Some particularly insane tweets from "President" Trump

Man, how about those tweets yesterday?

Trump's tweet about Stone touched off a debate in legal circles, with several experts, including attorney George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and often a strident critic of the president, taking issue with the president's comment.

Conway tweeted: "File under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512" — sections of U.S. code dealing with witness tampering and obstruction of justice.

Neal Katyal, acting solicitor general under President Barack Obama, tweeted Conway was "right."

In response, Eric Trump made a hilarious attempt to play the feminist card:

Of all the ugliness in politics, the utter disrespect George Conway shows toward his wife, her career, place of work, and everything she has fought SO hard to achieve, might top them all. @KellyannePolls is great person and frankly his actions are horrible.

As opposed to the deep respect that Donald Trump has shown toward his wives. If you asked Eric about the payoffs to Karen MacDougal and Stormy Daniels, he would probably respond: "Dad was trying to keep those affairs secret. Out of respect."

If you scroll down the tweeted responses to Eric, you'll find some gems:

I will take sobriety advice from Rush Limbaugh before I take marital advice from a member of the Trump family

Did he call her horseface?

Did George Conway step out on his mother-of-5 wife for a Celebrity Apprentice actress who described their bathroom liaison in "Spanx for the Memories" & then did he leave his wife & 5 children to ostentatiously take up with a former Fox News host? Oh that was @DonaldJTrumpJr

A related question: Are there any sexual harassment lawsuits against Conway? I don't think so.

George Conway is a right-wing creep who, unlike many other right-wing creeps, retains some residual respect for the law. He is obviously trying to send his wife an important message: There's a lot of really illegal shit going on. Get the hell out of there while you can.

When will Trump fans get the message? Conway was a True Believer, yet Trump managed to alienate him. Obviously, the orange oaf really is guilty -- of obstruction, of corruption, of treason, of an entire life lived as a criminal enterprise.

Trump's messages have been those of an old-school mob boss: "You run-a you mouth, you lose-a you teeth. You keep-a you trap shut, you get-a da money."

Of course this is obstruction, clear and undisguised, as brazen as an erection, as unashamed as Aphrodite running naked across the meadows of Arcadia. Why is there debate about the matter on cable teevee? It's like debating whether iron is metallic. It's like debating the wetness of water. It's like asking "Was The Last Jedi a disappointment?"

Trump gets away with this, and will continue to get away with it, because he is protected. He controls the Justice Department. He controls the Supreme Court. He controls America's spooks and has the aid of Russia's spooks -- and Israel's spooks, and some of the UK's spooks. He controls much of the media. He controls much of the debate online. He controls much of Congress, thanks to money, kompromat and election-rigging. He is backed by obscene wealth. (The wealth of others, not his own.) He is backed by an international fascist movement which has no morals and no scruples. He is backed by an unthinking horde of poorly-educated, conspiracy-crazed rubes.

There will be major developments in the Mueller case shortly, probably before the day is out. I do not predict good things. (Hey, it's me.) The world will soon learn what I've known for a while: That Flynn never turned, and that he's been feeding garbage to Mueller.

But we can take some hope in the Cohen revelations: See the video embedded above.

Another tweet from Der Donald. I'm a big fan of misplaced quotation marks. I love 'em almost as much as I love signs written by people who don't know when to use the possessive apostrophe. ("ET's go home!")

As part of his ongoing witness tampering campaign, Trump has gifted us with a classic example:

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

When he put "President Trump" in quotation marks, he admitted that he's not an actual president.

I'll let you in on a secret. I've never used the phrase President Trump.

I usually call him "Trump" or "Donnie" or the Orange Oaf -- and occasionally something ruder. At times, I refer to him as the President, although in his case, I prefer to spell that word with a small p. But I have avoided the phrase President Trump as my way of protesting his illegitimate election.

However, Trump's brilliant tweet has caused me to rethink this approach. He has shown me the way. From time to time, I will henceforward refer to the man as "President" Trump.

So why did "President" Trump put guts in quotation marks? Obviously, what Stone possesses is something else entirely -- something which Trump calls guts as a kind of private joke. Perhaps by guts, Trump means "fear of consequences"?
