“Steve Bannon has been fired,” Baldwin said. “It has been a chaotic four weeks, even by these White House standards, so let’s just all take a moment just to remind you what has happened, incredibly significant events, one after the other.”
“So, in no particular order,” she began. “President Trump … fires his chief strategist, fires his chief of staff, hires a new one, hires a new communications director, fires him, hires a new one, his fourth in seven months, publicly shames his attorney general multiple times, loses a health care bill, publicly shames the three republicans who voted against it multiple times, bans transgender individuals from the military without telling the military, ticks off the Boy Scouts, makes up a phone call with said Scouts, makes up another phone call with the president of Mexico, thanks Vladimir Putin for expelling Americans, hundreds of them, takes days to sign a bipartisan sanctions bill and then blasts Congress for making him sign it, condemns leaks but then says he likes the leaks because it shows people love him.”
Baldwin then stops for a drink of water, before continuing:
“Encourages police to be rough with suspects during arrests, publicly shames the Republican leader he needs to get anything done—multiple times—embraces an unpassable immigration plan that sparks a debate about the Statue of Liberty and the definition of ‘cosmopolitan.’ He threatens North Korea with nuclear war, tells Guam it will help tourism, then his own chief strategist calls his bluff and says, no, there’s no military option in North Korea, threatens Venezuela with a military option, after a Nazi rally in which someone was murdered, the president blames both sides. After backlash, cleans it up, denounces those white supremacists, but then hours later erases all of it and makes everything worse by again blaming both sides, saying there were fine people there. No, they weren’t. They were Nazis.”
Whew!
Keep in mind that President Obama went through EIGHT YEARS in office without anywhere near this much chaos and drama in his White House.
God, Trump was right. All of this winning IS exhausting.
"God, Trump was right. All of this winning IS exhausting."
ReplyDeleteYour sentence has a typo - should be "whining". All of this WHINING is exhausting.
Yep, he said winning. All i hear is a lil silver spoon bitch whining constantly like a 5 year old.

ReplyDeleteWhat Will Happen to Admiral Mike Rogers, the Spy Who Knew Too Much?
ReplyDeleteAdmiral Mike Rogers is the last intelligence chief standing to have stated that Russia meddled in U.S. elections—and a new change in the Pentagon just put his future in jeopardy.
Whatever actually occurred between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin during and after the election, America’s digital surveillance chief, Admiral Mike Rogers, knows it.
Atop his twin perches at the National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), Rogers is the man who possesses the virtual receipts of interactions between Russian officials, cyber cut-outs and Trump associates. But a highly bureaucratic change announced by the Pentagon on Friday—one immediately overshadowed by the firing of Steve Bannon—puts Rogers’ future within the Trump administration in jeopardy.
“It’s critical that Admiral Rogers is unequivocally in charge as the investigations proceed into determining the role that the Russians played in the U.S. presidential elections,” a former senior intelligence official told The Daily Beast on condition of anonymity.
On Friday, the Pentagon said it was enacting a long-expected plan to elevate the young CYBERCOM into a standalone four-star command, out from the shadow of its nuclear-weapons parent, the U.S. Strategic Command. It’s a recognition that war now occurs digitally as well as physically.
But even if CYBERCOM is moving out of its parents’ house, it still has to contend with its big brother: the NSA.

‘Donald has no principles — no moral core’: Biographer warns Trump is just a ‘con man’ at heart
ReplyDelete...“Donald has no principles,” Johnston explained. “There’s no moral core to this man. He will say and do whatever gets his interests at the moment. Donld at heart a con artist. He has conned banks into giving him money and said ‘I knew I wouldn’t to have pay they will back.’ He’s conned many, many small businesses to do work and then didn’t pay them. If I turned out tomorrow it would be good for Donald’s career to go to a Mosque, you would see him do that. He does whatever in the moment he thinks will advance his interests. He’s not a strategic thinker, Steve, this is important. He doesn’t think ahead two, three, five steps. When he embraces the faction of the Muslim religion in his trip to Saudi Arabia, he doesn’t think through what that means to others in the Muslim world and particularly Qatar where we have our most important military base in the Middle East. And all of that is because he doesn’t know anything. He just instincts from which he operates.”

Let the rumors of impeachment begin and be true. He was no more qualified than my Siamese cat, who thinks he owns this house, to 'run' this country let alone the rats beside him abandoning ship.
ReplyDeleteNo, your cat is smarter.
DeleteHe would kill the rats! ;)
I think our pets would be more rational presidents than Trump. Our dogs certainly had better temperaments.

But Krauthammer also brought up the issue of Confederate memorials too:
ReplyDeleteAnd then this. I mean, it may be that they have made their calculation, the president has, particularly when he came out for retaining the confederate memorials. This is a winning issue. If you look at the polls, it is a winning issue. And they want to play this, in part, to get away from the Charlottesville press conference.
But, also, in part because it’s a winning issue, cultural issue inside the country. But you don’t say it out loud. That’s what I think was so amazing about this. Bannon is saying we want race to be an issue. We want the country to be divided over this. Because we’re gonna win.
Krauthammer is a very respected political mind, and in many ways he should be lauded for his candor here. His critics, however, might take issue with the brazen admission that the issue of Confederate Memorials that is just another symptom of a divided America, is a winning cultural issue that “we’re gonna win” (presumably speaking for just the Republican side of the United States.)
And his admission “but you don’t say it out loud” just before his lamentation that “Bannon is saying we want race to be an issue,” is certain to be evidence to those who feel like some play the race card like it is a political football.

Goldman Sachs warns investors to expect government shutdown as Trump support tanks

Trump is done. How many times have we wanted it to be so? but here's the truth.
ReplyDeleteCorporate America has dumped him and corporate America holds the cards.
The Arts Council has dumped him and here is a bit of news that has not been pointed out as it should be, Melania Trump is the Honorary Chair of it! That is a sting!All the previous First Lady's have been.
Although we know she hasen't really done a damn thing since becoming First Lady but sit on her ass or pose when needed with her clothes on this time.For the first time the so called First Lady has no agenda, where is she? Nobody even knows!
All the people with real power and money are going to kick Trumps ass out because he is bringing their businesses down. Trump Humpers don't have any money,they can't afford Lar A Margo and money talks and it has spoken.
It's not out of the goodness of their hearts mind you it's because the smart people with money know how to play the game and Trump is not sociably acceptable here or world wide. He is pissing on their business oppurtunities.
He will be impeached or forced to resign and rednecks will take it to the streets no matter how much Mueller has on him.
This is what idiot Trump has brought us to. And Bannon wants it. Enemies of all the United States has stood for since our inception.
Never has there been so much division, so many egos and self centered causes. United we stand! Thank Trump for one thing only he has woken up us to the fact of how fragile we are when we become complacent and can never imagine a shit storm like we now face.
Never again.
Until the next time, and while they play their money and power games, WE are the ones who suffer it.
DeleteThe Arts Council started under Saint Ronnie Reagan.
DeleteI wonder if Barron will ever think, wow, my mom could have been First Lady. It was given to her and instead she sat on her ass and made scowling faces. They don't even speak English half the time in that family, mom and her parents.

If the Rebublican Party wants to save itself they have no choice because Trump has gone too far.
ReplyDeleteThey sat back when Trump gave his kids positions in the White House and put up with nepotism while he was acting like a Third World Leader.
They sat back thinking they could control him and now they know they cant. Republicans have destroyed their party for a win.
America is no longer looked up to for leadership by our allies because we have a unqulified nut for President who they have no idea what this ass is going to do next.We have become a joke and i want our dignity back.
Whose going to give it back to us? Pence? Ryan? Congress? I want him ousted big time and his twitter rants, that he will continue to make, made fun of until he's dead and thereafter.
DeleteIt's been about 8 months.
DeleteTrump is on course to be the first successfully impeached president. Shortest administration ever barring death of occupant of the Oval Office. Even if he resigns, he's a LOSER. Impeached or resigns, he's damned. The only thing that can save him now is to DIE IN OFFICE.
I don't think he's going to go for that option.
I will tell you who can give it back to us. Us the people!I still have faith.
DeleteEven Pence or Ryan are not crazy which means they have their limits.Most of the crap they spew is for their base but they are not stupid at least they are sane.They are lifetime politicians who at least know how to play the game without pissing our allies off.
And then we go from there.Did you see the Governor of Virginia's speech. That man should consider a run for the Presidency.
mlaiuppa, even if he dies in office, he's a loser. History will NOT treat him kindly.
Delete3:13.
DeleteBut I'm thinking of his base.
It will be hard for them to defend him. If he resigns, he's a quitter. If he is successfully impeached with a majority in the House and the Senate, he's a crook or crazy or a traitor or whatever.
But if he dies in office, they can delude themselves into thinking he is a martyr and was fighting for their cause until his heart gave out.
Yes, to the rest of us, no matter what happens, even if he finishes his term, he is a LOSER. And the history books will paint him as such.
Lowest approval rating in history.
Worst president ever.
No president has had this much chaos and drama during their term, not to mention President Obama. And just wait until Mueller is finished!
ReplyDeleteI think we are going to be disappointed in Mueller. I think he is concentrating on money laundering and other fiscal misdeeds rather than the Russian connection and their collusion with the Trump campaign.
DeleteWe have a real leader in this man Democrats.

No wonder I haven't slept well since election day 2016! And this was all in four weeks' time after the first several months of insanity! Of course, the CNN list, comprehensive as it was, left out all the mayhem that his Cabinet appointees have been bringing to whatever department they head. While Trump is displaying his utter incompetence to the world, his administration is busy undoing all that has been good about this country since Franklin Roosevelt took office in 1933. Woe unto us as a people; Tina Fey should make a cake delivery to every household in the country.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
You're lucky if you're still not sleeping well.
DeleteI think the nation has gone numb.
Our president being a criminal and a traitor and a racist and stupid and uncouth has become the new normal. Seems like it is getting harder and harder for him to top himself in public outrage as he keeps raising the bar.
If any other person, Democrat or Republican, Obama, Hillary, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, ANYONE had done what Trump has done, they would already be impeached. Even with both houses of Congress a Republican majority.
Holy shit! What a list!
ReplyDeleteTrump to skip Kennedy Center Honors
ReplyDeleteBy Sophie Tatum
Updated 9:48 AM ET, Sat August 19, 2017
Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will not attend the annual Kennedy Center Honors in December, the White House announced Saturday morning.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/19/politics/donald-trump-kennedy-center-honors/index.html
Good. No one wants him there stinking up the joint anyway and we all know he'd make the Honors all about himself: Where's my honor for defeating Hillary and getting beat up by the press all the time? If it ain't about him, he ain't interested.
DeleteM. from MD
Good. Maybe the honorees will actually show up. At least they don't have to sit with that shit for brains whiney little bitch.
DeleteFor once, his breaking precedent is a good thing.
Probably decided not to show because it isn't about him and he doesn't get to give any speeches. Doesn't want to sit through a lot of boring tributes to other people (more talented and loved than him) and all he gets to do is scowl and wave. Where's the fun in that? Besides, he'd be missing his favorite TV shows.
He won't show up until it's call the Trump Center and the Donald Trump Honors Award.
Didn't you read? Melania is tired. She has to look good all the time, plus be a mother. It's all too too much. She probably refused to make an appearance at this thing and while Ivahhhhhhnka would have done it, maybe she and Jared had a vacation already planned.
