I thought we had dismissed that part of the spy's dossier as baseless innuendo. Oh, you're talking about the press conference, aren't you? My bad. That's fine. We'll just get ourselves a new president and not tell him. It'll be like "The Emperor's New Administration."

It sho' was, wasn't it? Mm-hm. Looks like someone's just ready to bust out from under their hood. That's okay. We cool.

Eons ago. At least, I think I did. But I remember posting that video in reference to something or other in this thread and someone (marceline?) remarking how I just HAD to go there w/ the AMC/Erica Kane meltdown analogy. (And don't call me "bitch." I am not your "bitch." If you can't respect me enough to call me by my name, then don't call me at all.)

I did it first.

Hey, I didn't say he'd be successful, lol. I'm just saying, if it comes to that point, he won't go peacefully.

Nevertheless, I feel as if Trump might barricade himself inside the WH and refuse to resign or be impeached before we ever get to that point.

I'm sure I've posted this before, but...

"Trump totally reverts back to the Saturday statement." Yeah, I was wondering when ol' Ike Turner was gonna show up.

"The media still doesn't know the facts"? What the [!@#$%^&*] more is there to know? A Nazi sympathizer with a violent history drove his car into a group of counter-protesters on the street. One of them died. Seems pretty clear-cut to me, Donny! The more he tries to explain away his blatant racism and blame the media for something he, himself, failed to do, the deeper the pit he digs for himself. Welp. There ya go. He did EXACTLY what I said he'd do. He blamed the counter-protesters. It's like watching Y&R and seeing everyone blame Christine for having the nerve to get run down by Phyllis' car.

Frankly, I don't think the NR went far enough. I think ALL "monuments" to the Confederacy should be trashed, period. But I think this call is coming, because everyone (well, most everyone) agrees that no matter how each might feels about the damn things, they're not worth killing people over. Charlottesville was one Charlottesville too many. Geez, don't we have enough of those running around on Capitol Hill?

From the POLITICO article: “His statement today was more kumbaya nonsense,” [Richard] Spencer said. “Only a dumb person would take those lines seriously.” As much as it pains me to say it, I think he's right. I think you DO have to be dumb to take Trump's Monday statement seriously. Unfortunately, I think too many -- both in the media, and among Congress -- did take it seriously. They couldn't see (or, perhaps more appropriately, they didn't WANT to see) that his words on Monday rang just as false as the ones he spoke on Saturday.

Wouldn't change a damn thing anyway.

You know how he doesn't like us darkies gettin' uppity.

Yeah, but you and I know that the Internet NEVER forgets.

It's nice to know we have SUCH a mature man running this country. But seriously. First, we had the video of someone with "CNN" superimposed over his face being body-slammed WWE-style. Now, this. This is like placing a target on the back of every man and woman who works for CNN. An open invitation, if you will, for kooks out there to take 'em out on sight. If I were Jeff Zucker, I'd get security detail for all my network's on-air personalities pronto. Oh, and by the way, Donald? We still haven't forgotten about Russia.

Ryan Leaf's ghostwritten apology for accosting that journalist in the locker room was more sincere than the drivel Trump was forced (under duress, apparently) to deliver today. And that's considering the fact that Leaf literally crumpled up HIS statement when he finished reading it and tossed it over his shoulder into his locker.

I'm beginning to see that. Same.

Again: LOL!!

LOL!!

How many people remain on the Manufacturing Council?

I miss NYC so much.

What do you want to bet the protesters who toppled that statue will end up serving more jail time than Jimmy "J.J." Fields? LOVE. IT.

Good question, Roman! I wondered that myself! It's not as if no one knew who Richard Spencer was or what he espoused before last weekend. I suspect, though, they might have canceled, because they don't want another Charlottesville on their hands. It's sad but it's true: sometimes, it takes people dying before others start paying attention. That's because Nixon had managed (somewhat) to rehabilitate his image in the years following Watergate. IDK whether he ever truly felt repentant about his actions or was merely fronting; but whenever I saw him on this-or-that program, he always appeared to me as a broken man. Trump...? Nah, that day's never gonna come. Even if he's pushed out of the WH and sent up the river, he'll just double down like he always does.

WaPo (to Trump): "Yeah, boo, we ain't forgot about that Russia [!@#$%^&*]!"
