Why's the prick wearing his overcoat, did he go to the drive-thru to pick them up?

It's not an overcoat, it's a suit jacket finely tailored to cover his moobs and gock.

It just gets stranger and stranger... Pinch me...

As funny as that video is, many white Americans are exactly like them.
Oblivious to the world outside their bubble.
There are people like that everywhere, look at the Brexiter nuts, same sort of people.

They had just had a traditional group photo on the steps outside the White House, then Trump led them into the dining room.

That was amazing.

I honestly can't work out if they are taking the piss or not.

Don't think they are.
It's not funny.

They might have to cancel the State Of The Union speech because of a combo of shutdown and DHS upgrading the security requirements. Winning!

Twitter melt-down in 5...4...3...

Every time some shit like this happens, I ask myself,
"Could you imagine the Obama's doing this?"

Every fucking time,the answer is a resounding "NO!"

Twitter edit for the tl:dr crew

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he just phoned in the State of the Union address live on Fox & Friends.

You are not alone.

It's not just Cohen's testimony.
"Mueller’s investigators learned that Trump told Cohen to lie through interviews with multiple witnesses who worked for the Trump Organization and internal company emails, texts and documents"

Cohen just confirmed this.

It’s always the cover up that gets you.

Especially when it's the dimmest guy in the room demanding the cover up at full volume.

Well I just read something interesting.

I did not know that Donald Trump quit the Republican party and ran for president as a centrist in 2000. He ran on a pro choice and pro gun control platform.

He also nominated Oprah as his running mate.

How the flying fuck does this get by his base?

because his base are myopic rednecks easily distracted by shiny things and sleight of hand

"Murica"

"Um, that was pre-9/11"

How the flying fuck does this get by his base?

Average American is insanely ignorant. Not stupid, or bad people, just clueless about the world around them.
It is really shocking.
For example, look at how many flat earthers and creationists there are, and there are places where creationism is taught as a valid theory.
There are smart people, of course, but they are a minority.
The upper class is doing everything it can to prevent the lower class from getting university education by making it impossibly expensive.
