Donald Trump's Fatal Errors

[javero]

"For the first time in his life, Mr. Trump is on the public payroll and subject to a tangle of laws and rules no businessman — especially one accustomed to overseeing every aspect of a relatively small family business — would tolerate."

Thanks for sharing, sabrelady.  The excerpt above paints the perfect portrait of the current state of affairs.  His company has always been closely-held so he's never had to account to corporate stakeholders nor to other board members.  He's lived the life of a virtual autocrat, until now.  Folks in this town are not about to acquiesce to the Trump doctrine.

Conway cleared in investigation

The White House has cleared Kellyanne Conway of wrongdoing, after the top aide hawked Ivanka Trump’s fashion line in a TV interview last month.

“Upon completion of our inquiry, we concluded that Ms. Conway acted inadvertently and is highly unlikely to do so again,” White House deputy counsel Stefan C. Passantino wrote in a letter to the Office of Government Ethics.

“It is noted that Ms. Conway made the statement in question in a light, off-hand manner while attempting to stand up for a person she believed had been unfairly treated and did so without nefarious motive or intent to benefit personally,” Passantino adds.

Of course Conjob was cleared by "the White House".  It's like asking if Clyde would clear Bonnie of robbing a bank.

[adamgreer]

Did anyone really think the White House would find her guilty of anything? Really? Of course they "cleared" her. That means nothing.

Grace Jones sums up how I feel about the Trump administration.

"Bull****"

And if I wander down the wrong road,
It's alright baby, just let me go,
If I get tired of all those assholes,
It's alright cause I want them to know.

I'm sick and tired of all this bull****,
Rough ****, same ****,
Hey Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on.

And on the road I ride through Richmond
Rich man, You know the business I'm in
And feeling sorry, makes me feel mad,
Someday, uh baby, I play to win.

[Mister Matt]

I was never a big fan of her hair.

[South Florida]

The odds are even money at sports books that Trump serves out his first term, wow.

 

[sabrelady]

His demographic still loves him and believes in him.

[South Florida]

The fake news is on fire today.  Looking forward to the real stuff at 2PM with Chris Wallace.

[SweetLips]

NYTIMES takes on the intolerant lefts sexist agenda against KellyAnne. 

BWW KellyAnne Haters. many many instances right on this thread alone of the sexism the NYTIMES is writing about.  Rather than feel shame, lets have a teachable moment

Sexist Political Criticism Finds a New Target: Kellyanne Conway

What powerful political woman is mocked for her clothes, is the target of pictures on Twitter depicting her as haggard and is routinely called a witch and a bitch?

If you guessed Hillary Clinton, you’re right.But if you guessed Kellyanne Conway, you’re right, too

Mirya R. Holman, an assistant professor of political science at Tulane University who studies gender and politics, said, “This does mimic what conservative women have said in the past: ‘You liberals think you’re so enlightened, but we still get people saying vile things about us.’”

Jennifer Palmieri, the director of communications for the Clinton campaign, who memorably clashed with Ms. Conway at a postelection forum at Harvard, also sees echoes of the sexism that dogged her candidate in the attacks on Ms. Conway.

She said she believed Ms. Conway should be held accountable for her actions. But she noted that while Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s chief strategist, is portrayed as an “evil genius” who cannily promotes images of an America at risk from immigrants and foreign competitors, Ms. Conway is depicted as “crazy” for devising and promoting similar messages.

“What I find really disturbing is because he’s a man, that’s really smart and strategic,” Ms. Palmieri said. “Why is there not a theory behind what Kellyanne does?”

[adamgreer]

Anyone referring to Bannon as a "genius" is on the right, not the left. He's just as crazy as ConJob. 

[Petralicious]

FTR Jennifer Palmieri, the director of communications for the Clinton campaign is the one who used the term for Steve Bannon, Not me.

[Magdalicious]

Look like the PC Police have converted Petra. 

[Petralicious]

I do not understand what you mean

[Magdalicious]

No PJ. No berniest babies. You know that. Ask mod to check IP for proof. Mod can check your IP too!

[Mister Matt]

OMG...Petra is still claiming Magda is PJ?  How embarrassing.

[Petralicious]

Kudos to Chelsea Clinton,who has faced similar hate and insults.

Chelsea Clinton ?@ChelseaClinton

Despicable. I hope @KellyannePolls receives the apology she deserves-certainly never thought I'd write that & I mean every word. https://twitter.com/lissandravilla/status/837418645793959937 …

You are sensitive snowflake

[A Director]

Oh, dear, Kellyanne told another lie today.

[adamgreer]

You're making things up again, Conway. 

[adamgreer]

Kelly Anne is like the gift that keeps on giving. Today's gems:

"I'm not in the job of having evidence. That's what investigations are for."

Also: "I'm not Inspector Gadget."

And last but not least: "microwaves that turn into cameras, et cetera. So we know that that is just a fact of modern life."

FACT: 6 Trump administration members lied about Russian contacts and 9 Russians mentioned in the Steele dossier are dead

 

Wondering when the first dead American will turn up.

And who it will be...
