In a darkened, mostly empty West Wing, Mr. Trump’s provocative chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, finishes another 16-hour day planning new lines of attack.”<br /><br />Among other revelations in the article are the fact that there is tension between Pres. Trump and top advisor Stephen K. Bannon. Trump is reportedly upset that “he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed” — an order drafted largely by Bannon.<br /><br />Also, the new chief executive ends his work day at 6:30 p.m. to watch TV in his bathrobe and opine on Twitter.<br /><br />“Usually around 6:30 p.m., or sometimes later, Mr. Trump retires upstairs to the residence to recharge, vent and intermittently use Twitter,” said the Times. “When Mr. Trump is not watching television in his bathrobe or on his phone reaching out to old campaign hands and advisers, he will sometimes set off to explore the unfamiliar surroundings of his new home.”<br /><br />While the administration tries to exude confidence and sure-footedness in its opening weeks, it has made multiple embarrassing public stumbles.<br /><br />http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/trump-team-literally-cant-find-the-white-house-light-switches/<br /><br />...Cloistered in the White House, he now has little access to his fans and supporters — an important source of feedback and validation — and feels increasingly pinched by the pressures of the job and the constant presence of protests, one of the reasons he was forced to scrap a planned trip to Milwaukee last week. For a sense of what is happening outside, he watches cable, both at night and during the day — too much in the eyes of some aides — often offering a bitter play-by-play of critics like CNN’s Don Lemon.<br /><br />Until the past few days, Mr. Trump was telling his friends and advisers that he believed the opening stages of his presidency were going well. “Did you hear that, this guy thinks it’s been terrible!” Mr. Trump said mockingly to other aides when one dissenting view was voiced last week during a West Wing meeting.<br /><br />But his opinion has begun to change with a relentless parade of bad headlines.<br /><br />...Visitors to the Oval Office say Mr. Trump is obsessed with the décor — it is both a totem of a victory that validates him as a serious person and an image-burnishing backdrop — so he has told his staff to schedule as many televised events in the room as possible.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/us/politics/trump-white-house-aides-strategy.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-42805629046259573192017-02-05T19:24:57.279-09:002017-02-05T19:24:57.279-09:00"... when awesome technological powers are in..."... when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues..."<br /><br />This is why we need low-tech paper ballot voting, counted and recounted by humans.

He is thriving on Trump’s chaos to “slip in his own deplorable but more mundane agenda” without anyone noticing. <br /><br />As this column has stated on more than one occasion, it is increasingly difficult to keep up with the mountain of outrages issuing forth from Trump; and that is not including the absurdly amateurish practice of keeping tabs on his stinking stupid Twitter activities. That kind of job is better left to parents of troubled preteens who should be monitoring what their kids are “tweeting.” But however “chaotic” and outrageous Trump or his administration appears to be, and it is both, there is method to Trump “madness” and it is a method Republicans in Congress are excited to use as a distraction from their already insane dismantling of the government while lavishing gifts on their wealthy campaign donors; no matter what industry those donors represent<br /><br />ThinkProgress is keeping track of the atrocities coming out of the Trump on a weekly basis, and they took a minute to explain Trump’s method of using “spread” to swamp the media and keep the American people confused about what the lunatic in the White House is going to do next. Anyone familiar with debate strategy is familiar with the concept known as “spread;” throw out as many arguments whether they are valid, dishonest, or batshit insane as possible to overwhelm your opponent. Trump’s administrations is pure spread with mountains of lies, dishonesty and incompetence but there is so much of it that no-one can possibly keep track of all of it. It is a brilliant distraction Republicans in Congress are taking advantage of to pass horrendous legislation the people never hear about until they are law.<br /><br />http://www.politicususa.com/2017/02/05/trumps-crazy-chaos-distraction-gop-atrocities.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-5634531278706753152017-02-05T19:00:10.431-09:002017-02-05T19:00:10.431-09:00This is a time in the life of the US when it is go...This is a time in the life of the US when it is good to be old, with no descendants. <br /><br />What's ahead may send us back into the dark ages, or obliterate humans from the earth.
