Trump accuses Comey of lying under oath, which is a felony

Weeeell, I guess he realized he could do that anyway.

Conjures an image of a reel to reel tape, cut with a razor blade and spliced together with scotch tape and a lot of stray orange synthetic hair and the smell of old man sweat.

Congress gave the White House two weeks to turn over any tapes, so at least now we know how long we’ll have to wait for the next contemptuous non-answer.

Crazy movie? Is it the one where, just before Trump takes the stand, someone yells, “Release The Kraken”?

Trump accuses Comey of lying under oath, which is a felony

Wait, what? Does this headline mean:

  1. Lying under oath is a felony
  2. Accusing someone is a felony
  3. Both

This could be a great twist if Trump just enlists some vanilla techie for the edit job, if he doesn’t watch CSI or any of that stuff and realize that audio experts can spot a doctored recording.

Of course, six months ago I was imagining this crazy movie where Trump becomes President. . . all I can say is the previews didn’t do the movie justice.

The fucking balls on this guy.
He really just can’t help himself.

Is this how he got so far? He just doubles down and doubles down until its just not worth it for the other guy to continue?

Trump also offered to testify under oath.
Apparently, Oath is the name of a Russian hooker.

Yup. Just imagine him as the angry little chihuahua up against the actual big and strong dog, who doesn’t quite know how to deal with such an aggro little nutbag. Works for most of them most of the time. Occasionally one runs into a big dog that’s not so confused and demotivated to fight. Then it gets really ugly for the little orange tiny handed dog… I mean “chihuahua”.

A Simpsons parody of A Few Good Men, I think.

that’s just like Papal Infallibility … except,of course, the Pope is wrong about climate change and immigrants.

Trump is now saying that he didn’t ask Comey to drop the investigation and demand loyalty. I mean, I can’t believe anyone would be credulous enough to believe Trump on these points, except, apparently, his hard-core supporters who inexplicably still think he fired Comey over the Clinton email investigation.

That keeps getting said, but I don’t think it’s true.

Putin doesn’t just support random chaos monkeys, regardless of ideology; he specifically supports the extreme right. Farage, Le Pen, Trump, etc.

The left gets a bit of support from RT etc, but the serious propaganda/espionage push seems focussed on promoting the far right.

Interesting videtorial.

The support RT gives the left is generally the type that erodes confidence in the electoral process in general and the neoliberal opposition in general. It is done with a specific objective in mind.

Yup.

I’m not saying that Putin has no interest in discrediting democratic institutions. But I don’t think that it is the entire goal; there appears to be a significant effort to specifically promote the extreme right.
