Communications Director Mooch is doing quite a job communicating about his colleagues in the White House. These quotes were on the record with a reporter! “Reince Priebus — if you want to leak something — he’ll be asked to resign very shortly. … Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac.” “I’m not Stephen K. Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he said. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the president. I’m here to serve the country.” ---

Yes, I voted for him for leader, and I voted to make him Prime Minister. He’s not perfect–I disagree with some things he’s done, and I am disappointed by some things he’s done–but, man. That’s my Prime Minister, and I am proud of him for the most part. ---

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is growing a backbone and is speaking out against Trump. My head is spinning from all the drama. > **[Graham: Firing Mueller would be 'beginning of the end' of Trump's presidency](https://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/27/lindsey-graham-trump-robert-mueller-241027)** > > Graham told reporters he planned to introduce legislation next week that would block any Trump attempts to fire the special counsel. “Any effort to go after Mueller could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency unless Mueller did something wrong,” Graham told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he outlined plans to introduce legislation next week that would move to block any Trump attempts to fire Mueller. ---

What’s the best way to get a reluctant senator to cooperate?

Lisa Murkowsk confirmed that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke contacted her after her vote against a health care bill earlier this week. The conversation reportedly involved threats of administrative retribution against her home state. I hope Murkowski tells the Trump administration to pound sand up its ass. ---

The White House is looking more like a Mafia safe house. It’s moments like these when I say “You know what, Trump voters, fuck you. I don’t even begin to want to understand what’s inside your goddamned warped brains and why you voted for that fucking psychotic imbecile.” ---
