  1. Only the best people, Dotard? And insulting his intelligence when he’s not a person of color?

  2. I don’t know if I can deal with any more Man is a Moron moments.

    In a previous story it was stated that WH staffers should keep their heads down and just do their jobs. Now that is a story I think is worth pursuing. Who is thinking up these “cage the kids”? Who keeping SHS away from questioning the Pres. about this, that and everything? Who has more power Shine or Kelly? And what in the FUCK is Jared doing? (could also add KAC and Ivanka)

  3. “Every President deserves an Attorney General they have confidence in."

    Several senators and Justices on the Supreme Court subscribe to the unitary executive theory that the president has the power to control the entire executive branch. The DOJ is an executive department. Trump is the only person Trump has confidence in. Therefor, Trump should nominate himself as AG, the Senate will confirm him and the Supreme Court will support the confirmation in the face of any challenge.

    Graham is appeased and the problem is solved.

  4. You’re his Boss, Donnie. Why don’t you just tell Beauregard Secessions what to do? Give him explicit orders to do what you want, or fire his sorry Reb ass?

    Huh?

    Oh yeah, I forgot, face-to-face, you are an emmeffing coward.

    And you lose “plausible deniability” over what happens.

    Putz!

    ETA-- I like “churlish lout” also. @mattinpa
