So that staged shit show today was supposed to comfort 'Murca?

Wow! The so-called President of the United States was actually able to sit at a table for nearly an hour without tweeting, without watching TV. He pretended to be a "leader" as sycophants blew him kisses, and Democrats did pretty much of nothing. Oh, my! He's such a he-man! And he was focused -- except for all the times he showed that he was still a rambling fool.

Bread and circuses to keep the masses amused. All the newsies are back to swooning over what a great leader he is. Meanwhile, I'm going to throw up a few times.

"Bread and circuses to keep the masses amused...."

I don't think 'the masses' watch hour long meetings about immigration reform. Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty fit that niche already...

For a split second, I felt bad about the possibility of locking up a senile person. But that footage cleared a lot up. Also, his white nationalist base is FURIOUS about what they saw ("I'll sign anything!&quot . LOL!

"Let these people do whatever they want. Add in some earmarks, who gives a damn? I'll don't know jack shit about anything, so send me a bill and I'll sign it."

Yeah, baby! That's some strong leadership!
