Are you doing tryouts to replace Colbert’s old Conservative satire show?

Cartoon President does a much better job.

Edit to ad:

Trump is tweeting about Alec Baldwin. The man is oblivious.

Now that the crimes and collusion of the deep and not so deep Clintonite state are being investigated snowflakes like Boot revert to weak projection to deflect the spotlight. The Clintonites were so arrogant and self assured that they would never have to answer for the crimes committed by their top leadership and facilitated by the Clintonite DS that they didn't cover their slime trail. As the deep state swamp critters are draged from their stagnent pools of corruption the corrupt Clintonite leadership can't hide from their foul deeds.

The Deep State conspiracy

Boot again waxing ideological in another WaPo op-ed today: Trump vs. Mueller is a battle for America’s soul

I appreciate Boot's emphasis on the modality of the "outrage artist".
Just keep using purple until the color runs out.

This is actually very helpful

This is actually very helpful as Max identifies the media entities that have attacked him. Helps with figuring out who is on what side of the split, then see what policies each support editorially. Because following Trump as a supposed leader on any one thing leads to a lot of fool's errands, is not efficient, one is left with trying to interpret which Trump spew is getting the most enthusiastic cheers and which is getting shrugs or "say what?" This gives an inaccurate reading as to what different powers are trying to effect in Congress and even in having influence over cabinet members.

I was struck the other day seeing this how deluded we get feeding the troll, even Fox News might be disagreeing that Trump spew is where everyone is at, if they would only get a backbone:

Trump bulldozed a Fox News host, showing again why he likes phone interviews analysis by Collum Borchers @ WaPo:

[....] At other times, Pirro's camera showed her, mouth agape, trying to get in a word but unable to halt the monologuing president. Had Trump been seated across from Pirro or in a studio with a monitor, he might have noticed that his interviewer wanted to chime in. But he was on the phone and, even if he were watching the show on TV, could not see Pirro in real time because of a slight delay — and, therefore, did not have to take the hint [....]

I was thinking reading that: the Koch Bros. probably don't even bother to follow what he says anymore, are paying attention to McConnell and Ryan, Rebekah Mercer just wrote an op-ed recently basically disavowing bothTrump speak and Bannon/Breitbart wing, etc.
