Yeah, you can take a story to the bank when The Hair calls it fake news.

One commentator thinks that some of the people who have stayed on in hopes of somehow containing Trump and talking him out of his worse ideas will leaved in droves because his rejecting of the advice of almost all his advisors on Tariffs, means he will state going by his "gut feelings: more and more,and the only thing to do is jump ship and wait until the after the inevitable shipwreck to salvage what can be salvaged.

Hell, even if they aren't, why would they stop doing something that's getting them exactly what they want?

Hitler may very well have not hated Jews (and hid it pretty well), but if he was convinced that pandering is what got him the popularity and power that he was seeking, of course he would run with it. At some point it just doesn't matter what his actual opinion of Jews may have been.

So, yep... If a person's outward behavior is consistently in line with a certain personality type, with little to no evidence of their "true" personality, it's in the world's best interest to treat that person as the personality type they present to us.

Whether the similarity has merit or not, I find that part about "his last days" to be pleasant, somehow.

"Never believe anything until it is officially denied."

An old adage revitalized.

So Kelly is now the new Cheney?
Looks like he controls everything except Twitter...

That was congress not Mueller interview.

The only thing keeping Mattis in the White House is the fact that Trump can't find an alternative candidate who will help him ban Transgender people from serving in the US forces.

Who had Cohn in the deadpool?

My current pick is Kelly.

Scaramucci, who is still a Trump cultist, recently referred to Kelly as General Jackass, among other sharp criticisms. And it's being reported that Trump is complicit in this outburst.

Do we keep a running list of all the White House staff who started with Donny in Jan 2017, and strike out their names as they go? Someone who likes to keep book on these things might like to offer odds on each one as well.

Oh deary deary me, Kellyanne.

She will get a promotion and a raise.

That would be me:

Once Trump announced the tariffs, Cohn was a dead man walking.

So she WILL be the next to leave!

She's been admonished for promoting Ivanka's products, then several stores stopped carrying Ivanka's line. Then she got behind Roy Moore and he lost.

Am I wrong in wanting to send her into several flipp-able districts. "Oh, and wear the stupid red-white-and-blue coat, wontcha?"

Not quite the White House, but the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service retired about an hour ago, effective immediately with no warning.

Previously in his USFS career, he had done this:

She was his subordinate - not a direct report, under Tooke's chain of command. Some of the people he pressured to create positions for her were also under his chain of command. This was well known and publicized before they appointed him. Yet, they still brought him out of retirement to put him in charge of the agency.

Can't really blame Trump for that one, I think.

Why not?

Tooke's transgressions were well known when he was appointed as Chief by the Trump administration.

Probably. The current administration doesn't think anything as mundane as the law applies to it.

:bigclap

Oh, ok. I had the misapprehension that he was already there.

Sec. of Education DeVos might be on the list for failure to embrace Trump's "Arm School Teachers" initiative with enthusiasm combined with her terrible, embrassing performance on Meet the Press yesterday,which has White House Officials concerned.

DeVos won't go. Yet, anyway. She represents the evangelical vote which are about the only block Donny hasn't completely betrayed and insulted in public yet.

Well, he has, by metaphorically taking a big ole dump on most of those ten commandments, but that block has it's blinders firmly in place so that's okay.

She's currently bragging on twitter that test scores in Michigan declined after her preferred policies were put in place. 50 Senators and the Vice President voted to confirm this clueless clown.

I gather she completely screwed the neighbor's dog on "60 Minutes" too.

Was it called "Stormy"?

TILLERSON OUT!!!

No second round of applause for Loss Leader. :(

Still breaking news.

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/03/1...ate-tillerson/

CIA Director Mike Pompeo will replace Tillerson.

I understand that Putin didn't like Romney as Secretary of State, but does he really prefer Pompeo over Tillerson?
maybe Trump should ask his boss before this staff decision?

Good to see Trump still stands by his catch phrase.

Tillerson knew the risk he was taking when he bad-mouthed Putin over the Skripal case. Respect is due for doing it anyway, I think.

I'm surprised he survived calling Trump a moron.

And someone called John McEntee, over his security clearance. The Best People!

Gee whiz!

Rex Tillerson has finally got the boot and I am surprised that it has taken this long.

And by the way, due to the numerous State Department resignations in the last several months I sure hope that the last person to leave the State Department building will remember to turn out the lights.

Tillerson even got the "He's a good man -- I like him" routine, but after the fact this time.

Am I missing something here?

As more and more people get booted out of the White House because of problems with getting their security clearances. shouldn't that make keeping Ivanka and Jared even more difficult?

Being investigated for financial crimes, so they fire him and escort him out of the White House but then make him a senior campaign advisor....

Apparently John McEntee made certain that Trump always had markers for autographs , delivered messages to him at the White House, and last weekend made certain the clocks in the White House were "sprung forward" for daylight savings time (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-...red-1520945928). My God- Trump couldn't even hire a go-fer who didn't have serious issues!

Well, at least Mr. McEntee is now free to find a less demeaning job- assuming he stays clear of a conviction and prison.

It says a lot about the ethical and moral character of the Trump campaign apparatus, but nothing we didn't already know from past performance.

OK, Tillerson puts out a press release supporting the UK conclusions about the source of the toxin and condemns Russia for their involvement, and suddenly gets canned.

How can Congress let this go unchecked?

Because they're aiding and abetting.

It would appear to have been in the works for at least a little while since David Dennison already had noms for SOSUS and CIA lined up.

Tillerson was told last Friday that he would be fired, so I think that his comments on Russia are irrelevant here.

The BBC World Service introduced the Tillerson Story with, "it's been almost 7 full days since the last high-level aide left the White House..."

It seems like only yesterday when reports of Tillerson's pending ouster was labeled "fake news" by the Liar-in-Chief.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.
