"He’s not knowledgeable of how federal agencies work, how the communications operations work. He botched this whole immigration rollout. This should’ve been a win for Donald, not two or three weeks of negative publicity.”
The head of the RNC doesn’t know how Fed agencies work? Rump’s regime doesn’t know whether to sh*t or go blind (not ONE of them!) and yet it’s the fault of Rinse My Prius? Prius represents the GOP establishment and if he goes, I suspect more than a few House Reps will be thinking impeachment.
“He’s not knowledgeable of how federal agencies work, how the communications operations work. He botched this whole immigration rollout.”
As though the Molester in Chief would know enough about how our government works to even recognize that Priebus didn’t know these things.
This should’ve been a win for Donald, not two or three weeks of negative publicity.”
Gee, I thought two or three weeks of negative publicity was a win for unpresident P.P. Nazifrog.
Ya just gotta love RWNJ cannibalism!! Lord of the Flies Redux!!
Yeah, and I just don’t see how the COS is somehow responsible for the shitshow rollout of a terribly written EO dictated by Bannon. But I suspect this will become commonplace. Something goes horribly wrong, the WH finds an easy scapegoat, fires them, and then claims the problem is resolved. Most of the heads on that chopping block will be establishment types the campaign brought in to appease members of Congress.
how can you ever finish your cabinet and staff advisors when you keep nominating dullards and incompetents that have to be fired, resign or are kept out of important decisions?
oh…
wait…
I get it… it’s better that way…
This reminds me of the way Kim Jong Un “disappears” his relatives (with an anti-aircraft gun supposedly). Rinse My Pubis will simply be gone one day. Now, if someone (wink, wink, Mr. Pence) could figure out how to pull that off with The Orange Groper, you have my attention.
1 / I guarantee that Tramp’s reflex here will be to make a simulacrum CELEB APPR and fire somebody on tv for ratings effect. Maybe Spicer. Maybe Priebus. Doesn’t matter who; ratings are what matters most to him.
2 / A sure sign of how screwed the nation is—we are relying on Priebus to save us from Pres. Bannon. So far RP may be losing.
3 / Flynn can’t be canned or humiliated, lest he spill the beans on all of the Russian perfidy with leaks, hacks, dealing$ with Manafort/Stone/Tramp kids, etc. Maybe he will become Amb. to Kazakhstan. Almost far enough away.
4 / I hope somebody is taking good notes and gets that insider book out, anonymously, of course. There’s probably enough material for a volume for each year of this unholy administration.
No matter how outrageous and sociopathic, Trump will never be confronted by the GOP even though Trump is the problem. Priebus is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least he is reasonably sane. What is happening here is a “competitive exclusion” of semi competetent and competent people by hacks, conspiracy theorists and Ayn Rand freaks who stroke Trump’s ego,
How will this end?
In fire!

I think it’s at least possible that Kushner is seeing the handwriting on the wall and is trying to contain whatever damage is coming his way.
@theod I agree that Flynn’s ties to Putin are stronger and older than his ties to Rump. Getting rid of him would take some surgical precision and finesse that Rump et al. can’t possibly do.
To paraphrase an old saying, “Fish stinks from the Cheeto-colored balls that they suck on.”
As long as the beheadings are on C-SPAN - "♪♫And now, we go to our weekly Executive Branch sacrifice, with Executioner Bannon presiding…"
This is gotta be a first: the baby throwing the adults out with the bathwater!
Priebus will go because he is an established Republican, but Team Treason (=Putin’s Puppet and Moscow Mike) will remain.
If one were so negative as to take a conspiratorial view of this, one could argue that they can’t really get rid of Flynn without Moscow’s approval! So Priebus may be the logical victim as a sacrificial lamb and stop the bloodletting hopefully at that point.
Commenters can be so judgmental, you know? Tisk tisk tisk, if I do say so myself!!
Rancid Pubics’s hiring as COS was a play to the establishment wing of the GOP. Now that Trump knows he can mutilate babies on camera and the GOP will let him get away with it - it is time for a change. Not to mention that rumors have been rampant that President Bannon does not like him, so he is toast.
Holy shit, the Asshole-elect is unhappy with Kelly because he lied. This from the world class liar whose entire life is a lie. Sad.
Nah. They’ll outsource it to India.
