So glad to see Pam Bondi getting her payoff. Carson? For what, Special Assistant for Pyramids?? Yeah, he’s “draining the swamp” all right, and filling the bucket with the runoff. Can this become any more farcical?

Putting susPence in charge makes a lot of sense considering:

Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

“Making America great again” was the casual reply.

Pence can appoint Bryan Fischer to the “Make the gays shut up and get back in the closet” transition chair.

Two different types of low-lifes. But still low-lifes.

Trump will be brought down by his fraudulence, just as Christie will be.

Even if we get rid of Trump, we’ve got to deal with Pence. He’s the - real - threat to humanity.

Honestly, I can’t see either Trump or Pence holding this band of incompetents and loons together for four years - especially if Bannon is Chief of Staff or holds some other high-ranking position. And once it starts getting bad, the infighting and blame shifting will be hideous. I really believe the Trump administration will make the Nixon White House look fantastic by comparison.

Yes. He will plan the transition and much more. Don’t be surprised to see a ride back to the oval office after the inauguration for Trump to sign as many EOs as possible to signal the unraveling of Obamacare, Wall Street reforms, and Immigration i.e. the Dreamers. He will stagecraft this to get maximum audience on Day 1. Mark my words.

So everyone can plan on the Trump administration being stocked with fundie crazies.

The one upshot is he’s a bigger prima donna than anyone but the big orange chicken. You’d need to rent Madison Square Garden to sit Pence, Trump, Ryan, and their egos down together.

The only upside to Pence is that he’s a known quantity.

“Christie–as well as Rudy Giuliani, Gen. Michael Flynn, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Newt Gingrich, and Dr. Ben Carson, all campaign advisors to Trump–will serve as transition vice chairs.”

Well, those names certainly put the “vice” in “vice chairs”.
