Well, I'll give Trump credit for living up to one of his campaign promises - at the rate that people are resigning and boards/councils are being disbanded, the swamp will be empty pretty soon.

What are we up to? 750,000 dimensional chess?

 
LOL, Breitbart at war with Trump and Drudge. The Trump Presidency might have been worth it after all. He hires only the best, folks.

By the time this war reaches it peak, people will be saying Jimmy Carter did more in 6 months than Trump did in his entire Presidency.

But don't worry, now Trump's going to pivot, right? The pivot had been coming for 2+ years but this time it's gonna be real, right?

Funny how Breitbart's first angle is that Trump is a Democrat now and it's a Democrat White House. If only people had warned the Trump voters...

It's too hilarious to see the guy who claimed he would "hire the best people" has fired and lost so many.

Yet somehow everyone claims Trump is just an innocent victim; a dupe -- too naive to see the "traitors" in his midst. And by "traitors" I mean those that just do happen to be largely Jewish. Hmm. Just a coincidence, right?
 
From someone that worked with Bannon for a good while:

 
At what point are those still supporting Trump going to run out of steam? It has to be exhausting, constantly deflecting and making excuses. Look, he is fracturing the Republican party. Do any Trump supporters actually want him to succeed? If his agenda is what led you to vote for him, then why do you constantly allow him to go off the rails while you give him cover and make excuses why the last asinine thing he said or tweeted was justified? It makes no sense to me. If your child was behaving like a buffoon, you would call him or her out and tell them to stop acting like a lunatic and get their excrement together. At least, I hope you would. Why? Because you care. You want them to succeed. And if they are being counterproductive and destroying their own messaging, their own goals, you would try to make them see reason, no? That's why I can't understand why Trump supporters clap like seals every time he creates a rather embarrassing distraction to his own agenda. I'm beginning to wonder if the only thing Trump supporters (the ones that are still hanging on) truly care about is having someone be their attack dog, their bully. I believe that's more the case. They like having someone go out there and say things completely over the top and insane, regardless if it's counterproductive, because they think it's sticking it in everyone's eye. And with glee, they defend it. Otherwise, they would be gritting their teeth like the rest of us and say, get him off the stage! So, I'm going to say it because it needs to be said. If you truly care about all the things you say you care about...hold him accountable, stop defending him, and quit playing rope-a-dope with a man who is showing poor judgment, and quite frankly, mental instability.

But... but... but... you do realize we would have Hillary if it wasn't for Trump

(the deflection I get from friends and family when I criticize Trump)

We wouldn't have Gorsuch!!!
 
I remember being told that Trump's lack of knowledge regarding the political arena wouldn't matter when he was elected because he was going to surround himself with the best and the brightest. So, was he a fool in his selection process (if true, how could such an outstanding businessman make such poor personnel decisions?) or did the best and brightest conclude that Trump is a boob and resign en masse?
 
With all the traveling done by the Obama family I never remember hearing the Secret Service has run out of money to protect them like they have now for the Trumps.

Maybe it has happened and I don't remember it.

Regardless, I expect to hear some outrage over this.

I'm outraged!

Actually I'm not. I think his excessive number of vacations and trips to Mar-a-Lago are some of his more minor transgressions.

Wonder how much retinal implants are going to cost us since Trump stared at the sun 3 different times without eclipse glasses? He really is 12 years old.
 
If Trump wanted to remove any doubt he's a racist he did it tonight.

How do you pardon Arpaio and then brag about it on Twitter unless you don't care about brown people?

So, when Obama pardoned drug dealers he did not care about the drug problem in the country ? And when Clinton commuted the sentences of FALN terrorists he was unsympathetic to terrorism ? Give me a break!

Are you okay with Arpaio's pardon?
