Anyone President Obama hated that much must have been doing something right, which is why Trump would be interested. Plus, he was obviously clever enough to avoid President Obama's death squads.

Did you mean "Anyone who hated President Obama that much..."?

I probably should have said "Anybody who thought that President Obama hated them that much ...". I wrote the original from the perspective of someone who didn't realize that Nugent was delusional with his belief that he was some sort of "enemy of the state" who would be targeted by the President.

Moving my chips to Ms Conway

She is, of course, literally sleeping with the enemy. Interesting article. The very first sentence is Seriously? "Not always"? How about "Always not"?

Last paragraph is great:

And the next candidate to have to quit, with possible charges being filed against is:


possibly Devin Nunes.

All the crimes Roger Stone is charged with relate to him lying to the House Intelligence Committee in a blatant and easily falsifiable manner. It took Mueller and a change in the House Majority to hold Stone to account.
So is Nunes going to be held to account for doing everything in his power to cover up for Stone ?

I think Dan Coates might not be long for being in Trump world after his open disagreement with Donnie today. He basically just told the Emperor that on several security issues he has no clothes.

Big "oooOOOoo!!" from the crowd.

Trump launched a full scale assault on the US Intelligence community today, basically proclaiming his gut feelings and instinct are superior to facts. That always ends well.

To be fair he always said that and it is what got him elected. We would never want something with as much of a liberal bias as reality to effect policy decisions.

Donny No Clothes.

I hate you. You just made me picture Mr Tiny hands naked. Yuck.

Well we have now found out that much of his gut feelings over the southern border comes from the 2015 movie, Sicario..... :eye-poppi :eek: :jaw-dropp

Sadly reminiscent of 2002.

Really Good Movie, but don't think it should be used as a basis for policy.

Let's hope nobody let's Trump watch Team America.

It appears that Trump considers it to be a documentary since it appears to be the only source with all of his claims about the border, women being smuggled through while duct taped up, the Mexican traffickers having high power vehicles, far better that US Border staff, massive loads of drugs being smuggled across the border, and prayer mats being found in the desert!

That a lot of drugs are smuggled over the US Border from Mexico is pretty undisputable.
And violent crime along the border is a very real problem.
Almost all critics of Trump's border policies accept that as a given.
Problem is that Trump's stupid wall and his other policies are a really dumb way of dealing with it..

Not the hard drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, and Fentanyl, that Trump keeps going on about. Those come through legal ports if entry by vehicle, boats, and planes, or via the mail system. Drugs that come into the US over the border are mostly Cannabis, and a lot of that gets in via tunnels under the border.

Agreed

The idea that the wall will make a dent in drug trafficking is laughable. Say you want to smuggle a couple hundred pounds of meth or cocaine across the border. Are you going to:

A. Hire four people to backpack it across the desert?
B. Bribe somebody loading a truck going across the border to put it in a box on a pallet near the front of the truck?

Assuming you are dumb enough to go with A. Will a wall across the middle of that desert make you.

A. Give up?
B. Pick answer B to question 1?

Put it in a ship-bound container that arrives from somewhere innocuous and unloads at any US seaport, disguised in one of many inventive ways. Hundreds of kilos per shipment that way.

Similarly, ship by aircraft freight.

Clearly this wall needs to extend out to sea and into the stratosphere. That's why the extra $0.7 billion on top of the original $5 billion Trump demanded.

Idiots.

It's the only thing that can save us!"

If we get Fox and Friends to say that, what's the bet Donny will say it.

Worth a shot??

There was an episode of the short-lived sitcom "Powerless" in which President Luthor responded to an alien invasion by Tweeting "WE WILL BUILD A SPACE WALL! AND THE ALIENS WILL PAY FOR IT!"

Another victim of the Trump administration:

Daily security briefings

A terrible thing.

There should be a law against cancelling anything with Vanessa Hudgens it, no matter how abjectly pitiful the show is. (And that show wasn't really all that bad.)

;)

Looks like this case is going to be in the news for awhile:

Oh gosh!

If that awful, stupid, idiotic, blabbering, POS Rudy gets the boot, then one has wonder what kind of awful, stupid, idiotic, blabbering, POS lackey will be hired to replace him.

Not an issue. There are plenty of awful, stupid, idiotic, blabbering, POS lackey Trump Supporters who can take his place.
Senator Graham comes to mind....

Did anyone have Bill Shine in the deadpool?

https://twitter.com/janrodrigueztv/s...63649516322817

He has a new position as senior advisor in Trump's reelection campaign.

Trump had complained to allies about the number of lawsuits in which Bill Shine was embroiled as a result of his tenure at Fox, per ⁦@GabbyOrr_⁩ and me -

:id:

Might that be a sinecure?

doesn't everyone who has to be kept quiet?
The Re-election campaign is nothing more than a cash-for-NDA scheme.

They really have trouble holding on to comms guys these days.

Then again, I can barely begin to imagine what a nightmare it must be to try to spin Trump's direct-to-Twitter messaging into something dignified and coherent.

DeVos bitch might be heading out. Trump just publicly humiliated her, by not backing her on the Special Olympics cut.

I don't think she's the type who gets humiliated. It would just make her meaner and more petty.

If she gets gone it'll be because she was too politically embarrassing even for the Trump Administration.

She's already thanking Trump for backing her support for the Special Olympics.

She knows how to play Trump while trying to make herself look good. Sad thing is, this Special Olympic issue is just another example of the need for the public to shame Trump and his people out of doing awful things. What's worse is that the shame tactic only works some of the time.

Well, here was an unexpected one:

From: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...ration-1243495
Linda McMahon is stepping down as head of Small Business Administration to chair the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action...

I was hoping that she finally decided to quit over things like the Trump administration's attempts to defund the special olympics (an organization that her company has some ties to), but it looks like its just a lateral move, from one Trump-related posting to another.

What a lying ****. But's it's what you expect from her kind.

to be honest, I don't understand why she's putting up with Trump: her family is way more successful than him, she is almost certainly richer than him, and unlike Trump, she doesn't need the gig to stay out of jail.

She puts up with it so she can serve the public, obviously.

And I sincerely mean that. We can dispute whether her policies are good for the nation, but I bet she thinks they are, by and large. (She may also have a financial interest muddying the waters. I think I've seen something to that effect, but I don't recall any details at all. Nonetheless, I think she really does think that her positions are good for the country. I also think she's myopic.)

"DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is meeting with Trump and expected to resign, CBS News reports"

https://twitter.com/i/events/1115000399482609664

And Kirstjen Nielsen has indeed resigned. Still blaming non-Trumpists for her boss's random thought bubbles and splutterings that have created chaos and heartbreak on the southern border. In fact, it was, as reported below, Steve Miller's dread hand.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...rity-secretary

My prediction, Kobach gets the job and in about a year we'll get a breaking news bulletin about mass graves being discovered in Arizona and Texas.

So that's the secretary of defense, secretary of the interior, homeland security secretary, White House chief of staff, and ambassador to the United Nations, all of which are filled with officials in acting capacity as opposed to someone who has been vetted by congress.

Minor quibble: CoS is not a confirmation position.

That does leave me a bit curious as to why there's an "acting" CoS.

It's Trumplogic^TM, a 301 level course taught at Trump University. See, Donnie wanted the boy wonder as CoS, so much so that he rustled him from the Pence corral, but when Boy Wonder said he'd take on the job only for a year to eighteen months, Trump, with his yuge brain knew he was bluffing and said, "No. You take it on permanently or not at all, 'cuz I've got four other aces in the hole waiting to take the job. My way or the highway." And when he needed to pull one of those aces, he pulled the Jack of Stupid and said, "Hey, no way this is a permanent position; no one would offer Chief of Staff on anything other than an interim basis."
