Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

The cocksucker Bannon quote will get the headlines but open attacks from two senior staff figures is mind-boggling

“They’ll all be fired by me,” he said. “I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I’ll fire tomorrow. I’ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus—if you want to leak something—he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.” The issue, he said, was that he believed Priebus had been worried about the dinner because he hadn’t been invited. “Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said.

Confidence!

Asked Johnson what if in conference talks break down, and House passes skinny:

"That's entirely possible, but what we want is that chance"

“Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said.

just cause reince is paranoid doesn't mean the mooch isn't out to get him

"im not steve bannon, im not trying to suck my own cock" is a quote for the ages

I'm w Alfred, idgaf about any of this cabinet in-fighting crap, it means nothing you guys all get the national shit-tv-show you deserve

If Kremlinology had been this bizarre, I would have found the 80s a lot more entertaining.

Anthony Scaramucci tells me his statement will be coming shortly.

Graham's a shitbag but you can see why his sense of humor/flashes of irony appeal to the beltway press

“If I don’t get those assurances I’m a ‘no’ because I’m not going to vote for a pig in a poke,” Graham said, adding he would happily defend such a vote if he doesn’t get the guarantee he is looking for. “I do this with joy in my heart.”

He actually delivered that last line rather well.

Probably all that needs to be said in the end

Source close to Bannon and Scaramucci, to me: "It’s not a problem for [Mooch] because the president doesn't give a shit."

And he doesn't seem to either.

I sometimes use colorful language. I will refrain in this arena but not give up the passionate fight for @realDonaldTrump's agenda. #MAGA

.@JohnCornyn said an important announcement from the house coming soon

— Leigh Ann Caldwell (@LACaldwellDC) July 27, 2017

Russia sanctions pass Senate 98-2. appears veto proof

yeah if he vetoes that it's going to get overridden in both Houses

I can guess who the three no votes were in the house, no idea who the two in the Senate were...? Rand Paul probably

he voted twice

The two NO votes on Russia sanctions:

1) @RandPaul
2) @BernieSanders https://t.co/0yEA1Zsiub

— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) July 27, 2017

the fuck?

oh he disagreed w/ Iran sanctions that were thrown in

Trump, Putin and (for some weird reason) a bunch of husky guys in red MAGA hats made in China are going to be really mad.

what's the over/under as to whether Trump knows the override vote exists

Trump doesn't know anything

Just asked a dependably unflappable admin official about @RyanLizza-@Scaramucci situation. The response: "Whole WH is freaking out."

I love how Ryan's all "Not our problem!"

Easy for him to say

A lone voice for Reince: @PhilipRucker and I just ran into Newt outside MSNBC, who says he advises him to stick it out, tune out the noise.

— Annie Karni (@anniekarni) July 27, 2017

Newt knows a lot about noise.

Ya think?

(This has obviously been El Tomboto's point for months now.)

Great so this is gonna pass and drag on even longer

Xp

whats ironical to me is all the white house leaks are a byproduct of trumps awful lord of the flies management style. if you have harmony at home you're gonna have fewer leaks..

White House disarray poses something of a catch-22. As much as I enjoy these idiots infighting, each firing invites the chance they'll be replaced by someone competent. Which is a scary thought, except that the person doing the firing would be incompetent, too, indicating the replacement would likely be just as incompetent as the person they're replacing. Most likely we'll end up wth a fun mix of chaos agents and useless blobs, with the chief executive already the pinnacle of that special combo.

Every contestant eliminated on this season of the Apprentice makes it more difficult to apply the 25th Amendment when needed, in case something really goes awry (Trump orders a nuclear first strike, Mattis refuses, etc).

this is going to end in a way nobody expects, something stupid like DJT slipping in the shower and hitting his head and going into a coma or mutant insects coming from the soil to enslave us

LOL the wiki entry for 25th amendment includes this corker:
Upon becoming the White House Chief of Staff in 1987, Howard Baker was advised by his predecessor's staff to be prepared for a possible invocation of the Twenty-fifth Amendment[35] due to Reagan's perceived laziness and ineptitude.[36][37]

Those guys must look back now and laugh.
