Putin-Gate

What's crazier-- Trump's furious twitter stream howling at the moon about his legal jeopardy (above)-- much of which was certainly written by his current lawyer-- or the very timely Trump Code of Dishonor (below).

by NoahTrump resigning would be good for the country and the known universe, but I'd prefer to see him play Russian Roulette on worldwide pay-per-view. Not only would the irony of the name of the choice of game be delicious, but the event could raise billions for some good causes and rid the world of this pestilence.

Sunday, on MSNBC's AM Joy, sharp-tongued columnist Jennifer Rubin predicted that in January 2021, just as his term is finally ending, Señor Trumpanzee will resign so that "President" Pence, also on his way to the garbage heap of history, can pardon him of all crimes.Eric Levitz is always good for a yuck.

Yesterday, two of the Washington Post's star political reporters, Robert Costa and Philip Rucker, wrote that Republican anxiety is spiking as Trump faces growing legal and political perils and asserted that "a growing number of Republicans fear that a battery of new revelations in the far-reaching Russia investigation has dramatically heighte

Lucky John Kelly! He won't be central to the final unravelling of the Trumpist House of Horrors. Trump, who had already promised Nick Ayers that he would make him chief of staff, finally worked up the courage to announce he was firing Kelly-- although, of course, not to his face.

You know what’s become second nature to Americans now-- Trump’s lying. It’s no longer news when he lies. Just 16% of his public statement, according to PolitiFact, are either true or mostly true. He just lies all the time. And we didn’t need Robert Mueller’s Putin-Gate investigation--nor even the NY Times to tell us that.

The other day, in one of his delusional twitter ranks, the cornered rat was screeching that Mueller’s meticulous investigation into Putin-Gate is an “illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt” that wasted $40,000,000.

Roger and Randy like a little publicityIf Trump’s legal team wanted to further discredit and undermine the Mueller investigation into Putin-Gate, they might drag lots of clowns onto the public stage to attempt to make a mockery of the whole thing. Maybe they could dig up some perennial candidate, a comedian and talk show host who says he can’t remember anything because he’s been so heavily medicated.

Maybe Trump will find solace tomorrow tangoing in the arms of his Russian master, but everything at home is collapsing around his ears-- as should be expected by the country when someone of Trump’s calibre and lack of preparation, apptitude and qualifications is elected (sort of) to the highest office in the land-- and then allowed, by a supine Congress, to run amuck.

“A caged animal” is an awful way to describe even an illegitimate “president” if the United States. But it isn’t inaccurate. On Friday, Carol Leaning and Josh Dawsey reported for the Washington Post that Trump wrote his own answers to Mueller’s questions. I wonder what percentage of his own hard core base-- even the most drug addicted, low IQ Trump worshipping zombies-- believe that.
