If you’re a White House adviser, but you don’t think you should tell the President he’s making a “bad move,” or try to stop him in any way, what, exactly, are you good for?

If you want a real treat, read George Conway on Trump’s historical importance - i.e., akin to being in the “rubble” with 9/11 responders. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/07/29/losttrumphistory-trumps-claims-become-george-conway-pushed-meme/?utm_term=.3685162db08e
For those who can’t access WaPo, my favorite:
Trump painted the Mona Lisa and gave the painting away because she wasn’t his type #LostTrumpHistory

I love how Mags, in making the story about their objections to Trump saying racist stuff, just gives all the staffers trying to fig leaf their reputations with her with these leaks a pass on working for a racist and Trump a pass on being one.
The New York Times forbids reporters from drawing of any inferences about motive or prejudice from people’s actions to preserve their Olympian detachment and objectivity. And the result is that the actual racism of racists is simply erased from existence in their coverage.
This rule only applies to Republican politicians and media figures, of course.

Trump was the first to summit Mt. Everest but was robbed of the distinction by some crooked person named “Hillary”.#LostTrumpHistory

Memo to the White House staff, in simple sentences and vocabulary that they can, hopefully, understand:
Trump – much bad man. Not give fuck.

John Kelly did that (for a while at least), and it didn’t end well, despite being unpleasant for everyone involved.
Can we discuss why this is for a moment? Why the MSM has such a GOP bias? The usual reasons: profits, Trump as cash cow, being tarred as the ‘liberal media’, (how many years old now?) but they never seem to be in ‘disarray’ even though I’m sure that 90% of them are freaking out that they have to defend this POS. Is it just that they don’t talk to the MSM? Never break ranks?

I notice they never talk about the morals of such attacks - coming as they do from the President - focusing only on its political aspects. Gee…if he only had the ear of Christians who could set him straight…

They said Trump’s main source of frustration with the congressman of color stemmed from the House Oversight Committee’s decision to subpoena White House officials for their use of personal accounts for work-related business.
Who decides to mention someone as Congressman of Color?
Also, Her EMails.

O/T: the New Yorker has their big Dershowitz article up.
Free bonus of a super-creepy op-ed he wrote in 1997 trying to drop the age of consent so that what he’s clearly guilty of wouldn’t be a crime that’s making the rounds.

Yes. Eric Boehlert has an article about this. If everybody clams up as a united front. There’s no reaction. There’s only the raw facts. Hence no meta. No story.

Maybe the Dems should try it. Nah, silly me; impossible.
What is the point of advising a person that only values his own opinions or cautioning that person if he never thinks he’s wrong? Trump’s going to keep up the crap because his window on the world opens upon those that think it’s cool. He has no peripheral view of those that detest it. Doesn’t want one either.

“Several White House officials concur…”
Getting tired of all this. Who’s left in this Administration that is capable of and willing to think anything through in this fashion? And why, oh why do they not have the guts to walk out the door and go on record saying just EXACTLY what this brutish lout has said and done to damage the republic? Cowards, the lot of them.
