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

[Trebuchet]

Katrina Pearson who was appointed as a senior adviser to President Trump’s re-election effort today tweeted

"Perfect Obama's dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney's dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?"

So, as Trumps mom was born in Scotland, what does she think of him?

Not on her twitter, so unless she deleted it's probably a hoax. Kind of like when the National Enquirer suggested she was sleeping with Ted Cruz.

Besides, it's just good white protestant folks in Scotland.

ETA: She does appear to have said it, but it was in 2012. That makes sense given the Romney reference.

ETAA: Here's the tweet.

The fact that Trump has her anywhere near him in an official capacity reveals his lack of good judgment. He should be the perfect example of "give someone enough rope and they'll hang themselves", but sadly his base won't care and some will even think it's a good thing.

"My new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war fighting domain just like the land, air and sea,"

Has anyone told him about the existing Outer Space Treaty?

We don't need no stinkin' treaties!

Patrick Chovanec tweeted

Tillerson: Russia obviously poisoned the guy.
Trump: You're fired.
Press: You fired him for saying that?
Trump: No, I fired him on Friday.
Tillerson aide: He wasn't fired on Friday, it came as a complete surprise.
Trump: You're fired too.

He was a spokesman in San Francisco, not DC. I imagine he's still in the Frisco area.

Even better, he can skype in. Who doesn't want to work from home?

CNN got audio of Stormy Daniels talking about an affair with a wealthy celebrity that began in Nevada on a 2007 radio show. Details match up with her Trump lawsuit and multiple people at the interview say it was Trump.

Calling all lawyers! Can she now make a successful inevitable discovery argument? If so many people know and talk about it who didn't sign an NDA, is she still bound by it?

John Bolton is supposed to be the new national security advisor. That's what we need, someone who is both a lunatic and complete idiot. He probably would have been SECSTATE but those confirmation hearings would have made Betsy DeVos look smart.

What's next, Sean Hannity as communications director?

Why not? NDAs aren't always secret. This one started out secret, but I don't see why the fact that it has become public knowledge would nullify it.

Interesting skeptical take on whether the Trump campaign paid off Stormy Daniels.

Thanks for that link, it is indeed interesting.

A persuasive analysis. Thanks for posting.

Scotland is white people, d'uh.

Scotland is white ginger people.

FTFY. Also ninja'd.

Ireland has the Ginger people.

You’re welcome. I was pointed to it by a Twitter post by Opening Arguments.

I wonder if an analysis like that could convince a jury of guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

Consensus is that Tillerson outster is a sign that Trump is through with the experts,and will appoint toadies who will support Trump in following his "gut feelings".
Now I think total disaster is inevitable for the country.

Truth is, Tillerson was a particularly awful Sec of State, and it was more because he hollowed out the department than because of the idiot that he served under (although this does play a part, of course).

Not that I expect any replacement to be better, but it's hard to see where Tillerson exerted any influence in any positive manner - I certainly can't think of anything.

The latest from The Dunce:

"Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea," Trump told an audience of service members at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. "We may even have a Space Force," Trump said. Link

Hillary and Barack react:

 

[newyorkguy]

The president described how he'd originally coined the term as a joke, while discussing U.S. government spending and private investment in space. "I said, 'maybe we need a new force, we'll call it the Space Force,' and I was not really serious. Then I said, 'what a great idea,'"

President Alfred E. Trump. What, him worry?

John Bolton is supposed to be the new national security advisor.

To me, this is all pointing towards war with Iran, much to the delight of the Saudis and Israelis. They're playing Trump like a cheap fiddle.

Only Congress can stop it, and it's hard to imagine the current Congress doing that. Which means Trump will want to kick it off before the mid-terms in November.

All the great Presidents have been war-fighting Presidents - Washington, Lincoln, FDR - or war-fighters - Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt. Trump wants to outdo them all, and while he was denied his chance to fight by those pesky bone-spurs he can still spend other people's blood as President.
