Of all the arseholes on (or formerly on) the Trump bandwagon I think Nunberg is my new favourite. That is some absolutely top grade melting down. I look forward to hearing more from this man, although I suspect it's going to be tough to top this effort.

Swamp draining at its finest.

Boss Tweed would stare in disbelief at the audacity of this administration.

A man like Ringo has a great empty hole through the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

This will be an interesting week. I wonder who will leave the White House this week. I am betting on Cohn.

Make America Filthy Again!

And what's worse is that is it far, far easier to destroy regulations than it is to reinstate them given the depth of the pockets of those who are affected in the two scenarios.

Pure scum. History will judge them in the harshest fashion.

Gary Cohn gone according to BBC breaking news.

What a farce.

Stormy Daniels is sueing Micahel "Says Who" Cohen, Trumps lawyer saying the NDA isn't valid because Trump never signed. Cohen has been harrasing her and making legal threats. And guess what? Theirs images and "property"!

This is all just a nothing burger...

Add to this the damage he is inflicting on the 4th estate, the judiciary, and America's standing in the world and the picture is grim indeed.

PORNSTAR SUES PRESIDENT

Extra, extra, read all about it,

It's bizarre that this kind of headline is barely a ripple these days

PORNSTAR SUES PRESIDENT

Extra, extra, read all about it,

It's bizarre that this kind of headline is barely a ripple these days

Goes to show how low the Clintons and Obama, even Romney, figures on the USA public's scale of opinion of basic decency. Establishment politicians... together with the Bushes, Cruz, McCain, Pelosi and other lowlife.

Compared to them The Don is a veritable saint ... pornstars and all.

Moron or Troll?

So over the last seven days or so the 'non chaotic just energetic' POTUS has:

Announced tariffs which will probably spark a trade war with the EU, China and Canada. and then antogonised those countries/blocs via twitter
Had his communications director resign
Found out that his Head of Middle East Peace (and every other portfolio) has been downgraded in his security clearance
been sued by a porn star
had his chief economic adviser resign
had a twitter spat with 'Alex' Bladwin
Held a very productive meeting with lawamakers on guns, where he said he would take away peoples guns where necessary cause he wasn't afraid of the NRA, and then back tracked after a meeting with the NRA
Had a former adviser have a nervous breakdown on TV over the Mueller investigation

and that was just in the last week, but there is no chaos in the Whitehouse - just great energy.

Don't forget his chum who dumped his steel stocks right before the tariff announcement, and Jared's Qatari loans malarkey.

In a few years time, looking back at all this not-chaos, it's going to see unbelievable that some of these huge stories with massive international ramifications can be so easily overlooked, just because of the sheer quantity of shit going down.

Don't forget his chum who dumped his steel stocks right before the tariff announcement, and Jared's Qatari loans malarkey.

The claim that Trump had spoken with North Korea confounded foreign policy observers. “It was not clear whether Trump was describing a direct conversation or messages sent through diplomatic channels,” reported the Washington Post.

The answer turns out to be: neither. Trump was describing a conversation with South Korea. An official from the National Security Council tells Yonhap News Agency, a South Korean publication, that Trump “was referring to his March 1 phone call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.” So Trump was close, geographically, but instead of describing a breakthrough exchange with the totalitarian enemy that is developing nukes and threatening to kill us, he was describing the democratic ally that has no nukes and is trying not to be killed.

Trump was right that it was a Korea, but he had the wrong one. There are so many Koreas these days, it is hard to keep track.

He also got North and South Korea confused.

Easy mistake to make, I guess.
