27th Weak of the Trumpanzy!

The headline is misleading. "No change" isn't the same thing as "No change until we hear what we specifically need to do."

I wouldn't be surprised if there is no follow-up from the White House and that there, indeed, is no change. Coming as an uncoordinated tweet as it did, it looks like it might have been just a "fake news" Trump bone to his base, which won't bother to check on whether it actually was implemented or not.

Top GOP senator warns firing Mueller and Sessions would be ‘beginning of the end’ of Trump

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Thursday drew a bright red line for President Donald Trump when it comes to any decision he makes to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions or special counselor Robert Mueller.

Speaking with CNN’s Manu Raju, Graham said there would be “holy hell” to pay if Trump fired his embattled attorney general, while suggesting the consequences for the president could be even more dire if he went through with firing Mueller.

“If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay,” Graham stated bluntly. “Any effort to go after Mueller could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency, unless Mueller did something wrong.”

Graham also said he was working on bipartisan legislation stating that a special prosecutor who is investigating the president cannot be fired by the president without “judicial review of the firing.”

“We need a check and balance here,” Graham explained. “The law is above any presidential red line.”

‘A shiv in the ribs’: Kellyanne Conway throws Reince Priebus under the bus for leak of Scaramucci financials

White House counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway on Monday asserted that White House Communication Director Anthony Scaramucci had been demoralized because he was forced to fill out financial disclosure forms before taking a government job.

After Scaramucci’s disclosure forms were leaked this week, he fired back on Twitter with a message that suggests White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus was behind the leak.

“The most important part of Anthony’s tweet is when he talked about the FBI and the DOJ,” Conway told Fox & Friends. “He’s making clear that even though these documents are eventually procurable publicly that somebody doesn’t want him here. And somebody is trying to get in his way and scare him off from working here, which is a huge mistake.”

“There are leaks, and then there are people using the press to shiv each other in the ribs,” she continued. “That’s different than a leak. A leak is, ‘Did you see the memo Kellyanne put out on this matter? Did you hear what Jared said in the senior staff meeting?’ That’s a classic leak.”

Fox News host Steve Doocy noted that the “elephant in the room” was whether or not “Reince Priebus is the big leaker.”

“Leakers are easier to figure out than they may think,” Conway replied. “The West Wing is a very small place.”

I think that's what the JCS was getting at. :)
 
President Donald Trump raged that three Republicans and 48 Democrats had “let the American people down” after a dramatic late-night vote saw a slimmed-down attempt to repeal aspects of the Affordable Care Act fail.

Three Republican senators—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John McCain—voted against the so-called “skinny” repeal, which aimed at scaling back some of the more controversial provisions of Obamacare.

McCain, who has an ongoing war of words with Trump and revealed last week that he was suffering from brain cancer, cast the decisive vote against the bill. In total, 51 senators—the three rogue Republicans, plus all 48 Democratic senators—voted against the repeal, while 49 Republicans voted in favor.

The bill constituted Trump’s third failed attempt to repeal even part of Obamacare. In the early hours of Friday morning, the president tweeted his anger at the failure and said he would now “let Obamacare implode.”

Reince Preibus position untenable after Anthony Scaramucci attack


The Friday cover of the New York Post pretty much summed up the ongoing war of attrition in the White House, and going by the attack launched by White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci on President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, it’s not hard to guess who is not likely to survive the unrest.

Chief of Staff vs Communications Director? Why aren't people wondering why 'The Mooch" can keep his job?
 
‘He can’t fire anybody’: Republican explains why Bannon and Priebus should tell Scaramucci to ‘piss off’

The former spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Anthony Scaramucci is woefully unqualified for — and should be disqualified from — his job as White House communications director before he officially starts.

Scaramucci called a reporter this week and gave a lengthy and profane interview attacking White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and chief of staff Reince Priebus, who he accused of being a leaker.

The financier-turned-White House official later said he mistakenly trusted the reporter, who said Scaramucci never told him the conversation was off the record — and former Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said the interview was full of inexcusable mistakes.

“A, he does not know what a leak is, B, he does not know what the law is, C, he doesn’t know what levels of attribution are, which is on the record and off the record,” Tyler told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Scaramucci is selling his stake in SkyBridge Capital, but the transaction isn’t final and he may be ineligible to receive a capital gains tax deferment after he was passed over for an administration position in January.

“He shouldn’t even be in the White House — he has a conflict of interest that hasn’t even been cleared,” Tyler said. “He can’t fire anybody.

Oops. I see it was already pointed out that he doesn't actually have a job in the White House yet.

Might he have difficulty gaining security clearance? Under normal circumstances, anyway? Sure, Tromp can override any clearance denial. Would such an override be a warning sign of Mooch's vulnerability?

Public profanity isn't covered in qualifications for a security clearance, I don't think (this is all way beyond the pale of propriety in government), and I don't know what all he has in his background that would bring clearance into question. Other than the sale of his business to the Chinese. If they pay more than a reasonable rate for it, it will look like they are buying access to the White House (which they probably are--with good reason to think they are getting a deal).

Emerson Collective Acquires Majority Stake in The Atlantic

Investor and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs will share ownership of the magazine with David Bradley.
David G. Bradley, the chairman and owner of Atlantic Media, is announcing this morning that he is selling a majority stake in The Atlantic to Emerson Collective, an organization led by philanthropist and investor Laurene Powell Jobs. Bradley will retain a minority stake in The Atlantic and will continue as chairman and operating partner for at least three to five years. In a letter to his staff, Bradley wrote that Emerson Collective will most likely assume full ownership of The Atlantic within five years.

Jeff Bezos, boss at Amazon (and briefly the world's richest guy) personally owns WaPo. Laurene Jobs, new owner of the venerable (and Tromp-unfriendly) Atlantic, is the widow of Steve Jobs. 'Twill be interesting to see if more high-tech mega-money goes into FAKE (real and dangerous) NEWS organizations.
 
He thinks that the federal government is like the Apprentice. He will continue to attempt to destroy anyone who doesn't totally submit to his will. That's a good quality if you're the dictator of a banana republic but a recipe for disaster for the citizens of the United States of America.

Luckily (increasingly), the operable word is "attempt." Increasingly his outrageousness is leading into just folks giving him the bird and ignoring him.

My money is still on departure via stroke. His ego can't take a lot more of this, I think.

Donald Trump Endorses Police Brutality In Speech To Cops

The president said law enforcement officers shouldn’t protect suspects’ heads when putting them into police cars.
“When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, and I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” Trump said.

“Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head, I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’” he added.

His remarks received significant applause.

So you're a thug until you prove you aren't, and even then. You're guilty until proven guilty. Every asshole (LEO term for suspect) should get a nice dose of whomp-ass when detained. Soften them up a bit. Oh sorry, it's not 'them', it's 'us'. Next time you jaywalk, expect a concussion.

IRL this will lead to lots of lawsuits for jurisdictions to defend. Send in the lawyers. Hey, is Tromp just drumming-up business for legal sharks?
