Trump is so crazy that he has to have a lawyer go around behind him saying, “That’s not what he meant.  What he really meant to say is ….”

This morning, Trump’s apologist trainer guide dog writ twit lawyer Ty Cobb issued the following statement.

In response to media speculation and related questions being posed to the Administration, the White House yet again confirms that the President is not considering or discussing the firing of the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.

Oh, I dunno if “speculation” is the right word.  I mean, spending the weekend trashing the guy on Twitter might be an indication that Trump is priming for a fight he can’t win.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Trump has an interpreter.  I just wish his interpreter spoke Trumpese.

Last week with great fanfare, the Republicans gleefully announced that House Intelligence Committee was ending its probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and that it had “found no evidence” of the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians.  Congressional Dems howled, calling foul and saying that the committee concluded no such thing.  Trump, of course, took to Twitter gloating that he was completely vindicated.

Today, on Meet the Press, Mike Conaway, who chaired the committee after Devin Nunes was forced out, clarified the committee Republicans conclusion – they found no evidence of collusion because…wait for it…they didn’t look.  That’s right, Conaway got on national television and defended his conclusion that there was no evidence of collusion because they didn’t bother to look for it.

House Republicans are blatantly lying to the American people to give cover to Trump.  The longer this goes on, the more I’m convinced that this is going to end really badly.

Oh my.  Trump is so dumb that you can pull a slow one on him.

Lookie right here.

– U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) today extended an offer of employment to Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, so that he can reach the needed length of service after President Trump fired him just days before he was set to retire.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Chaos.  Absolute chaos.  Just this week:

• Trump threatens porn star Stormy Daniels with $20 million in damage claims and petitions to move the local case to federal court.
• Trump fires Tillerson and will replace with loyalist Mike Pompeo, now infesting the CIA.
• Pompeo will be replaced by CIA black site torturer, Gina Haspel.
• McMaster is likely to be fired any day.
• Kelley is still on the chopping block.
• Larry Kudlow, Trump loyalist and CNBC loudmouth, is Trump’s new economic advisor.
• John Bolton, Fox News talker and little angry man with an angrier mustache, is said to be Trump’s new national security advisor.
• Out of the blue, Donald Trump, Jr. announced an uncontested divorce from wife of 12 years, Vanessa.
• Deputy FBI director, Andrew McCabe, is fired two days before his pension is to become vested.

So, in all this chaos, what in the hell is going on?  First, Trump thrives on chaos and loves the drama he stirs up in the press.  He loves to piss people off.  He’s maintaining his trashy reality show personality by continuously firing people or threatening to fire people or demanding someone be fired for something.  That’s clear.  But, what else is going on?  Who knows, but what’s apparent is that the Trumps are prepping for the coming trials.

His Orangeness is sweeping the administration of professionals who may not be absolute loyalists.  He’s installing people who possess the primary qualification of being Trumpist first, and actually qualified for the job second.  He’s preparing to stonewall Mueller’s probe at all costs, and will fill WH vacancies with those (like Kudlow) who won’t cooperate with anyone outside Trump’s inner circle.   He’s also working hard to discredit the FBI generally, Comey and McAbe specifically because they will both be witnesses against him.

Lastly, I believe that the Donald Jr. divorce is nothing but a dodge to help protect some of his assets when he’s charged, and likely convicted of any number of offenses like colluding with the Russians to lying to investigators.  Nothing else makes any sense.

The Reality Television Show administration continues.

Jimmy Kimble of late night fame went and bought a mess of stuff at the Trump Sons’ store.

Come to find out, most of it wasn’t made in America, like the MAGA people preach.  In fact, two of the items did not have a country of origin listed.  Which is a problem.

Kimmel said such an omission could lead to potential fines of up to $500,000 if it turns out these products were made overseas.

“This could be very expensive,” Kimmel said. “Not to mention embarrassing. Are they even capable of shame? I mean Trump’s whole platform is about American companies, his company isn’t even supporting America!”

And Kimmel has a way to fix it.

“I’ll just file an official complaint and let them sort it out,” he said to cheers.

You know, if we could sell Republican hypocrites for a dime a dollar, we could build that damn wall.

Thanks to chloe bear for the heads up.
