Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

Preibus, another piece of human wreckage.

fuck me trump really has just learned about ellipses at age 71 hasn't he?

so now we're not even gonna have anybody in charge of Homeland Security? great

He should fire everyone. Everyone! And then he should hang himself in a closet. But leave a really, really angry note!

The fact that he did actually fire someone is the most surprising thing.

Reince had hoped to remain for a few days. But POTUS, urged on by a number of advisers saying "make one move or the other," pulled plug

what remotely qualified person would a) want the job and b) be able to pass the Senate

xp

This was my immediate question. Maybe the Mooch can double up.

Ha, "Reince in Peace."

Might as well nominate the Hulkster.

Twitter really should ban him. I mean, what would he do then? he would have no outlet

no incentive, Trump has been great for Twitter

yeah apparently he is pretty adverse to in-person conflict, so firing-by-twitter is vmic

Pence is now his only guy connected to the GOP establishment/Congress, right? And it doesn't seem like anyone on the Hill listens to Pence.

tech companies are the worst

His shit talking of Sessions has been louder than about this choad. Wonder why Reince went first? Did people talk him out of Sessions? How long will that last now that he smells blood?

Reddit!

too complicated

yeah they're not doing well, but banning Trump... one, can you imagine the agita? and it was giving them traffic

lmao the idea of Trump trying to use Reddit...

The crowd of officers erupted in cheers.

fuck, this is shameful

He really doesn't have a deep bench, does he?

holy fuck though I just thought... do you think he's ever seen r/The_Donald? someone must've shown him

he doesn't read

Now that Reince and Spicer are out, Speaker Ryan is without a strong ally in the West Wing

Gonna be some congressional summer vacation ...

Imagine reading r/The_Donald to Trump while he sits in a La-Z-Boy, robe partially open

guess who's sucking their own cock now

Fuckin boom

Bret Stephens just wondered why Trump hadn't asked Sean Hannity to take the job.

And, of course, this wipes the shit stain of the health care bill debacle. He probably fired Preibus just to get the news out of the headlines.

I bet he did! I bet that's why Mooch was mad that dinner was reported on. I bet Sean said no and Trump asked "who else we got? hm, how about this guy already in an important position, what about him?"

essentially this just ramps up GOP in-fighting. with the collapse of healthcare legislation and no discernible interest in policy, the White House is in the process of walling itself off entirely from the party and Congress - they aren't going to communicate, they aren't going to cooperate, and each is going to view the other with distrust and incomprehension. Sounds good!

Yeah I was thinking that. "Why aren't they talking about me?"

lol at this pre-written obit https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/28/us/politics/reince-priebus-white-house-trump.html

Comparison I keep hearing over the moons is how the Carter admin and a Democratic Congress failed to get along. True?

This is totally Trump taking control of the news cycle narrative.

Plus Reince had publicly said he wanted to stay "through healthcare" so guess what, that's done now bye bye

xp

The GOP should ask McCain where he is getting his cancer treatment.

Reince: I will stay here through hell or highwa ...
Trump: Through healthcare, you said?

Comparison I keep hearing over the moons is how the Carter admin and a Democratic Congress failed to get along. True?

an imperfect analogy but yeah there's some parallels. Obviously major differences in character and goals between Trump and Carter.

I wonder if Reince feels it was all worth it

It's quite incredible to me, this is how Trump and his idiots handle a prolonged period of relative stability and security! What the fuck will the first real crisis evince? And not even a big one, like, I dunno, a garbage strike or something?

i'd like to believe that after this healthcare debacle they won't try to resurrect the idea again but i'm guessing we'll see probably half a dozen or so more attempts to do some kind of repeal/replace and that chances are good that one of them will end up succeeding eventually. tho who knows if this time next year there are impeachment hearings or some other crazy sweeps week bullshit cliffhangers maybe they really do never come back this way again.

I mean, one of these guys is going to turn on Trump at some point, and drop this facade of respect about what an honor it was blah blah blah

nope. sequestration period ends Sept 1 iirc. After that they need 60 votes and no fucking way are the Senate Dems gonna cooperate at this point, look at how well Schumer's held the caucus together up to now, not even Heitkamp or Manchin have wavered.

Mrs. Mooch had the right idea.

I've read a couple of tentative Carter and Trump analogies. They don't work in part because I can't imagine (a) Hamilton Jordan bragging about Jody Powell sucking his own cock (b) Carter bragging about vagina grabbing.

lol yeah "lust in my heart" is like the opposite

Meanwhile in loonville -- oh, HOW sad.

Sessions got us into independent counsel mess. Personal friends of mine being subpoenaed. Word is I'm gonna get one. Major screw up. https://t.co/x7nD9LMe1c
