All in favor of nicknaming the Trump-Russia scandal "Covfefe", say "Aye."

I mean, it's a bigger scandal than Watergate, so using the "-gate" suffix would just be a disservice at this point.

"Children, turn to page 358 in your history book. We're going to learn about the Covfefe scandal today."

People forget in 2005 Comrade Trump planned a Trump Towers in New Orleans, announcing it with much fanfare and media coverage. But after Hurricane Katrina hit, he, as Randy Newman put it, said "Little fat man isn't it a shame? What the river has done to this poor cracker's land. Louisiana..."

And we never heard of Trump again until every idiot in Louisiana surrounding New Orleans replaced Jesus with a new savior.

BTW I thought covfefe was Russian for having 2 women pee on each
other as Trump watches and plays w/his "little Donny."

Popped into my head. Covfefe, covfiev, sounds Russian to me.
But then, I don't speak Russian.
