Yep, he's certifiably batshit insane.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

I'm sure he had some help writing this, but even so...yikes.

[ScratchCat]

1. I laughed so hard at the first sentence

that I couldn't even finish it

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. This letter begs for an overly dramatic reading on a late night show.

The only question is, who should read it?

[LonePirate]

5. Ian McKellan

[MFM008]

8. Anthony Hopkins

[LonePirate]

11. Better yet, Hillary Clinton

[UTUSN]

17. Yes!1

[MFM008]

120. your right

why didnt I think of that....

[Mike 03]

28. With "MacArthur Park" playing in the background.

[malaise]

58. You win the thread

Someone sure left the cake out in the rain

[CatWoman]

91. LOL

[malaise]

94. That song brings back hilarious memories

of carefree nights filled with laughter and stoned friends offering philosophical guidance about those lyrics

[The_Counsel]

43. Paul Ruebens

Come on, folks...we're not going to get a SERIOUS actor to do this reading, are we?

Is Carrot Top still available?

[kedrys]

75. Gilbert Gottfried

Barring that, why not Alec Baldwin?

[First Speaker]

79. You win the thread!

[First Speaker]

84. Think about it--official Presidential documents will include Lincoln's Second Inaugural...

...and this. I've reached the point of not knowing what the hell to say anymore. I've passed black humor, irony, rage, fear for the republic, passed everything. God help us.

[joost5]

88. The font should have been in COMIC SANS

[DENVERPOPS]

129. Amen FS

WASF

Even to this day, many people I talk to are completely oblivious, (as they have been for decades) to what is going on, and they have no thoughts of where this is gonna end.

I would, over the years, lightly ask my customers: So have you decided on who you're gonna vote for? I figured with only a couple of weeks remaining until the election, they would most certainly know.........

I was often appalled at what they said: I guess I need to watch some campaign ads and decide pretty quick here.........

Holy Crap, most of these people held college degrees............Campaign ads are usually total lies and 180 degrees from how the candidate truly feels, and the last thing a sane person would use to decide.

Some I would tell: I usually have followed every candidates political life for years and certainly examine their voting record to help me make a decision......That is true whether they are Dem or Repub. There are alot of DINO's out there and alot of Dems get sucked into voting for them because of the D after their name.

There are a lot of Repubs that want to impersonate a Dem, but I haven't seen a Dem wanting to impersonate a Repub, EVER....LOL

[Eliot Rosewater]

104. Gilbert would do it justice.

Do you listen to his and Frank's podcast?

[kedrys]

109. Thank you for the link!

I'll check it out.

[volstork]

13. If only

Alan Rickman were still with us....

[dewsgirl]

18. ....😔

[Dem2theMax]

66. If only.

I absolutely adored that man.

[Sloumeau]

83. I didn't adore him in "Die Hard"...

...instead...I kind of wanted to push him off a building.

[Dem2theMax]

115. OK, I'll give you that one.

I watched Sense and Sensibility a few days ago. It was probably my 20th viewing. Don't tell me you weren't crazy about him in that movie!

[Habibi]

99. Benedict Cumberbatch does an impression of Rickman.

Maybe Benedict could read the letter as Alan Rickman!

[ThoughtCriminal]

35. Mark Hamill's Joker

Okay, Hillary!

[Ginger42]

70. William Shatner

As a companion piece to his reading of one of Sarah Palin's word salads as beat poetry.

[lastlib]

72. I nominate John Cleese.

Because it deserves a truly *"serious"* reading!!

Yes, he is Bat-shit. F***ing. Crazy. Goebbels at his most drug-addled.

It takes some SCARY bad chemicals to do that to a mind, even one as feeble as his.

[Volaris]

74. Sam Jackson lol.

[2naSalit]

93. John Lithgow is pretty good...nt

[skypilot]

95. Jimmy Kimmel...

...is probably on it as we speak.

[jmowreader]

131. Samuel L. Jackson. No question.

[Pachamama]

16. The last sentence is good too: "One Hundred years from now, when people look back at this affair...

[ScratchCat]

20. I could literally go through line by line

or at least paragraph by paragraph and compose an entire comedy routine

[The_Counsel]

29. The Second Sentence Is a Real Knee-Slapper as Well.

Seriously...what's the Speaker supposed to do with that letter? Wipe her ass?

[Pachamama]

37. What a great idea - have the letter printed on rolls of toilet paper!

I just recently was at a house for a dinner party and they had toilet paper with Trump’s face on it...

This would be a great addition to toilet paper rolls....

Best use for it...

[Eyeball_Kid]

92. I still have half a roll left from 2016. I'm saving the rest for Trumpy's demise. n/t

[Disaffected]

56. It competes with

"It was a dark and stormy night (when I was impeached)".

[usaf-vet]

97. I call BS he didn't write this letter. It continues his whining and oft repeated lies.

Seven pages he can't string together a seven-word coherent sentence.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

106. He almost certainly dictated it, or told his minions which insane talking points

he wanted included. No professional government employee ever writes like that. None of the minions would have written that pile of dreck without Trump's direct input.

[TexasBushwhacker]

116. I think he had help from Stephen Miller

Way too many words with more than 2 syllables.

unfettered
egregious
disingenuous

I would love for a reporter to ask him what those words mean.

[gratuitous]

3. You want to talk to the House, Donald?

Waddle on up to Capitol Hill, get sworn, and give your testimony under oath. Otherwise, your self-serving lies are of no consequence to the proceedings.

[Gothmog]

4. Denial is not just a river in Africa

[MFM008]

6. And some were saying

Impeachment didnt bother him at all...........

[ScratchCat]

7. Ok, I lied, I finished it

It gets funnier as he strays completely off by page 2

[Pachamama]

9. This letter is insane....

[DENVERPOPS]

130. As these assholes Mantra,

I suggest:

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

[louis-t]

10. Reeks of desperation.

He probably sweated through an undershirt while "writing" it.

[ScratchCat]

14. The only thing left

is for him to demand that Barr arrest them all if they wont cancel the impeachment vote

[Mr.Bill]

55. Actually that would not surprise me.

And it would not surprise me if Barr did it.

[rickford66]

12. Signed "Sincerely Yours"

Now that's funny

[MineralMan]

15. I wonder who wrote that.

Wasn't Trump.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. I think it was a mixture...

....between Trump's lawyer du jour (not Rudy, but the other guy, what's his name), Stephen Miller, and Trump sticking in his own comments via sharpie marker.

[MineralMan]

25. I think you're right.

A truly loyal staff, however, would never have let something like that get out. Crazyville.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

44. it reads like a committee of asskissers wrote it

[SergeStorms]

96. Absolutely.

Trump jotted down (in Sharpie) some bullet points he wanted covered. His phrases, his pet words are all there, but he didn't compose one word of that psychotic screed.

[yardwork]

123. I agree. A group project.

[Caliman73]

21. No but he was there..

In the background shouting, "Oh, oh put this in....(some crazy nonsense) " and "Ooh that's a good one, yeah put that down" to the craziest phrases in that piece of crap.

How his people allowed that to be sent at all is ridiculous. When you look at Presidential Correspondence and speeches over the span of US history, Trump has to be the most illiterate stupid sounding person in government.

[ScratchCat]

23. Its just a rehash

of nonsensical talking points with a whole bunch of "I know you are but what am I?" thrown in for good measure.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

107. I disagree. It's absolutely Trump's style.

He did not sit down at a computer and write it out, but he told his minions which talking points he wanted. He was expressing his grievances with the help of his WH minions. I can guarantee that a lawyer did not write it.

[dalton99a]

22. That was some weird shit

[SharonAnn]

32. That's funny. It's just "weird shit" and "yada, yada, yada"

[Hekate]

112. Dubya was right on point about that, wasn't he?

(For those who missed it -- after apocalyptic Trump's Inaugural Address, George W. Bush turned to Hillary and said sotto voce: "That was some weird shit.&quot

[handmade34]

24. merely

a compilation of tweets (written by who knows?)

[Brainfodder]

26. Lying must be what keeps him alive?

Final answer?

[RobertDevereaux]

54. If lying is what keeps him alive...

Then we all need to redouble and redouble again our demand that he quit lying!

[Mme. Defarge]

27. His signature is making me rethink my opinion

that handwriting analysis is junk science.

[samnsara]

30. guess they should have sent someone to the hearings...too bad so sad..

[Newest Reality]

31. There are too many...

There are too many words with too many syllables and some concepts that appear to be beyond his grasp, so I will go with a ghost writer listening to him blabbering what to say and then editing it or trying to make it somewhat comprehensible within the context.

However, there certainly is some odd humor in there and that may be from the disconnect.

[Baked Potato]

33. Stephen Miller, Minister of Propaganda

[underpants]

34. 👀 six whole pages

I doubt it.

[Ilsa]

36. I believe Pelosi does pray for trump and his presidency.

He's just too small a man to believe that anyone could rise, spiritually, above pettiness. You don't get to tell people what they feel or what they privately pray for.

[Green Line]

38. Who's going to tell him

What happened to the witches that were found guilty?

[Dem2theMax]

69. .

[rzemanfl]

101. Gotta wash socks. BBL. n/t

[Pepsidog]

39. You know he never even read it. Zero chance he read it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

111. I promise you that he *did* read it. It's a lot of pages for him, but

it's absolutely his style, and there is no doubt in my mind that he dictated most of it and made sure he was sticking it to that evil witch Nancy Pelosi.

[Pepsidog]

114. Thanks. I'm intrigued. Now I guess I will have to read it myself. Ugh!!

[smirkymonkey]

40. Well. That was pretty fucked up.

It sounded like Trump's usual whining, but it was too long and there were too many 50 cent words in there for it to be 100% his own handiwork. How pathetic!

[Ingersollman]

41. Something

is wrong with my lower jaw. It slammed to the floor and I can't get it back up. WTF kind of shit is this? Is this something from The Onion? Surely the POTUS doesn't claim this?

[superpatriotman]

42. Jesus Christ!

There is some dangerous language in there.

Our republic could be in peril.

Not hyperbole.

[The Blue Flower]

45. If you have a case, send in your witnesses

Tell your story to the people. Stop obstructing.

[vishnura]

48. A few hours to go. Resign you SOB.

I did not know that he can string two sentences together.
You started it man, by taking money from the Russkies,
we the "do nothing democrats" will end it.
Bye , bye, looser!

[lpbk2713]

49. He certainly is.

But no one in his family cares enough about the asshole to have him committed for observation.

[VOX]

50. Best response: "It's like 100 tweets stitched together."

Indeed it is!

[bigbrother05]

51. I don't think that word means what he thinks it means

We all know he's historically and legally incurious/inept. Clearly he has no clue about the Constitution, just that his lawyers all agree he's right regardless of any drivel he spouts.

The only "true" sentence is the first one and that's because it's his opinion. Everything he says is demonstrably false, a corruption of the truth, or outright projection of his own crimes and fears. His internal conversation must be like Robin Williams debating Jonathan Winters on crack.

[Silent3]

52. It's a weird mix of typically Trumpian blather...

...and 3-4 syllable words that must have been added by someone else doing a bit of editing.

[SeattleVet]

53. This has got to be his way of getting "25th Amendment-ed" out of there.

The thing reads like a conglomeration of a huge selection of his past Twitter feed, all wrapped up in single, yet large, nut-filled treat for anyone wanting to press the case for removal from office due to his fast-deteriorating mental state.

His ego won't allow him to resign - it would be *too* much like Nixon, but this would give his cabinet a way to save a little of their reputations, since this is not anything personally to do with him, but a medical condition that requires his removal.

I can imagine one of the few remaining sane adult staffers or advisors encouraging him to put this screed onto paper so they can finally rid the country of him in a last-ditch effort to save the GOP from total decimation in the upcoming elections.

[Karadeniz]

57. As he drags the office of the President down into the swamp that is his mind....

[TruckFump]

59. Crappy letter and mega crappy typist skills

Where the hell are the headers?

[Still In Wisconsin]

60. I think you meant "Mega crappy Typist Skills." n/t

[Wednesdays]

61. Well, if he had help writing it, he's not the only insane one!

He has a lot of like-minded folks in his fold!

[bitterross]

62. Sounds more like Stephen Miller wording.

I suspect Trump's favorite racist helped with this. The first paragraph alone was enough to determine Trump didn't write that letter. He probably insisted on some edits but he didn't write it.

Sounds like stuff Miller would write.

[cp]

63. Holy crap!

This letter IS a record of his psychological unfitness. It's a clear record of how his mind works, how he blames others for his crimes, and how he is taking the entire Republican party down with him. It perfectly illustrates his projection of his own crimes, misdeeds, and false victimhood onto others. Poor widdle bully! Actually, the ravings of our Organized Crime Boss.
Ugh.

[crickets]

118. +1

[TheCowsCameHome]

64. Anything written below the date is clearly not of his doing.

He is such a jerk.

[lunatica]

65. Whatever

Yadayadayadayada... and furthermore, yadayadayada...

His whining is so boring now that I can’t believe he ever held anyone in thrall.

[bubbazero]

67. the real question is?

How will his MAGA hat wearing, logically challenged, cult-like worshipers, RESPOND. The explanation over the call to Zelensky, along with his releasing a "summary transcript" may be just enough mana to keep their herd together. SAD!

[Aussie105]

68. I'm not reading it . . .

Not today, anyway.

My sanity meter is already hovering dangerously close to the red zone as it is.

[LudwigPastorius]

71. That letter proves his case with geometric logic.

[Dem2theMax]

73. To steal one of my favorite lines from old black-and-white movies,

That's a bunch of hooey!

[James48]

76. Ah! But the Strawberries!

That’s where I had them! There HAD to be another key!

[trof]

77. Written by Stephen Miller and dictated to and edited by William Barr.

😎

[cwydro]

78. He's never used the word "unfettered" in his life.

And that’s just the first page...

[tblue37]

80. It needs to be said:

"So ridiculous. Trump must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Trump, Chill!”

[James48]

85. Lol!

Can we add this as evidence in the Senate trial?

Or do you think this should be a straight 25th Amendment case?

[avebury]

81. I will have to wait until I get home to read it

but is there anything in it that could be used against him in an impeachment trial?

[James48]

87. ALL of it!

Needs to be a 25th Anendment removal immediately. He’s getting much worse.

[Enoki33]

82. Others in the WH must surely be embarrassed by all the

nonsensical BS. Yep, he is certifiably insane.

[Boomerproud]

110. Cultists are incapable of shame.

[Talitha]

86. It could be used as the script for his next 'perfect' rally.

[coti]

89. The human mind is capable of some incredible feats of dissonance.

Don't let it bother you.

[burrowowl]

124. But is it a human mind

or

[Gothmog]

90. Neal Katyal-Trump letter boomerangs, actually explains why he must testify in Senate.

Link to tweet

[BlancheSplanchnik]

100. Yeesh.

Scumbag, makes me puke.

[John Fante]

102. No way did shit-for-brains write that. No way did shit-for-brains read it either.

Gump has the attention span of a wet fart, so I doubt he sat patiently while someone read it to him.

[grumpyduck]

103. Who the hell did they get to write this?

The writing style is fine, but the obvious ignorance is really scary.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

108. Trump dictated it and his minions cleaned up the grammar a bit.

But it still includes Trump's semi-literate weird capitalizations.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

105. He's nucking futs.

He can't have physically written the letter since the words are spelled correctly (although some of his weird capitalization habits are present). But I have no doubt that he dictated it and then reviewed it to be sure his minions included all of his perfect words. The letter sounds like something written by an angry teenager whose girlfriend dumped him and now he's telling her how terrible and mean she is and he never really loved her anyhow.

[spanone]

113. K&R...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[kentuck]

117. Sounds like he is trying to intimidate the Speaker??

[colorado_ufo]

119. The term "election-nullification" gives it away.

This letter smells of Kellyanne Conway. She likes to use these cheap little rhymes that she thinks will stick in people's heads and that way make her point over and over again.

[lamp_shade]

121. I choose Peter Griffin to slow-read it.

[Cha]

122. trulmp is too chickenshit to talk

the House in person.. so he cowers behind an insane letter.

[MerryBlooms]

125. I read that three butt sniffers and the crook in chief took three days to write that

rambling nonsense. Same ones involved in writing our foreign and domestic policy... FUBAR

[malthaussen]

126. "Batshit insane" isn't a clinical term...

... but it ought to be.

-- Mal

[ProfessorPlum]

127. "Democrat Lawmakers". right in the first paragraph

they ought to impeach him for that alone

[ProfessorPlum]

128. It wasn't a "transcript" you maniac

release the real transcript, then we can talk

[orleans]

132. great thread n/t
