NEW: Ty Cobb says in leaked emails that he&Kelly are the "adults in the room"—and explains why he's repping Trump https://t.co/dFoOIrHwOU

"Dude U have no idea! I walked away from $4 million annually to do this, had to sell my entire retirement account for major capital losses and lost a s---load to try to protect the third pillar of democracy."

"You should check out my record, Chairman of the Grand Canyon Trust, largest donor to Mercy Corps, significant donor to Historically black colleges, Feed the Children and other needy and important groups to the tuber of over $4 million in last 10 years, among others."

"Three pillars of govt. All deserve a defense," he continued. "Particularly with phony allegations and fake news. I am on be here for long but will be I my piece against bullshit Russian bull---- that hurts us now and is totally political limiting Russian cooperation against NK. This s--- is real and real time. Got to go: Best, Ty."

"Kelly & _I_"

That's the adult?

vigorous defense

did adult ty cobb censor "shit" over and over or did adult businessinsider.com censor it?

Asked later by Jetton to "set the record straight" and explain how Cobb is "justifying" his role at the White House to himself and others, Cobb said he "can say assertively that more adults in the room will be better. Me and Kelly among others."

Going from this to "'Me and Kelly' are the 'adults in the room'" is some shameful shit.

A company aggregates and clickbaits to get eyeballs? Never!

Meantime, the standard bearer of his party

Source briefed on WH mtg: Trump is okay with 3 mo CR and 3 mo debt limit increase...agreeing w Dems

— Mike DeBonis (@mikedebonis) September 6, 2017

Trump overruled wishes of all Rs in the room...Ryan, Cornyn, McConnell, McCarthy, Mnuchin...who wanted longer term extension.

— Mike DeBonis (@mikedebonis) September 6, 2017

(Cornyn didn't attend, he clarifies later, but still, if true, roffle.)

why do sixty-somethings like Cobb and Bannon think they get to say "dude"?

Because saying "Jack" would be too on the nose?

Art of the Deal, updated:

When your counterparts make an opening bid, accept all their terms immediately and go to North Dakota.

The end.

lol

it's almost as if he is completely ignorant of how legislative process/maneuvering works

Nunes will never be a goodie and his face should never be more than 5 inches away from balled-up fists

I actually do think this says a lot.

Aide briefed on WH mtg says @IvankaTrump entered Oval to say hello, and GOP leaders were visibly annoyed by her presence.

— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) September 6, 2017

gop leaders... otm???

I read in one of those pity party pieces that she's been doing this very much on purpose since Kelly changed the locks.

so... i'm really confused about what just happened earlier; with the disaster relief / debt ceiling etc...

Trump had a stroke last night; he's a Democrat now

y'all help me get my head all the way around on this. I understand why the Dems were pushing for a 3 month hike -- so they could make their support in December contingent on things like DACA and I guess health care subsidies maybe? but why was the GOP pushing for 12? was that just to try and prevent that Dem manuever in December, or was it to make it easier for them to focus on tax reform, or is there another reason I'm missing?

Trump just wants some shit passed asap - Dems offered a deal that positions them well for future negotiations in December and he took it like a moron.

was that just to try and prevent that Dem manuever in December

yes

they don't want to have this same exact battle in 3 months, they want to split everything up

a debt ceiling hike just requires a majority, right? meaning the only reason Dem votes are even needed is because of deficit hardline loons like Rand Paul and Mike Lee and Ted Cruz?

It all gets better and better here

Pretty incredible. @RobertBryan4 reports the meeting was deadlocked until Trump spoke up, sided with Dems https://t.co/qwmijVLkHb pic.twitter.com/KJ1D4m1raZ

"Art of the deal, Paul, I told ya! And fuck you Mitch!"

a debt ceiling hike just requires a majority, right?

it requires a 2/3rds majority iirc, so they will need Dem votes no matter what

"We had a very good meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer," Trump said. "We agreed to a three-month extension on debt ceiling, which they consider to be sacred - very important - always we'll agree on debt ceiling automatically because of the importance of it."

lol waht

I'm told by the time Ivanka came into wh meeting GOP leaders were shellshocked by @POTUS cutting unexpected deal w Dems in front of them

— Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) September 6, 2017

Ah, she just arrived too darn late. I'm guessing Jared was opposed to it too, according to an "anonymous source w/knowledge of his thinking" https://t.co/6ukooNYa6A

i have to imagine the only reason the GOP isn't eager to impeach this guy is that they'd fear losing the Trump base forever, because he's fucking them over so much, either directly or inadvertently.

STOP IT

can't

okay lol

that's the first one that i got a chuckle outta

Schumer, hair down

I came in late today, how did Yam switch parties?

He better call Chucky with the good hair

Isn't this what Ryan, McConnell, et. al wanted in January -- a prez who can make deals with Schumer?

anyway, Sparklepants gets it:

Trump’s insults of Schumer were insipid and unworthy. But surely there must be a middle ground between that name-calling and “Chuck and Nancy,” as Trump was referring to Pelosi and Schumer after a meeting today where he threw the GOP leadership over board and agreed to the Democrats’ proposal for a 3-month deal on the debt limit and funding of the government. This will give the Democrats leverage to push for concessions at the end of the year (including DACA untethered to enforcement measures) and complicate the job of the GOP leadership when it’s trying to focus on the Herculean task of passing tax reform. This comment, via Axios, from “a Republican close to leadership” may be too dire, but you get the drift.
