You know Ive been wondering when Trump would fire Mueller over this investigation, it just seemed out of character for him NOT to do it yet, well now I know why! The New York Times has reported that Trump ordered for Mueller to be fired back in June but backed down when his White House counsel threaten to quit.

Damn he got so close to hitting Nixon bingo.

I fucking love the Guggenheim!

The emailed response from the Guggenheim’s chief curator to the White House was polite but firm: The museum could not accommodate a request to borrow a painting by Vincent van Gogh for President and Melania Trump’s private living quarters.

Instead, wrote the curator, Nancy Spector, another piece was available, one that was nothing like “Landscape With Snow,” the 1888 van Gogh rendering of a man in a black hat walking along a path in Arles, France, with his dog.

The curator’s alternative: an 18-karat, fully functioning, solid gold toilet — an interactive work titled “America” that critics have described as pointed satire aimed at the excess of wealth in this country.

When I heard that story, I hoped that the toilet was more "semi-functioning". I think the criticism would be suited to the toilet clogging up, not flushing, and flooding the exhibit with shit, occasionally.

In other news, it's possible that Mueller thinks Don T obstructed justice.

Trump has decided it's a good idea to go after Jay-Z

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... bug-racism

Jones than asked the rapper about Trump’s claim, made repeatedly on Twitter, to have dropped African American unemployment to record lows.

“Does he have a point,” Jones asked, “that maybe the Democrats have been giving us good lip service, but no jobs. He may say terrible things, but putting money in our pockets. Does that make him a good leader?”

Jay Z answered: “No, because it’s not about money at the end of the day … money doesn’t equate to happiness. It doesn’t. That’s missing the whole point. You treat people like human beings … that’s the main point.”

On Sunday morning, the president tweeted: “Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!”


Welp, aside from him picking two black guys, and implying Jay-Z isn't aware of the record low unemployment rate (if you watch the interview, it's quite apparent they both know, and it's not the point) , there's the rate over the past decades.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS14000006

The last major increase started in 2008. It starts heading down later in 2011, and keeps going down. It generally follows the civilian unemployment rate, though tends to be is always higher (last measured at 6.8 and 4.1, respectively).

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRA ... categories

Maybe instead of bragging about the result of a trend which started 7 years ago, Trump could compare total unemployment and black unemployment, and ponder if he could do anything to close that gap.

Here's a story about how the gap was closer than ever back in June, 2017:

http://www.businessinsider.com/black-wh ... gap-2017-7

At least he didn't go for the angle about black unemployment under slavery... so, there's that.

You know what would be really stupid, is if you were to try to prosecute the guy heading the special council about you, good thing no one can be THAT stupid am I right. To be fair, this would be totally be better then just firing him, if you don't think about it.

I really wanna doubt that he collided with Russia but dude is making super hard to believe his innocence.

I can imagine Trump trying to shut down the investigation even he's innocent, just because he cannot tolerate any slight, or because everyone told him that he shouldn't.

What the hell?

Did I suddenly get switched to one of those weird alternate realities?

Trump hasn't gone all Trump in days.

*pinches the air*

It feels convincingly like the reality I was in before the State of the Union, yet... something is a bit off.

*checks Trump's twitter*

Thank you for all of the nice compliments and reviews on the State of the Union speech. 45.6 million people watched, the highest number in history. @FoxNews beat every other Network, for the first time ever, with 11.7 million people tuning in. Delivered from the heart!


Wow. Whatever they did to him to prep for the SOTU seems to be sticking.

Surely, a happier, calmer Trump will be maintained when this fugue state wears-off.

He's lying though. Viewership wasn't the highest in history, very far from it. Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton all gave State of the Union speeches with higher viewership.

Yeah, sure, a lie, but a lie that is a retread of previous lies; a lie without much, if any, effort. It's the sort of lie one might expect at the beginning of a long series of ever-increasing lies, not in the midst of twisting the very reality of facts and logic asunder. It's a throw-away lie, at this point.

Does Trump not care about his people enough to put real effort behind big, giant, huge, alternate-untruths anymore?

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

*hyperventilates*



Ohhh, sweet, sweet, Sean.

You mean like how Clinton lowered the moral bar of America? Does White Water ring a bell!?

But, seriously. The bar is so low he managed to make people nostalgic for Bush Jr. You know, wasted thousands of lives and trillions on lies Bush. How do you do that?
