I wonder if Trump's surrogates and other sundry supporters will finally realize that the more they try to cover for Trump's foibles and fallacious musings the more they look like the fool who they're attempting to defend.

It gets to the point where Trump's well stocked staff of spinmeisters are now telling us not to believe our own ears but instead we must believe the bullshit they're piling on the bullshit that came out of Trump's ass.

Don't they realize that when they cover Trump's bullshit with their own it just makes the pile get a whole lot higher and much more gag inducing?

There's already zero credibility and zero legitimacy with Trump's presidency after all of his broken promises and lies got exposed from day one of his tenure. I can't possibly see how Trump's surrogates can cover for Trump for the long run, unless Trump has some kind of epic epiphany and comes clean, which seems just as incredulous as his being what our POTUS is supposed to at the least appear be.

It seems that there's too much self-inflicted damage done to his reputation and character that he can recover from it, not that he'd care to it seems.

We know thanks to scientific proof that conservatives are more prone to rationalize than liberals are. Trump is a tremendous embarrassment to the nation and it is, I believe, by being embarrassed and humiliated as children in particular that was used to create conservative conformist kids. It is no wonder then that conservatives grow up embarrassment averse and skilled at deflecting it.

typical republican governance: fuck up all the shit and bitch and complain when democrats are elected back into office to fix their bullshit. spend the time blaming democrats for their own failure, force their minority asses back into office through gerrymandering, then break everything again. Run off into the sunset with bags of money, giggling while the country burns. Blame democrats.

look at the simple minds around here that constantly defend this. 4 to 5 decades of this exact same cycle, over and over again, and these fools still haven't learned.

A guy could make a killing selling that on E-Bay. ;)
Crap, I know someone sitting on about 30k of embroidery machines sitting idle. Makes a nice patch. It's amazing what some husbands will buy to keep their wives happy.

It was amusing watching him tell the media it was their fault for having a tendency to take what Trump says literally. The guy made a very specific pointed charge and stipulated that it was, in fact, a fact. How the F do you NOT take that literally?

I been thinking a lot recently how the American Revolution was very much a reaction to being ruled by Mad King George and the toadies that administered the colonies in his name. In a way we've come full circle back to that era.

Back on point, for Nunes to say anything remotely critical of Trump is totally out of character. Remember this is the guy that has been dragging his heels as much as possible on the Russian investigation-having frequently publicly stated his conclusion there is nothing there (before he even starts the investigation) while wanting to go whole hog on the leaks investigation. Nunes' loyalty is 100% to GOP control, the country be damned. He's one step above Trump in my opinion.

I wonder if the is response is intended to protect Trump during an investigation. "He didn't know enough to say something which was incorrect". I'd have like to have heard about Cthulhu bring immigrants into the US instead and certainly by the reasoning used in egregious claims that would be OK too.

If any laws were broken (and that's a big "if" until we know more), ignorance of the law does not excuse you from punishment under the law.

Now, aside from any legal matters, is anyone going to believe that Trump isn't knowingly spouting false crap?
