White House Survivor

Since Obama wasn't quite the right color, Christmas during his term was a secret Kwanza/Hanukah.

Only a Good Christian like Trump can defend the Yule Fest, I mean the time Christ was definitely not born.

Zinke's departure is hard to call. He's of no actual use to Trump but is such a butt-kisser and greedy sumbitz that Trump must love him. They're both Birthers, the kids must love his attempt to remove restrictions on trophy hunting, too. OTOH, maybe his electrical contracting buddies in MT didn't kick back the finder's fee to the RNC for the Puerto Rico debacle? Maybe Donnie didn't get to wet his beak.

Someone got him to attend the lighting of the national menorah. He turned it into a political speech evidently not understanding that "Jew" and "Israel 2018" are not the same thing. Couldn't 'Vanki and Jared find a Jew and not call-in a political hack Lutheran?

OTOH, last year's menorah-lighter was Gary Cohn. He didn't stay the year, so maybe this is a trend.

I still put up my Festivus Pole and told everyone who would listen how they disappointed me.
 
Ales Acosta Labor Secretary

Not sure if Alex Acosta US Labor Secretary will be the next to go but my guess is things are going to get very uncomfortable for him. The deal he made when he was a US Attorney with Jeffrey Epstein Serial Child Rapist is likely to haunt him. Epstein is facing a live telecast civil trial starting tomorrow. It also looks as if Acosta's deal was illegal. Epstein could have gone to prison for the rest of his life but instead served 13 months where he was allowed out for 12 hours a day 6 days a week.

The case had been sealed and now Democratic Congressional Representatives are seeking those documents how Epstein got such a sweetheart deal.

There are enough unfounded rumors as to Trump being his buddy as there are about Clinton being his buddy. If someone like Avenatti gets bored and decides to play with that dirt, any hearing involving Acosta's involvement might have a snowball effect.

ITRW Acosta should be dumped because he's from the cookie cutter mold of Trump appointments, a little acronym we used to use in personnel reviews for promotion "SUFTUC" - singularly unsuited for task under consideration. In Trump World it's "how does this reflect or deflect".

They will care about this one. Epstein reportedly sexually assaulted perhaps hundreds of girls. Acosta gave an incredible sweetheart deal and did it illegally. Acosta is expendable and they'll jettison him without any qualms. My guess is he's gone by the end of February at the latest.

Clinton flew on a lot of people's airplanes. No question Clinton knew and was friendly with Epstein. But so was Trump. And as much as I don't like Trump, I don't like Trump, I doubt he had anything to do with Epstein's molesting of young teenage girls.

I read that Epstein helped with some financial case and that is why he got off so lightly. But that seems ridiculous to me.

In 2002, three years before anyone had come forward to the authorities with any complaints about Epstein and underage girls, a bio piece on him in New York Magazine included this quote from the Donald;

"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

Well now you've got me thinking the Russian whores in the pee tape were ever so slightly underaged, and that's why he's gone to so much more effort to deny it happened than most of his other indiscretions.

The real big question, apart from the deal being illegal (and it was), was why it gave immunity to anyone who may have engaged in these activities with Epstein. It literally gives immunity to "any potential co-conspirators". In a case with potentially more than 100 victims (at least 60 have been identified) with a sex-trafficking network and many parties at his mansion...

Acosta was one of those super-unqualified but GOP lapdog appointments, wasn't he?

Well, he's far from the most unqualified. He at least had a tenure on the NLRB, where his number two was found to have been hiring based on conservative litmus test issues but Acosta knew nothing about that, no really he didn't, he said so.

His singular qualification is that he's Cuban-American and a crumb for the South Florida Viva El Donald brigade. He's also the only Latino in the cabinet.
