Budget director explains Trump’s military fetish: ‘The president enjoys working with generals’

The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Mick Mulvaney, downplayed the disarray the White House is reportedly experiencing in wake of major staffing changes.

In a Sunday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Mulvaney said that he thinks Gen. John Kelly will bring some discipline to the Oval Office. He blamed former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus for being too laid back in his approach to staffing.

“The President enjoys working with generals,” Mulvaney said of President Donald Trump’s new hire.

He also noted that the White house has an internal policy that nothing will progress until Trump’s healthcare bill is passed.

“It is official White House policy that nothing should be voted on before health care,” he told Tapper.

Trump demands Republican senators keep working on healthcare before moving on to something else

President Donald Trump on Sunday urged Republican senators not to give up trying to pass a healthcare bill, after they failed last week to muster enough votes to repeal and replace parts of Obamacare.

For the second day running Trump tweeted his impatience with Congress’ inability to accomplish its seven-year goal of replacing the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare bill commonly known as Obamacare.

“Don’t give up Republican Senators, the World is watching: Repeal & Replace …” the president said in a tweet.

What the fuck is this

When the actual fuck is someone going to take away his Twitter account? What a fucking immature piece of shitgibbon this assclown is. He's making a mockery out of our country.

I had a look at his posts, he posts like a regular citizen, does he know he's the president for real?

Democrats ‘are in a constant state of psychotic rage’: Fox host has a meltdown when Rep questions Trump staff choice

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro began her Sunday show alleging that Democrats “are in a constant state of psychotic rage.” She used protests at Berkeley and speeches by Hollywood celebrities to attack Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) for recent comments about Trump choosing Gen. John Kelly as his new chief of staff.

Because goodness forbid that Faux News or Trump supporters ever admit that there was a country full of hate for Obama.

  Trump presidency in a nut shell

[Autumnlicious]

The comic does represent precisely how Trumpsters behave. Right down to "It's your fault that my bad actions are going to hurt me".

Too many shitheads blathering about how we need to pay off the White Trump voter only breeds in me the instinct to kill off said voters.

Something something squeaky wheels stole all the fucking grease...

Robert Reich discusses some comments of a GOP member of congress.  The guy should come forward.

‘He’s losing it fast’: Republican predicts Trump will be ‘out of office before the midterms’

When Reich suggested that the White House was imploding and the GOP was heading down with the ship, the Republican member laughed, saying “we’re officially in a banana republic.”
“They’re convinced Trump is out of his gourd,” the Republican revealed. “Remember what I told you at the start of this circus? They planned to use Trump’s antics for cover, to get done what they most wanted – big tax cuts, rollbacks of regulations, especially financial. They’d work with Pence behind the scenes and forget the crazy uncle in the attic.”
He then corrected himself saying that he’s hearing that Attorney General Jeff Sessions “is pissing them off.” He said that Republicans in the caucus anticipate Trump will hurt them in 2018 and 2020.
“They want him out [of] there,” he continued, saying that they’re hoping special counsel Robert Mueller comes up with a “smoking gun.” When asked what they would do if Trump fired Mueller, he claimed it would never happen.

They keep saying he'll be "out" soon, but they've been saying it for a while.

[Minimalist]

He's only been "in" since January.  At this point I think if I were a democratic senator I'd vote to keep him.

Yeah, "only since".

In times of terror, shorter periods can seem much longer than they are.
