reading SK's posts is a pretty big leak.

Go GG home you're drunk

Trump's got Tyrannosaurus Rex Tillerson hands.

At least GG can own up to mistakes. He RTed the first one below and tweeted the second one about his previous tweet:

Burgess Meredith wore it so much better.

Dr. Ronny Jackson: ruh roh?

not sure about the other tweets but this particular one is a parody account

OOPS

suddenly this guy doesn't look so bad eh

And in the least surprising news ever...

No worries, he has a backup.

"excessive" drinking on the jerb is weird like is there an acceptable amount of drinking on the jerb while improperly dispensing meds?

As opposed to moderate drinking on the job?

You would think probability would predict Trump would accidently nominate one non-awful human to some post, but nope, dude is batting 1000.

Excessive drinking on the job? That implies some level of drinking by the White House physician, while working is ok.

Also trump needs the doctor from cannonball run to step in.

dr ronny coming down with a serious case of best people itis

On the other hand, feeling the need to drink while working in the Trump White House could be seen as a sign of not being completely lacking in humanity.

Unlike EPA, DOE, and HUD, there are some Trump supporters who care that the massive welfare project known as the VA is run competently. (I don't have a problem that's it's a massive welfare project, but that's what it is.)

I mean Jackson is arguably one of Trump's best picks, in that he's not going to actively work to undermine the VA's mission of providing healthcare to veterans, but he probably wouldn't do a good job at it either. Veteran's groups want a competent VA administrator, which is why they let the Obama guy stay on as long as he did.

A couple of fun facts about Michael Avenatti, Stormy's lawyer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Avenatti

Just find it amusing that he worked on FISA-related stuff with Jonathan Turley.

More significant, while I knew he did opposition research for Dems, I did not know that he worked on 150 campaigns. That tells me that he has pretty deep expertise in digging up dirt, a useful skill for lawyers that is not taught in law school.

This must be fake news because we were told repeatedly in this forum that he seemed like such a well qualified candidate.

None of us could have seen this coming!

He def gives off a cocky vibe as to having dirt on people and daring them to refute it.

What's up w/ his latest tweet practically begging Hannity to let him on his show? He has to know Hannity either won't do it or will control the narrative.

Manafort is in pretty deep trouble and his lawyers gonna cost him $2M before he pleads. From what I can tell he's worth around -$10M (if his debt to Deripaska is legit). The redacted seems to involve uncharged criminal allegations. BTW, you don't want an FBI agent drafting and filing a 41-page affidavit for a no know warrant of your house, business, storage locker, and safe deposit box. That's 16 more pages than is permitted for a standard summary judgment motion.

Spoiler:

John Oliver mentioned this last night - Ryan Zinke routinely claims in hearings he is a geologist (usually as a basis to give away more federal land), when in fact he has never worked with one and only majored in geology in college

Yeah, I loled at that. I mean, we all have a bottle of scotch in our desk drawer, but it's when you start getting into the second bottle of the day that questions need to be asked.
