Here are some photos from last night’s annual White House Christmas Tree lighting event. Donald and Melania Trump were there, although Bigly reportedly skipped out just after his speech (I have no idea if that’s true, I didn’t watch it). I also see that poor Tiffany Trump was there. The whole event just seemed joyless and budget.
Anyway, I’ve been trying to avoid a lot of Trump news, because the stories are getting more detailed and conspiratorial and collusion-y. Suffice to say, Robert Mueller seems to have made a very big play this week with Paul Manafort, and Jerome Corsi seems to be up to his neck in high-level treason. Manafort has lied about everything, to everyone, and most legal experts tend to agree that Manafort is going to be screwed a million different ways by the legal system and Bobby Mueller. Donald Trump is still making noise about pardoning Manafort, but I genuinely believe that if Trump even tried to pardon Manafort, it would lead to utter shambles across the board. Here’s something else I believe: Trump grows even more nervous by the day. He was up late last night rage-tweeting, and then he got up bright and early this morning to tweet some more sh-t:
So much happening with the now discredited Witch Hunt. This total Hoax will be studied for years!

Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime? At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren’t even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!

When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2018
And our Orwellian nightmare continues. The only thing that’s true in these tweets is that all of this will be studied for years – not just Mueller’s investigation, but how millions of (white) Americans completely abdicated their responsibility as citizens just to protect their own narrowing power structure, and the collective delusions of those same people who believe Trump’s lies. Also, I love how self-pitying Trump is – the witch hunt has “shattered so many innocent lives,” like… Mike Flynn’s poor, precious, innocent life? Paul Manafort’s innocent life? My God.

If this is his ‘calm’ before the storm, I can’t wait till the day the storm and reckoning arrives.
We’re getting closer with the raid on Deutsch Bank.
And Cohen just admitted to lying about the Moscow meeting – IQ45 is about to loose his diarrhoea on twitter.
A few tweets that I enjoyed in response:
“FWIW, Special Counsel Mueller has already obtained more successful convictions / guilty pleas in 18 months than the #GTMO military commissions—which have cost well over $1,000,000,000—have obtained in 17 years. But who’s counting??”
https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1068128128231448576
“In search of a crime has equaled: Dozens of indictments, a half-dozen guilty pleas, one trial conviction, $60 million seized. In just a year.”
https://twitter.com/vermontgmg/status/1068112023865696256
Exactly.
Yup.. and more seizures of ill gotten gains to come I am sure.
Yes but unfortunately the deplorables seem to truly believe it’s a “witch hunt.” I got sidetracked down some rabbit hole full of Trump supporters and they didn’t KNOW about the indictments. Or claimed not to. I don’t know how that’s possible, even Fox News hasn’t hidden that, I’m pretty sure.
I came across a person who wondered why people hated Trump. Poor thing must’ve been in a coma under a rock.
sasha barron cohen did a bit on jimmy kimmel where he played borat again and went door to door prior to the midterms and people doubled down saying there is not Russia collusion, nothing has been found, trump isn’t racist, etc. blatant lies to themselves because they don’t’ want to admit they support racism and refuse to acknowledge their own mistake in supporting him so they lie to themselves. it’s pathetic.
Fox does hide it, though! It’s “below the fold” on the website and it doesn’t get any real play until they’ve figured out their right wing spin for it. Then the story makes its rounds.
Right? Didn’t occur to Corsi and Stone not to lie about Seth Rice murder? Cooked up some bogus claim about conspiracy with HRC campaign with Assange. Terrorize parents of murdered child with lies. Those are DT’s Innocents?
Why is Melania’s wardrobe so damn boring? Pricey but so boring.
She has no taste, though I actually like this coat. The boots, though… if Michelle had worn those she would have been called a hooker monkey or some other such disgusting slur.
I like the coat too – but it’s like she gets dressed in the dark. Those boots are hideous.
And she somehow managed to put her arms in the sleeves.
She also appears to be borrowing her husbands orange make-up.
Right? All that bronzer piled on just makes her look harder than usual. I can’t believe how badly she’s ageing! And of course, I laugh at how badly she’s ageing. Her idea of style is pick a color and then dye everything that color. Monotone Barbie.
If she ever showed a genuine, warm smile instead of the guarded, cold-mannequin personality that she projects, she’d be gorgeous. Both of the Obamas have smiles and true warmth that light up a room, and they’re just so beautiful for it.
Screw this guy. I can’t even string together a normal, appropriate response. The vast majority of our province (NS) is in a power outage because apparently the system is so f-cked that a single fail point can cause an outage for essentially every single part of the province. So I’m in rare form as far as the level of anger I’m feeling. And I want to vomit just looking at this disgusting spray tanned pigs face.
I really really really hope they lock this f-er up. And his precious daughter wife too. Otherwise, the inevitable heart attack can’t come to him soon enough.
Yes, clearly he’s been rage-bingeing on the Big Macs as well – looking very bloated.
Have they been giving him a bronzer contour as well? It looks like his cheekbones have been darkened hahahaha.
His eyes are really bloodshot and glassy. Coupled with the bloat, I’d normally say he’s on a drinking binge. But he claims to be a non-drinker. He’s definitely on something though. Lack of sleep? If he’s losing sleep due to his fear and paranoia, I am happy about it.
Actually, he was said to have been very fond of coke (and not the canned kind). And personally, I’d rather he have a stroke, the debilitating kind, where he is aware of EVERYTHING, but can’t do ANYTHING. That, or the orange jumpsuit (though that is my preference).
If that was a real Witch Hunt we’d actually get to burn them in the end, alas this is a modern day investigation where we work with facts and get people thrown in jail in the best case scenario. (No pyre here. Unfortunately, some may say.)
He looks constipated in those photos
Will someone please let this clown know that most of the “Angry Democrats ” are actually Republicans, and Mueller is a life long Republican. These tweets show how panicked Trump really is
Innocent lives = WHITE “CAREER CRIMINALS”
You’re exactly right. Individual-1 doesn’t have sympathy for average people. Just look at the needless deployment of the military to the border as a photo op for the nonthreatening caravan. His comments on that were so indicative – he thinks of people as expendable, but his precious white collar criminals (many of whom have plead guilty) are innocent lambs, because he identifies with them. It’s so twisted.
Trump still thinks he can get away with all this. Not gonna happen. His dirty policies have resulted in the deaths of so many, including storm-ravaged Puerto Ricans and those starving in Yemen. Not to mention all the people he and Putin are having thrown out of windows. Karma is catching up (oh, and so is Mueller!).
This is how innocent people behave, right? I still cannot believe that after two years of this bullshit, he still hasn’t been impeached.
“but how millions of (white) Americans completely abdicated their responsibility as citizens just to protect their own narrowing power structure, and the collective delusions of those same people who believe Trump’s lies.”
I was arguing with some Qanon psycho on Twitter last night and she was insisting that Trump associates himself with all these terrible people not because Trump himself is terrible, but because Trump is trying to save the country from all these swamp creatures like “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” kind of thing. And this was in the context of the Miami Herald expose about Jeffrey Epstein. I’m like “His Labor Secretary literally protected Epstein for years. YEARS.” I even posted the link to the court docs about the case against Trump and Epstein and their rape of a 23 year old and this was her response:
” Ya gotta be kidding me! Some bimbo tries to cash in on $100M, all of a sudden, 6 months before the election. Even a Trump-hater can see right through that. And, threatening her isn’t his style. That’s the style of HRC. Not a very credible source that you linked to!”
F*CKING BANANAS. It’s not “Trump’s style” to make threats? LMAO
And she believes all the other allegations against Epstein except this one because, of course. I just cannot with any of these psychos.
Can’t you SEE?!?! trump is trying to be JESUS! He’s trying to SAVE these people. /s
I mean…it is just straight-up Crazy Town SMDH…
Also ETA: my original post should say 13 year old, not 23 year old. Need coffee.
I think the evil in trump lined up with the evil in so many people. They can twist and manipulate any situation or story so he comes out looking like the hero. trump had sex with Stormy Daniels after his wife gave birth? “He was just being CONSIDERATE! She just gave BIRTH. Her poor lady parts couldn’t handle him! He was thinking of HER COMFORT. You liberals make me SICK always thinking about sex.”
Kitten, the trumper called a 13-year-old “some bimbo”? I know there is no bottom, but I wasn’t prepared for that. I sometimes go down a twitter rabbit hole looking at replies to Individual-1’s insane tweets, but I always beat a quick retreat after a few. It’s too scary.
Off topic, but I really struggle with how to stand up for marginalized people against my family and in-laws. My brother hosted Thanksgiving, and in addition to my dad, who’s fully gone off the Faux deep end, his wife’s family was there. Her parents are white suburban small business owners, so naturally, they vote Republican. They are in Dan Lipinski’s House district (IL), and thus the Republican candidate was a LITERAL ADMITTED NAZI. This is the guy who, seeing that no standard-issue Republican was running (because Lipinski is a Blue Dog Democrat and has reliably held the seat for a while, having inherited it from his dad), ran rather than having Lipinski run unopposed. Her dad didn’t even know the Republican on the ballot was a Nazi! HOW?????? I am not about to start fights with my sister-in-law’s family, but I need to seriously think about how to communicate that voting for racists and those who implicitly endorse racist policies is not OK. Suggestions welcome 🙁
@Sadezilla-Oh man…that’s so hard. I went to my brother and SIL’s for Thanksgiving and my parents and my SIL’s parents were there but thankfully, all of us including my BF hate Trump with a passion. When I recently went to my uncle’s funeral my cousin was wearing my unc’s favorite MAGA hat (my cousin is also a Trump supporter) and it was so awkward. I basically just avoided him the whole time. But it’s so much easier when it’s YOUR family and not an in-law’s family. If my SIL’s parents were huge Trumpsters, I’d probably just avoid talking about politics but that ain’t easy either, considering it permeates every corner of our lives these days.
And yes, this batshit crazy woman called Trump’s victim a bimbo. They are just terrible people, all of them.
Wow. That’s some seriously crazy bullsh*t right there. But I mean, points for originality?? Like Trump is some savior sleeper agent, infiltrating the crazies to protect all of us from them?
The mental gymnastics required to believe in something so incredibly unbelievable while denying the simplest, most obvious explanation that is based on facts must be exhausting.
I read that Miami Herald article yesterday. It was so disturbing, that I couldn’t sleep last night.
It’s super-duper horrible. I knew some of the details but it’s worse than I could have imagined. It’s very hard for me to believe that Bill Clinton did not know about Epstein’s proclivity for young women and it’s hard not to think that he was complicit in his silence.
Can’t the rapture just take all these morons and leave the rest of us be?
Honestly, imagine walking through your life that stupid and deluded. Terrifying look into why so many democracies fail under the right conditions.
I enjoyed watching Jerome Corsi get shredded to confetti by Ari Melber last night. If Corsi’s lips were moving he was lying. I’m beginning to think that what ties this whole band of lunatics together is not being Republicans, it’s being absolute unrepentant liars. Corsi, Stone, Manafort, on up the line to the Liar in Chief, Trump. Mueller is going to enjoy exposing them all, and I hope he sends them all to prison.
I enjoyed that interview, too. He’s telling the truth about this, but yeah, he lied about all that other stuff. And trying to spin knowing the exact date(s) of the e-mail drop simply came to him during a long flight. Yet those lawyers were so mean to him by not believing his stories!
LOL. Michael Cohen just plead guilty. Now we know why Trump’s been freaking out on Twitter.
Oh boy here we go…
I ask this as an anti trumped, but – do we? It’s been two years of bombshells and indictments and breaking news (and that’s without even touching on the wreckage of his policies) and we seem to grind no closer to resolution. I know these things take time, but oh I despair of ever getting there.
On top of the massive raid on Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt over the Panama Papers. Princess Complicit better start getting measured for her new orange jumpsuit.
Maybe she can open a line of jumpsuits manufactured in China. They’d look just like your standard grade jumpsuit, but she’d stick her name on them, the way she does with her other crap.
Why yes. I *have* seen an investigation more in search of a crime. See Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, babies and children are still being kept in cages and being tear gassed at the border, but oh my god! Won’t someone think of the rich, white dudes who are having all their sh*t exposed to the light???
His face looks like it’s melting.
That being said I’m still wondering what kept melanin out of the public eye when she had “surgery”.
Everyone Trump has surrounded himself with are shady crooks. It makes me wonder if Trump has committed more than just financial crimes in his life time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has had people killed that angered him in some way. He seems to have no conscience.
Thousands of people died in Puerto Rico and he didn’t say anything but argue that the number of lives lost was lower than reported.
I truly hate that sub-human. He’s not a man, so I can’t call him one.
