HEADLINE! - "SLEAZEBAG" SEZ DOUCHEBAG!

9 ( +10 / -1 )

a "sleazebag attorney." 

I suspect Trump uses that term because of Dean's eventual testifying against Nixon, not because of Dean's involvement in the Watergate scandal itself.

Wonder why Trump’s team is so bent to not give the unredacted version.

Ok, so they tried with Cohen a man who lied before Congress and the FBI to save his hide and now this piece of work Dean to testify on God knows why, a man who during Watergate lied to....save his hide. Who are the Dems going to call next, OJ? Jeez, they’re really, really digging deep now. Smh.....bless them.

Good morning everyone. Le's get this started.

Trump has no real substantial retort except to call people names. That should tell you something.

Mr. Dean would seem to have no skin in this game, no axe to grind, and having committed the crime and served the time, would seem to be a good resource person for this type of investigation. 

"sleazebag attorney."

Of course Trump called Dean a sleazebag. Dean refused to lie to protect his boss.

Before Dean spoke to the House Judiciary Committee, Trump took the opportunity on Twitter to slam the former White House counsel under President Richard Nixon as a "sleazebag attorney." Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace in 1974.

Jeez, Donnie is sounding more and more like Nixon. I can see Donnie, alone in the White House, and having a chat with Nixon's portrait....

Trump: Dickie, why, why, - why do this people turn on us and go out and protect the Constitution...

Nixon: Well, Donnie, some people just don't have loyalty, you know, the good old type of loyalty you get from an organized crime family...

Trump: Ain't that the truth - I'm still loyal to all the wiseguys I worked with in NYC...

Nixon: But don't let it get you down - remember to look the American people straight in the eye - and lie like crazy - tell them you're not a crook...but watch out for lightening bolts....

Trump: Good advice, I'm up to over 10,000 lies now so I've got lots of practice...

Nixon: Well go to it - and tell Joe Biden I said hello - he's a real nice fella....

"Democrats are abandoning their duty to confront foreign interference in our elections in favor of drawing out their slanderous campaign against the president," he said.

Hilarious, Douggie, but it's McConnell, not Democrats, who is refusing to vote in favor of strengthening election security. I'm sure that has no connection to Russian firms investing in Kentucky though, right?

"Democrats are abandoning their duty to confront foreign interference in our elections in favor of drawing out their slanderous campaign against the president," he said.

Hmm. So the retreat has started. Doesn't seem like a particularly logical argument, though: if you admit the interference, how can you deny the roles of those who enabled it?

Just look at how many of Trump's close circle (Cohen, Flynn, Manafort, etc.) have been convicted for lying and breaking the law.

The proof is in the pudding.

I imagine only Trumpers wouldn't see the hypocrisy and irony in Trump calling John Dean a "sleazebag lawyer", and Trump having Micheal Cohen as his personal attorney and fixer for 10 years...

Trump has no real substantial retort except to call people names. That should tell you something.

As if the Democrats use kind and flattering language to the President.

Mr. Dean would seem to have no skin in this game, no axe to grind, and having committed the crime and served the time, would seem to be a good resource person for this type of investigation. 

Why?

Of course Trump called Dean a sleazebag. Dean refused to lie to protect his boss.

Hmmmm..Eric Holder lied.....

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the echos of Trump screaming about birtherism.

Can you speak up over his obnoxiousness please?

John Deans official Reply-in-Tweet to Trumps sleaze bag tweet -

"...Would someone get Trump a dog. He needs a friend so he won’t endlessly vent on Twitter. He’s uninterested in government and policy. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t exercise. He has no real friends. A dog might save humankind. Admittedly, it a lot to ask of a dog. But help is needed.

1:29 PM - Jun 9, 2019...."*

Funny.

Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace in 1974.

As will Trump in 2019 - Dickie and Donnie - two crooks of a kind....

Dickie dodged jail, Donnie won't be so lucky....

Maybe If the Democrats would stop screaming and hollerin’ like girlie-men they might get heard.

Dickie dodged jail, Donnie won't be so lucky...

The chances of that ever, ever happening would be like betting Obama would be locked up.

Not until Trump shows his long-form birth certificate proving he’s a legitimate president.

Tricky Dickie = Dimwit Donnie, or should I say "individual -1"...

Talk to the people that elected him and Congress to draw up the papers and ask Nadler if he wants to waste even more time chasing another rabbit. I mean, it’s not like the guy is really busy. Lol

Not until Trump shows his long-form birth certificate proving he’s a legitimate president.

Absolutely, I mean he says his father was born in Germany - he must have been too. COVER-UP! He's an illegitimate President - force him to prove he's a native-born citizen.

Then find out his links to Uranium-One - there's no doubt involvement by the Trump Org.

Then ask what Don Jr and Eric were doing when Fast and Furious was going on - I hear reliable sources say they were profiting from the sale of guns to Mexican cartels...

Then find out the links between the Trump Org and the security contractors involved in the Bengahzi attacks - follow the money...

Finally, it's very possible the Trump Org was involved with the company managing Hillary's private e-mail server - subpoena the records...get to the truth...

Nope, I want Trump to do it. He needs to prove he is not half organgutan - as we all know, simians are not eligible for the presidency. He is an illegitimate president, look at him, his orange complexity clearly shows he is half orangutan.

Of course he's a "sleaze bag" in Donnie's eyes -- he tells the truth and does not praise Trump.

He won’t. Oh, well...

Absolutely, I mean he says his father was born in Germany - he must have been too. COVER-UP! He's an illegitimate President - force him to prove he's a native-born citizen. 

Liberals are inventive, give you that.

FFinally, it's very possible the Trump Org was involved with the company managing Hillary's private e-mail server - subpoena the records...get to the truth...

ROFL! Anything else?

No, the man lied to save his own skin, I mean, who are the Dems going to drag out next in their feeble hopes and desperation to try in vain again to get this President? Martha Stewart?

Another loss for our failed businessman.

Dean defended himself well against the yapping republicans who feel stupidity is a gateway to loyalty.

Huh?

Ok and? Like Cohen, this hilarious, but odd desperate and failed spectacle is supposed to prove what?

Maybe he's just getting tips from her on "life behind the wall"....

Or what a idiot Mueller truly is.

Who can the Dems drag out next? Well, how about Tillertson, or Mattis, or Kelly, or McMaster, or Cohn, or any other of the "best" who now think Trump is the "worst"...

So now they colluded with the Russians? But yeah, invite these men, let’s watch the Democrats sink further down the drain, I’m up for it.

Yep, it's Tuesday, Mueller is an idiot, tomorrow he fully exonerated Trump...a daily flip-flop...just as you admitted to...

If they colluded with the Russians then the only one in the Trump circle that didn't was Barron.

Glad you're up for Donnie being described as a moron, an idiot, and someone with the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader... I'm up for that too....
