WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The special counsel’s office has obtained Donald J. Trump’s long-suppressed SAT scores, Robert Mueller confirmed on Thursday.

After the SAT results were retrieved, a forensics lab examined the microscopic scores and positively identified them as Trump’s, the special counsel explained.

Mueller said that he did not seek Trump’s SAT scores because he thought that they would have any bearing on his investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. “My team has been putting in long hours and working very, very hard,” he said. “I just thought they deserved a good laugh.”

Although he refused to divulge Trump’s exact SAT scores, Mueller hinted that they did reflect well on Trump in one respect. “From these SATs, it’s evident that he did not cheat off anyone else’s paper,” he said.
 
Cohen emphatically denying he ever wanted a job at the WH is going to come back and bite him and the House committee in the ass. Apparently there is video of him telling Cuomo in 2017 that he would "100%" accept a job if offered.

I mean, it's laughable. They want to have a hearing on that and subpoena him again over it. f*** republicans. Hypocrite mother f***ers.

Sure its laughable since no GOP committee member is questioning the validity of any of his other claims bc deep down they know its true about Trump. However they see a chance to discredit all his testimony for the fact he really did want a job at the WH. It should have been a non issue and he should have said "Sure! Who doens't want a job at the WH?" It wouldn't have cost him anything. Maybe he was right and the news cycle got it wrong(or maybe they were being spoon fed leaks)? Maybe he was joking with everybody that he wanted to be COS? Or maybe he realized early on that giving up attorney/client privilege was just going to get him into more trouble at the time? I don't know.

He was very adamant about it. Not sure why he lied that hard if he was lying.

And while this is disgusting in the extreme, at the exact same point in time we have an administration who is defending the murderous regime in North Korea (forget Otto?) and more to this point, the murder in Saudi Arabia of a journalist working for a goddamned American newspaper, who has children that are American citizens.
 
Holy Jesus Christ. This is the ramblings of an insane individual. It’s insane. This happened at cpac.

It was raining. And it was wet, and the grass was wet. And women and men, and I consider them totally equal so I’m not going to say it’s harder—in fact it’s probably, with the men I know, it’s actually easier for the women to make the walk. But they had to walk all the way down. They had to walk in high heels in many cases. They had to walk all the way down to the Washington Monument and then back. And I looked and I made a speech, and I said, before I got on, I said to the people that were sitting next to me, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this. Look at that crowd.’ And it was wide! Wide! We had a crowd—I’ve never seen a thing like it. And I have to live—I have to live with ‘crowd size.’ It is all a phony deal, folks. But I saw a picture just the other night of practically no people. It was taken hours before our great day. That was a great day for us. That was a great, great day. People came from all over. People came from all over. So, ‘Sir, it doesn’t matter. Nobody cares.’ I said, ‘But I care. And people care. People care.’

Is there something in people that is responsive to this? Sort of like how some people are more susceptible to hypnosis?

Of course, some people apparently cannot be hypnotised at all and can't grasp how another person is 'under the spell'.

It's the typical "they" are lying to you, "believe in me, I'm with the High Command" nonsense that never works except with the QAnon / 9/11 conspiracy / anti-vaxxer / birther / science denier crowds. If you've spent long enough being conditioned to blindly accept the notion that calling something liberal makes it false and saying something bad about liberals automatically makes everything you say true leads to a very underdeveloped critical thinking muscle.

While the guy is bats*** insane, I will give Rand Paul credit for being a little more consistent than a lot of the GOP members. He's already said he's going to vote for the resolution on disapproval of the national emergency because, get this, he actually apparently believes what he says about the Constitution. Thom Tillis (one of the other R's in the Senate saying they'll vote against it) said pretty much the same thing. It's really a sad state of affairs that "conservatism" really in this day and age is just "hating whoever Faux tells you to hate" rather than having principles.
 


Amazing how the champions of "freedom of speech" rely so heavily on NDAs to restrict speech they don't like. Like Trump, at CPAC, threating to withhold research grants from universities that don't promote "free speech" while at the same time having had *EVERYONE* in his campaign sign NDAs. Of course, they also hate government intrusion into business, unless it's to call for regulating how Twitter/Facebook treat "conservatives" - but somehow don't seem to apply the same standards to Faux.
 
Only a sucker accepts the first Amendment offered. Sometimes you just have to walk away.
