12/8/19: It’s a lazy Sunday at the White House. Trump decides to catch up on his policy reading.
But first….tweeting!

Trump sets a new personal record: firing off 105 tweets and retweets in a single day. It’s Trump at his toilet-flushing craziest. He casually threatens North Korea with attack: “Kim Jong Un is too smart and has far too much to lose, everything actually, if he acts in a hostile way.”
Then he notes that he hopes nuclear war won’t “interfere with the U.S. election in November.”
He tells his Twitter
followers to watch One America News, his favorite new channel. One show he
recommends will totally debunk Shifty Schiff’s impeachment case. The film clip he links features a
hot news babe in a red dress and a guy standing behind her who is shaped like a
large barrel.
Trump tweet-quotes Ted Cruz, formerly known as “Lyin’ Ted,” in his defense, which is ironic. Then he claims, “Any president has the authority to investigate corruption.” Which is true. But no president has a right to ask a foreign power to investigate U.S. citizens. The only reason people want to impeach him, he tweets, is that they “hate” him.
In his own defense, the president quotes Jesse Waters of Fox News: “The Democrats are losing it.” Then he quotes Dan Scavino, his White House Director of Media: “The Democrats are losing it.” Next, he cites Jenna Ellis, who has written a book about how Christians can understand the constitutional crisis: “The Dems are desperately searching for grounds of impeachment and they have LOST. They have NOTHING.” Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona gets some serious Twitter lovin,’ with half a dozen retweets. That includes: “Democrats’ determination to impeach @realDonaldTrump undercuts our responsibility to govern the nation.” Rep. Devin Nunes, Dan Bongino and Mark Levin of Fox News, the whole sycophant crew is here.
Trump
even repeats a mistake he has made before:
 |
(Yes, Nixon and the “smocking gun.”) |
Trump posts another angry tweet about Chairman Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee. “What he did is illegal,” the president yelps. “Schiff is a corrupt politician and a criminal!”
“The Wall is going up fast!” Trump reminds fans in another tweet.
And again: “I.G. report out tomorrow. That will be the big story!” (See: 12/9/19.)
The president is really hoping that Inspector General Michael Horowitz is going to tell the whole world that the Russia investigation was a hoax and a witch hunt and a bunch of hokum.
And James Comey should burn in hell.
Sadly, the Tweet Storm continues long into the night. Trump’s thumbs are still tapping, tapping, tapping at his iPhone after midnight. “Witch hunt!” he finally cries out at 12:07 a.m.
With that he clicks off the light and finds respite and
refuge in sleep.
