1. No shit, Spanky

Has he not been paying attention so far?

15. tRUMP manufactures his own reality and believes

anything else is fake.

2. What an idiot if you had the FBI investigate dumb ass you'd know

4. Why would Trump want another FBI investigation?

They find the truth.

[gratuitous]

3. Didn't Trump say just yesterday that if he found Dr. Ford credible . . . ?

Going to be a tough sell that the White House finds her testimony unbelievable.

6. Exactly my thoughts. But then he was lying when he said that.

5. Not just Republicans

Trump called her a con artists so this is blowing back on him as well

7. King Lear, with the Fool, in a storm

“Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, an germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man!”

Ok, in this case, “Singe my orange head!”

8. Being credible is easy when you're telling the truth.

Something the bigfatconjob wouldn't know anything about.

9. Sometimes it seems these tweeting journalists must have listening devices planted in the White House

… or I guess just plenty of staffers surreptitiously sending text messages

10. They thought they could give her the Anita Hill treatment...

...but forgot it’s not 1991 anymore.

11. Funny that.

A doctor specializing in psychology, epidemiology and biostatistics would be credible? Who knew?

[donkeypoofed]

12. 2-minute ToadieHead has the word "credible"in his lexicon?!

I do not believe that. It's above his level of thinking. Anyone who saw his presser yesterday would surely agree.

[yellowcanine]

13. Repubs were really hoping she would refuse to testify. She called their bluff.

Heh.

[hatrack]

14. They don't DO "preparation" or "advance work".

Team Shitstain is lazy and stupid. One's bad enough, two is lethal.

Hell, he demanded that his own transition team be shut down, because he thought it was costing him money.

The first time Trump paid attention to any of this was when he read about it in the newspaper. The story revealed that Trump’s very own transition team had raised several million dollars to pay the staff. The moment he saw it, Trump called Steve Bannon, the chief executive of his campaign, from his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower, and told him to come immediately to his residence, many floors above. Bannon stepped off the elevator to find Christie seated on a sofa, being hollered at. Trump was apoplectic, yelling: You’re stealing my money! You’re stealing my fucking money! What the fuck is this?

Seeing Bannon, Trump turned on him and screamed: Why are you letting him steal my fucking money? Bannon and Christie together set out to explain to Trump federal law. Months before the election, the law said, the nominees of the two major parties were expected to prepare to take control of the government. The government supplied them with office space in downtown DC, along with computers and rubbish bins and so on, but the campaigns paid their people. To which Trump replied: Fuck the law. I don’t give a fuck about the law. I want my fucking money. Bannon and Christie tried to explain that Trump couldn’t have both his money and a transition.

Shut it down, said Trump. Shut down the transition.
