Many people believe donald‘s an evil genius, wags the dog, creates news to cover news, etc.
Those people are wrong.
He’s a ball in a pinball machine bouncing off the bumpers, being paddled. Doesn’t matter what the ball wants the ball can’t be in control, can’t be strategic.
trump’s problems are of his own making: calling intel agencies Nazis, accusing Obama of wiretapping, firing Comey. All unforced errors.
Conflict‘s in his DNA but he doesn’t get the difference btwn bullying vulnerable tenants & contractors, and opponents in his weight class.
Here’s what’s going on right now concurrent with the severe Mueller developments: Refusing to allow the CIA Director to brief the full Senate.
Only a White House stacked w incompetent imbeciles oblivious to Congress’s red lines would be too cute by half and so antagonistic.
I’ve sat in on at least three All-Senate / All-House briefings. When they’re convened it’s to address something of bipartisan concern. Otherwise everyone wouldn’t be there. So by definition it’s tense. Plus, then don’t like being assembled like school kids. It’s a tinderbox.
Members of Congress have a high threshold for indignity. But telling them they can’t have what they ALL want is sheer stupidity. Pompeo’s shit-eating grin all but said the CIA Director wasn’t part of the Khashoggi brfg bc it would make it impossible for him & Mattis to lie.
trump’s weeks away from a House ready to do its job. He and his cohorts think they know what‘s coming - but they don’t know what they don’t know.
Will 20 Republicans abandon him to convict? No. That’s not the point. He needs every bit of GOP establishment support there is.
He never suffers any consequences. But ppl who’ve given their lives to him are learning they’re not as lucky. His family, his staff, his associates are all in jeopardy. No, he doesn’t care about them individually. But he’s entering a phase of group panic across his community.
These cretins hate each other in the best of times. Imagine their survival instincts in the worst of times when losing musical chairs = prison.
Only a stark raving mad fool would create a circular firing squad rather than circle the wagons.
donald‘s a stark raving mad fool
In short: Busted
It’s getting lost he also said if Pompeo & Mattis were Dems he’d be “all over them” for misleading the Senate last week. But as Republicans they’re just being “good soldiers” for trump.
