Actually, no. The Titanic just had one really, really big leak, caused by ramming an iceberg at 21 knots.
Kushner has been a very bad boy. Guess what he did when he failed to get the loan?

He enjoys getting revenge like his father-in-law, but paybackās going to be a bitch.
Because heās one of the few there who is only crazy, not stupid as well.
This guy seriously looks like the crypt keeper! Just how good is the movie version of this admin going to be?
My first thought was this is a CYA move.
I can see that but I donāt get how this would cover his ass. Itās just a statement of advice and doesnāt mean anything. Trump is responsible for firing Comey no matter who told him what. So I donāt get what Bannon is trying to do besides throw Jared under the bus.
Hell, thereās some very powerful evil operating right out in the open.
If Trump is the Titanic, Bannonās the iceberg. Laying low, heāll still be there when the ship goes down, to greet Captain Pence. Or so he hopes. He discounts global warming.
Wow, even Bannon is smarter than Trump, than all Trumps combinedā¦
On the second thought ā I realize this is not surprising.
My guess is that youāre right, but I bet K thinks blames his fatherās misfortune on Chris Christie. It isnāt anything that dad did that was unethical, immoral, or illegal. It was all the fault of the Feds.
I bet these guys think that if they do it, itās ok. Things that would be wrong if anyone else did it suddenly become ennobled by their touch.
I should think that if I were Bannon, that would be quite sufficient. On the other hand, I quite frequently congratulate myself that I am not Bannon.
A perfectly valid reason to congratulate oneself.
Iām sure thatās enough for Bannon, too. If I didnāt realize what an aphrodisiac power is, I would think that Bannon had a thing for Lust Object and was trying to get Jared out of the way. But that aināt it - he wants Jared out of the way because of power not sex.
Two possibilities come to mind immediately
-
They thought they could control Tramp and use him to get what they wanted
-
They knew that Tramp was uncontrollable but didnāt care because they wanted the WH and already had plans to take him down in disgrace thereby making the successor look reasonable by comparison
Option 2 continues to interest me because of the Manafort connection. And remember, just like Sessions did when he answered a question Sen. Franken did not ask by saying that heād had no contact with Russians, Pence answered a question he was not asked when he claimed that heād first learned of Flynnās traitorous contacts with Russians from a news story.
Even at lying, they all suck.
With these people, even sex is about power. Itās a dominationist thing.
Bannon covering his ass now that the hammers appear to be coming down.
Exactly. This isnāt intelligence or him playing chess instead of checkers, he just doesnāt want to go to jail. One day without booze and the collective hangover would cause him to explode
I fully expect him to, along with everyone else. This just falls way short of any covering for said ass since it doesnāt mean much. So there must still be a missing piece and chances are good that weāll find out what it is by the end of the day or at least the week.
Iām waiting for him to try āfiringā members of congress. Heās already shown his willingness to turn his armed lemmings against anyone who openly questions him and heās threatened to have some people āprimariedā if they donāt follow without question.
How little power he truly has but how massive that flabby, flaccid ego!
Itās telling that the REPC, Real Estate Power Couple, rented their DC home. They didnāt buy. They knew theyād be staying a short while.
And remember, Kush didnāt get into Harvard on his own steam. No, his daddy donated a million+ and Kush magically was accepted. Just as Trampās older brother had to call in a favor to get Tramp, a mediocre transfer student, into Penn.
Agree, but I donāt think anyone in the administration (outside of some low level staffers) think theyāre going to jail, so this is entirely about public perception, more specifically, public perception to the Fox News audience.
