President Donald Trump brushed off concerns that the State Department still has key unfilled jobs, telling Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that he’s the only one who matters.
“We don’t need all the people they want us to get,” Trump said in an interview that aired Thursday night. “Let me tell you ― the one that matters is me. I’m the only one that matters because when it comes to it, that’s what the policy is going to be.”
The president also blamed Senate Democrats for dragging out the approval process for his nominees. While some State Department job picks are waiting for confirmation, more than a dozen top positions remain vacant with no named nominee, according to a Fox News article published last month.
Damn I swear I felt somebody walk across my grave.
That is one of the most chilling answers I have heard yet.
Donald Trump is a fucking idiot, and clearly suffering from a mental illness.
Only somebody with an extreme megalomaniac would suggest that they, and they alone, are the only important person needed to run a country as vast and complicated as the united States of America.
Just imagine if President Obama had answered a question like that. Never mind trying, you can't do it, because he NEVER would have.
When asked later if Trump thought that Rex Tillerson would last the duration, he responded with:
“Well, we’ll see,” Trump said. “I don’t know who’s gonna be ― duration.”
Yes, let's dismiss all of the grownups and leave the cranky toddler in charge of everything.
Okay look if you need me, I will be hiding under my bed.

ReplyDeleteHe puts the USA in mortal danger every moment he's awake.
He has to say those things about himself. That's how he survives. Just keeps telling himself how wonderful he is. And he believes it. I don't know what it's called in psychology but it's a disorder. He has a godlike complex. Getting worst each day. Problem is, he followers have that cult mentality and they believe he was sent by God, or it God. Problem with that for Trump, is Putin thinks he's God also.

DeleteTrump Is Freaking Out That Mueller 'Is Going to Get Him,' According to 'The Art of the Deal' Ghostwriter
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump is anxious, angry and overall freaking out about the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
That's according to Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter for Trump's 1987 best-seller The Art of the Deal. Schwartz, an outspoken Trump critic, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Thursday that he thinks Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's recent indictments of three Trump associates have left the commander-in-chief concerned—even if he won't admit it.
"There is a level at which, despite his desire not to feel it, Trump is very, very, very anxious that Mueller's going to get him," Schwartz said.

ReplyDeleteAlaska lawmakers push to drill for more oil
...In order to fight climate change and help cover the expensive burden, Alaskan lawmakers have come up with a solution: drill more. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who supports drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, voiced her long-held opinion during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
...“And we have waited for nearly 40 years for the right technologies to come along, so that the footprint of development is small enough to ensure that the environment continues to be respected and will not be harmed,” she said during the opening statement of the hearing. “This is not a choice between energy and the environment.”

Although I really don't care one way or the other if a Dem doesn't have a chance (Hint: they don't) so a Joe Miller Senatorial seat might just be as amusing as this entire Trump thing is. I have not laughed so much in many years, so I guess, bring it on, "Murkowski needs to go" as you say, and I hope you're okay with Joe Miller, he does fit right in with the Trump regime so maybe it's really Miller Time?

ReplyDeleteI AM worried - megalomanic dictators - we have plenty of examples both pat and present, to warn us of the dangers. However, those who put them in power were/are complicit.
Keep vigilant, my friends.

DeleteO/T - According to an article in Politico, Manafort and his defense team have proposed a $12.5 million dollar bail package, ensuring that he will appear for his trial, tentatively scheduled for next May.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly he is using real estate assets and life insurance policies to guarantee the bond. Now then, that amount of $12.5 million sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it? It sure does!
That was the amount purportedly paid to him by former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, a pro-putin puppet. When he was overthrown in late 2014, his office was ransacked, and ledgers were found in his safe.
These ledgers were found to contain names of individuals and politicians who were paid off. One ledger, when translated, contained Manafort's name, with the amount of, you guessed it, $12.5 million, paid for "consulting" fees. Coincidence??
I hope that Mr. Mueller squeezes the shit out of these fuckin' traitorous weasels, finds the money trail, and it leads him straight to the ultimate prize - the fat orange crook himself!
Don't forget, NO American or reputable international bank financed trump after his numerous bankruptcies! Remember, "follow the money"!!!

"It is another blow to journalists at Fox who come in every day wanting to cover the news in a fair and objective way," one senior Fox News employee told CNN of their outlet's coverage, adding that there were "many eye rolls" in the newsroom over how the news was covered.
The person said, "Fox feels like an extension of the Trump White House."

Trump is used to getting away with everything – those days may now be over
ReplyDeleteIn any normal situation, an admission by a presidential campaign adviser that he had talked to a mysterious professor with links to the Russian authorities about obtaining “dirt” on the rival candidate, ought to be jaw-dropping news.
More than that, some might consider it evidence of the sort of collusion with Moscow that has been alleged of the individual who won that contest and now lives in the White House.
But this is 2017, Donald Trump is the US President and as we have been forced to hurriedly to learn, precedent and normality count for little. Every day, something else becomes “the new normal”.

Except when one of his "policies" fails, he blames anyone and everyone. He also said in the interview that, because he is a "businessman," he knows that you can do without a lot of your employees. Because he's such a great "businessman." Republicans have been trying to tell us how we need businessmen running the country but, whenever we are unlucky enough to have one in a political role, he's a disaster. The state of Michigan is a current example: Rick Snyder, great carpetbagging "businessman" who's succeeded in ruining what was left of the public schools in Detroit, letting people get sick and die with Legionnaire's disease, poisoning the water in Flint, and who, because he's failing to take any action, is likely to pollute the waters of the Great Lakes with a failing gas pipeline. The problem is that rich businessmen may know how to make money for themselves but they have no idea how to care for millions of people whose needs and concerns vary greatly.
