The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

The voice memos app on the iPhone will record forever, even if the main screen is “off” (like by hitting the power button once).

I’d be surprised to learn that the Android version doesn’t work the same way.

Turn on the app, hit record, place the phone where the mic can easily pick up sounds (like in your hand while you walk around or talk or in a shirt pocket) and you can record your whole day with no one ever thinking about it.

I hope she has a lot of shit - to share with Meuller.

Would be surprised if she hasn’t caught Mueller’s attention. What’s Trump gonna say then: Democrat conspiracy?

The fact a person who doesn’t belong in the Situation Room could take a recording device in there indicates an attitude towards security that is absolutely negligent, possibly criminally so.

Well, based on the 17 angry Democrats trend and the complete subjugation of the Republican party to Trump, “Democrat” has been redefined to mean “anyone opposed to Trump” which would now include Omarosa.

Ghouliani is making noises about how the tapes were probably made illegally, but absent some other law in play specifically regarding recordings in the White House, DC is a one party consent jurisdiction.

There may be such a law, I don’t know.

Maybe that Omarosa was a spy, hired by Hitlery and Obummer and planted as a mole way way back during The Apprentice, so they could use her after he became SCOTUS?

NETA I guess it hinges on whether the tape was made in the Situation Room.

Given the massive respect he has for black people in general and women in particular, that is a pretty obvious call.

Waitaminnit — when did he subsume the entire Supreme Court? Is he The Borg, or (more likely) The Blob?

Unless they strip search everybody or have metal detectors at the door, there is no way to stop someone who wants to break the law in this fashion.

Knowing his level of awareness, I’m guessing that he thinks the Situation Room is any room in the WH with a television that he can watch Jersey Shore on.

Any person willing to break the law in this fashion shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

So much to enjoy about the Omarosa contretemps, not the least of which is that it’s a 100% self-inflicted Trumpian scandal. No Democrats were harmed in the production of this bullshit; pass the popcorn.

“Only the best people”.

So why the hell were they using the Situation Room for a personnel discussion?

Because they had one hell of a* Situation.*

I agree. But most secure areas don’t have metal detectors and strip searches. It doesn’t indicate a lack of security.

Peter Strzok got fired this morning.

As a district court judge, Brett Kavanagh ruled that people who are mentally incapacitated don’t have the right to self-determination on whether or not to have surgery.

Many props to Miller’s uncle. At least someone in his family was raised right.
