You know, I agree with you; at least with Dubbya, you knew you weren't having to deal with a bat guano loon...
...and I bet, somewhere, Dick Nixon is cackling with glee... <O>

It pretty much official -- the White House is now a bad SNL comedy sketch:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...ushpmg00000313 It looks like the Oval Office is now occupied by General Bullmoose (or Bull-Something): This is the sort of thing some one would expect of a petty dictator of some third world banana republic... <O>

Apparently the Dems latest meme is that Trumps cabinet could not possibly support his agenda so it all must be as scripted as a CNN covered anti-isis protest.

Another article on the Trump "Love-In":
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/u...vity.html?_r=0 I also found it amusing Trump was unaware of where Mike Pence, the Vice-President of the US, the person a "heartbeat away" from the Presidency, was sitting: Pence was directly across the table from Trump... Trump's claim of being the 'most productive' President ever (absent FDR, as Trump "modestly" noted) has also drawn a lot of WTH reaction. Here's a couple of articles on the matter... First, an article from a well-known Far-Right GOP leaning DC newspaper that appears to be the source for Trump's newest puffery: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...-into-law-tha/ Now, an article from a news-source, though admittedly not in Trump's corner, still exercised the time-honored skill of doing actual research: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.645058e64ce6 Somehow, Trump and his 'cheerleaders' haven't seemed to grasp the fact just passing a piece of legislation in the House of Representatives doesn't make it a fully passed bill into law, it must also pass the Senate; the fact legislation must pass both the houses of Congress is a basic truth known by every grade school student who has been through a basic civics class, or has even watched the Schoolhouse Rock episode "I'm Just A Bill". Either Trump and his minions are, indeed, not "Smarter Than A 5th Grader", or Trump and his minions have so low an opinion of the intelligence of his base as to think they just won't know the truth. Either Trump is a lot dumber than thought or he's banking on his perception his base is really dumb; not flattering or reassuring, either way... Being a baseball fan, I was amused by the baseball analogy at the end of the article... Quote:
...right out of the Oval Office... <O>

Maybe because it wasn't really scripted?

It looks like most of your missed the reason for the meeting of staff kissing butt so to speak.
Priebus must have put it together in order to see who goes and who stays. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/0...eadline-239411 Quote:

Better and more reliable than the well-known steaming pile of Trump...

As this spectacle unfolds the people that voted Trump into office are probably out doubling down on buying firearms and ammunition. If the guy that won the office isn't given the chance to govern, there are other ways to go about things. What's been going on is just confirming their beliefs about the vast swamp that is the District of Columbia, and about their opponents.

The most glaring turn-down Trump got was when highly respected ex-Seal Vice Adm. Robert Harward declined an offer to fill fired Mike Flynn's post of National Security Adviser; Harward was so dismayed by the shambles in the White House, he was quoted as referring to the situation as "a s**t sandwich": http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...-down-job.html I heard a report/discussion on an in-depth news radio program where various experts, of both parties, discussed the staffing problems in the Trump administration. One of the GOP speakers probably said it best: the perception is Trump and his circle are crazy, and no one sensible wants to work for crazy... <O>
