The Trump Presidency (Act V - The One Where Everybody Dies)

[dudalb]

You don't need to read the article to know what's in it. Trump's tell this morning at a press event was to say, "I only recently found out" which is not credible in the least.

As for the comments Trump somehow tainted Kelly, no, Kelly has said his own sexist, racist remarks revealing he thinks just like Trump about the worth of women and about those lazy brown people.

BTW, now that the news cycle is working through the Porter scandal they are revisiting the fact Kushner also cannot get a security clearance.

Yeah, the "I only found out yesterday" remark made me think instantly of Claude Rains "I am shocked...SHOCKED..to find out their is gambling going on here" line in "Casablanca"...

I really like you.

This might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

It's not just Kushner either.

Dozens of White House employees are awaiting permanent security clearances and have been working for months with temporary approvals to handle sensitive information while the FBI continues to probe their backgrounds, according to U.S. officials.

People familiar with the security-clearance process said one of those White House officials with an interim approval is Jared Kushner — the president’s son-in-law and one of his most influential advisers.

How many of those officials are in the same boat as Porter and would never pass a background check?

There's always a tweet.

If @rihanna is dating @chrisbrown again then she has a death wish. A beater is always a beater--just watch!​

I guess he forgot to add unless they're white.

I would bet a lot of those holds are because of some kind of sleazy business activities, as has come to light with multiple Trump appointees and associates.

Yeah. They're not sending their best.

You just have to Google image search scalp reduction surgery to get a sense of all the ways they sew the scalp back together.

Thanks, Bob. I didn't know that.

Other WH officials say Kelly lied about Porter timeline.

The back-stabbing around that place is rampant.

And so the claim is reestablished, there really is an old Trump Tweet for everything.

Top Justice official bails out.

Rachel L. Brand, the No. 3 official at the Justice Department, plans to step down after nine months on the job as the country’s top law enforcement agency has been under attack by President Trump, according to two people briefed on her decision.

WHite House is denying that Kelly offered to resign..which means he is toast...

Trump's rules of evidence:
Central Park Five: guilty despite DNA evidence exonerating
Obama: Possibly born in Kenya. Worth investigating.
Raphael Cruz. Might have killed JFK. Worth investigating
Rob Porter: "He says he's innocent."​

I sense a theme.

Jeet left out (but likely didn't actually forget) Joe Arpaio: "Throughout his time as sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration,".

shrug. This is who he is, it's what he ran on, and everyone who voted for him, at the very least, found this far less objectionable than whatever it is they disliked about Hillary/Stein/Johnson/McMullin/etc. To some degree, they said "I'm okay with a woman-abusing white supremacist as president", and also said "I want the president to be a symbol that white supremacists, neo-nazis, and the genocidal fringe can look up to." What we've seen over the last year, from the neo-nazi rallies and even to the Arizona cops that executed that white guy in a hotel, is simply the expected result of their votes.

My guess - most of these people loved racist murderer George Zimmerman and that cop that choked out Eric Garner, far more than they like Black Lives Matter.

Yeah, Rick Wilson's Twitter is gold. I don't have twitter, but I will go to his page sometimes just t read his musings.

The man makes for good tv as well...

I don't see how that's related to his reported reaction to Kelly's handling of the news becoming public.

Scalp surgery.

As expected, the Trumptards on the Internet are already saying that Rob Porter is a victim of a Democratic conspiracy, and basically attacking his accusers. Same tactics as they used in the Judge Moore case.......

and the Trump cases (multiple)

David Sorensen resigns after his ex-wife reveals his history of domestic abuse.

The abrupt departure of speechwriter David Sorensen comes after his former wife claimed that he was violent and emotionally abusive during their turbulent two-and-a-half-year marriage — allegations that he vehemently denied. Rather, Sorensen said he was the victim of domestic violence in their marriage.

It's far more likely that this is backstabbing in Dolt 45's administration than anything the dems would bother with.
