Pruitt’s job is not in jeopardy — for now.
So, he's getting fired before the end of the month. Got it.
That couldn’t come too soon. From your lips to God’s ears.
I’m sure there’s another golf caddy that needs a job…bye bye Pruitt.
So the recipe is to turn the WH into a huge grifting operation. Hire other grifters who get caught grifting. Then investigate them. Fire them. Hire worse grifters. Proceed.
Is that about it?
This is a joke right… I am hard pressed to believe the White House cares… as long as Pruitt continues to roll back Obama era regulations he is good to go.
You just figured that out? That’s been the modus operandi since Day 1.
Grifters gotta grift.
Pruitt is the most fetid part of “the swamp.”
They don’t care care. But the boss cares about negative stories. Too many of those and the hairy eyeball turns in your direction. He’s like Catch-22’s Colonel Cathcart, who judges everything by whether it’s a “black eye” or a “feather in my cap.” He’s all about the grifting, but black eyes are a no-no.
ETA: Just read in the The Atlantic that he asked the White House to approve hefty raises for two aides, the WH said no, so he rehired them under a different authority that gave him the power to grant the raises himself. WH is a bit ticked. Even the crookedest operation around frowns at insubordination.
He committed all the big acts of corruption giving free hand to every polluter that asked for a break and even to many that didn’t. And now he is deep kimchi for petty corrupteles like cheap rent, and taking the missus for a trip. Yeah Trump is very loyal.
The only thing going for him is that Trump also wants to fire Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller. And Trump can’t think of too many things at once because his brain gets overwhelmed and losses control of his sphincter.
It’s the grifting revolving door that I find interesting.
(have not been asleep this whole time )
Catch 22 indeed
Grabbers gotta grab.
betcha that kills him worse than anything .
He cant get any on the side being constantly under the microscope
Overused Metaphor News:
Council of Henhouse Foxes investigates fox for getting caught eating chickens In henhouse.
Shocked, shocked I tell you.
he White House might be reaching its wit’s end
In a White House known for its extensive wit that has been a long journey, but now it’s coming to an end. Either that or the copy has a typo and it’s really a story about the twit’s end.
Oh, I have a sneaky suspicion when all the shit settles (someday), we’ll learn how Dump and/or his evil spawn made oodles of money on investments during his many free-enterprise assaultung twitter storms.
OT, but:
U.S. stocks are on track to have their worst April start since 1929, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 index slumped 2.4 percent as of 1:10 p.m. in New York, a rout exceeded only by its 2.5 percent decline 89 years ago, a prelude to the devastating crash later that year that brought on the Great Depression. (Back then, the index only comprised 90 stocks.)
Guess who gets the blame?
Not only can he not stand anyone out grifting the grifter and getting the attention, Trump seems to be in one of his constant ranting phases. Complete loss of logic instead of his normal unconnected foolishness. An example was Monday at the Easter egg hunt. If I had a crazy uncle, then that is how I think he would behave.
This usually means Trump knows something is about to ‘pop’ and he is mentally on the run. Normal mobsters would head for the Poconos or some cheap dive on the waterfront, but Fat Donny couldn’t stand the lack of phony opulence so he remains in public view.
I think he is coming apart which makes him more dangerous than ever before. At what point do we see an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment? Has anyone been tracking Pence’s calls and meetings over this Congressional break?
(Sorry for the crazy theory stuff. Maybe its being within 30- miles of Alex Jones)
