Permanent until she testifies and doesn’t stick to the script Donnie (“I never learn”) has personally written for her.

Well, at least she already has a lawyer. So that’s taken care of.

“…longtime aide…”
“…most trusted aide…”
“…close aide…”

Wink wink, nod nod.
(Good job, Matt.)

Hicks took the position on an interim basis in mid-August after Anthony Scaramucci left the White House. Before Scaramucci, Sean Spicer and Mike Dubke filled the role.

Four Comms Directors in 235 days. Trump is a knucklehead.

Did Kelly ok this, otherwise she’ll be back out the revolving door soon.

Once a hooker always a hooker. In fact, this disgusting piece of shit gives a bad name to hookers…

Hang her traitor ass too.

Bloomberg noted: “She’s viewed by staff as a strong leader because she is one of the president’s most trusted aides and therefore secure in her standing.”

Ok, chewing on this one for a moment. This is what makes her a “strong leader”? There is zero leadership quality there. She’s isn’t a leader because of anything to do with interactions with other staff, she is a leader because they don’t think Trump will fire his mistress most trusted aide.

I edited the text to reflect that it’s the name of a real WaPo commenter. That makes it fair game in my (“fairly” territorial, possessive) book.

O.T. What’s all this about, then?

If you woke up on Tuesday morning and wondered why Republican Senator Ted Cruz was trending on twitter, odds are you didn’t think it was because he had liked a pornographic tweet. You would be wrong.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas used his verified Twitter account to like a porn video that’s embedded into a tweet on Twitter.
Yes, it’s a real porn and it’s a real like and it’s on his actual account.
Naturally there is a lot of speculation about what prompted Mr. Cruz to like this video, and while most assume the Senator will either blame some unnamed intern or claim his account was hacked, the speculation is a lot more fun. So have at it.

Let me be among the first to congratulate Hope on being named as The Apprentice Trump’s official White House mouthpiece. How fitting.
