Trump's administration is all bubbles and no champagne anyway. It was bound to lose it's fizz sooner or later.

DONNER

"Let's all just embrace our inner BS!"

Sorry, but I really don't think any of us have suffered the poor parenting, over-indulgence, loveless and lack of accountability that brought Trump to this point.

It must have taken years to create this psychological train wreck.

We just don't have it in us.

"Spied"

You love that word don't you? It sounds so evil, doesn't it. Like strange men in trench coats and dark sunglasses stuff. Hats pulled down low. Peaking around corners. Binoculars in unmarked black cars.

But there's a difference in your use of the word and legally authorized surveillance.

I'll let somebody else diagnose your obtuse problem.

JOHNNY

"Everything he says is a lie."

And 99.9% of his brain power is dedicated to hurting somebody.

Example: Now Trump is proposing a plan to cut disabled people off SSI and SSDI which includes (no surprise) children.

I don't know the clinical name but it's obvious there's something wrong with this man's head. It doesn't suffice any longer to just say he's nuts.

LAMP

I think you're trying to say that Mr. Giuliani is a couple ants short of a picnic.

DANNI

I don't think they're fooling themselves. Nobody could fool themselves under these circumstances.

They just like to stir the pot on this site. Unless they're really, REALLY, REALLY stupid.

However, I've noticed that when we get off the subject of politics, we have some very smart people on this board.

Greta is a very brave young lady to put herself in line of Trump's Gatling gun of putdowns and scathing insults. I hear he's been at it already this morning.

He's been lobbying TIME for two years to get back on that cover.

Curses! Foiled again! By a 16 year old child. Trump's head must be exploding with rage.

Trump's insecurities must be a bottomless pit.

NUKE

"If "Joe Biden" is the answer, what was the question?"

Who can beat Trump? There isn't anybody else on the stage that can even come close.

Trump must think so, too, cause he's sure going to a lot of trouble to prove it.

GUNSLINGER

Winning the award and getting the money are two different things. Trump could drive her into the poorhouse trying to collect an award. He'd never pay up.

BORED

Do you really think a "smart" lawyer would set himself up to be part of the crime. I think that's how John Gotti's lawyer (Bruce Cutter) lost his license and got barred from even appearing in the courtroom.

Maybe he could use that famous Mafia code Trump knows so well.

TOR

Barr must see some reward for him at the end. Some place where principals are a liability instead of an asset . . . some place Trumpish.

Come to think of it, Trump is going to need a good lawyer when he falls into the clutches of New York's district attornies. That would be a bed perfectly feathered for a "former" Attorney General.

And don't mention Giuliani. He has more baggage than Barr and New York knows him too well.

BORED

Who is "Jay?"

These young Saudi students are already pilots. They're here to train for joint military operations with American pilots.

Grounding them was the absolute right thing to do. Even at that, I hope nobody left the keys in the ignition.

If so, it wouldn't be the first time somebody stole a fast jet and headed for home.

BORED

Individual #1 wouldn't do it face-to-face. Things like this go through layers of messengers so #1 can keep his hands clean.

IOW, the investigators might "know" it but can they prove it? And since it's Barr's DOJ, would they even want to?

It's a good thing Trump was standing behind a podium. I think he gets a woody thinking about Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in the sack.

TOR

Maybe Bloomberg isn't through yet.

REDIAL

Trump is going to filled with rage. Obviously TIME must be part of the "Deep State."

OTOH, TIME has given him a new rival to rake over the coals. Revenge occupies about 99.99% of his thinking power.

WISGOD

Keep whistling. It's a long walk, a dark night and a very big graveyard.

CLOWN

"At this point it would make sense for everyone remaining to stay in until after the February primaries."

Also, there's going to be a lot of jobs opening up in a new administration. The man at the top isn't an island. The primary is a good place to submit your resume'.

I'm trying to think of a good place where Pete might fit in.

TOR

"Good grief even conservative lawyers look down on Trump and his cronies?"

Yes, and even Barr sounds less and less convincing as he turns himself into a pretzel to justify his scummy client. Barr will be lucky if he doesn't get dis-barred for being a co-conspirator. There was a time (not long ago) when Barr was respected among his peers. But not any more. Sometimes it's hard to understand why a sworn officer of the court goes to the dark side and throws his life down the drain like this.

PHESTER

"Trump has been busy warding off the endless coup. I'm surprised he's gotten so much done with all the distractions."

Thank you for bring a little humor into the debate.

GREATAMERICAN

"Der GROPENSNIFFER for 2020!"

It's not polite to call Trump names in a foreign language.

SENTINEL

Thank you. I read your link and that makes more sense.

IDAHOGIRL

Let's don't gang up on Joe. He's not the enemy here. I, for one, am not going to join the divisive crowd.

Joe's a good guy with a different opinion, that's all.

JOE

" you better start demanding "

I seriously doubt if my "demands" would make it past the circle file in the mail room.

As I said, I'll find out but I rarely ever vote based on domestic issues that are at the mercy of the Legislative branch who control the purse strings.

Foreign policy is where the presidential action is.
