Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!

6:10 AM - 9 Jun 2017

[Tripper11]

1. How?

How in the world does the Orange Shitgibbon see Comey's testimony as vindication?
I must have been watching a different hearing.
Continually stunning.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. After almost 4 hours of testimony

I was wondering how he would manufacture a coherent 140 characters.... It's pretty weak sauce in this case!

[luvMIdog]

2. he's talking to his not so smart base & going to try and make it seem like Comey was leaking

classified info. Complete and total vindication ??

[BumRushDaShow]

4. He is relying on his incompetent "personal lawyer"

in order to create the false narrative and talking points.

[luvMIdog]

5. yep ;)

[WinkyDink]

31. Absolutely. "Pay me to lie to you and for you, and I'll give you your money's worth."

[BumRushDaShow]

36. The question is though - will he actually get paid?

[WinkyDink]

52. ZING!!

[muriel_volestrangler]

57. Trump's personal lawyer ...

[BumRushDaShow]

63. Maybe he'll have a revelation

Nah....

[spiderpig]

58. Let's not pick on Drumpty's Manhattan lawyer, gang.

He's at least as competent as Drumpty's Manhattan physician!

[BumRushDaShow]

72. I thought they were the same person?

With the "doctor" in a wig and fake beard/moustache?

[spiderpig]

75. Master of Disguise!

Check out their letterheads. Are they in the same building?

[BumRushDaShow]

76. LOL

They don't have to be... For tax purposes ya know.

[helpisontheway]

6. Oh Comey is a liar but he completely vindicated me. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

8. !!!!!

Cherry-picking fool.

[Vinca]

7. The idiot awakens. It's a bizarre, orange-colored Frankenstein monster.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. He's losing his crunch

[Vinca]

14. ROFL.

[Docreed2003]

27. Lmfao...my day is complete

I've now see the Orange Shitgibbon in a cheeto and on toast! All praise to the Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!

[Zoonart]

41. HAHAHAHAHAH that's great

[Wawannabe]

53. Brilliant

That's Cheeto alright!

[WinkyDink]

54. Hahahaha! Perfect!

[Sugar Smack]

59. Beautiful!

"He's losing his crunch"

[nikibatts]

9. When your attorney has to lie on your behalf to millions of voters you know you are in trouble.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Kasowitz didn't just lie

He lied in spectacular fashion with a statement full of spelling errors.

[Hortensis]

10. Apparently "leaker" has become the worst he can say about anyone.

Makes sense for a very thin-skinned man with absolutely no moral code, but how long before his trumpsters start follow his lead by yammering "lock him up" about anyone he calls a "leaker?

[BumRushDaShow]

15. That's all the GOP has left to deflect

To complain about "leakers" rather than condemn the behavior of the person who is at the center of the controversy.

All the Drumpf surrogates were whining about Comey rather than admit what Drumpf did was illegal and unethical.

[Hortensis]

19. Sure, BUT the GOP leadership won't protect him an instant

longer than they need in order to keep power, unless of course they felt they could use him a bit longer for something at that point.

Rump is not and never has been one of them. They include the huge powers back in the shadows and, I feel we have good reason to suspect, the ex- Director of the FBI. Among active conspirators may also be one or more on SCOTUS who were involved in eliminating voting rights protections; the excuse that they were no longer needed was ridiculous on its face and disproved literally starting immediately.

They played the cards they had to take power away from the Democrats -- large scale voter suppression, Trump's populist movement, Russian efforts to get rid of the Democratic threat to Putin's ambitions, and mass media swiftboating.

So they won and now are dealing with the problems Rump presents them. But Rump's power comes entirely from the fools who elected him and will last only until they can be persuaded to turn their backs on him.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. One of the things to keep in mind

is that some of that "sweeping legislation" that the GOP wants (using the orange robot to merely sign it), has had and will continue to have difficulty getting enacted due to the closeness of the Senate. The Senate managed to shove some horrible department heads in and of course Goursuch (when Turtle changed the threshold), but for general legislation, they will be ham-stringed.

Makes you wonder if they may bail on him sooner in favor of Pence, who might be able to sweet talk legislation through the Senate.

[Hortensis]

24. Yes. Likely that, extreme as Pence is, compared to Rump

a President Pence would be acceptable to both the strong-conservative and extreme-conservative factions in Congress, which are currently warring, and to both the religious and economic extremist factions outside.

Pence is both a social and economic extremist, though, and I believe a classic authoritarian follower. If it happens, it'll be "interesting" to see if the realities of being in power moderate him or make him worse. From what I read it was the latter in Iowa, where he betrayed his campaign promises for relative moderation.

My best guess is that he's already made his deals and that the powers behind him will protect him from possibly going down with Rump, but who knows for sure? Ryan's next in line -- an economic extremist's wet dream for the presidency without the religious zealotry.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. They have already been firewalling Pence

but ultimately, he would end up in a position like Cheeto Boner. Forced to corral the disparate factions of their party and ultimately be considered yet another "RINO" by their most extreme base.

[winstars]

17. Leaker? Why is he still talking about those Russian hookers??

[BumRushDaShow]

20. That's the only thing that has him worried

It would be hilarious if the "hookers" being referenced as kompromat weren't Russian (but were some other Eastern European) but were with him in Russia, technically making his denial "true".

[Maeve]

30. He really shouldn't use that word--it conjures images from the Steele Dossier!

Or am I just channeling a bit of Beavus & Butthead? Dude, he said "leaker" What a pissant...

[BumRushDaShow]

51. No he WAS referencing that

because he added the thing about how he "knows" they "record" in Russia. Comey seemed to indicate that Drumpf seemed more agitated about the dossier than anything else.

[winstars]

60. I think we were making a joke about words tRump shouldn't use...

[BumRushDaShow]

64. And we know he is guaranteed to do so anyway.

Understood.

[Scurrilous]

12. LOL

Total and complete liar says what?

[BumRushDaShow]

16. He thinks everything that Comey said was a lie

except to vindicate him.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. L O'Donnell trolled him so hard on his show

at the beginning to release his pent up anger and tweet. It was classic.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. I had the show on my radio (SiriusXM)

but unfortunately fell asleep near the end of Rachel.

[imanamerican63]

23. Maybe Comey leaked his story?

But Trump has more leaks in his own house that he should be worried about? Comey was a private citizen and you told him go ahead and leak things out, because you tweeted that he had better hope there was no tapes. Hey Donnie, where are to those tapes? What moron and only getting worse by the second!

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Many experts are arguing

that what Comey did regarding some of his memos, was not technically a "leak". He had a "friend" provide copies of his own meeting notes to the press. The critical classified info notes were sent to Mueller.

Dems should continue to push their GOP committee chairs to subpoena the "tapes" (which probably don't exist).

[Mr. Ected]

28. I consider every single tweet to be a leak from the White House

And so does the White House staff, Congress, and most of the American people.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. He arrogantly admitted to giving Russia classified info in a tweet

62. Who let Eddie Munster in the Oval Office?

[BumRushDaShow]

66. He's definitely a dead ringer for the SOTH

But then I saw him here -



with a dead ringer of someone we know -

[LOL Lib]

69. OMFG!

You are killing me. People outside my office would think I'm nuts if they heard my laughter!




Good stuff! Thanks for the funny!

[BumRushDaShow]

71. The Boris Johnson thing

is hilarious. I forgot that meme had been out there. Seems the man disappeared off the face of the earth.

[BSdetect]

29. So where are those tapes?

[BumRushDaShow]

40. I keep chuckling about

whether such a system would actually use a "tape" versus a file server with a digital recording.

[Docreed2003]

32. And here I thought Twitler loved "leakers"...I mean golden showers and all...

[BumRushDaShow]

39. He didn't deny the golden showers

Just the "Russian hookers" part.

[Nevernose]

45. They were "performance artists"

The rest of us plebeians just can't understand his high brow tastes.

[BumRushDaShow]

49. LOL

5 star! The best. Bigly. Covfefe.

[Docreed2003]

48. Lmao...true!

I suppose those upstanding ladies were employed by Mother Russia! (Part of the welcoming committee)

[BumRushDaShow]

50. "'Cultural' Ambassadors"

@realDonaldTrump

Great reporting by @foxandfriends and so many others. Thank you!
6:54 AM - 9 Jun 2017

[CozyMystery]

35. What about the closed session with Comey re classified information (1 pm yesterday)?

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during that.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. The potential "3rd undisclosed meeting of Sessions w/Kislyak" came out of that

as a leak to the media.

[wishstar]

38. Where are the tapes? The coward won't answer truthfully, let along testify under oath

Comey, top law enforcement official, has sworn under oath upon penalty of perjury, but Trump thinks his incompetent lawyer and nutty tweets are more believable. Sadly, Trump is right that his millions of supporters are willing to drink his Koolaid of lies, follow him off a cliff.

[BumRushDaShow]

42. I keep yelling

to put him under oath.

But see... they would never do it and if they did, he probably would resign.

[NightWatcher]

43. Then maybe trump should offer to testify in open hearings under oath

I'll be holding my breath

[BumRushDaShow]

44. That's what I keep saying

Raise that hand and bring those tapes!

[bdamomma]

46. this man is truly delusional

he thinks he is vindicated. WTF??? Raw Story article below.

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/trump-breaks-his-twitter-silence-on-comey-false-statements-and-lies-total-and-complete-vindication/

[BumRushDaShow]

47. Thanks for the link

I knew his account went silent all yesterday but didn't realize it was for almost 48 hours total.

HE swore he would "live tweet" the hearing and I know that his lawyers probably went ballistic.

[spiderpig]

61. Brian Willliams pointed out that if Drumpty went Twitter-free until 0613 today

he would set a personal record since launching his campaign.

Check time stamp.

[BumRushDaShow]

65. Melania was supposed to "officially move in" yesterday

so I am wondering if she had something to do with it.... although some articles claimed that his staff tried to keep him busy all day yesterday.

[maryellen99]

68. Rumor is that he was tweeting from his sons account yesterday nt

[BumRushDaShow]

70. I did see something on DU about Jr tweeting

Which was unusual.... Ha!

[janx]

73. Here is your answer:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/us/politics/trump-speech-faith-freedom-coalition.html?smid=tw-share&_r=2

[BumRushDaShow]

77. Yeah - I thought I had seen something about it

In fact, I saw a blip I think on MJ this morning, showing Cruz at that yesterday too....

Just found out why they showed that Cruz blip - he was interrupted mid-speech and had to slink off the stage!

Thank you for the memory jog!

[muriel_volestrangler]

56. "It's just a flesh wound ..." (nt)

[BumRushDaShow]

67. That's about to get infected.

[lpbk2713]

74. If there are "so many" false statements and lies then it is not an anamoly.

There must be some substance to "so many" reports.

[BumRushDaShow]

78. Drumpf's modus operandi

is to call everything "fake" until he cherry-picks stuff that he agrees with.

"Everything" is a lie except he was "vindicated".
