Ted Lieu on Trump's desire to read "the perfect transcript" in a "fireside chat on live TV"

Ted Lieu
@tedlieu
Let's be clear. If @realDonaldTrump
does this, he is sending the message that there is nothing wrong with the US President soliciting foreign interference in our elections, and that he will do it again unless he is removed.

This doesn't give the House much choice, does it?

"At some point, I’m going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it. When you read it, it’s a straight call.”

@realDonaldTrump mulls reading transcript on TV.

1. Well, give him credit..........

he's finally willing to let some of the requested material be seen by the public!


Oh, yeah, it'll probably come out just after "they are finished auditing his taxes" and he releases them.

[brush]

8. No he's not. The memo he released left out many minutes of conversation. But he's so dense...

he thinks what was included exonerates him–INCLUDING THE PART WHERE HE ASKS FOR DIRT ON BIDEN.

2. dayum

how many times was he dropped on his head as a baby?

who's gonna read it for him?
🤔

15. have you ever noticed that

when he reads, he reads in a monotone?

Maybe that's the plan--to put us all to sleep, yet still be able to say "I read it to you."

3. I'm pretty sure that orange POS would melt if he was anywhere near a fire

yup

[gab13by13]

4. How about reading the entire transcript?

[Jim__]

5. And, of course, we would all trust that Donald Trump was actually reading the full transcript.

He'd probably even include the passages where he spoke about his commitment to do his utmost to serve the American people.

6. Donald Trump hasn't got even a small clue. Who to believe? Trump or "The Others"?

..Tough call?...Not really. The show that Trump is pretty bad, and he doesn't have a clue.

7. I don't want to hear your version of the "transcript", you bloated, fucking asshole.

I want to hear the actual call. Anyone who thinks your version of the call is what really happened is an even bigger moron than you. Take your "fireside chat" and shove it up your fat, lying ass.

[NJCher]

16. thank you

for summarizing my feelings precisely.

[mr_lebowski]

17. +2 hey ASSHOLE we already know you had the ACTUAL CALL

RECORDING transferred to a top-secret NSA server to cover your OVERSIZED ASS ...

HOW ABOUT YOU PLAY THE FUCKING RECORDING IN ENTIRETY so the people can hear the ACTUAL TRUTH, you lying POS?

9. A fireside chat with Ivanka on his lap

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. and First Melons glowering behind the chair

[NJCher]

14. she makes the place so cozy

when she does that glowering thing.

Who even needs a fireplace?

[Tanuki]

11. And the heroic Belgian Malinois curled up at his feet.

[Traildogbob]

12. Wow!

Can he read🤔

[TygrBright]

13. "#FloridaMan brags about criminal behavior in live national television broadcast"

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
