Honest question. Who on Earth would take that job now?

Oh God. Please don't say "Tulsi Gabbard."

Omarosa ought to be able to whip things into shape over there. Could also hire Mulder if he's thinking outside the box...

You are 100% wrong. He's so stupid that not only does he NOT know that he doesn't know, he thinks he is an expert because he read the Golden Book version of the daily intelligence briefings.

Ok, so maybe 50% wrong. :p

Given Turkey's strategic importance and what Erdogan is doing there, Trump should have a rock solid understanding of both the man and the country, whether he is preparing to meet with him or not.

I'm going to visit some lake property I own with sibs in NoDak later this week, and while they are both libturds like I am, I"m not looking forward to hearing cousins whom I admire and respect for the people they are defend Trump. Honest, generous, hardworking people. I don't want to respect them less, but if they stand up for him after all he has done, it will be a struggle. Will have to keep the conversation focused on the weather, the wheat, and the Twins.

Are you officially in the UAE now? If you are, is it that they want to talk about the freak show act we elected into office?

At a Besieged White House, Tempers Flare and Confusion Swirls

WASHINGTON — The disclosure that President Trump divulged classified intelligence to two high-ranking Russian officials was a new blow to an already dispirited and besieged White House staff still recovering from the uproar and recriminations from the president’s firing of James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director.

Mr. Trump’s appetite for chaos, coupled with his disregard for the self-protective conventions of the presidency, have left his staff confused and squabbling. And his own mood, according to two advisers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, has become sour and dark, turning against most of his aides — even his son-in-law, Jared Kushner — and describing them in a fury as “incompetent,” according to one of those advisers.

Mr. Trump’s rattled staff kept close tabs on a meeting early Monday in which the president summoned Mr. Spicer; the deputy press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders; and the communications director, Michael Dubke, to lecture them on the need “to get on the same page,” according to a person briefed on the meeting. Even as Mr. Trump reassured advisers like Mr. Spicer that their jobs were safe at the morning meeting, he told other advisers he knew he needed to make big changes but did not know which direction to go in, or whom to select.

Later, reporters could hear senior aides shouting from behind closed doors as they discussed a defense after Washington Post reporters informed them of an article they were writing that first reported the news about the president’s divulging of intelligence.

On Capitol Hill, there were signs that Republicans, who mostly held the line after Mr. Comey’s ouster, were growing alarmed by and impatient with Mr. Trump’s White House operation.

“There need to be serious changes at the White House, immediately,” said Senator Patrick J. Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican who wants Mr. Trump to appoint a Democrat to head the F.B.I. The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, called on Mr. Trump to operate with “less drama” on Tuesday.

In his comments to reporters on Monday, Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican close to some in the White House, was explicit about the situation.

A dozen of Mr. Trump’s aides and associates, while echoing Mr. Trump’s defiance, privately agreed with Mr. Corker’s view. They spoke candidly, in a way they were unwilling to do just weeks ago, about the damage that was being done to the administration’s standing and the fatigue that was setting in after months of having to defend the president’s missteps, Twitter posts and unpredictable actions.

The latest crisis comes at the worst possible time for Mr. Trump’s team. His national security and foreign policy staffs have been spending much of their time planning for his coming eight-day trip to the Middle East and Europe — his first major overseas trip as president, and an opportunity, they thought, to reset the narrative of his presidency after the lingering controversy of Mr. Comey’s sudden dismissal last week.

There is a growing sense that Mr. Trump seems unwilling or unable to do the things necessary to keep himself out of trouble, and that the presidency has done little to tame a shoot-from-the-hip-into-his-own-foot style that characterized his campaign.

Holy ****ing ****.

Trump asked Comey to shut down Flynn investigation in February.
 
Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

Oh my god. Comey kept a detailed list of evidence for this entire thing
 
Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

Apparently Comey is really well known for taking detailed notes. Once he was asked to pledge his loyalty he started compiling. Sorry. I just got home, so I'm trying to pass what I heard on the short drive home. NYT has the article.

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

Oh my god.
“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey, according to the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey that Mr. Flynn had done nothing wrong, according to the memo.

Mr. Comey did not say anything to Mr. Trump about curtailing the investigation, only replying: “I agree he is a good guy.”

Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

Think about this a little... President Ryan.

I can't see this whole group surviving.

What sucks, unlike most politicians, who this would mean the end of their career, the board of directors will just go back to being on real board of directors. Pence will be totally cooked, but that's about it. don should go to jail, as I see it.
 
Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

President Ryan will give us all of the socially disastrous policies Trump will give us without the constant threat of perma****ing our relationships with he world. I'd rather have some rube P90x enthusiast than a complete child running the free world.
 
Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

Yeah, as much as I dislike a Ryan on a policy level, I can at least respect a base level of competence that the WH sorely needs right now.
 
Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

Something called Blake Farenthold just made an *** of himself on Greta. He said if this was Obama we wouldn't see any of this kind of response.

You're right, dipsh|t, because Obama would never be so stupid to fire a director of the FBI to shut down an investigation or even ask an FBI director to stop an investigation.


ETA: Oh, so this is what a Blake Farenthold is.

Imagine if Obama fired the FBI director in the middle of the EMAILZZZZZ investigation. The R's would have dragged him out of the Oval Office and strung him up on the South Lawn. I'm getting pretty GD tired of all the excuses from the right. The level of hypocrisy reaches new heights on an hourly basis. Enough already.
 
Re: POTUS 45.09: How do I hate thee? Let me count the posts.

Never mind if Obama had been stupid enough to do this the echo chamber would have absolutely lost their freaking mind. To pretend it would get swept under rug after we spent countless hours hearing about Benghazi, at al is a complete step away from reality.
