Reince Priebus, is out as White House chief of staff, and President Donald Trump announced on Twitter on Friday that Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly will replace him.
A senior White House official said Priebus had resigned on Thursday.
"I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration," Trump wrote.
He added, "I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him!"
Priebus' resignation follows a sustained attack campaign from new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who went on an expletive laden rant against Priebus to the New Yorker earlier this week, calling the chief of staff a “f------ paranoid schizophrenic” and accusing him of trying to “c--- block” him and keep him out of the West Wing. Scaramucci had also accused Priebus of leaking to try to undermine him.
So I guess the Mooch stays and Priebus gets the bum's rush.
Let's face it Scaramucci is Trump's kind of people.
Brash, loud, vulgar, and completely full of shit.
By the way I seriously doubt that the source of the White House leaks leads to Priebus.
I have a feeling that somebody dodged a bullet and is laughing their ass off behind the scenes.
Let's see, since taking office Trump has fired White House usher Angella Reid, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, US Attorney Preet Bharara, FBI Director James Comey, Chris Christie (According to some), former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was allowed to resign to avoid the shame of being fired, Sean Spicer up and quit, and now Reince Priebus gets the boot.
For somebody who claims he hires "the best people" he certainly goes through them in a hurry.
All because they didn't wipe his sorry a.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have happened to a sweller prick.Godbye shit bag.

ReplyDeleteI would think Priebus would be the last person to leak. He's the GOP's plant in the Trump house, he was supposed to give the Oval Office the appearance of normalcy, you know, like a regular presidential office where people meet and make decisions... so that anyone not totally certifiable might still vote Republican in 2018.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna happen.
But like someone else pointed out, it's only dictators that have generals as chief of staff. WTF does Kelly know about being the Alpha Office Wife?
I have ZERO respect for anyone who takes a job in this crazy WH. It is so obvious that the Orange Shitgibbon is insane, why do they demean themselves like this? Everyone is saying how well respected the new guy is, well SOMETHING has to be amiss with him, to pamper Two Scoops. Poor little Rancid, crawled over broken glass for tRump, and now he is cast aside!!
DeleteDamn. At this rate Scaramucci will be out before SNL is back in the fall.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the divorce will drag on and be in the media. That would be something, I guess.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/2017/07/28/trump-full-blown-crazy-plans-declare-war-gop-congress-priebus-firing.html
Political insider Scott Dworkin has posted the following in the wake of the firing: “White House Source: GOP loyalists plan “mass exodus” from Trump White House after Reince removed as Chief” (link). This confirms what has long been suspected, which is that as much as Trump always hated Priebus, he was the drop of glue that had been loosely holding Trump’s incompetent staff together.
DeleteSo now we’ll see a swift exit of everyone in the White House who has any prior experience and knows what they’re doing. All that will be left is Donald Trump, his clueless sycophants such as Anthony Scaramucci and Kellyanne Conway, his racist monsters like Steve Bannon, and military General John Kelly who has no clue about politics. Trump’s White House was already historically incompetent. It’s about to get a whole lot more incompetent.

Suffolk County Police Are The 2nd Organization In Two Days To Disavow Insane Trump Statements
ReplyDeleteFollowing on the heels of the Boy Scouts, the Suffolk County Police Department has become the second organization in two days to disavow statements from Trump after the President called for more police brutality during a Friday speech to law enforcement officers.
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/07/28/suffolk-county-police-organization-days-disavow-insane-trump-statements.html
I believe President Trump found out he did not pick the shittiest person he could find for chief of staff in the WH, so he got rid of Preibus and replaced him with Gen. Kelly head of Homeland Security as he is a really a super a--hole who should fit the bill. He is probably hoping Sessions will ask for Kelly's job.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Sessions want Kelly's job? That's a step down.
DeleteSessions would take the job as it would still help to impose the sons of the confederacy, conservative evangelical religious, xenophobic southern agenda, it is similar to Pence's mindset. Maybe you should looking at the bio on these members of Trumps cabinet

Priebus Wasn’t the Problem
ReplyDeleteTrump announced late Friday on Twitter—how else?—that he is replacing White House chief of staff Reince Priebus with Homeland Security secretary John Kelly. The decision was probably inevitable given how the President publicly humiliated Mr. Priebus in recent days, but this shuffling of the staff furniture won’t matter unless Mr. Trump accepts that the White House problem isn’t Mr. Priebus. It’s him.
Presidents get the White House operations they want, and Mr. Trump has a chaotic mess because he seems to like it. He likes pitting faction against faction, as if his advisers are competing casino operators from his Atlantic City days. But a presidential Administration is a larger undertaking than a family business, and the infighting and competing leaks have created a dysfunctional White House.
Perhaps Mr. Kelly, a retired Marine general, can impose some order on the staff. But then that’s what Anthony Scaramucci was supposed to do for the communications team, only to blow up in adolescent fashion this week by trashing Mr. Priebus and others in public. White House leakers then let it be known that Mr. Trump liked Mr. Scaramucci’s X-rated rant.
The reason Mr. Priebus wasn’t as effective as he could have been is because Mr. Trump wouldn’t listen to him and wouldn’t let him establish a normal decision-making process. Mr. Trump has a soft spot for military men so perhaps he’ll listen more to Mr. Kelly. He’d better, because on present course his Presidency is careening toward a historic reputation where names like Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon reside.

Not fair to Jimmy Carter. You may recall another case of "election interference" in 1980. His opponent, Ronald Reagan, negotiated privately with Iran to keep U.S. citizens hostage until AFTER the election.
DeleteIn addition, had Reagan not ordered the newly installed solar panels ripped off the White House roof, interest in solar energy would certainly have put us further ahead in funding and research to fight climate change.
Oh, and besides that President Carter was a Christian who actually lived his faith- unlike the loons in government currently. Habitat for Humanity beats anything Trump could possibly imagine doing.

Here’s The Real Reason Anthony Scaramucci Hates Reince Priebus
Delete...But Scaramucci’s plans were foiled in early January. That’s when Priebus, according to a confidant of both Scaramucci and the president, told Trump, “He played you.”
“How’s that?” Trump asked Priebus, according to the same source, who has spoken to several people within the White House about the conversation.
Priebus then told Trump that he felt Scaramucci had been offered too much for SkyBridge by HNA Group. The deal, he implied, smelled bad — as if the Chinese might expect favors from within the administration for that inflated price. The source also said that Priebus mentioned there was email traffic between Scaramucci and the Chinese proving this.
The White House rejected this version of events and declined to make Priebus available for comment.
Ultimately, Scaramucci was not offered the job.
...Finally, Scaramucci went to Keith Schiller, the president’s longtime bodyguard. He asked Schiller to put him on the phone with Trump so that he could lodge his complaints directly. The president listened, according to their mutual friend, and said he would find a position for Scaramucci as soon as he could.
In June, Scaramucci was appointed to be senior vice president and chief strategy officer of the Export-Import Bank. But the Priebus incident lingered in his mind.
So, on July 11, when Donald Trump Jr. found himself in trouble for holding a meeting with several people close to the Russian government the previous summer, Scaramucci sensed an opportunity. According to the mutual friend, Scaramucci told everyone he spoke to that day, including the president, that he was sure the person who divulged details of the meeting was Priebus. Scaramucci made the case — not necessarily backed by evidence — that with all the leaks targeting the administration, it was odd that only a few had hit Priebus directly.
Ten days later, Scaramucci was named the new White House communications director. The announcement noted that he would be reporting directly to the president — an unusual move that leapfrogged over the chief of staff.
Priebus balked, insisting that Scaramucci report to him. But Trump overrode his chief of staff. Not only was the hedge fund manager who had known Trump for 21 years officially in charge of the press shop, but he was also set to oversee the reorganization of the White House. Scaramucci seemed to have his revenge.
At least until Thursday evening.

How One Man Influenced The Republican Party’s Transformation Into The Grand Old Putin Party
ReplyDeletePart 1 of a 10 part series: the Grand Old Putin Party
Initially, I saw that Edward Lozansky founded a dissident group in the United States and worked with some politicians to further his goals. But then, I found Lozansky tied to the American Security Council, and involved not just various other conservative movements, but with their leaders, over the span of 40 years.
We worked tirelessly for 2 months on this story, using a team of citizen researchers from various walks of life.
I am now convinced more than ever that none of this would be happening if it weren’t for Ed Lozansky.

Gallup reported a seismic shift in Republican opinion towards Vladimir Putin in February 2017. They wrote:
ReplyDeleteA major reason for the overall rise in Putin’s favorable rating this year is Republicans’ more positive views of the Russian leader, from 12% in 2015 to 32% today. This comes at a time when President Donald Trump wants to improve relations with Russia, after somewhat frosty relations between the two countries during Barack Obama’s presidency. Independents’ opinions of Putin also have grown more positive in the last two years, but to a lesser extent than Republicans’. Democrats’ views have become slightly less positive, with just 10% viewing Putin favorably today.

DeletePowerful testimony on exactly what Vladimir Putin wanted from Trump and why
ReplyDelete...
Browder: Vladimir Putin, I believe him to be the richest person in the world, I believe him to be worth 200 billion dollars. That money is held in banks all over the world, in America and all over. The purpose of Putin’s regime has been to commit terrible crimes to get that money, and he doesn’t want to lose that money by having it frozen. So he personally is at risk of the Magnitsky Act. It’s a very personal, venal issue which is why, the first reason, he’s so upset.
The second reason is that in order to get that $200 billion, he has had to instruct people working for him—let’s say ten thousand people working for him—to do terrible things: to arrest, kidnap, torture, and kill to take people's property away. And as a result, the only way to get people to do such terrible things, is to say, if you do them, there will be no consequence. You will enjoy absolute impunity.
As a result of the Magnitsky Act, he can no longer guarantee absolute impunity, because all-of-a-sudden, we have created consequences in the West. I would not understate the value of the Magnitsky Act in terms of the consequences, because not only does it freeze the assets that are held in America, but the moment you get put on the Magnitsky List, you get put on the OFAC Sanctions List—which is a Treasury sanctions list. No bank in the world wants to be in violation of Treasury actions. And therefore, any bank, even if it is in South Korea or Dubai, if they see somebody on the Treasury sanctions list, [they] will close their account that day. And as a result, you basically become a financial pariah, and so it’s a real consequence.

He's right. A lot of people do wish that Trump was a dictator. Starting with Donald Trump.
