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

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

i'm sad now that priebus is gone there won't be any more leaks from the well-oiled machine

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

it's Giuliani Time

Chiefs of staff have congressional relations and understand power, hence why so many of them have been either Washington insider types (Leon Panetta, James Baker) or governors (John Sununu, Sherman Adams). John Kelly is a general and has never worked with Congress. It's a pick a moron would pick, which, well, yeah.

ccn reporting that priebus resigned yesterday

Giuliani will never clear the Senate

xp

MSNBC too.

xpost

Gingrich, maybe but he's already turned down a bunch of jobs (because he is not a total moron)

I don't think Newtie wants to be HS Director tho

wtf?? lol he did this by tweet

Goodnight sweet Preince

is this the first time a former general has been a WH Chief of Staff?

Alexander Haig might want to have a word.

Here we go!

Ryan-Priebus ally to me: next phase of Trump presidency will be warfare against GOP Congress

— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) July 28, 2017

ah, forgot he was military

xp

the funny thing about going to war with GOP is he has no weapons, no knowledge or understanding of the battlefield, and no strategy

tweets

it's all tweets

if Reince feels it was all worth it

It's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames; you can tell me when it's over if the high was worth the pain

Question re Newt: would the Gingriches live in Rome, DC, or Cobb County?

For once this guy does something useful:

What if I told you in January that only one unelected person in this photo would still have a job in 6 months? pic.twitter.com/8LiNX8kjqX

Ryan-Priebus ally tells me Trump is moving toward "an independent WH" untethered from the Republican Party

oh that'll work well

national strength party

nothing like antagonizing the only people with the power to ruin you
