McEntee, the former Fox News production assoc. and Trump campaign aid that was pushed out of the White House under then mysterious reasons was just placed in charge of White House personnel hiring decisions. He was pushed out previously because he had his security clearance revoked due to major gambling issues and suspected subsequent financial crimes to fund them. I don’t know what came of the crimes part, but the severe gambling problem was well established.

We’re like a boat that has been taking on a lot of water and is now starting to tilt up.

Trump just took to Twitter to pressure New York to drop legal proceedings against him in exchange for federal services he is withholding.

This is basically a variation of the Ukraine scandal, but against the US itself and done in full public view.

Subgenius, wonder if you possibly have been getting false news? That could explain your reactions and meaning you assign to events.

Grumpy Cat is now pretending to be butthurt, which is generally the new standard of behavior within the Trump Administration:

WASHINGTON—Attorney General William Barr said President Trump never asked him to intervene in a criminal case but added his tweets and public statements make it impossible for him to do his job, in a criticism of the president’s complaints about the prosecution of Roger Stone.

“I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases,” Mr. Barr said.

Mr. Barr’s comments in an interview with ABC News Thursday came in response to mounting criticism over the department’s handling of the Stone sentencing process. Mr. Trump praised Mr. Barr for “taking charge” of the case, but the attorney general said they never discussed it.

“I’m not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody...whether it’s Congress, a newspaper editorial board or the president,” Mr. Barr said. “I’m going to do what I think is right. And you know...I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me.”

Barr thinks that Trump being so open about the cover-up hurts his ability to execute it, but I'm not sure that's true. Trump's willingness to be so open about his corruption seems to help because our broken press relies on coverage tropes that handle this poorly.

Barr's statement reads to me like the classic non-denial denial. He didn't have to discuss the Stone or Flynn cases with Trump to know what he wanted. Trump's been broadcasting his opinions on the cases ad nauseam for months and months.

There was a thread started recently documenting more than a dozen laws he's broken. Feel free to refute them.

Violating the Constitution is in itself breaking the law.

So you can't post any laws he has "actually" broken.. Ok thanks!

If it wasn't kayfabe, Trump would be livid right now just as he was in every other known instance of having his actions and authority challenged. He's not. That's all you need to know.

S,

He violated the Impoundment Control Act. Do you want more, or are you just going to keep masturbating with your weak hand while you misspell words on your crappy phone while drive-by posting with your other weak hand?
