The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Priebus was just shit-canned.

The GOP is now officially not in charge of anything. The idiots are running the asylum. If Paul Ryan has any sense or honor, he will start impeachment hearings.

So they will therefore do nothing.

Trump must’ve believed Mooch’s tirade. Priebus not being the leak, and the information being public information anyway was dismissed as fake news.

And of course, like any major policy or staff announcements, it was done via tweet. Jesus. Government by a 13 year old.

It freaks me out how Trump capitalizes “great leader” into “Great Leader” in that tweet. Feels a bit too North Korea-y to me. ::shivver:: It doesn’t help seeing Kelly in his general uniform.

Trump and Scaramucci have accomplished the nearly impossible - they’ve made me feel a twinge of sympathy for Reince Priebus.

During his stint at the RNC, I always felt Priebus was a massive tool. He probably still is, but getting Trumpinated by The Mooch is almost enough to make me feel sorry for him.

Trump likely thinks McCain is just a loser, what with being a prisoner of war and getting cancer. You know, things that only wimps do.

Does Kelly think he can actually bring some order to the White House staff? I mean, his combat experience in Iraq doesn’t really prepare him for that kind of vicious fighting.

I just checked Kelly’s Wikipedia page. One of the headings briefly read “Russian Puppet of Staff to President Trump” before reverting to “Chief of Staff to President Trump.”:slight_smile:

They still could, but it definitely wouldn’t be because of “honor”.

Nope. He either signs the bill into law as is or he vetoes the thing (including “pocket veto”). I wouldn’t be surprised if Occupy White House doesn’t know he can veto a bill and send it back to Congress with a written explanation of his objections. After all, tbe dumb S.O.B. obviously thinks he’s America’s Cecil B. DeMille-style pharaoh.

CNN reporting that he resigned privately yesterday. Not that this is a distinction with a difference.

Yep. But your description is a bit off. The idiots are in charge of the asylum and they’re not running it. They’re not even trying. And that includes the idiot-in-chief.

Scaramucci’s wife is divorcing him, apparently because of Trump.

Other sources are saying “she despises Trump”.

I’m finding this hilarious.

Yeh, I prefer the more liberal interpretation.

I heard someone on NPR this morning talking about all the attention on McCain and his No vote, and comparing him to that guy at work who gets added to the project at the last minute, doesn’t do any work, and winds up getting all the credit.

He got up with fleas, and deservedly so.

It angers me that he’s getting all the attention instead of Murkowski and Collins. The red state democrats who voted against it also deserve some credit.

Well, you can’t expect women to get the same level of praise as a man. That’s just crazy talk.

It’s arguable he’s actually taking the heat off of them. You can see him as either taking the credit, or taking the blame, depending on how charitable you want to be.

Yeah, fuck him. I briefly felt bad for Spicer when Trump excluded him from meeting the Pope, but again, fuck him. Anyone in the Trump admin gets no sympathy from me. Anyone who enables or cozies up to Trump gets no sympathy from me. Random schmoes who voted for him, I can with difficulty, forgive. But the professionals who join up with him … fuck them all.
