Jimmy Kimmel lives rent-free in their heads

A lot more people know about what Kimmel said about Melania last week than would have otherwise only because Melania took the bait.

 

MELANIA: FIRE JIMMY KIMMEL...  

FCC launches review of Disney broadcast licenses years ahead of schedule

... Trump revived his push for ABC to take Kimmel off the air after the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” referred to First Lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow” during the show last week, days ahead of an alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. ... 

They're going to have to put the whole country in jail

 James Comey charged with threatening Trump’s life in ‘8647’ seashell post

 ... Trump had accused Comey of “calling for the assassination of the president” by sharing the image of the numbers in the May 15 post. ... Around four months later, however, he was indicted in Virginia on [SOMETHING ELSE!] one count each of making a false statement to Congress and obstruction. ...

 



Here we go again, plunging into more stupidity


 

 Trump Administration Secures New Indictment Against Comey

The new case stems from a photograph of seashells on a North Carolina beach.

... The charge stems from an incident nearly a year ago, when Mr. Comey, vacationing on the North Carolina coast, posted a photograph on social media showing seashells arranged to say “86 47,” combining the slang term “86” often used to mean dismiss or remove with an apparent reference to Mr. Trump, the country’s 47th president. ...

When Mr. Comey learned of the uproar, he deleted the post, saying that he did not know that it had a violent connotation and that he opposed violence of any kind. The Secret Service interviewed him by phone that evening, and Mr. Comey said he had no intent to cause the president harm. The next day, he sat for an in-person interview. The Justice Department eventually dropped the matter, but it was revived in recent months. ...

 

Fetterman is still not right in the head



 Fetterman's recent history of saying some reasonable things makes people on the right treat him like he's some oracle now.

But another lunatic tries to shoot Trump and suddenly America is on the hook for a new ballroom, which wouldn't be necessary AT ALL if Mad King Ludwig hadn't torn down the East Wing in the first place?

I don't think so, pal. Not when Trump promised it would be funded entirely from private donations.
