1. It's not Obama's fault? He'll likely twit that later. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

Odd weeks are 'blame Hillary' weeks.

4. I gotta get that in my calendar!!!

3. Is that the nothingburger meeting that never happened?

It's really hard to track whether Trump and his supporters think this so-called meeting ever happened; if it did, was it really so wrong; nothing happened at the meeting, so how could anything wrong have been done; nobody was at the meeting; okay, there were a few people at the meeting; all right, a few more; it wasn't about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton; when it was, but it wasn't it was about adoption; no, it wasn't about sanctions, we said adoptions; no, nobody left anything in the room; it wasn't a spy, it was a Russian intelligence official, but we didn't know it; yeah, it was a spy or two, but so what?

Always served with lies.

5. What Was Chelsea's Little Girl Doing On June 9

Should she have put down her dolls and trucks to stop that meeting?

6. Oh good, piss off the only group you haven't pissed off yet

and the ones tasked with protection. Good plan.

7. Is blaming the secret service really the strategy they want to go with. I would reconsider that. Nt

14. Yep. They might decide to go out boozing until the wee hours before guard duty, IYKWIM:

"Nine of the twenty-eight Secret Service men who were in Dallas with the president the day he died had been out in local clubs until the early hours of the morning—in one case until five a.m.

Three of the Secret Service agents riding a few feet from the president in the follow-up car had been, by their own accounts, up very late and drinking, an activity prohibited in the Secret Service rulebook."

8. pretty soon they will run out of entities to blame. This is so ridiculous! No words.

11. No they will never run out of people to blame

There are 190 countires on the world, jundreds of government agencies, thousands of Democratic politicians and tens of thousands 400-lb hackers in basements, so they have a huge supply of blamees. In facted, being a Trump blamee is one of the fastest growing professions in the world, 2nd only to Trump lawyers.

9. Not the Secret Service's job nt

[Laf.La.Dem.]

10. When will this clown (Trump) start with his -

Presidential Pardons - family members, friends, himself

[WinkyDink]

13. "Stop me before I commit treason again!"

[ProudLib72]

15. Secret service says

"Oh yeah, Donald? You want to see what doing a shitty job really means?"

[riderinthestorm]

16. Just read an interesting observation that Don Jr didn't have SS protection at that time

So Sekulow may have inadvertently outed the 8th person at the meeting as Trump Sr...

17. We never ever talked to any Russians; and it was only a very short conversation;

and anyway --- why didn't Obama stop us from committing our crimes?

[mfcorey1]

18. OOooooooh, he is barking up the wrong tree now! Secret service will......

[Ms. Toad]

19. Like they stopped the Bush daughters?

Who - if memory serves me correctly - were out engaging in underage drinking with Secret Service in tow.

They are there to protect against outside threats - not bad parenting or personal responsibility . . .

On the other hand, I have no objection if they want to step in when Trump goes for the nuclear codes.

20. If Obama had been bugging the Trump Tower they all would have been arrested last summer.
