The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

I would have thought the Congressional Democratic leadership wouldn't be stupid enough to agree to deal that puts the next debt limit fight in the middle of a potential Democratic president's first term. But I should never underestimate the stupidity of the Democratic Congressional leadership.

It's not really about sides, it's just politics as usual.

They claim, like many of us do, it’s bigley at 9”.

For some context on length:

Let’s go from the smallest to the largest.

4-5inch – COCKTAIL STRAWS These are the tiny straight or bent straws for your fancy drink.
7-8.5inch – STANDARD STRAWS These is the standard size of reusable straw size sold. Only suitable for small to medium sized glasses.
10.5inch – LONG STRAWS This is the longest size of straw that is typically available.

The straws are not recyclable. No straw is. They're too small.

The UK learning its ‘special relationship’ with the US ain’t that special.

It’s almost like Trump wants Iran to attack EU flagged ships for some reason

How many whiskeys tomorrow?

This certainly helps.

So this Mueller appears to be a bit of a disaster.

So this Mueller appears to be a bit of a disaster.

I only got to listen up the the second question. The Republican from GA that talks so fucking fast you can’t understand him.

[bada]

He's struggling with even simple questions. I thought we sent a shark after Trump who is this guy?

Not enough people in the background making white power hand signs.

Trump picks up the slack while talking about AOC

This drops on Netflix tonight. All about Cambridge analytica and Aaron banks and dark money that hacked brexit and elected trump. Banks is trying to sue Netflix over it. That alone makes me want to watch.

[tragabigzanda]

Thanks dime, I’ll definitely be watching that.

Anyone see Dark Money?

I’m very pleased with how Mueller has carried himself thus far, and today’s no exception. He’s not taking any bait on partisan narrative spinning, and generally doubling down on “the report speaks for itself,” which will go a long way with the more informed independent voters.

Yeah, I would assume there is some risk if he says the wrong thing he could compromise future prosecution right? Seems smart to just keep repeating "RTFMR".

I’m assuming the Republican rushed questioning early on was about creating soundbites of Mueller asking for repeats or sounding confused, so it’ll be interesting to watch for that angle to pop up.

Democrats, sadly, seem to want some meteoric burst of a moment that opens the door to impeachment...or which frames the president's behavior with perfect clarity, so they can capitalize on public realization. The reality is that his public actions were often nakedly obstructive, and by endlessly begging someone else to explain that in dull, pontification-laden hearings they only manage to make the obscene and deranged seem unremarkable and tedious. And themselves ineffective.

They definitely ensured that the American people understand that the report they didn't read speaks for itself.

Heard someone earlier saying this hearing is pointless to which the reply was you can’t get Americans to read the book but they will watch the movie.

Just a matter of seeing how this is all spun and edited and warped out of context by certain outlets.
