  1. When the Republicans had the Majority they never acted with such hatred and scorn!

    That’s because the GOP had cornered the market on hatred and scorn with the endless Benghazi investigations and repeated votes to de-fund the ACA.

    But I guess that doesn’t matter to him and the minions.

  2. Don’t worry Spanky, your turn in the barrel will come and these hearings of your toadies are just warm-ups for the main event.

    Trump Rule #1: He is always lying
    Trump Rule #2: He is always projecting

    Thus:

    • Whitaker’s testimony has already revealed things Trump knows are bad
    • Trump suspects that his numbers will never bounce back, and 2020 is cheat-or-lose for the GOP

    Also, because it all sort of runs together in his head:

    • Bezos’ war with AMI reveals Trump’s cards: illegal bargains with a handful of influential people to secure power by destroying opponents
  4. Oh, is the little boy crying wolf again? Yawn.

  5. A Democrat in the hearing totally showing a card to Whitaker.

    O/T, but when is the last time this sad sack has done anything that might charitably be described as his job??

    I mean, the President of the United States of America is usually one hell of a busy person. Even a relative lightweight like Dubya had a pretty full schedule when he wasn’t off at his ranch. But all this miserable excuse for a miserable excuse can manage is to hate-tweet at his usual targets, occasionally fuck up a budget negotiation, and wallow in butt-hurt-ness. Complete waste of O2.
