James Comey and the Pee Pee Tape has President Golden Showers SO ANGRY, which is hilarious, but also really fucking terrifying

by Therese Odell, posted in Uncategorized

The James Comey media tour has begun — in the same week that President Cheeto Penis’ lawyer’s office was raided, no less — so buckle up, because shit is about to GO DOWN.

A clip from Sunday’s George Stephanopolous interview aired on Good Morning America this morning in which Comey says a number of damning things, including the fact that the Trump team was unconcerned with Russia, and Trump was completely obsessed with the pee pee tape.

In what was certainly a completely unrelated incident, President Pee Pee Tape tweetraged HARD this morning:

That’s correct, the President of the United States is publicly calling someone a “slime ball.”

But also, too:

Rachel Maddow also got her hands on a copy of the book, and her three takeaways are that the Colluder-in-Chief was trying to make the intelligence community complicit in his team’s activities; that he was more worried about optics of the Russian interference than the actual interference; and that he is VERY worried about the pee pee tape. SO WORRIED. ALL OF THE WORRIED.

Sunday’s interview is just the beginning of Comey’s media tour: he will be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, The View on Wednesday, in addition to a CNN Town Hall and interviews with MSNBC and Fox News. Oh, and also appearing on The View next week? Stormy Daniels. President Mike Teavee is going to be completely unable to stop himself from watching all of this and he is going to FREAK. OUT.

President Burnitalldown is backed into a corner right now and is itching to fire Mueller by firing Rod Rosenstein — going so far as reportedly asking his friends to go on TV to call for Rosenstein and Mueller’s firing, so that he can point to them and claim that “everyone is saying” he should do it.

Of course, firing Mueller and Rosenstein is exactly the trap Mueller has laid for Trump. Yesterday, negotiations to have President Perjury speak to Mueller reportedly broke down, and Mueller announced that he is preparing to deliver a report that accuses the Obstructor-in-Chief of obstruction of justice based on four incidents. If Donny Trash were to fire Mueller, it would just add fuel to that particular obstruction fire.

However, if we’ve learned anything in the past 15 months, it’s that President FuckIt is happy to do the stupid thing even if it hurts him. What I’m saying is have your comfortable protest shoes ready because shit is about to blow up in 3 … 2 …

Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb argue that “tried and true journalism” is “more important than ever.” ORLY? WHY?

Laura Ingraham lost Red Lobster but gained back Ace Hardware, so, you know. Meanwhile, Ingraham remains defiant and screaming about the First Amendment (which only apparently applies to conservatives, and not to people who are appalled by conservatives’ behavior like bullying teen victims of gun violence) without once mentioning the boycott against her.

This has nothing to do with TV, but it’s Friday, so.

You better believe Kevin Spacey is under investigation by the Los Angeles DA’s office.

  • Trial & Error returns on NBC on July 19. (This is good — I liked Trial & Error fine, but it works better as a summer show. Hopefully, NBC will save A.P. Bio, which is SO GOOD, Y’ALL, despite its weak ratings and give it a new spot in the summer.)
