I'm watching the President meltdown on TV right now.

News of Cohen's FBI warrant set him off.
Witchhunt! Corrupt FBI
Bad people.
Why aren't they investigating HILLARY!!!!?

[superpatriotman]

1. Nixonian

Delusional

[TeamPooka]

20. Nixon was sane compared to this.

[MBS]

35. " " " " "n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. Nixon was a paragon of sanity and rectitude compared to Spanky.

[livetohike]

57. That's what I was thinking. Hands down worse than

Nixon. I don't think we've seen the worst of it yet.

[Pope George Ringo II]

58. It's easy to be distracted by how much better Nixon was in so many ways.

He was smarter, more honest, more patriotic, more competent, more charismatic...

[maddiemom]

69. Well, he WAS smarter and more competent, no argument there....

and oddly enough, I feel sure that he was more patriotic, as well.

[Volaris]

81. Nixon sold out political Fair Play for the sake of his own Power.

Trump has sold out his Nation just to pad his own wallet and ego. When this is DONE done, there won't be any comparison to make. Nixon died disgraced. But not in Federal Prison.

[Pope George Ringo II]

85. I won't call them redeeming virtues, all things considered

But the plain fact is that Nixon actually had virtues. He left the Oval Office to go personally ask protesters what they wanted. AFAIK, he's the last President to do that. The "Checkers Speech" was made by a father who genuinely loved his children, and I think many of us can connect with that in a way we can't with a mercenary opportunist. Nixon's military service is honorable enough, albeit unspectacular. I think we're all clear on his flaws, but he was a three-dimensional human being who set a new standard for failure in the crucible of the White House.

I just can't find anything nice at all to say about Trump, and he was a contemptible human being long before he sniffed the White House. He might as well be a Bond villain.

[dchill]

82. Nixonian - with none of the booze, and none of the brains.

[USALiberal]

2. Most people post some details for a post like this. Like even a sentence or two. nt

[TeamPooka]

4. Turn on your TV. (See post 18)

I apologize to those of you without TV right now. I added more details in my posts

[JNelson6563]

7. I don't have TV.

And some people are not always at home.

I guess a sentence or two is just...too...much...

[bearsfootball516]

11. Not everybody has a TV available to the 24/7

[Coventina]

12. I am at work.

I'd appreciate some details.

[Bengus81]

19. FBI raiding Cohen's office........

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

68. ...and they're taking a shitload of stuff from his office and hotel digs,

and given that Cohen is Trump's self-described "fixer," there's bound to be some damning stuff there. Much of it will not be protected by attorney-client privilege, according to several ex-U.S. attorneys on MSNBC. Anything that relates to the commission of a crime falls in that category, for instance.

Also, the former federal prosecutors were talking about how many institutional hurdles have to be cleared before the FBI will approach a federal judge to get a search warrant. Getting a search warrant for a lawyer is a big deal, not entered into lightly. In other words, you don't do it unless you've got more than just a feeling that there's something rotten in Denmark.

My understanding is that Mueller approached Rosenstein about referring this case to the Southern District of New York, rather than handle it as part of the Russia probe. Rosenstein approved the referral, and that means even if Trump fires (or attempts to fire) Mueller, there's still a major investigation involving his personal lawyer that will be in progress. And since Trump and Cohen have had a long time business relationship, any investigation into Cohen's doings will most likely include IQ45.

What's that crunching sound? It's Donnie Two Scoops' nuts in a vice.

[JI7]

21. I don't have a tv right now

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. What's tv? Does it have a purpose? Sounds vaguely last century.

[TeamPooka]

18. i edited and post some more details but he can't handle what;s going on.

I've never seen a President literally act like a guilty perp on Law & Order or Dragnet before.
He closed on Disgraceful witchhunt repeated.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. EMAILS!

[FarPoint]

5. I just got off work..

In my C-Max... Sirius XM on MSNBC on with tRump...

Apparently I missed something..what happened?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. The FBI raided Michael Cohen's office. Spanky isn't happy.

[FarPoint]

49. Thank you so much!

Very enlightening day!....
I'm home now.. got MSNBC ON TV now...got caught up on drive home listening to MSNBC on Sirius XM....

Cool that this was filed in New York!

[bdamomma]

70. you make me smile

Spanky

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. There was some orange-faced lunatic on my TV.

He sounded insane so I turned it off.

[ailsagirl]

79. I had the same reaction. Turned the channel ASAP

[nolabear]

8. It is a thing of beauty.

[PJMcK]

53. I love his body language

The way he wraps his arms around his body and they way he keeps looking down just screams, "I'm innocent!"

(snark)

He's a disgrace.

[bdamomma]

71. Folding his arms

that is an defensive and guarded position. Crap he has Bolton there too.

[flibbitygiblets]

80. That! Even his lying and hyperbole was half-hearted (a few choice quotes below)

A few quotes for those with no TV, followed by quick fact-checks:

"They' broke into my personal attorney's office (Actually, "they" were the FBI, and "they" had a warrant; otherwise anything "they" seized would be inadmissible.)
"The stock market is down, and it was way up until this happened" (aka, It's the FBI's fault the market tumbled)
"Witch Hunt" (knee-jerk, default response)
"My opponent's acid-washed emails" (also a default response, with random reference to a shitty '80's fashion trend)
"This is an attack on America" (thinks he's above the law and/or HE is the law)
"This is a disgrace" (projecting, presumably)
"Sessions made a terrible mistake for the country by recusing himself" (apparently still thinks the AG is there to protect him)
"Many people have said I should fire Mueller" (actually the one thing pretty much everyone agrees on is exactly the opposite)

[malaise]

9. Pathetic

SAD

[dhol82]

13. Damn he is rambling!

Back to Hillary’s emails!
Blame everybody else!
Wonder if he will bomb Iran tonight?

[Bengus81]

14. JAIL to the Chief.....da ta ta da dum dum dee dum........

[nolabear]

15. Hes riffing on firing Mueller now.

Hoo boy. I smell impeachment.

[Satch59]

16. Losing it...

Hillary's emails...acid washed...blah blah blah...

Never mind your personal lawyer is being investigated for bank & wire fraud, FEC crimes... FBI can't raid unless there is a probable crime...CRIME!!!

[Corgigal]

17. Per Malcolm Nance

the target is getting buggy.

[Caliman73]

23. Like a cockroach

Buggy as heck!! Someone needs to drag him off, but by all means please keep speaking Trump!

[OldHippieChick]

22. He is so confused and unsure

where to focus, so he just keeps repeating "witch hunt". As we say in the South "Bless his heart"

[Books_Tea_Alone]

24. OMG- Unhinged!!

What a bunch of old white bags sitting around the table! When he crosses his arms like that and pouts- look out! I thought something was going to get thrown, but quickly realized the white bags removed all props from his reach

[peggysue2]

25. Ooooo, the Trumpster has his . . .

constipated posturing going on--pouting, arms crossed and irritated.

We'll see what happens

That's always the statement to end the discussion after the well-know mantra of No Collusion, No Collusion.

And Bolton has made his appearance! Mr. Mustache will be recommending actions in Syria. What's not to like?

Ugh!

[Gothmog]

26. Here is the video

[Sugarcoated]

27. ALL projection

Amazing how he does that

[Phoenix61]

28. Thanks for posting

He isn't making sense. Just spewing word salad.

[TeamPooka]

32. It's hard to watch that and think "This man is President of the United States."

[nature-lover]

84. My thought from the beginning. The only good thing that I can say about this presidency...

...is that the world is now probably convinced that there was vote tampering by the Russians. We couldn't have been so stupid as to elect him intentionally.

[NCTraveler]

36. This response is a bit horrifying.

He isn’t alone in his “thought” process.

[MrsCoffee]

37. "They broke into"

Lol.

What a dumbass.

[redstateblues]

44. Im sure he thinks its just like Watergate!

[TeamPooka]

75. Propaganda words. Evil as fuck this man is.

[rzemanfl]

38. "Broke in." The orange anus has a fine grasp of the nuances of our legal system. n/t

[grantcart]

39. Lol he isn't aware that he appointed the Federal Prosecutor for Southern Manhattan

[Gothmog]

46. Que the Hillary gifs on what she's thinking about Fatso-In-Chief's blaming HER for HIS tReason .....

Dotard J. tRumputin's Wicked-witch-feet-curl/Oval Office meltdown after hearing about his CROOKED fixers office being raided by the FBI:












Fatso's melt down.

[tavernier]

60. Love her in yellow!

I bet she’s having a wonderful day!

[LenaBaby61]

61. Love her in yellow!

Yes, Hillary can't help but have a great evening

As for Hillary, she can wear the hell out of Yellow. And as we know, not everyone can wear yellow

You can see facially that Fatso-In-Chief was shaken, not stirred during his Oval Office meltdown, er, interview by the press

Can't wait to see Rach's show tonight

[gademocrat7]

29. OMG

What a raving lunatic...

[procon]

30. What's even more astounding is that Trump did his weepy tirade in front

of all the top brass military leaders of a war council on Syria. There's one long shot on the video that shows the generals looking very unforgettable, squirming around in their seats and staring fixedly down at the table as their Commander in Chief acts like a petulant brat having a full on temper tantrum.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

33. Trump firing any cabinet officer who is not a "yes man". Staving off the 25th Amendment. . . . nt

[brooklynite]

34. Many people say I should fire Mueller

JUST IN: President Trump responds to question "why don't you just fire Mueller?"

"Well, I think it's a disgrace what's going on. We'll see what happens ... many people have said you should fire him. Again, they found nothing."

[magicarpet]

40. Oh STFU...

Sneak off in the dead of night in your big jet airplane and go to the loving arms of Putin in Moscow. We have no extradition treaty with them. You can get off scot-free. Do the country a favor and resign the presidency.

Oh... and take Pence to Moscow with you.

Tah-tah
Bye-bye

[TeamPooka]

41. I was laughing out loud at your post and banged my heel and went from hahahah to owowowow

[magicarpet]

43. Careful... that is how you get bone spurs.

[backtoblue]

54. Ha!

[TeamPooka]

73. hahahahahahahaha ow!

[bdamomma]

74. He is perpetrating

mental abuse on the American people, I wish he would just get lost. Stupid ass and I do not trust Pence either. They are all thugs.

[lpbk2713]

42. Most of the corruption I see is in the White House.

And I know if I walked by there it would smell like an open septic tank.

[magicarpet]

45. And a distinct odor of sulfur..

Bring lots of garlic along on your walk.

[mcar]

47. It was Trump bingo!

He hit all his favorites - Hillary, Democrats in the FBI , witch hunt, we'll see.

[Grammy23]

48. The side eye from Pence was

Pretty noticeable. He had a look of horror on his face, eyebrows furrowed and he kept glancing over sideways at tRumpolini like he expected him to blow like a volcano at any moment.

The next 24 hours may prove to be historic. Stay tuned. 👀

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. Afterwards, do you suppose he called Mother

and told her to start thinking about what color she'd like for the White House drapes?

[Grammy23]

67. Bwahaha!

Good one! And yes, he probably did have a giddy call to Mother.

[C_U_L8R]

55. Mike Pence

was humming hail to chief to himself

[Gothmog]

56. Happiest attorney in the country right now:

[Kentonio]

64. Well..

Might be a toss up between Dowd or Michael Avenatti.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

72. Second happiest attorney

"Fire me after telling me you wouldn't, asshole!" said former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara

[TeamPooka]

83. Dowd might need his own lawyer for those witness tampering inquiries.

[kimbutgar]

59. I am enjoying seeing him meltdown

[Enoki33]

62. Incoherent.

[spanone]

63. Most of them are Democrats..............LIE

[raven mad]

65. Thank you!!!

Now I don't have to use the walker to get the 80' to the TV. None in here, and NPR (local KUAC) is crackling & fading in & out. So double thanks - when spouse gets home, we'll look it up.

As of right now? If I weren't forbidden to by Doc Natalie, I'd be doing my Happy Dance! K&R with drums and trombones!!

Aside - did the orange fuckwit REALLY bring up MY Hillary? Where do I contribute to his rival?

[caballojm]

66. I hope Orange Caligula is wearing brown pants

If you know what I mean.

[DemoTex]

76. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain DemoTex ..

The fasten seat belt light is on. We have some very rough air ahead. Please remain in your seats, with your seat belts fastened.

[bdamomma]

77. It just never stops

he is a disgrace to us, the country and the world, why is he still there????

24 hours of continuing sh$t about this thug and his cohorts sick of it.
