And everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief at the knowledge that an unapologetic racist’s job in the White House is safe. Because that’s where we’re at as a country.
SAFE … for now. That means by lunchtime, we’ll all be holding our breath. Why not just appoint Sean Hannity as COS and be done with it. That way we’ll be closer to Celebrity Administration.
The level of dysfunction in the WH, and the new moves (omg John Bolten!) leaves me spinning my head as to whether this deplorable dude is better off in or out of the admin - given who/what could take his place. And even typing that makes my head spin.
DJT Whitehouse - always worse than what one can imagine.
If you want to feel better, close your eyes, after reading Maggie’s praise of Trump’s mastery.
Just a reminder to Mr. Mueller…
IT’S FRIDAY…
“This is no way to run a railroad!”
How many Scaramucci’s has it been?
Oh. I’m sooooo relieved. Now I can start planning things again.
Trump loves to hire and fire people for an appreciative audience. Please, someone, for the sake of the country, give him his old tv show back if he will leave the White House now.
Kelly told staff, “I’m in.”
In what?
Yes, things are definitely very good when you have a “truce” with your aide-de-camp. Because your closest personal assistant, the one guy you trust with the power to kick everybody else out of your office and call you on your shit, can totally do his job under such circumstances.
Very stable genius administration.
It is all about the timing of the distraction.
OT: American Gulag
Republicans Say Forced Labor Is Good for Detained Immigrants in Letter Defending Private Prison
GEO Group is being sued for paying aliens $1 a day or less while they’re locked up. GOP lawmakers say there’s nothing wrong with that.
Private-prison companies that force undocumented immigrant detainees to work for little or no money have a powerful new group of advocates: Eighteen members of Congress.
The members, all Republicans, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Department of Labor, calling for them to help private-prison company GEO Group defend itself in lawsuits by former detainees.
Trumpian chaos-making, intended to distract. Eyes on the Prize.

Oh so much dysfunction (we already knew) in that article - both in terms of what is being written about - but also in the writing itself.
Contrary to the notion that Mr. Trump is surrounded by sycophants, the president has aides who are willing to say “no.” But he has increasingly grown frustrated when they do.
After describing that this is why (being told no) in essence that Trump got rid of Tillerson, is planning to get rid of McMaster and Kelly. Which leaves Trump surrounded by Trump-imposed sycophancy.
Sheez.

That only means, like a death row inmate, the ‘governor’ gave him a repreive! Maybe 1 more month and you can put a fork in him!
