Fight to Replace Hope Hicks Is Now a ‘Smear Campaign’
“The race to become the next White House Communications Director has degenerated into a round of backstabbing and factionalism that has taken aback even the most jaded of White House aides and allies,” the Daily Beast reports…Stuart Stevens: “Every job process involving this White House quickly slides into contest of who is most willing to degrade themselves the most for a job they will later be ashamed of holding. It’s why the available talent pool is so limited.” ============================== Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball: “Republicans already have more retirements than any presidential party in a midterm cycle from 1974 to 2018, and they are not far behind Democrats in 1978 in terms of the open seats they hold. Because seats lacking an incumbent are more difficult for the incumbent party to retain, this situation should deeply worry the GOP.”
Oh no; relax, folks! That quaint malarky about the wheel of fortune turning doesn’t apply anymore. =============================== “Dealing a setback to Gov. Scott Walker and other Republicans, a judge ruled the governor must call special elections to fill two vacant seats in the Legislature,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
“Walker declined to call those elections after two GOP lawmakers stepped down to join his administration in December. His plan would have left the seats vacant for more than a year.” ================================ From TPM: Trump Lawyer John Dowd Resigns[Click] Dowd’s decision comes shortly after Trump added former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova to his legal team.
Cheetolini is too grandiose to handle questioning. He thinks he's the biggest, smartest, most powerful man in the room. I hope he does try to talk to them. He'll be stepping right into a bear trap.
I still like my hypothesis that Dear Leader has toxoplasmosis. Rats with toxoplasmosis are attracted to the odor of cat urine, with predictable consequences. Sounds analogous.
"In the middle of the afternoon, Trump announced on Twitter that he had fired his National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and replaced him with neoconservative crackpot John Bolton. This means Trump is on his third National Security Adviser in just over a year, after Michael Flynn resigned and cut a plea deal against Trump, and Bob Harward and David Petraeus both turned the job down. The hiring of John Bolton might be Trump’s most unhinged move yet, as Bolton believes nations like North Korea and Iran should be invaded and bulldozed just for fun.
This all comes after Donald Trump recently hired new Trump-Russia attorney Joseph diGenova, a conspiracy theorist who likes to go on Fox News and claim that Trump was somehow framed by the “deep state.” In other words, as Trump continues to further self destruct and descend into sheer madness, he’s surrounding himself with people who are just as whacked out as he is. Trump has virtually no political muscle left as he circles the drain, but he seems to be having fun setting himself on fire on his way down"
