And because it has such an unattractive personality, there won't be residual loyalty to it, in fact even its political allies, would probably console themselves with the thought that even if they're doomed, they can cause it humiliation and damage.

One can hope

And then America's 3½ minute attention span will give all the toadies and collaborators a free pass despite all they did to undermine various longstanding constitutional & ethical norms.

John Shimkus has announced he's not seeking re-election

Norman Alexander 31st August 2019 05:14 AM

At the rate they are leaving this administration, by 2020, Trump will be a lonely, smelly old man shuffling around the White House in his tattered long-johns, talking to himself and making unintelligible snarls at passers-by out the windows.

Sorry, no passers-by... or did I fall for fake news that they're building a new 11 foot tall wall around the WH?

Trump has all the best people, that's why he's now making excuses that interim acting replacements are better because he has more control. :rolleyes:

She'll fit right in. Her lying skills were honed working for Trump. She learned from the best.

Madeleine Westerhout resigned as executive assistant to the President on Thursday after Trump learned she had shared information with reporters at a recent off-the-record meeting

Not exactly a political figure. But, she had apparently been quite loyal for several years.

Apparently, she let slip that Trump doesn't like to have his pic taken with his daughter, Tiffany, because of her weight.

I don't think I was ever aware that he had a daughter besides Ivanka.

Ah ha. So that's what that was about. I heard a snippet of this, this morning and other than hearing Trump and Tiffany, and Trump being angry, I missed the rest.

Tiffany's not the one Trump thinks is hot and he wouldn't date her even if she weren't his daughter.

Skeptic Ginger 31st August 2019 04:37 PM

That fat-ass Trump has a lot of nerve. He's seriously overweight, Tiffany isn't though
maybe she needs a stylist.

Tiffany Trump’s Easter Outfit 2019

I might use a stylist if I had the money for one. I can't pick out clothes.

From what little is reported on her, she stays away from daddy even though she lives in town and attends Georgetown Law School.

This is the guy who mocked a man at one of his recent rallies for being overweight. His self-awareness is nonexistent.

Jason Greenblatt resigns. Trump's envoy for the Middle East.

"More time with family" line is probably true - he has six kids.

And after being in that job a bit I suppose he knows better than most how quickly their childhood may be over.

Bolton has been fired.

Edit: and the Whitehouse today stated that Bolton was supposed to be at a press briefing with Pompeo and Mnuchin, today.

Sooo, Elliott Abrams taking the NSA job?

Senex 10th September 2019 10:07 AM

As much as I dislike Bolton it terrifies me that Trump doesn't listen to anyone that disagrees with him. It should terrify everyone.

I'm sorry, but is there anything about this administration that isn't terrifying?

It's still good one less war hawk is whispering in his ear.

But I think is also indicates Trump continues to deteriorate.

Unless of course he replaces Bolton with Elliott Abrams (as another poster suggested), who was one of the ones who pushed for the Iraq war.

That's it. The voices in his head will win more and more leading to poorer and poorer outcomes. We have a Stephen King villain running the show.

Trump said he would appoint a new person next week.

Next week is where Trump promises die.

Gotta go to Alabama to have nurses and doctors swoon over him at some hospital overrun with casualties, and get through infrastructure week, and finish the wall, and then there might be another Rapist Terrorist Syphillis Muslim caravan coming from some Mexican country.

Or the Bahamas. Some very bad people coming from there.

Other than "Muslim" that could describe him hosting a party at one of his resorts.

Trump: You're fired!
Bolton: No, I quit last night.

I used to think the Pennywise the CLown was King's most frightening creation, but since 2016 I think it's Greg Stillson in "The Dead Pool".

And Trump will fight and beat that dead horse like Neegan with his spiked baseball bat until even after it's nothing but gooey blood clots. This will make SharpieGate's hurricane look like a small sneeze.

dudalb 10th September 2019 12:37 PM

I hope that Bolton took a page from J Edgar Hoovers book, and kept detailed notes at all the dirt he saw happening in the Trump White House.

That's not how you do it. You write a letter of resignation, that's scathing towards the President, and he only learns of it through media and twitter because he doesn't read, so he'll receive the letter and then praise you, and then have to come back later to fire you, looking really stupid :thumbsup: .
