After 'Spy' Briefing Flops, Trump Flips Out

Eric Boehlert

May 27, 2018 3:33 am

Somebody forgot to tell Trump than the GOP’s bigger-than-Watergate “spy” scandal flopped spectacularly on Thursday. Because on Friday he was still flailing around on Twitter, pushing the dopey narrative.

He’s ranting and raving while his own Republican Party has gone quiet regarding its latest failed attempt to cover up for Trump.

Even the GOP’s bumbling Inspector Clouseau, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who’s running interference for the White House on the Russia scandal, has gone strangely quiet in the last 24 hours. (Nunes has a long history of Russia-related flops.)

So instead of quoting Republicans on Friday about the supposed “spy” blockbuster, Trump was reduced to a three-tweet rant in the span of one minute, citing dishonest right-wing writers, still loyally clinging to the hollow tale.

1. It's painful to watch Dirty Donny flop around in his own obvious crapload of lies

...while the republican party submissively remains on its knees, totally caved into their blasphemously pathetic 'god-emperor' - their profoundly ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

Kinda way beyond sad how the values, morals and ethics of republicans have degenerated to this state of ABSOLUTE & OBVIOUS LIES ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

Sad-ass enablers, pissing all over American democracy.

3. He has lied so much that even the die hards in congress are beginning to back off.

With elections coming, they can't continue to lie as blatantly as he does. In fact, they are going to have to start contradicting him because many many people are on to his bullsh*t.
