And now the rumor is both Priebus and Bannon are going.. If true, it's kinda funny that the two major wings of the White House on election day are being released before we're 100 days in. Combined with the moves on Syria I wonder if some of the folks who backed him are realizing that Trump doesn't stand for them, he stands for Trump "winning".

I would be more than happy with that...

Is there a more worthless Democrat than Tulsi Gabbard?

Zell Miller?

But, yeah, Gabbard is a fucking nut job.

Trump is thinking outside the box for NK.

Nukes in SK is a terrible idea. It won't make SK any safer, as we already can wipe out NK, but it will make China go ballistic.

Interesting WaPo article. I've seen all of the "Wag The Dog" and "distraction" and "collusion with Russia to make it look like they're not in cahoots" type theories, but this makes the most sense to me: the man likes his intel simple and with lots of pictures, and these pictures were gruesome. It really seems that with Trump, Occam's razor usually applies.

Perfect response from Syria, seemingly back to work a day after.

Looks as if Trump is starting to enjoy his new shiny toys. The world feels a little more dangerous right now, not sure what the grand plan is but something needs to be done about NK sooner or later.

I guess the other 100k murders made no difference, it was the last few by chemical attacks. Humanitarian response is missile attacks, not taking in harmless refugees. It just gets dumber by the minute.

Oh good Lord.


They should have threatened to blow up the legislative filibuster if the GOP blew up the judicial filibuster. Instead, they'll let the GOP steal a court seat and then reset the rules so they can do it all over again.

Idiots.

Aside from the theft part (since they really only used tools readily available to them) I wouldn't argue with a whole lot that you just said.

It's a major reason that I'm still not entirely without hope that the good guys WILL eventually win ... we're willing to do whatever it takes, the opposition seems to lack that.

Has there ever been an administration this bad at talking about the Holocaust?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/11/politi...mical-weapons/

Holocaust centers?

It's like the YMCA... {please fill in your own horrible joke so that I don't get banned/arrested for the various ones going through my head}

Almost like the administration is stacked with people who have spent a lifetime blaming the Jews for the world's problems.

Hopefully they have a gym with lots of basketball rings.

I feel sorry for Spicer. Its good that he's getting ragged on some (karma) but I think he should get a break for mis-speaking.

I think he may fundamentally not understand what transpired during the holocaust based on his mega-fumbling chance at explaining it.

The reason I say that is the bit about "holocaust centers" and saying Hitler was "not using the gas on his own people." I mean... plenty of German citizens died in concentration camps.

He's objectively pretty bad at his job.

There are an entire generation of 14 year olds that understand that the Hitler analogy is a terrible idea. I don't think it's completely beyond the pail to think that the press secretary of the President of the United States should have the basic competency to recognize that as well.

And after all that, it was a terrible Hitler analogy that was 100% incorrect and insulting. So yeah.

I sort of feel bad for Spicer. I get the sense that he could be a really competent middle manager in the right sort of job (like managing a retail establishment), but he's just not cut out for the position that he's in.

The one guy qualified for the job's current status is unfortunately unknown.

Spicey done d00d it again: He said that he didn't want to be a distraction from (Trump's) "Efforts to de-stabilize the region")

Friendly advice Sean: At this point, you're not going to get away from the late night comics and others lampooning you tonight. Go home, get a good night's rest, and try again tomorrow, and write down what you're going to say.

Tommy Christopher on Twitter: "Wow: While apologizing for Hitler gaffe, Spicer literally says he doesn't want to distract from Trump's attempts "to destabilize the region" https://t.co/jlCwC93Wn4"

In fairness, the degree of difficulty for that position under the current administration is off the charts.

At this point, all Americans should just make a point of giving Sean Spicer a big 'ol hug any time we see him.

Either that or he should get Kellyanne Conway up on the podium as his co-anchor and they could just double down on what they're doing. Americans have never lost by someone doubling down on a bad deal.

He probably would have Peter Principled up to around that level, but he happened to know a guy who knew a guy and managed to "fall up" into the most stress filled PR job of all time.

If that doesn't work, add two more people. If four press secretaries doesn't work, then maybe presidential administration isn't your game.

Pepsi: That was the biggest PR blunder of the week, year maybe.

United: Hold my beer.

Sean Spicer: LEEEEEEEEEERROOOOOOOY JEEEENNNNNNKINS!

Honestly that particular phrase doesn't bother me that much. But of course the internet/twitter exploded or something over it.

Have to say that even when the D does not win this special election in Kansas-r, the GOP might be dropping a few bricks about the swing in five months (In November, it went 60-30 R, right now it is 50-49D.

Now, special elections are rare creatures, but seriously, a 31 point swing? Even if it's a 10-15 point win for the Republican, this bodes ill for R's in 2018. (of course, I just might be wishing on a star..)

If it was taken in isolation, I would agree. In the context of what Spicer said earlier, I can understand the offense.

So in a day, the administration saw the following:

They forgot about the Holocaust
Almost lost a solidly red district
Saw their favorite pundit "take a break"
Had the Sec. of State ask why we should care about Ukraine
Had it revealed that a campaign advisor was under federal investigation for working with Russian spies.

That's a pretty solid day for any administration. I guess the cherry would be if they forgot about scheduling a photo op for Easter with a bunch of kids on the White House lawn.

which pundit is "taking a break?"

I'm surprised they didn't cue up another missile attack on some Middle Eastern country.

yes yes I'm sure he's had it scheduled for months now.

To be fair, Montenegro was good news

My guess is he'll survive this. There are plenty of other sponsors out there willing to take the risk.

Don't the shows around him get a ratings bump too? Also if ratings remain high couldn't they also use his show to plug other Fox projects?

It's followed by what's sure to be more winning today.
