If this were a movie, nobody would believe it...

There's really no good place to begin...

Donald Trump wins an election. Russia is confirmed by intelligence agencies to have worked on behalf of Trump. Trump fires the FBI Director for investigating the "Russia thing". Justice Department appoints Special Counsel Robert Mueller, former FBI Director, to take over the investigation.

Concurrently, a porn star named Stormy Daniels reveals an affair with President Trump which occurred back in 2006, shortly after the birth of Trump's youngest son. Daniels claims she didn't come forward because she was intimidated into signing a $130,000 non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with longtime Trump attorney, Michael Cohen. Former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal also comes forward, alleging an affair with President Trump and also has signed a $150,000 non-disclosure agreement with Michael Cohen. Both Daniels and McDougal unknowingly used the same attorney, Keith Davidson, to sign the NDA.

During the course of Mueller's investigation, he turns over to federal prosecutors potential crimes of Michael Cohen. The FBI raids Michael Cohen's places of business and living. Afterwards, it comes out that Michael Cohen had worked with Keith Davidson AGAIN on a different NDA (3 different NDAs, that we know of), this time a $1.6 million agreement for RNC Deputy Finance Chair, Elliot Brody, who had an affair with a Playmate, impregnated her and had her get an abortion.

But yesterday is the real kicker. After the FBI raid, Michael Cohen went to court to try and prevent federal investigators to search his records, claiming attorney client privilege. Cohen claimed 10 client, but could only show three actual clients. After several hours of Cohen's attorneys basically pleading with the judge not to, the judge ordered Michael Cohen to reveal the name of his third client, which just so happened to be Fox News entertainer, and Trump adviser/cheerleader, Sean Hannity.

Seriously, even the WWE could not have written a more ridiculous story. And they've tried.

No way this could be a movie. A 36-part series, maybe.

Why is this ship sinking so slowly?

Trump's presidency is a fucking farce.

Can we get Elizabeth Warren in for 2020? A Democrat who isn't entirely blinded by optimism or bought out by corporations?

Because half of the country... I don't know. Pick your criticism.

They'll hate her as much or more than Clinton. Give me Biden. He will get down in the mud with a far less intelligent Trump. Biden is also really good at sounding stupid while not actually being stupid, which may win him a battleground state or two.

See, Trump is clearly the better candidate. He didn't sign the NDA and screwed a bunch of good looking blondes, but he didn't have emails about recipes. That makes him better.

There's some new scandal regarding Donald Trump, those close to him, those appointed by him or some combination of all of that almost on a weekly basis.

I don't think Trump is mentally incompetent, I just think that his ego is of such tremendous proportions that he genuinely thought he'd come into the White House, citizens from all walks of life would embrace him without question and he'd govern as if he were a medieval king with limitless power. For instance, Trump just can't go in and overrule court rulings that he doesn't like, he can't force agencies like the FBI and CIA to conduct investigations against his political enemies, he can't force members of congress to go along with the notion that he's some master of the art of the deal, he can't force news organizations to not discuss stories about him that paint him in a negative light, etc. and it absolutely drives him batshit crazy. Trump has been master of his own universe most of his adult life in that he's run his companies and his businesses in exactly the way he's wanted but he's discovered that's not how it works in politics, especially politics on a national level. The POTUS is always going to be influential, there's no mistaking or doubting that, but Trump can't simply just do whatever he wants and that the judgment and motivations of other people within the government, some of whom have political ideologies that oppose his, carry a lot of weight and influence as well.

I think having an ego so large that you can't understand that you're not allowed to be an emperor means that you're mentally incompetent to be POTUS.

I'm sat here high right now wondering how the fuck Donald Trump is POTUS!
