Wow. Rick Wilson tweeted note he just got from a senior House leadership aide, re Trump:

A senior house leadership aide sends this note after trump's loco presser just now.

"Fuck him. He couldnt fucking shut his fucking mouth for 8 fucking hours. Fuck."

[Blue_Adept]

1. Scene: A picture of house leadership

womp womp

[Xipe Totec]

3. Henceforth the house leadership shall be called the womp womp swamp. nt

[Metro135]

17. ROFL!

[world wide wally]

22. Drain the womb!

[JHB]

37. OK, that's probably going to end up as a TOONs edition heading

bookmarking thread

[lunatica]

44. We're gonna need a whole new dictionary

Trump Dictionary - Grammatically incorrect, best guesses on word definitions such as Covfefe, womp womp or bigly and combined word such Nambia. Original spelling such as Council and Councel when referring to White House Counsel, unpresidented act, tapp my phones, attaker, hearby and hear by, etc., etc., etc.

Without such a dictionary historians will be confused.

[highplainsdem]

47. LOL!

[uponit7771]

62. lol

[airmid]

7. I have been driving the Trump Cult crazy with the same response all morning....lol

[Trek4Truth]

28. Me too....took a few hits over there at Faux...there are more lib's around than deplorables. It's

also a very unfair fight...but hey at least I'm not banned over there!

[OnDoutside]

20. I have to say,

[imanamerican63]

2. Is that you, JK, COS?

[NewJeffCT]

4. Until they actually do something about Trump

you know, like fucking voting against him and/or stop fucking enabling him, fucking words passed via a fucking note or fucking text message are fucking meaningless.

[AZ8theist]

25. Fuckin A!!

[calimary]

30. Yeah? So then join us in IMPEACHING the S. O. B.!

Throw some backbone into it. Show some guts!

[NewJeffCT]

33. I'd be happy if they started with some tough questions

for Pruitt, Ross and DeVos, as well as some Sr White House staff...

[WinstonSmith4740]

40. Damn Skippy.

I still don't see these suddenly conscience-ridden people walking out and getting in front of microphones to say this. Until they do, fuck 'em all. They got on this train knowing exactly where it would take them.

[Blue_Tires]

63. +1

5. Time to invoke the 25th Amendment

If only ...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. +1. . . . nt

[wryter2000]

6. When are they going to DO something?

I'm so sick of their private outrage.

[Hassler]

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. Sorry, been really busy today. Can someone provide context?

[dhol82]

36. I can only respond to the dump rant I heard after a cabinet meeting this morning

He couldn’t stop blaming the democrats, Obama and anybody else he could think of, for the entire time he was speaking. He lied from one end to the other.
I finally turned it off because it was making my pressure rise.

[NoMoreRepugs]

42. Thanks.

[CrispyQ]

9. Just a reminder of the real Constitutional crisis:

[BumRushDaShow]

12. THIS THIS THIS

They are sitting there like fucking deer in the headlights going, "Wait wut? You want me to do something?".

(I maintain that some of this is because of that massive group of GOP dumbasses that came in after the 2010 elections who not only didn't know how government works and the role of the legislative branch, but didn't care)

[CrispyQ]

13. And the old timer GOP members who are complicit in accepting Russian money & data.

I post this on my FB page all the time, as a reminder to people where the real problem lies. As November approaches, this message is even more important! Spread it far & wide!

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Yes! They sold their souls for the $$$

(and rubles).

[C Moon]

61. It's eye opening when people on FB (for instance) back Trump and say there is no Russian involment..

Yet,
– Trump's heading to Russia in July to meet Putin.
– Several GOP asses are going to Russia on July 4th.
– Russian media is proclaiming something big is about to happen.

I guess if the only "news" one gets is from Fox, then they will be in the dark forever.

[MarcA]

46. Their idea of how government works is - give it to the Kochs et al n/t

[gibraltar72]

21. I've said many times

the framers of the constitution never ever thought there would be traitors in all 3 branches.

[Renew Deal]

45. I've been saying this for month

People seem to overlook it

[pazzyanne]

52. We need congress critters that are willing, able and commited to doing their job.

VOTE BLUE! It is the only real chance the United States of America has to survive what is happening. This country is under assault on all levels and by home grown terrorists, better known as the Republican party. Don't let them win. VOTE BLUE!

[CrispyQ]

55. We win back at least one chamber of Congress in November or our chances of surviving Trump

go down exponentially. The damage he's done in 18 months is staggering.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Yet the person the aide works for keeps voting for his shit.

[rainin]

11. Why 8 hours?

[AZ8theist]

26. I'd settle for 8 minutes.

I don't know, but perhaps the staffer was working on an immigration bill. Then Dotard torpedoed the whole process by lying ( er, ...ah....I mean OPENING HIS PIEHOLE...)

[rainin]

29. It seems to be something like that. It's so weirdly specific.

[AZ8theist]

31. I was right...he opened his lying, imbecilic pie hole....

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142090649

[Mopar151]

58. It's a burger hole... n/t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

53. The 8 hour thing--my guess would be he's talking about the news cycle.

He wishes Fatass would at least let one news cycle go without a display of personal shittiness. Just a guess.

[Achilleaze]

14. the republican's chosen Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is a super a-hole

no wonder they picked him to be the republican family-values role model

[Mr.Bill]

18. I'm not near a TV.

What did Trump say during the presser?

[highplainsdem]

23. See Aaron Rupar's Twitter account for lots of tweets w/ video clips, quotes.

https://twitter.com/atrupar


Rupar works for ThinkProgress.


Sorry, but I haven't been able to find full video of his insane rant yet.

Rupar's thread on the cabinet meeting/presser starts here:

[highplainsdem]

34. Finally found the entire video, posted on C-SPAN. Link to DU topic about it:

https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100210768413

[pazzyanne]

54. Oh, my God! I tried to watch this and couldn't finish.

I want to get this POS out of the White House soooo bad. Can't stand this anymore.

[duforsure]

19. Stealing babies and putting them in cages

Shows how much he really thinks of children. Free the Children trump! His aides should suggest that now because the cry for these babies will grow louder, and louder until all the children have been returned. If they can't be he should be asked to resign , if he won't fired.

[world wide wally]

24. In all reality, if any of these GOP congressmen or Senators actually opposed Trump,they would

Vote against him on every issue to show him being weak and ineffective instead of strengthening him by voting for his agenda.

[Mr.Bill]

32. That's the problem.

It's not his agenda, it's their agenda.

[dhol82]

48. If they all hadn't sold their souls to Putin and the NRA we might see a difference

[elleng]

27. Well that's a highly articulate response.

[LudwigPastorius]

35. Only just now snapping to the fact that Trump will take them down when he craters.

Wake up, you GOP fools.

Start distancing from him now. Discuss how the impeachment process will go down, and how you will play it before November.

[heaven05]

38. yeah

I agree, fuck trump.

[Butterflylady]

39. Maybe sewing it shut might work.

[IronLionZion]

41. It's long past time for new leadership

[bronxiteforever]

43. November can't come soon enough. N/t

[blake2012]

50. Which press conference

[LuckyLib]

64. One of his sit-down cabinet blatherings where he trashes Democrats and

lies non-stop.

[Ferrets are Cool]

51. It "looks" good when we see it, but damn, it's so COWARDLY.

Do something assholes, besides shaking in fear of this imbecile in chief.

[thucythucy]

56. Republicans want it both ways.

They want to suck up to Trump and his rabid racist base, but at the same time want some credit for secretly be appalled.

It reminds me of this Simpsons clip. The faux concern and apology begins at 1:20.

Private e-mails back and forth are meaningless. It's about eighteen months past time these cowards stood up for actual American values, rather than kowtowing to a Russian stooge and his following of addled cultists.

[Orsino]

57. When he can't keep his mouth shut, that's when he is feeling most insecure.

He showed up on a mission, but of course exactly what it was he wanted other than adulation was unclear.

[dae]

59. We feel his pain

[Midnightwalk]

60. Want immigration reform? Vote Democratic

One of the many lies is that the Democratic party blocks immigration reform.

In the house, republicans couldn't get a simple majority on their hard-line bill on Thursday. They pushed back the vote on the more moderate bill because they couldn't get a simple majority on that either.

In the senate, the votes for immigration reform came almost entirely from Democrats.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/16/heres-how-your-senators-voted-on-failed-immigration-proposals.html

The one bill Republican senators could get behind wasn't about immigration reform, it only punished sanctuary cities.

Sorry if I miscount the check marks on the other votes

The Coons/Mccain bill failed 52-47 with 46 Democratic votes, 2 independent votes and 4 Republican votes

The Collins bill which included 25 Billion for border security failed 54-45 with 46 Democratic votes, 2 independent votes and 6 Republican votes.

The Grassley bill couldn't get a simple majority and failed 39-60.

If Trump says something the default position should be that it is a lie.
