White House pink slips are handed out on Friday afternoons. This is Thursday.
They also are notorious for stabbing their allies in the back (aka 911) and handing their severed heads on a golden platter to the widowā¦in this case to Trumpās three wives.
The problem is that Trump hollowed out his familyās fortune and now itās all a house of cards with Donald as the foundation. As soon as Trump goes down, his āfortuneā goes with him. The kids are either on their way to the slammer with him or they are out on the street with nothing. So thereās no upside for them to do anything other than hold on tight and hope he somehow rides it out.
I think the Russian angle is, perhaps, underappreciated. Given the pattern of āwill look into itā followed by ignoring all reasonable advice from US Military Advisors and doing the thing that benefits Russia, I think weāre still operating from Putinās talking pointsā¦

I am not sanguine about Better Angels abounding anywhere in the contemporary GOP-Dixiecrat Party. So Corker is going to have to be vocal, along with Mattis and others to derail Trump, who is so desperate for any semblance of victory or competence that he is going to do this next week. This is where Corkerās willingness to play along with the absolute bullshit peddled by Bibi Netanyahu and Adelson, and their future Presidential candidate Tom Cotton, just to hurt President Obama, really hurts the country and the rest of the world. Corker is no Sen Lugar or Javits, who were international policy experts. He is a partisan hack and a midget, compared to their like.

Reason 1: Obama did it
Reason 2: His new friends in Saudi Arabia want it undone

Yes, and now it seems that Trump, who has no use for the western alliance of nations, is ready to do it again.
When the iran nuclear deal was struck, I was hoping that Iran could rejoin the world community and that the availability of its oil to the European market would serve to blunt Russiaās ability to use oil and gas as a geopolitical weapon against the energy-dependent Europe.
Seems like so long ago ā¦

Why is it that Trump always has to ask for ārationaleā? Oh, thatās right - heās a fucking moron.
True, but in this Congress he enjoys stature. I donāt think he or McCain want to contemplate āgoing bareā on Iran.
There will be pressure to convince Trump that this deal is the best that we could get. Maybe theyāll engineer some face-saving exit for him so he can say he āgot somethingā out of his chest-thumping.

In case anybody is wondering, of course Republicans can balance the budget.

I usually donāt agree with the distraction idea but this time I do. Itās too fucking convenient.
Also the whole issue of the horribly racist tapes that The Apprentice producer has somewhere is active again.

Well, to be fair, the Russians helped. And Putin must be thinking how he hit the jackpot in unimaginable ways. Itās like he won WWIII without firing a shot, destroyed the only real impediment to doing whatever the hell he wants, while the great arsenal of democracy devours itself with cancer.
Stupid barely describes Trump. He should not be President, thereās no reason for him to be President, he has no qualities that would suggest he should be PResident, yet there he is, winging it and making the decision making prowess of The Beaver loke like genius.
