“There’s no doubt that keeping members focused on investigations detracts from our legislative agenda, detracts from what we’re trying to deliver for the American people, he told reporters, according to Politico.
The biggest problem is keeping the Orange Shitgibbon focused.
Hmmm… but they always lie.
Where is Zeno when you need him.
"We all believe that a government shutdown is not ideal,” Short added, per Politico".
Yea, but if we don;t do something about the debt, we’re going to be Greece!
At least that’s what they used to say.
Wow. Trump is getting all meta… he’s reached Parmenides level today, completing the circle.
You think you have problems? Imagine how hard it was for Hitler to get domestic policy done when the Allied forces were advancing on Berlin.
We have to give Hitler credit. He did kill Hitler.
Whoa… I think this is the most dangerous tweet I’ve seen from Trump:
Marc Short, the White House’s director of legislative affairs, acknowledged on Monday evening that the Russia probe has distracted the administration from its legislative agenda.
Oh wow bummer man. Really sux to be you. And us. Mostly us. But you too, a little. P.S. Fuck yourself.
@centralasiaexpat Says he who kissed Salman’s arse, and ‘clinched’ the deal for more arms. Another grand deflection.
the fake arms deal with KSA is really amazing. I bet Trump doesn’t know—the whole thing was a feel good moment, special-made for Presidents with dementia.
"…***.there are certain priorities that he campaigned on***, the American people want,” Short told reporters
In considering the Maryland judge’s decision, the 4th Circuit zeroed in on the issue of Trump’s statements about banning Muslims. During the first hour of the hearing, ***Trump’s acting solicitor general, Jeffrey Wall, repeatedly argued that the Maryland judge had relied too heavily on Trump’s campaign statements.*** He described the ban as ***merely a handful of statements by the candidate,*** rather than a central piece of Trump’s campaign, and said ***the Maryland judge had mistakenly conducted a “psychoanalysis” of the president based on these campaign comments***

Which is it? What Trump said in his campaign represents promises and commitments to the electorate, and citizens voted for him based on those statements? Or Trump's campaign statements are merely a handful of toss-off trifles, to be ignored, not to be construed as his intended policy pursuits?Who’s he kidding? If he stops tweeting the print media will return to its death spiral. Forget coal, he’s single-handedly kept the archaic newspaper industry alive with his incoherent rantings! #MAGA!
Where are the Democrats? If anybody hears anything, let us know.
This is just insane. Not only is he completely tone deaf as to how damaging his Twitter habit is, he’s also broadcasting to the world that nobody in the White House can convince him to stop. JFC he’s legitimately out of his mind.
“White House Aide Says Russia Probe Makes It Hard To Focus On Policy”
Vladimir will be soooooo disappointed.
Short also indicated that Trump will push hard for some of his budget priorities, like including funding for a border wall and increasing military spending, per Politico.
Luckily, and just like when trump “pulls out”, when he “pushes hard” nobody notices.
To the right: YOU HAVE ALL 3 BRANCHES. SOLVE THE DAMN PROBLEMS AND STOP LECTURING US. ELIMINATE TERRORISM, POVERTY, DISEASE. JUST DO IT.

This tweet is a legitimate story in its own right. Essentially he is saying the MSM wants him to stop tweeting. That is delusional. There are young reporters who wouldn’t know how to find a story without his tweets. He has saved the MSM by his toilet tweeting.
