I would have only one question for this synchophantic fucker;

Q) Mr. Clovis, would you please explain to the committee what “The Scientific Method” is and how it relates to the position you have been nominated for?

A) Argle Bargle, CAPITALISM!

I really hate to see Sam Clovis cry…

So they will pull the nom because he is too close to the investigation, but not because he isn’t qualified?

Weighty decisions to be made all around. Does this make Chuck Grassley a “girther”?

Also, when irony comes to 5th Ave.

Two weeks ago, a computer security expert, who wishes to remain unidentified, contacted Mother Jones and provided the list of the shadow Trump Organization subdomains. He explained what he believed had happened. Some hacker—or group—had gained access to the Trump Organization’s GoDaddy domain registration account. Like many companies, the Trump Organization has registered a long list of domain names, many of which it has never put to use. Some examples: barrontrump.com, donaldtrump.org, chicagotrumptower.com, celebritypokerdealer.com, and donaldtrumppyramidscheme.com.The existence of these shadow subdomains suggests a possible security compromise within Trump’s business network that created the potential for unknown actors—using these Trump Organization subdomains—to launch attacks that could trick computer users anywhere into handing over sensitive information and unknowingly allow the attackers access to their computers and network. In fact, the IP addresses associated with the fake subdomains are linked to an IP address for at least one domain previously used by hackers to deploy malware known as an “exploit kit,” which can allow an attacker to gain a computer user’s passwords and logins or to take over another computer and gain access to the files within it.

And the the faux subdomains were traced to an IP address in…wait for it…Russia.

Clovis won’t care. His second chin already makes a good living lobbying for the American Pork Council.

It’s official:

Doing a happy dance that this science-ignorant homophobe got beaten by Ernst only to hop on the Trump train in time for (crosses fingers) an indictment.

Sarah Sanders: “We are saddened to announce that the eminently qualified Samuel Clovis has withdrawn himself from consideration for the Agriculture Department’s Chief Scientist and has decided he would rather spend more time at home with his cheeseburgers.”

Now they’ll nominate Barron Trump, since he grew some beans once for a school science fair project.

Would hate to be the marshal that has to drag Clovis’s fat ass to court. Better put a down payment on that tow truck, baby!

How much do you think Mueller will expense for salted ham and chocolate sauce-slathered doughnuts when Clovis stops by for his interview?

No, the fire from Clovis would be much worse, since bacon fat is far more flammable.

I’d show some respect for Barron. The U.S. electorate will probably make him President in 2060. He just needs to spend a few decades grifting and shafting people, he’ll set himself up for the GOP nomination just fine.

Well, he’s clearly smarter than he is handsome.

With luck he’ll still get caught up in Mueller’s net.

Of course, Maggie Haberman will Tweet that Trump isn’t upset one iddely-biddely bit about his totally corrupt and absolutely unqualified nominee got shit-canned. Not one eensy-teensy iota of bigly white-hot rage, right, Maggie?

That’s not all that’s “not hard” about him.

Well, if he was born in Kenya, he took all the food with him when he left.
