On further reflection, this looks like an If They Mated of Daniel Craig (AKA Mister Lumpy Head) and Andy Samberg. -- (link*) - Beryllium Jun 20, 13:24
So at what point do people start tearing off the heads at Mt Rushmore -- nm - eag Jun 20, 13:12 5

"President Trump just told reporters at the White House that he's 'not involved' with the firing of US Attorney Berman." -- (link) - mara Jun 20, 13:11 18
- Interesting -- (link) - Reagen Jun 20, 14:19
- It seems to me that this stuff could be simplified by a law saying that a fed employee is only fired when notice is received by the Clerk of the House -- nm - Max Jun 20, 13:53 1
  - That would be far too neat and tidy of a solution. -- nm - znufrii Jun 20, 14:17
- If Barr had the slightest amount of self respect he'd resign - Brian Jun 20, 13:23 3
  - Barr: Berman resigned. Berman: No I didn't. Barr: Trump fired him. Trump: No I didn't. -- nm - budice Jun 20, 13:27 2
    - I imagine Barr talking to Trump like this. -- (link) - Reagen Jun 20, 13:28 [youtube] 1
      - heh -- nm - prayformojo Jun 20, 13:30
- Barr told Berman that Trump fired him -- (link) - budice Jun 20, 13:19 2
  - Trump on firing Berman, “I’m not involved.” -- (link) - budice Jun 20, 13:26
  - Yup, that's why reporters asked Trump about it. -- nm - mara Jun 20, 13:20
- Lol. So he’s not fired then? -- nm - znufrii Jun 20, 13:14 5
  - And hes throwing Barr under the bus -- nm - eag Jun 20, 13:18
  - If he doesn't have a letter from Trump saying he's fired, I don't see how he can be. But what do I know. -- nm - mara Jun 20, 13:15 3
    - Maybe there was a letter to be signed but Trump walked out of the office without signing it. -- nm - Max Jun 20, 13:48
    - I’m sure there is a letter, and Trump is just lying his ass off as per usual. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 20, 13:18 1
      - Only Berman can clear that point up, I guess. -- nm - mara Jun 20, 13:25
- Sometimes, I struggle to trust that guy. -- nm - David Jun 20, 13:11 1
  - Sometimes? -- nm - eag Jun 20, 13:21

  - I hope they do deviate for Wick 4 -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 13:06 3
    - Me too. John Wick leads a group of 100 drunk and/or blind assailants on a mission to climb Everest. -- nm - Loyola Jun 20, 13:08 2
      - And at the summit of Everest is the head of the organization, and wick shoots his oxygen tank to blow him up. Sold. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 13:10 1
        
        You sir, are a genius. - Loyola Jun 20, 13:13
  - The problem with more Deadpool is the barely seemed to have enough material to do the sequel. -- nm - Qale Jun 20, 13:05 3
    - 2 was *hilarious* -- nm - mud Jun 20, 13:06 2
      - It was. But if/when they do a third, it really needs a fresh coat of sarcastic paint. -- nm - Qale Jun 20, 13:08 1
        
        sure -- nm - mud Jun 20, 13:09
MAJOR PRESIDENTIAL OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE IN REAL TIME ! -- nm - mud Jun 20, 12:53 7
- At this point I'm not even sure Trump has fired the guy - Brian Jun 20, 13:14
- He and Bozo kept this week trying to outdo each other. So far, I think Drumpf is winning the Scumbag Cup. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 20, 12:56 2
  - I worry for you and yours. I wish you could remove to Portugal or Canada! -- nm - mud Jun 20, 13:04 1
    - Yeah, same here. Sad thing is, we talked about it (Portugal) a few years ago. We should have tried harder, maybe we could be there already. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 20, 13:06
- Sad. Disturbing -- nm - JackDawson Jun 20, 12:55
