He is wasting no time doing what Trump brought him in for. Already fired the long time number 2 official, and replaced with a compiracy theorist that used to work for Devin Nunes… those who still think that we should take the high road and let the electorate decide… Trump is going to win next election one way or another. And he is ensuring that there is enough corruption inside the Military and the Intelligence Services that those would not want any change of administration.

Hope so…but I don’t think we’re getting out of this without another one of these kinds of things happening…maybe more than once…

" The supremacists who emerged from the Greensboro trials understood they were free. … Free to work together to stockpile weapons, terrorize neighborhoods and commit violence up to and including murder—so long as their opponents were communists."

Sound familiar to anything we might be hearing today?

Thank you,
That sort of life style (having a servant of any kind) is absolutely foreign to me. So I was unfamiliar with the term…“body man”. Heck, Chez darr doesn’t even have a functioning mechanical dish washer. I do KP duty, not some machine. Nor do we have assistants to look after us. Must be nice. I guess that’s a benefit of being really really rich (or if you are president)

I dunno – maybe Melania wanted him back in the WH?

Lock him up.

Lock’em all up.

We would like to think that the POTUS absolutely needs an assistant because he (she) is busy doing the important business of Presidenting. As with so much, true of Obama (who also played basketball with his body man, Reggie Love), not of Trump.

FARA is the same law that Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort and former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates were convicted of violating.

That was then. This is now.

FARA now stands for Felons And Republicans Approved.

Or anywhere else. I have no doubt that Donnie has never lifted a finger to do any kind of domestic task. Questionable whether he even flushes his own toilet.

Well he did quote 10-15 flushes which indicates to me a certain lack of awareness of toilet functionality. I do the plumbing repair at Chez darr. Got pretty good at sweating copper pipe and rebuilding showers…and installing a toilet. Dare I ask if he wipes or if someone else does the honors?

I think that it’s what Jerry Falwell Jr. calls a “pool boy.”

Interesting to hear what Rush Limbaugh has to say about Grenell, since he is a gay man like Buttigieg and Limbaugh was not kind to the Mayor and and Democratic Presidential candidate in his comments.

Vetting before hiring is a waste of time ya see. All that matters now is unquestioning loyalty to the Master, The King… … … THE DONALD … all else is unimportant and is to be worked out later should the need arise. Pesky reporters doing actual journalism is to be frowned upon. Only Fox matters and they will skewer CNN as a liberal hot bed of the deep state.
Facts don’t matter … … …

I doubt he knows where the kitchen. Doesn’t he spend most of his time on the “throne?”

He looks way too much like a Bond or Mission Impossible government bad guy…hmmm.

So now not only is unquestioning loyalty to trump personally required to get or keep a job in government but a goodly hunk of corruption also helps. Yep, drain that swamp donnie, yer doin’ a heck’ve a job there ol’ buddy.
