No. 280: Trump Denies Collusion (Again!)

Trump has dismissed investigations into Russian interference in the US election – and potential collusion between Trump aides and Moscow – as a partisan exercise. 

— Guardian: NSA chief: Trump 'has not ordered disruption of Russia election meddling'

Okay. Times up. Game over. Enough.

I am sick and tired of this Russia stuff.

The idea that Team Trump ever colluded

must be, from now on, forever excluded.

Maybe Junior and Jared

met with some Russians.

Those talks, if they happened,

were friendly discussions

on topics of mutual interest, you see.

That's not collusion. That's synergy.

NYT: Trump Jr. Says He Wanted Russian Dirt to Determine Clinton’s ‘Fitness’ for Office (Paywall)

Donald Trump Jr. told Senate investigators on Thursday that he set up a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer because he was intrigued that she might have damaging information about Hillary Clinton, saying it was important to learn about Mrs. Clinton’s “fitness” to be president.

Opening statement from Crown Prince Donald J. Trump, Jr.:

Mr. Chairman, let me dispel your confusion,
I never engaged in any collusion.
That time I met with a roomful of Russians?
I never dreamed there could be repercussions.
Hence dispense with the pillory.
All I wanted was dirt on Hillary,
something to cast doubt on her fitness
that's the God's honest truth, as Jared's my witness.
It is so rude to think I'd collude
I only was helping Uncle Vlad to intrude
to assure dad became president.
Your insinuations I deeply resent.
I did not with Russians co-ordinate.
I simply ate what they put on my plate.
My email reply did say "I love it."
I can't deny it. (But you can go shove it!)
Why must I suffer this partisan rancor?
How come no one, EV-ER, questions Ivanka?

NASA: 2017 Total Eclipse Of The Sun

On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun.

As mansplain of Junior's Moscow hook-up unzips

could we be facing (finally) the Trumpocolypse?

Will Daddy have NASA make this son eclipse?

Mr. Trump jr., one question?

I don't mean to be cute,

but when you say "acquaintance" 

do you mean prostitute?

(I know, I know...it was all for fun

and after all, like father, like son?)
