    I guess what I find interesting about the Trump presidency is how he figures he has so much leverage to re-do all of these deals. It doesn't even seem if he has leverage with the Congressional Republicans.

    Hey, does Fucko dye his hair white now?
    Calculated move, or did he stick his head in the acid rinse?

    Remember when the Republican health care plans were dead if they didn't pass them on a certain vote, then they didn't and he brought it back up anyway? That's the kind of thing that makes people realize your threats are meaningless real fast.

    We continue to be saved from the worst consequences by two factors:

    1) even when he attempts to listen to the legitimately evil fascist Bannon/Jones wing of his inner circle, his incompetence undercuts him (tweeting about how it's a Muslim ban even while his lawyers are in court desperately trying to prop up the argument that it isn't a Muslim ban).

    2) unless it is about him personally, he tends to listen to whoever talked to him last, and generic Republicans seem to get that spot a good chunk of the time. I don't like generic Republican stances on most issues, but there is a difference between politics I don't like and a fascist crisis.

    Fucking BBC.

    The three Palastinians who were killed stabbed Israeli cops, killing one of them.

    He chooses his wigs depending on his mood.

    That thing on his head looks like it's a different color every day. It's the new blue dress or gold dress.

    Ben Sasse is a Millennial-bashing baby

    "It’s hard not to view the sudden uptick in Millennial-bashing as a form of psychological projection. Every negative personality trait conservatives identify in Millennials is also present in Trump, the oldest president upon inauguration and the overwhelming favorite of older voters. Privileged upbringing? Check. Inability to handle criticism? Check. Too much “screen time”? Rejection of the traditional nuclear family? Compulsive oversharing on social media? All of it applies to the leader of the Republican Party as much as it does to those in the catacombs of Instagram. Conservatives both on and off the Trump Train are uneasy about this glaringly obvious counterargument, but for the time being they have no choice but to double down. Sasse was pressed on this in a recent interview with Politico, but he quickly changed the subject. It’s understandable that he wouldn’t want to go there. For Sasse to confront the fundamental truth that his own party is the primary vector of the selfishness, alienation, and moral decay he abhors would require him to care about other people besides himself."

    He's become the opposite of one of those lab rats that gets a treat for pushing a button. Except by constantly firing those involved in the Russia probe, he's getting in deeper doo-doo.

    But just remember, there's nothing to all this Russian talk, right?

    So Trump is going to some place called "Camp David" today. Anyone know the name of the hotel he owns there? What's the course play like?
