US Politics, March 2018: Why do people leave the White House for good?

that was me the last time I saw a picture of Jake Gyllenhaal at the beach!

lol

These days, Jake has reverted to his nightcrawler persona. Jake doesn’t take his shirt off at the beach anymore.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BRACKET: Who will outlast them all?

I'd say Stephen Miller - he's a virulent racist, unnecessarily combative on TV, and a completely subservient lackey. he's a five-tool player.

agreed Miller like a cockroach will scurry out of the wreckage even after Trump goes down

heyo

The Trump administration announced Thursday it is enacting new sanctions on Russia, including individuals indicted last month by special counsel Robert Mueller, in a sweeping new effort to punish Moscow for its attempts to interfere in the 2016 US election.

The measures come a month-and-a-half after the administration missed a congressionally mandated deadline to impose the new sanctions, which led to questions over President Donald Trump's willingness to punish Moscow for its cyber intrusion. The new measures, however delayed, amount to the most stringent punishment yet by Trump for Russia's election interference.
In announcing the measures, the administration also disclosed a Russian attempt to penetrate the US energy grid, and said the new sanctions would punish actors for their participation in other major cyberattacks.

Prez just said abt St. Patrick's Day parade that he "used to watch it all the time"

who doesn't love a parade

pretty sure he means on TV, which is the safe zone for the NYC stagger

Michael Hayden, former head of the CIA, uses a lot of words here to say that when Gina Haspel tortured people she was just following orders https://t.co/6OXqcyWw7r pic.twitter.com/m59RnklfFI

Trump rewatching a worn out VHS recording of a St. Patrick's Day parade from 1993 on a loop like a five-year-old with a Disney movie is a thing I can completely imagine.

have to say coming after the CIA honcho for torture of all things is kinda ?

"It's what we do."

how big?

Lord

we're talking about world-historic matters, Ned.

From abroad, I encourage this development.

Trump aide tells me he frequently mentions in meetings about the Japanese dropping bowling balls on cars. No one knows exactly where he got the story from.

a few people have speculated that he *probably* picked this up from David Letterman

Worth reiterating the banking bill could have gotten full support of genuinely red state Dems -- Donnelly, Heitkamp, Tester, Manchin, Jones -- and still failed by 5-6 votes since it needs 60

It's blue/purple state Ds (in Va., Delaware, Michigan, Colorado) who put it over the top

wait didn't clinton get impeached for lying about getting blown by Lewinksy? Cant Trump get impeached for lying about his sex fails??

i don't understand the bowling ball thing. like what is the context ?

nevermind smh

We should test Trump's brain by dropping a bowling ball on it and seeing if it dents.

the ball?

My thanks, to DJT, for finding new ways to amaze me after all this time.

He's a shitball scrabbling to impress other shitballs, the absolute worst. He shouldn't be allowed to run a Burger King franchise, let alone a country.

nice

where's the tax returns?

In your heart

I would not be shocked if some Trump Organization activities fall under RICO statutes. I'd be more surprised if they didn't.

this country is much more like Burger King with an army than it should be

i'll bet anyone a big mac and two scoops of ice cream that our descendants (if civilization survives) will marvel at the shakespearean irony of trump foreshadowing his own tax return tragedy by making a spectacle of himself rising to serious political prominence demanding barry's birth certificate

Jake G was reportedly outside my building a half hour ago.

Wild and shirtless?

Uh-oh! Another Peter Schweizer story: https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equity-firm-run-by-kerry-and-bidens-kids/

a subpoena for the Trump Org can only accelerate the whole firing Sessions and replacing him with Pruitt thing. Trump previously "warned" Mueller that investigating his personal finances was a a "red line"

god what a joke

he probably thought he was being so smart by warning Mueller not to do that

If it's financial stuff then that can likely be prosecuted at the state level, too.
