re: #2 Charles Johnson
As I said downstairs, Trump is angling for his own private police force, by urging local police to enforce federal laws and regs, and probably Trumpian tweets. It’s a dangerous tactic, and someone needs to call him out about it.
Remember the Mooch’s first press conference, the one where he kissed Trump’s ass up and down and said “He sinks 3 foot putts”?
Here’s how that came out in the official WH transcript.
“But here’s what I tell you about the President. He’s the most competitive person I’ve ever met. Okay, I’ve seen this guy throw a dead spiral through a tire. I’ve seen him at Madison Square Garden with a topcoat on. He’s standing in the key and he’s hitting foul shots and swishing them, okay? He sinks 30-foot putts. I don’t see this guy as a guy that’s ever under siege. This is a very, very competitive person.

The Guardian’s take on the Mooch.
Anthony Scaramucci moves quickly, but not always coherently. In so many ways, the new White House communications director is so much like his boss: grotesquely entertaining like a drunken party before the projectile vomiting begins.
Scaramucci, as his call to the New Yorker so aptly demonstrated, is undisciplined and unprincipled, over-reaching and under-qualified, petty, vindictive, and above all, in love with his own image on TV. In short, he’s the perfectly-coiffed face of Donald Trump’s presidency.
What a total shithole of an administration.
Make America Afraid Again
Trump’s “slice and dice” rhetoric about brown-on-white violence has a single purpose.
By Jamelle Bouie
“…On Friday Trump will visit Long Island, where 15 members of MS-13 were arrested—a trip that would fit a political plan to demagogue Hispanic immigrants as imminent threats to white Americans, and white women in particular. Trump is aware that he’s flailing, and to rebuild support—to re-establish that bond with his voters—he’s turning to an old, crude, and dangerous rhetorical well.”

re: #26 Dr Lizardo
“And I thought he would stand behind me on this.”
The New Republic’s take on the Mooch.
Trump, “Mooch,” and the Rise of the New York Douchebag
Normally, a president under siege would not hire someone like Anthony Scaramucci, the loudmouth financier known as “the Mooch” who joined the White House last week as communications director. Donald Trump’s strife-ridden administration already has more than its share of troubles, with the Russia collusion investigation escalating, the president feuding with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and the Republican discord over Obamacare repeal (RIP, for now). In the midst of this turmoil, Scaramucci created his own drama by calling up New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza and insulting his White House colleagues in the crudest possible terms. Scaramucci called Reince Priebus “a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” and compared himself favorably to Trump’s chief strategist, saying, “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock. I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the president. I’m here to serve the country.”
In most administrations, Scaramucci’s public badmouthing of his colleagues would be a major liability, likely a fireable offense. But Trump operates from a different set of rules—the same rules, it would seem, that Scaramucci operates from. Reading his rant to The New Yorker, it was hard not to recall the infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump boasts about sexually assaulting women: “You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy.” Indeed, Scaramucci is a sort of mini-Trump: brash, hyper-masculine, bro-loyal, sexually crass, and street smart, perhaps, but not actually smart.
Which is to say, Trump and his new minion aren’t just colorful personalities, but members of a particular species: the New York douchebag. That’s why Scaramucci may long remain in good standing—as long as he doesn’t break one golden rule.

re: #29 goddamnedfrank
White House communications chief Anthony Scaramucci dropped jaws when he cursed a blue streak about chief of staff Reince Priebus — but President Trump loved it, according to a report.
“Reince is a f-king paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci railed at Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker, whom he wanted to reveal who leaked a story about him having dinner at the White House.
During his profanity-laden diatribe, he also targeted Trump’s chief strategist.
“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own c- -k,” he said. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the f- -king strength of the president. I’m here to serve the country.”
Trump “loved the Mooch quotes,” Axios reported, using Scaramucci’s nickname.

Pierce, about Murkowski:
She, along with Susan Collins of Maine, were the true stalwarts against the bill, voting against every attempt to demolish the ACA, and even voting against the bill coming to the floor, which is something that McCain couldn’t bring himself to do. Murkowski even stood up against some clumsy—and marginally illegal—threats from Ryan Zinke, the Secretary of the Interior. She and Collins were implacable. If you told me that some of their courage rubbed off on McCain, I wouldn’t argue with you.

I have never ceased to be amazed that some people have failed to research Obamacare for themselves, repeat the lies they’ve heard, and keep getting OWNED by those who do know what they’re talking about. Instead of being embarrassed, they persist in pushing the false information they’ve internalized. Their “experts” are Hannity, Limbaugh, Trump, Gutfield, Carlson, and others on the Right who don’t know sh*t about sh*t. As a retired educator, it has always pissed me off to hear those who have zero training in any field of education tell educators what they ought to/should do.

Wait, that account has been around since 2015?
well, regardless of Johnny Mavericks motivations, I’m happy he voted the way that he did.
Can the ACA be improved, yes it can, even though it’s coming into being was bipartisan, none of the GOP voted for it (thanks to Mr Boehner and Mr. McConnell).
That was all fucking kabuki then and all of the posing since has been just that, as the GOP hoped to get what they really wanted, some additional income for those that don’t need it at the behest of everyone else.
There can be improvements made to the bill, we could get all of the states to sign onto the Medicare expansion, we could improve the subsidies structure, we can try and do a better job of incorporating and accounting for change in the industry, new tests, adoption of newer gene based treatments, additional research etc… expansion of mental health and opioid treatment…
Would I prefer single payer, sure, but I also understand that we have hundreds of thousands of people working in insurance based jobs tied to healthcare, forms coders, folks that establish procedures and protocols for care itself, who gets paid and how much etc etc etc… there’s an entire industry at work there in the US. Dismantling that private sector isn’t easy and shouldn’t be done cavalierly.

Anthony Scaramucci, the White House’s potty-mouthed new communications director, has been dumped by his beautiful blond wife because of his “naked political ambition,” multiple sources exclusively tell Page Six.
I was putting my money on naked coke fueled rage with a side of toady.

I used to breed snakes and rats to feed them. I had a rat get away long enough to go feral once, and damn did it bite the fuck out of my hand when I caught it. Rat teeth will go through your hand and meet in the middle. So much blood.

re: #114 Big Beautiful Door
Under the Constitution, once Congress has certified that he won a majority of the electors and his term begins, he is the President, with all the powers of the Presidency, until his term of office ends one way or another. I tried to explain this to birthers who thought everything Obama ever did in office could be negated if only they could prove he wasn’t eligible.
i get the constitutional argument (and im not arguing with you)
there’s something pernicious in this
congress essentially certifying an election without all the facts / knowledge that maybe no one is aware of / may come out later is like like hiding to outlast the statute of limitations
then pardoning yourself (ie admitting the crimes) and keep the office is perverse because the framers didnt actually put in writing “you cant steal the office”
unwinding everything that he did up the that point i admit is a different argument

His follows on twitter are fascinating. He follows a bunch of OFA accounts and a million television and newspaper people. I can see the blind ambition of becoming trump, a celeb. Guaranteed he will suck trumps dick because he is officially now famous and can use that to catapult into some tv gig.
I don’t see anything really gay but for an author he follows (some sex things relating to women - one of which is 20 year olds, but he’s not THAT old, so no harm no foul there).

And the fun thing about the rat’s teeth (that go through your hand) is that they are quite blunt. Strong ass jaws overcome that lack of sharpness

I don’t know the guy that just said it, but it was fun. On Nicole Wallace’s 4 PM show.
He said it is the Silence of the Lambs White House and Trump just announced he ate Priebus’ LIver with fava beans.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
Reince was the guy who made Republicans in Congress and the Senate think they could have some control over Trump. If he has been replaced, then that’s a real dramatic change in the relationship.
Instead of firing the guy who went on a vulgar tirade and embarrassed the whole country, Trump fires the Mooch’s enemy. Peak Trump.

Everything I need to know about Kelly:
One:
He questioned President Barack Obama’s decision to open combat jobs to women.
He oversaw the Guantanamo Bay prison.
He will likely be responsible for building Trump’s promised wall.
Two:
9. At his last Pentagon news conference before retiring, General Kelly offered his take on what would happen if former detainees returned to the battlefield: “If they go back to the fight, we’ll probably kill them. So that’s a good thing.”
I thought Price was supposed to take the fall for Trump’s health care fiasco. Trump lied to the Boy Scouts?

Heh. Chuck Todd just said there was a good chance Reince was still on Air Force 1 when Trump did the announcement tweet. They said Reince probably deboarded the plane out the back door.
Trump likes to shame them too.
One more crack in the connection to the Republicans. One more reason for the Senate and House to grow more sick of the whole thing.
Also…would anyone trust Priebus from not blabbing?
Steve Bannon will now have to Reince his own Priebus.

Yeah, he may be that guy in real life.
They are talking about one thing Kelly may be in place do is clean up The West Wing of the Trump White House. Sounds like the need for a discipline guy to most likely cut the perceived leaks, present a coordinated one message, etc.
One guy said it is an admittance that 6 months in Trump is a failed presidency.

Never going to stop leaking. I don’t think for this white house, at least. Obama’s was pretty good but there are way too many people who do not like or appreciate trump.
