Swamp-draining is hard when conducted by scum.

Edit- He drained the swamp to find the creepiest of crawlers to appoint… like this:

And there is this from the swamp, the ugliest of creepy creatures who have been empowered by Trump’s non popular vote “victory”:

This is the kind of stuff that’s going to happen non-stop for the next four years. He won’t face any real repercussions.

Yep, maybe that’s why they pushed Trump so hard: for his expertise at getting out of legal hot water, which he has been in and is still in for decades.

A super PAC run by close allies to President-elect Donald Trump is under FEC scrutiny for discrepancies in a filing it made during the presidential campaign, drawing renewed attention to a watchdog group’s complaint alleging it funneled improper payments to Steve Bannon, Trump’s campaign CEO and now his chief strategist.


Wha is ‘pay to play’ again?

Anyhow here’s hoping Reince n Paul get asked the Bannon question again (considering the discovery) .

Whatever the new answer is also should be a part of an attack ad.

On Oct. 6, the Campaign Legal Center, a non-partisan voting rights and campaign finance watchdog, …

Piggybacking on John Oliver’s show from Sunday, if any of you have the wherewithal, donate to groups like this. Or Planned Parenthood. Or NAACP. Or the National Resources Defense Fund. Etc. Here’s the list John mentioned and why they’re important (warning - pop-up “sign up with your e-mail” window, which can be closed).

We will need all the watchdogging and private support for rights that we can get, once Trump, Pence, and Bannon are in charge.

And if you want to have fun with it as Oliver said, make your donations in the name of someone from Trump’s campaign. I am making mine to the Southern Poverty Law Center and ACLU in Bannon’s name. Also I subscribed to The NY Times and WaPo.

I am seriously skeptical that Bannon makes it to the Inauguration. He is reviled by both the left and the right, albeit for different reasons. But the resulting outrage and pressure behind the scenes in what is already an extremely rocky (fucked up) transition is going to make keeping him on board too much of a liability for even Trump.

Of course, Trump might not realize that there are going to many in the GOP who want him gone (so they call deal with a President Pence) just yet. And that is going to be a real problem, very quickly. Trump,and his “advisers” just don’t have the reach to staff up the Executive Branch. And with the apparent purge of Christie going on (how in the world did it take till this point for Kuchner’s outrage to become known?? Was he completely unaware that Christie was the transition guy for a long time??), they will have an even smaller pool. Because its not just that Christie knew more people…its that people see how monumentally screwed up that shift was, and why it occurred and they want no part of being on that Hinderberg disaster.

Yeah, I just signed up for a monthly donation to the ACLU. I sincerely hope I get a card.

They’re not smart enough to know how stupid and amateurish they are.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
