Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

her voice is bizarre

no i saw that clemenza. it's more her performance that is ... intense.

never not reading an article (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-blame-agenda-stalls-236508) that opens with:

"This account of White House infighting is based on interviews with more than two dozen Trump aides, confidants and others close to his administration, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Yeah--she's a little...out there. (Had never heard of her before this.)

She's a decently sized character in the Robert Durst HBO documentary. The defense made durst look sympathetic compared to her - sexism probably also played a large factor but I thought her name looked familiar

So, it's gloves off and Trump is going after Ryan? This is beautiful.

Trump should be careful, Ryan is *ripped*

they should have sex

take it to the gay thread, romeo

really wish more people would just leave the fuckboy Prez out and just publicly put Bannon on blast. Freedom Caucus had some good barbed comebacks to his autocratic ultimatums

Folks, I want to be clear: this is not on President Trump. No one expected a businessman to completely understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process. How would he know which individuals upon whom he would be able to rely?

this is such a deranged perspective

I enjoy how his handlers continually insist that we should be ok giving the dude a handicap four times the size of any previous modern President

like his lack of experience isn't evidence that we need to give him more leeway, it's evidence that he shouldn't be doing this job, period.

this lady seems to think that ryan could have satisfied the freedom caucus. she goes back and forth between saying his failure to get those votes was due to incompetence and implying that he failed because he didn't "have the president's back."

day one. i'm gonna repeal obamacare. thousands of muslims celebrating in jersey city on 9/11. obama was born in kenya, i tellya. voter fraud to the tune of three million, my inauguration crowd was bigger, i'm a billionaire, paul manafort and michael flynn were barely part of my campaign, those five black kids are guilty. hail to the chief

On Sunday morning, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" that the President's tweet to tune into a show that would skewer Ryan was merely "coincidental," and that Trump was trying to do his friend Pirro a favor, not insinuate Ryan should resign.

You're just looking at things from the wrong angle.

wtf

I know that none of u put 2 and 2 together before, why would you, there's professionals for that, but trust me,like I've said a thousand times it's 5, and you've made money on it being 5, and it's crazy the future success we're gonna have with it being 5. Polls are already showing we're killing it with 5. I like this Pirro woman, she knows it's 5 too.

i read "Then, with the legislation teetering, Kushner left town for a two-day ski trip to Aspen" and "Adding to the hurt feelings, the three did not receive phone calls informing them that they did not get the positions before the hires were publicly announced" and hope that the POTUS got a cut of his son-in-law's $400,000,000 sale of 666 5th Avenue to the Chinese and pray that we repeal the estate tax

still a house being built on sand at this point but...

Balance of power shifting away from Priebus and Bannon: http://m.sfgate.com/politics/article/Trump-taps-Kushner-to-lead-overhaul-of-government-11029365.php

Ah, that just sounds like the usual thing that happens. It being his son-in-law is the fun touch.

The Judge Jeanine video is one of the funniest, most preposterous things I have seen in ages!

Has it been established that Trump knew she was going to say those things, when he told people to watch it? Or is it believed to be coincidence?

Trump claims coincidence.

So he knew she was going to say those things then.

"savage mules" in characteristic form

meanwhile, something the chattering classes don't give a shit about

@ggreenwald
Some pundits confused Trump's touted "non-interventionism" with "pacifism." This was based in confusion & ignorance

In sum: Although precise numbers are difficult to obtain, there seems little question that the number of civilians being killed by the U.S. in Iraq and Syria — already quite high under Obama — has increased precipitously during the first two months of the Trump administration. Data compiled by the site Airwars tells the story: The number of civilians killed in Syria and Iraq began increasing in October under Obama but has now skyrocketed in March under Trump.

i don't know what this means for trump just thought i'd put it here.

What it means to him is that he inherited a mess.

If only Obama hadn't abruptly stopped shopping at Foot Locker, such a bad (or sick) guy.

Good mourning!

not really a new phenomenon, this country's full of ghostly half empty malls. but now it's Official, I guess

XP Is civilian feeling in the middle east still influenced by the going after the oil comments? So this would be adding to that wouldn't it?
Geneva convention etc thought of as passé by the orange one?

And now the Senate Intel folks want to talk to Kushner:

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/27/us/politics/senate-jared-kushner-russia.html?referer=

Until now, the White House had acknowledged only an early December meeting between Mr. Kislyak and Mr. Kushner, which occurred at Trump Tower and was also attended by Michael T. Flynn, who would briefly serve as the national security adviser.

Later that month, though, Mr. Kislyak requested a second meeting, which Mr. Kushner asked a deputy to attend in his stead, officials said. At Mr. Kislyak’s request, Mr. Kushner later met with Sergey N. Gorkov, the chief of Vnesheconombank, which the United States placed on its sanctions list after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia annexed Crimea and began meddling in Ukraine.

In terms of further 'hmmm,' Schindler referred to a 2015 story of his regarding a bank employee arrested for espionage; someone else brought up the fact that Gorkov graduated from a Russian spy academy in 1994 or so. Again, who knows.

"A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official."

The chain store shutdown/mall clearout thing seems almost like a delayed reaction after the first wave following 2008.

What has Kushner really did in business but spend his daddy's money in a billionaire version of flip this house?

he's certainly done much for hot bathing suit business:

the republican president is shaking up washington by violating the constitution. why do republicans hate the constitution?

I got to think Kushner getting that gig is a pretty good chuckle to the black belt six sigma types out there.

'Spending daddy's money' is the new 'legitimately demonstrating basic business competence'.

not so funny for 18F and USDS, xp

maybe he can have his daddy's old jail cell?*

*obligatory 'imagine the collective fox/koch nation epilepsy if barry "the shariah" soetero appointed his son-in-law to lead the federal government?' sore loser reminder

USDS is hollowing out from what I hear although I guess they just made new sweatshirts with emoji on them so maybe I'm just TOMA as usual

18F is now subordinate to the new Tech Transition Service at GSA, so they've sort of "burrowed in"

Direct from Nunes's spokesperson. Which seems a little ill-advised if you're trying to tamp down speculation:
