness. Berlusconi at least knew what the fuck he was doing in his corrupt, perverted little mind. This is Maduro level stupidity and fuckery.
 
I'm starting to hear the John Cena theme every time I see a new headline from the NYT and the WaPo.

Good lord.

It's almost as if firing the FBI Director was a really dumb thing to do when you're trying to stop leaks.
 
You guys can't be that shocked at that reporter bit if you paid attention to his campaign stuff. He constantly hinted at stuff like that. Not trying to say it's less terrifying, but it's not remotely something new or shocking. I'm not concerned about it though, at least not now. He'd have to lock up the whole fucking press outside a few far right ones, and tangle with the courts which he hasn't had good luck with at all. That ship has sailed, at least for now.

Great point.
All these distractions dont allow policy.

There's only so much staff power. Every statement you need to draft to respond to scandal takes time and effort.

Once the gop establishment turns on Trump he's done

I think they are partly afraid of the base and what happens when they push so hard against their own man.
 
holy shit

you seriously can't make this shit up

I keep saying he can't top what he did the day before

and he does it every.single.fucking.time

Truth. I'm going to bed in a minute, it's nearing 11pm and I'm tired.

I shit you not I'm willing to put money on by the time I wake up in eight hours there will be another Trump thread about something equally car-crashtastic
 
/r/the_donald is particularly obessed with something completely fabricated right now. Funny how this doesn't track.

I wonder what the Fox headlines will be in prime time.
