By now, “Drain the Swamp” has resulted in more Trump appointees getting sacked than Obama’s. ---

It’s time to start planning a reunion of all the Trump ex-staffers. Refreshments will consist of Kool-Aid and Cheetos. But where in the world is there a venue big enough to hold all of them?? I mean, this is only seven months in. God forbid, Trump lasts four years, but if he does… what’s the biggest stadium in the USA? ---

Da Mooch is fucked, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. I guess he isn’t the large and in charge bad ass motherfucker he thought he was. But all things considered, what did he expect. If he thought it would have been different, then yeah he was stupid. ---

It took me a minute to work out the Bohemian Rhapsody references, but yeah: > [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaramouche](#): > > Scaramuccia (literally “little skirmisher”), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell’arte (comic theatrical arts). The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice. Wow! That’s so wickedly apropos that if this were fiction (and I for one still hold out hope we’ll all wake up soon), that name would be rejected as lacking plausibility and being way too over-the-top. At least I’ll feel that way until Trump names Scaramucci’s replacement, Vlad Beelzebub. ---

What are the odds that the denial of WH chaos is an accurate appraisal if the denial’s as accurate as Trump’s previous presidential tweets? Trump’s denial seems an admission to me. I don’t play n-dimensional chess very well…or at all. So it is entirely possible I’m the kind of guy who can’t see the God-Emperor’s new order. ---

I was just telling someone the other day that a good rule of thumb for Trump’s tweets is just to assume the opposite of what he’s saying. For example, Trump’s real news is fake and FAKE NEWS is real. ---

Trump will have to do it himself. He’ll come right out and say that no one can do it as good as he can do it, so he doesn’t need someone else to talk for him. After a couple of days of hilarious mistakes, he’ll be hiding in the White House looking for someone else to sell their soul for a week or two of being humiliated on national TV and screamed at by him. I’d love to say that he won’t find anyone, but we all know there will be a line out the door. ---

> [@begbert2](#): > > So what you’re saying is, because Trump is reasonably rich, he must be smart? > > I imagine that by similar logic one can conclude that Trump is handsome and well-spoken too. Karl Marx, 1844: “The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money’s properties are my – the possessor’s – properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness – its deterrent power – is nullified by money… I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless?” Just sayin’.
