To be honest, this kind of tweet doesn't bother me even a little bit. If Trump can stick to harmless political posturing I'll be happy. It has no negative effect and might have some tiny positive on consumer confidence or whatever. The hypocrisy part of it is just expected.

The thing is, his supporters buy this crap lock stock and barrel. "The economy sucked before we elected Trumpy, and now look at it!! It's a miracle!! In only six months." It's how he got elected, his supporters don't believe a damm thing unless it comes straight from Trumpy's mouth.

It's how Obama can have something like 72 straight months of positive job growth, and people will tell you the economy sucks and unemployment is at an all-time high. "Just look at the real numbers".

Where's flaggy when you need him. he'll tell you.

Yeah, that's why there's been such a drastic change in them.

There's nothing you won't fellate the guy over, is there?

Don't even try, he's fully morphed into flaggy territory now.

Dr. Mrs. worked very closely with Kelly at DHS. She was reticent about it, far more circumspect than usual to be honest, but what I gleaned was:

1. Sees himself as a good solider. Don't ask him to think about policy, give him orders to execute.
2. Fancies the "you need me on that wall!" drag act. Is a bit over the top about it.
3. Is obsessed with the national security consequences of drug trafficking and gangs. (?!)
4. Everything is hierarchy. Obeys without question and expects obedience without question.

In general, she liked him. He wasn't a bundler/crony jackoff like Jeh Johnson and he's about as honest as you're going to get among the type of DOD guy who swims in these waters (i.e., a political general). Has authoritarian tendencies but probably views Trump as disgusting.

Great insight. Honestly, none of that really surprises me. Especially #2. Every quote I've read of his screams Jessup. The bolded section gives me the most faint sign of hope.

There has to be some GOP deep pockets somewhere that they could legitimately start up a third party to catch those center-right issues. Why do the deep GOP donors continue to fund the moonbats?

Because they are WINNING!111!1!! THey don't care what happens in the big picture only that they get what they want.

Kind of like when they had a Regent when The kings were too young to rule? tRump is not a grown up yet so it fits.

Jesus Christ, Obama could have posted that every other month for his last two years in office, but for some reason, none of that stuff mattered.

The numbers were fake, that was just Wall Street, so many people on Main Street still hurting, working three jobs that still don't pay what their last one did, "economically anxious", and so on.

Now they're supposed to mean something? That everything's hunky dory now, and it's all because of Trumpy? Now those numbers aren't fake? America's great again? If so, then what's it been for the past two years?

Well, you could evict them from their house, cut off thier right leg and kill thier first born but if tRump told them it was doing good, really good they would believe it.

Good insights. #4 is classic conservative mindset but in the Trump WH is both encouraging (drain the swamp (i.e. Mooch)/instill some discipline) and disconcerting. What if Trump decides to drop a nuke? We need some free thinkers in there.

I don't see how he can follow orders when the order changes minute to minute and contradicts itself. I can imagine the Star Trek episode when they confused the android by presenting it with an unsolvable conundrum and it short circuits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzV...outube.com/watch?v=EzVxsYzXI_Y&has_verified=1

Dam. If you are on Trump's staff, you better not spend too much on business cards.

I think my liberal friends on here could do with some time on the Maine coast. It was just a joke. It's fascinating so many people thought I was serious. There is so much fake stuff out there though I guess I can see how it would be believable.

From what I have read, Trump has been much stricter in making sure the statistics are accurate since he's been in office.

?? Seriously? I can't imagine him having enough of an attention span to pay attention to how accurate anything is except if Fox et al tell him something

So, obviously I think Trump is the world's biggest jack *** and only something as pathetic as the Republican party could foist him upon us, BUT I have to wonder at some point if turfing all these people starts catching up with Chump with his own party. Yeah, yeah I realize the GOP is nothing more than a cult at this point, but guys like Mooch, Priebus, Sessions, etc have friends in Congress who all suck up to the same lobbyists. Somebody in the Senate is going to get p!ssed if their "man in the WH" gets humiliated on their way out the door which Chump pretty much does to everyone. Might make his so-called "agenda" even harder to pass in a bought and paid for Congress.

I'm not trying to be maliciously flippant, but you're off your farking rocker if you think Republicans aren't going to ram as much Republican garbage through government as they can. When McCain leaves, it's going to be a free-for-all. There isn't going to be so much as an appeal to moderation. It's just Collins and Murkowski at that point. Maybe Portman on a few issues.

The Dems need to pick up one or two seats to prevent true insanity from reigning supreme.

How could it be any harder than it already has been? He's been president for 192 days and is currently 0 for 10 on the policy proposals he promised to work with Congress to enact in his first 100 days. Must be because he's so busy doing all that super-accurate counting to make sure the statistics are so accurate.

Or maybe because it's completely in line with everything you've ever posted. Perhaps the fact that no one knew you were joking should tell you something about the rest of your posts.

Now let's see him apply that same standard to Trumpy.

In a vacuum without a rooting interest, I'd say if he can steal Trump's phone or hand off his Twitter account to someone else, that would go down as being one of the greatest victories in the history of the White House staff. I'm not holding my breath.

Someone else mentioned it on here, but Trump is going to Trump. After a few weeks of getting told what to do by an adult(ish) person, he's going to get real tired of it and fire Kelley. Or Kelley will step down, though probably not since he has such a strict adherence to chain of command.

I suppose it could go either way and I wouldn't be surprised. Nothing really surprises me any more with this clown show. It's now down to whether I laugh, cry, or start chugging hard liquor.

Cool if you were joking, but I'm guessing most people thought you were serious because the comment was so consistent with your past performance here. It's exactly the statement some of us have come to expect from you, fairly or not.

What "fake stuff" are you referring to? Sorry, but my false equivalency alert went off.
 
Re: POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

Scott Baio has a Facebook Live video out ripping John McCain for his Health Care vote. It's pretty bad. Not sure why any human would want to do that on social media, on video.
