Can you imagine what sort of insane wars Trump would have started if he'd been in charge on 9/11?

it looks like going after Sessions and/or Mueller may actually be too far

hahahaha expecting Lindsey Graham to actually follow through with that threat is uh, probably setting yourself up for disappointment.

heres the thing. obamacare and medicaid are gonna get dismantled resulting in tax cuts for the .1% and 20 million without insurance.

trump is gonna fire mueller and not get in any trouble.

voter suppression will be fully implemented by 2018 and the republicans will never lose control of the government in our lifetime.

Whatever season we're on is clearly the final season of America so I'm expecting a lot of loose ends to be tied. None of that Lost ****, I want all the answers- who shot JFK, where is Hoffa buried, who is in the illuminati, why didnt the falcons just run it 3 times, etc.

that's quite the parlay! look there's a chance of all that, and I'm sure we both hope you're wrong.

in order of likelihood I got:

- Mueller getting fired (but there will be blowback for that, at least in terms of some political capital, possibly more. how much is ???)
- health care passing
- R never lose control

the nation is gripped by transgate. Meanwhile, the pentagon was freaking the **** out that a totally unhinged lunatic might be declaring war on twitter during his 9 minute cliffhanger between tweets.

Strange days indeed

Any finance bros got an opinion on THE MOOCH?

Why would anyone quit a job managing a hedge fund and making 8 figs+ to go work in the white house?

He's a true POS on par with the worst of the worst in this administration. Every bad thing that people can truthfully say about someone in finance is true of him.

She looks like Jim Ross post stroke with a wig on. I dont mean to be sexist but its just brutal. Shocked Trump would let her work for him given how much he values looks.

He can be a POS that still doesn't make him worse than bannon sessions or pence.

His pre election opinions were actually pretty solid.

The Mooch is actually pretty socially lib too. Had many old tweets pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, saying climate change needed to be addressed, etc. His company donated to LGBT causes. He even called Hillary "incredibly competent" on Twitter (guess this is a strike against him)

Unfortunately once he joined Trump's team he deleted all the tweets and said his views evolved. Shame. He's definitely a smooth talker, typical LI hedgie

??? I mean, maybe if you think the job description is to be a cartoon???

He's publicly declaring war on the WH Chief of Staff, fudgsickled that Trump would like his AG gone, suggested on air that the Huckabee chick should wear more makeup, and called for an FBI investigation into a "leak" of a publicly available document on his financial disclosure form (while saying Priebus was the leaker). It's his first week, meanwhile his President has been the lead every day for "twitter rants" including a major military policy announcement which the pentagon was completely in the dark about. Communications Director.

I think perhaps your standards have gotten lowered. He's just another gross incompetent, albeit a very confident one. To his credit I haven't heard him spout any nationalist propaganda or pizza parlor conspiracy theories, so there's that, I guess.

The fact that MOOCH reports directly to Cheetolini and not to the guy whose job it is to literally be the boss of everyone not Cheetolini seems...optimal.
