    Chaos is the goal for Trump. To keep everyone, both allies and enemies, on the edge at all times, always wondering what crazy thing he might say or do next, with the only constant being his greed and corruption. This is no way to live and especially no way to run the world.

  2. The final decision maker is Trump’s accountant…

    Does that help?

  3. Ok, lets put the erupting scandal surrounding Kevin McCarthy in a Chinese context.

    Bo Xilai was one of the eight princelings headed for the top, the seven-member Permanent Standing Committee of the CPC. But then, fucking relatives…

    Bo was considered a likely candidate for promotion to the elite Politburo Standing Committee in 18th Party Congress in 2012. His political fortunes came to an abrupt end following the Wang Lijun incident, in which his top lieutenant and police chief sought asylum at the American consulate in Chengdu. Wang claimed to have information about the involvement of Bo Xilai and his wife Gu Kailai in the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood, who allegedly had close financial ties to the two.

    In the fallout, Bo was removed as the party chief of Chongqing and lost his seat on the Politburo. He was later stripped of all his positions and lost his seat at the National People’s Congress, and was eventually expelled from the party. In 2013, Bo was found guilty of corruption, stripped of all his assets, and sentenced to life imprisonment. He is incarcerated at Qincheng Prison.

  4. You silly goose, the final decision maker is the last guy to talk to Trump. Everyone knows that.

    Now if you want to be the last guy to talk to the toadpole you’ll have to write some checks. Not sure where to send the checks though since Cohen’s singing to every prosecutor who’ll take his calls.

  5. Jared the Silent is your man, Ambassador ! Say Xi sent you !
