Flynn, gone. Puzder, withdraws. Bannon, pissed at Breitbart. Kellyanne Boozelizard, counseled.
MSNBC has banned Kellyanne from appearing on the network. They accused her of trolling.
I wouldn't be surprised if Priebus isn't the next to leave.

I'm old enough to not only remember Contra-gate but the original Watergate as well. And I'm feeling the same vibes again. When this stuff starts to roll, we're going to see some real action at the Congressional committee level. Only this time around, Trump wouldn't have Henry K. to lead into the Oval Office to "pray for the Presidency". Before this is over, Donald is going to wake up one day to find himself very much alone in the dark at the top of the stairs.

I think this every morning at 3AM for DJT.
I'm not sure what the technical description of his condition is but I think it's something like "he was not breast feed as a baby"
Plus whatever that crap he's putting on his hair is not helping...

Just heard some interviews with some 45 fans in Jefeland. It's great to see the country is just like ST.

"good people do not support fascism, bigotry or hate."...
No...
but "Christians" do... Locker, that's the hardest thing for me to wrap my brain around. That there are that many people happy to overlook all the hate this guy spewed. I don't think you can do that unless you share in those same feelings.
I'm Christian (Catholic) but have always been leery of the political evangelical movement. To me, they're too willing to use their faith as a proxy for political power. We had the Catholic Church do that in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and it didn't work out too well, even for other Catholics. There has supposedly been a rift in the evangelical church between older ones who supported Trump and younger ones who couldn't understand why they would do such a thing. I think any Christian (or Catholic) who voted for that jackass does not understand their own faith. Judge people by the values they espouse, not what faith they claim to be a member of.

Christians seem to hate intelligence, education, caring and Minorities.
They have given up on empathy of others (The teachings of Jesus) and replaced it with extreme tribalism
What kind of God would want his people uneducated and disdainful of smart people?
Not any real God..

Just watched that "press conference" or whatever it was.
This is not a man trying to hang on the presidency.
I paraphrase here;
"Did you ask Pence to discuss sanctions with the Russians before the inaugeration?"
"No, but if I thought he wasn't, I would have."
Where and when have we heard that before?
.

That is almost exactly what Nixon said about the watergate break in. I was in high school then. Ironically enough i was in Soviet Russia, specifically, Leningrad & Moscow, when Watergate first started to break.
We are going to hear this comparison more and more.
So I think what he's trying to do, what his ambition at this time is, is to be a bigger president/crook than Nixon!
"Nixon was a fine crook for his time, but nobody, nobody, does, presidential crookery, like We do! Trump crockery, is the Best, most virile, crookery there is!
Nobody does it better than Trump!"

Saw a transcript of the presser, I am in total agreement with one thing 45 said
"I don't think there's ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what we've done."

That is absolutely not true giving our founding fathers. And certainly Lincoln and Johnson came close to attracting the best and the brightest.

As posted on another thread
Russians. They are no different than anybody else. They are human with human needs and emotions. They want to make Russia great again after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. They have endured economic hardships, their pride was/has been hurt.
And Putin and his cronies saw this. Putin already had the background, training and connections.
He ostensibly wants to restore the pride of the Russian people while lining his own pockets and feathering his reputation as the supreme leader and the Russians (many not all) have sucked it up.
He is perhaps the world’s wealthiest individual, by some reports his assets are worth around $200 billion… that dwarves anybody.
He found in Donald Trump a kindred spirit. The difference is Putin is shrewd, Trump just a marketer, a face.
Do not kid yourselves, there is collusion between the camps. I cannot prove it but the truth will out.
UK defence minister Michael Fallon is correct in his assessment that “Russia wants to be a competitor not a partner to the West”.
It appears, at least to me, that Mr Trump has tied his ribbon, his scarf, to Putin, and I believe I am not wrong in that. Looking at his cabinet choices, Mr Trump has not drained the swamp, just replaced it with his own snakes and alligators.
Mr Tillerson, perhaps closer to Putin than either General Kelly or Donald Trump.
These are precipitous times. In my opinion, Donald Trump is betraying America, whether knowingly or not. His ignorance and narcissism cannot see through the fog that he is a puppet of outside forces.
Those are my thoughts and time will tell if I and others who have seen and warned against the forthcoming deluge of problems are correct. It appears many Americans (a sizable minority) have put their faith in the wrong person.

Jimmy carter was a nuclear engineer in the navy, a more prestigious job than fighter pilot. You got to be not only smart, but extremely level headed. Trump would have never made it in the military
