The Trump Presidency: Part 18

Sometimes I Steve while enjoying my morning covfefe.

That's be best, for sure!

That Tweet seems to have been taken down. Maybe to add a comma?

Don't know, but I'm reminded of the famous saying that ends...

..."For want of a comma, the kingdom was lost."

Trump is now dismissing the reports of people cutting through the wall, saying "you can cut through any wall" and "it’s very easily fixed".

The conclusion of those two premises is clear: don't build a wall. Do something else that is very easy.

That's why we built it that way. I'm picturing Pee Wee Herman, "I meant to do that."

Sounds more like a fence than a wall. I guess Mexico couldn't afford the wall?

Mark Levin, a great lawyer and scholar, said last night on his @marklevinshow, that all you have to do is read the transcript of the call, you do not need Never Trumpers or other witnesses to say what it means or says. It is plainly and very well stated for all to see. Witch Hunt

What I said on the phone call with the Ukrainian President is “perfectly” stated. There is no reason to call witnesses to analyze my words and meaning. This is just another Democrat Hoax that I have had to live with from the day I got elected (and before!). Disgraceful!

The Whistleblower gave false information & dealt with corrupt politician Schiff. He must be brought forward to testify. Written answers not acceptable! Where is the 2nd Whistleblower? He disappeared after I released the transcript. Does he even exist? Where is the informant? Con!

“There is no Whistleblower. There is someone with an agenda against Donald Trump. What he was blowing the whistle on didn’t happen. We have the transcript of the call. This is all a farce and no Republican should forget that.”

I didn’t do what I admitted doing!

My son, @DonaldJTrumpJr s coming out with a new book, “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us” – available tomorrow, November 5th! A great new book that I highly recommend for ALL to read. Go order it today!

Mexico is not selling Sawzalls to their best people.

“But you can cut through any wall,” he added.

I thought walls were very effective?

So, have we just given up on Trump using his office to promote commercial properties, then?

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Exactly. The implication is that the current impeachment process is based on nothing but hate for Trump. That this is patently false doesn't matter a bit if one's reality is shaped by Trump tweets and Fox News.

Not just implicitly. Dennis Prager, for one, was on Bill Maher’s show Friday, 11/1, explicitly saying precisely that.

Yep, bar successfully lowered.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Then it's not impenetrable- simple as that. It's not even "very powerful" if all it takes to get through it is a saw. (I suspect the only real power the wall has is symbolic- Trump's base sees a problem, and he's there to provide an "impenetrable wall" that stands for a solution, which, even if it doesn't work, is enough for them)

Uh huh. Maybe we should replace "closing the barn door after the horse has got out" with "easily fixing the wall after the illegals have gotten through." What's the point (or sense) in a solution that needs constant fixing because it's constantly being broken by the problem it's supposed to solve?

Next step? Well...they shoot horses, don't they?

Hey, if we can pretend to send men to the moon, we can pretend that a multi-billion-dollar boondoggle is impenetrable.

President Trump: “He must be brought forward to testify. Written answers not acceptable!”

Is there any matter or action for which the president will not assert that when he does it it is perfectly correct and when anyone else does the same thing, it is unforgivably wrong?

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Trump doesn't think written answers are acceptable?

So why didn't he give Mueller a proper interview?

I wonder who wrote it?

My guess is Ed Reardon

I have to say this for Don Jr.: I'm sure he's written more of that book himself than Eric would have.

Oh, the perks of a tri-partite name.

For me, the President Trump’s greatest PeeWee-Herman plagiarization is “I know you are but what am I?”

False stories are being reported that a few Republican Senators are saying that President Trump may have done a quid pro quo, but it doesn’t matter, there is nothing wrong with that, it is not an impeachable event. Perhaps so, but read the transcript, there is no quid pro quo!

How exactly is it a 'false story' that some Republicans are admitting that there was Quid pro quo? Both Cruz and Kennedy have said it was "Quid pro quo but not illegal".

Of course. My remark was in reference to the scare tactic of claiming every president can and will be impeached. It relies on the listener believing the current impeachment is based entirely on partisan politics instead of being based on evidence of official misconduct....evidence provided by the administration itself.

...

This involves the Daily Mail, even if the Daily Mail is taking the story from another publication that I've never heard of, so it probably shouldn't be believed immediately, but... it would help explain what happened surprisingly well, if true.

REPORT: Kushner OK'd Khashoggi Arrest, Turkey Heard Call & Blackmailed Trump over Syrian Troops

Bring on the tapes that Mulvaney spoke of! If this actually isn't true, they'd disprove it, right?
