The more I think about this, the weirder it is. It's getting so hard to tell what's ridiculous conspiracy theory and what's legit conspiracy.

I've been wondering all evening if this document was intended to provide cover to Comey for throwing the election to Trump. Then I'm like "Claire, have a glass of wine and watch a romcom because you are losing it," and then I think, "But how is that any weirder than the actual extent of Russian infiltration into the GOP?"

And then I have to have a lot of wine anyway.

That's what I saw. And what I saw next was a sulky-arrogant scowl and bully-boy gesture when another NATO leader (apparently) remonstrated with him. We cannot say he behaves consistently like a pig. That, as O. Henry said, would mean that "an undeserving stigma was cast upon the noble family of swine."

But Trump hates Comey. He fired him. Oh wait, I see what you mean. Could it be double cover? The suspense is killing me.

No, it's perfect - it's hard to discern from that angle, but Macron has positioned his hand so that if Drumpf tenses his fingers in an attempt to take control of the shake, Macron can then tighten his grip and crush lil' Donnie's knuckles together...it can be quite painful and yet almost invisible to the casual bystander if properly executed.

To be fair, the story I heard was that he developed a crush on her when he was in school, his parents sent him away to another school to let the hormones settle and she respected that, but then they got back together a couple of years later - it's pretty weird, but it's not like she went all Mary Kay Letourneau on him.I think Drumpf basically buying a wife twenty years his junior is WAY creepier than that, at least Macron and his wife seem to love each other.

No, not fired. Arrested (by the Justice Department) for violating the Hatch Act.

No chance - Putin would never trust Trump not to stick himself with it.

If they accidentally pushed in front of someone or did so without really thinking. This was no accident on Trump's part.

Yay. But moral cowards, as we've all found out, tend to enable said sociopaths more than they help others.
