I can see him sneaking down the halls to the briefing room and just bellowing out "NO COLLUSION" with a fine big mac spit

He's also tweeting (just a few hours ago) that collusion with Russia was very real, but it was Hillary and the Democrats that did it. Says "we should demand a full investigation."
Okay.

It would all just be so utterly ridiculous and comical if it wasn't the POTUS who was doing/saying these things, and it didn't have such horrible implications for the future of this country.

Mine would have told her doc that yes and that he kicks puppies, is responsible for TRU shutting down and is a horrible person I'm not sure why she thinks its his fault that TRU closed but I just roll with it.

If I didn't have to pump, I'd be using my lunch break to go watch the Broadway protest at the WH today. Sigh. Same. I wish we could make it, but my 5 year old doesn't handle crowds and noise well.

That conversation with the doctor reminded me of a comment my five year old daughter made recently. We were talking about hurricanes and how it's such a big storm you sometimes have to leave your house to stay safe. She said "If a hurricane hits Donald Trump's house he should stay home."

I hope our pediatrician never asks my kid about the president. My DD knows him as the bad red (e.g., republican) man. During the election she called HRC the blue lady. 😬

@heartbot - to me anyway, it's the continuance of trying to push it as something "normal." The "this is politics" angle that's making the media and everyone else react this way. Because LOL no. I know why he is saying it, but it doesn't change the wtf factor. And it's absolutely astounding to me, no matter how many times he says it, that a President of the United States willingly goes on Twitter and admits that his son did this - especially since the story has now changed more times than I can remember, proving he has lied to the American people.
Like the audacity to lie in plain sight like this, act like conspiracy against your country is NBD (but then also say kneeling during the anthem unpatriotic and you should leave this country if you do), it will never not make me lose my everloving shit.
Also, I think the media is also reacting this way because of all the rumors going around that Mueller's team will be releasing part of their report before midterms. If there was ever a time for Trump not to be talking about that meeting (or Russia), it's right now. But LOL to him ever following advice from decent lawyers and shutting the fuck up. Basically he's fanning the flames all on his own.

I'm really confused by all this *GASP!* TRUMP ADMITTED COLLUSION! stuff. Like...we already knew they colluded? We had it in writing last summer. Fredo posted the email thread to twitter himself. We also knew, via Trump's lawyers, that Trump dictated at least one of the lying bullshit statements denying Jr, Kushner, and Manafort attended a meeting to get dirt. We picked apart the full guest list within a week. We know the Russians involved. This all came out last summer. There is literally no new information here. Trump is just repeating what we've already known for over a year and various statements released by official Trump reps for various reasons. Why is it being pushed as some brand new admission? I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality or something. The gaslighting is real, only in this case, I don't even think it's the Trumps doing it. I know we've all known but now he's admitted to knowing. Which could make him a co-conspirator.

Also I remember Pink's Dear Mr. President from the bush years - which now seems like NBD.
