My Favorite Trump Quote So Far This Week
Okay, this wins at least the day, if not the week.
Yeah, who is that? Sits around with a pocket calculator. You know who I’m talking about. The guy. Probably has a compass and a ruler, too. His job description is “does that kind of thing.” Hummm … you know, the doer of thing. Thing doer. Yeah, that’s it. Has a calculator and kinda does thing.
This reminded me that Alex Jones and my baby boy were in the New York Times this weekend, where we learned that Trump talks just like Jones. The New York Times did an editorial mentioning my boy in a very flattering manner. In that editorial, they included a clip of Jones talking just like Trump – doing an end-run around the truth.
It’s my boy’s favorite clip from the deposition because over the six months he’s had this case, he has learned to do a spot-on imitation of Jones. In this clip, you will see my boy accidentally slip into his Jones imitation for just a few seconds. At about 1:30, “Hummm… that guy’s paramilitary.”
In case you were wondering, my boy isn’t getting a big head over this. It’s still his job to clean all the dog poop out of the backyard before the Easter Egg hunt. And Alex Jones was particularly angry over this column. On his show, he said, “The New York Times tries to make him out to be Matlock, but he’s not. He’s what would happen if you mixed Gollum with a lawyer.” I wonder if Alex Jones owns a mirror?
It’s all talk. Just talk.
If ever anyone needs a vivid description of what “deer in the headlights” look means, take a look at this video. If looks could admit guilt, he does.
1Sounds a little too much like:
“I’ve got a guy, you know, who takes care of this kind of thing.”
2You don’t get acco!ades for doing the right thing; you get accolades for doing the right thing very well.
Accolades, JJ and Li’l Bubba. Accolades.
3The guy…him. That makes shit up. Isn’t it great to be able to quote yourself?
4I mean, geeze! He said something. So you should damn well believe it… {/s}
5Tom Hauser works for the local Fox affiliate. They’re not too bad.
6First I think Congress has a moral imperative to pursue impeachment.
7One question, who’s answer seems to be an obvious NO to me but the law sometimes turns the obvious on it’s head.
If impeachment is passed in the House but Senate thuglicans betray their oaths, and the constitution, by not convicting would the demented one have any claim of double jeopardy from prosecution after he is booted out of office?
I know it sounds absurd but with his lawyers claiming asking the russians to spy on the D’s was in the public interest we have entered bizarro world so must ask.
Well, at least red don didn’t say that the mythical guy residing in his empty head was wearing a yarmulke, which is his previously-stated preferred style of accountant.
8That was worth the click and viewing. Deer in headlights, indeed! And thanks for the heads up on the “Hmmm…that guy’s paramilitary”…fantastic, Mark!
9We know he has a problem remembering names. Just ask Tim Apple. In an administration where people come and go like game show contestants, anyone would have trouble. I’ll bet you’d get the same confused stare if you asked him to identify Rex Tillerson or Sean Spicer.
