General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Flynn gone. 24 days, some kind of record.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38965557

US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has resigned over allegations he discussed US sanctions with Russia before Donald Trump took office.
Mr Flynn is said to have misled officials about his call with Russia's ambassador before his own appointment.
It is illegal for private citizens to conduct US diplomacy.

Who's next? Taking all bets!

Kelly "Huck this cheap crap" conway at 5/2

Jeff "Black crime is worse, y'all" at 6/4.

Betsy "I couldn't actually spell anything over 5 letters if you paid me" devos at 5/1

Rex "I'm covered in grease!" tillerson at 3/1.

Sean "ALL IS WELL" spicer at 2/1.

Add your own.

At this point, it's probably worth asking which of the selected clowns are actually going to last the 4 years. I'm pretty sure that 50% won't make it to the 2 year mark. Expecting exceptionally wealthy people to act in the public interest is just silly at the best of times, so how long do you really need to stick in a post before you've made your mates some money? Surely you can get that shit done in less than a year and now they seriously owe you. Why stick around longer? You don't need the money and you certainly don't care about either the job or public perceptions.

You can just see some fun coming with the sackings/accepting resignations. Sooner or later (probably sooner) he's just going to sack someone. And then there will be a little road to Damascus moment for that particular cretin as they try and save face or mitigate the damage they've just done. Or just as a simple fuck you bit of revenge. I'm pretty sure that that's when the attacks on the media will really start up.

Miller is next.

I think it might be Priebus.  If Bannon takes him down, then Trump will be listening to Bannon, Miller (who is a mini-Bannon) and Jared Kushner.  Unless Ivanka leaves Kushner for Justin Trudeau, there's no way to get rid of him, but it stacks the deck in Bannon's favour, and means the RNC will be more reliant on Bannon than ever.

Priebus is already being blamed by the far-right for the Flynn debacle (don't ask how that makes sense...probably something to do with J000000000s), so the scene is being set.

[Cain]

Incidentally, I called that Harwood would be the replacement National Security Advisor for Trump 24 hours before he announced it.

You want to know how?  Easy, I just looked at who had the least negative opinions towards Russia out of the three potential candidates.  And lo and behold, Harwood is that one (though to be fair, his thinking on this topic is less "Put1n is aWeSomE <33333" and more "we could use anti-ISIS operations as the starting point to better relations with Russia").  But in comparison to Kellog and Petraeus, that is a marked difference in opinion.

[Junkenstein]

Just been looking at some of idiots (Lets just refer to trump as this, its more honest and easier to read) comments regarding Israel and the 1/2 state issue. Idiot clearly has no fucking clue here. "I like what both of them like". Assuming idiot is referring to bannon/miller. Because he can't possibly be talking about Israel or Palestine. Surely idiot isn't that stupid?

Anyone want to guess the start date of the next intifada? I reckon around June. It's practically guaranteed to come now. Betting a bowl of hummus idiots advisers use that as an excuse to push 1-state solution and royally screw over Palestinians. Again.


In other news psychiatrists have written an open letter with accusations of narcissistic personality disorder. I find this unfair. The problem isn't narcissism, its that idiot is irredeemably,hopelessly stupid and becoming the literal archetype for all things dunning-Kruger.

Hey. Hey kid, want to see the shittiest survey questions you'll see this week?

httpx://action.donaldjtrump.com/mainstream-media-accountability-survey/

Includes such idiocy as:

Do you believe that if Republicans were obstructing Obama like Democrats are doing to President Trump, the mainstream media would attack Republicans?

Words fail me

Do you trust Fox News to report fairly on Trump's presidency?

"Tell us where to spend our advertising cash!" Same question on multiple other outlets.

Were you aware that a poll was released revealing that a majority of Americans actually supported President Trump's temporary restriction executive order?

No link provided to this poll. I can't find it with google either. Feel free to add post it if you know where/what it is, I bet the methodology is hilarious.

Of 25 questions, around 20 involve the questions starting like "do you believe"

It's like a poll of "How successful have we been in making you swallow our bullshit? Very or highly? Should we go much further, or way further?"

Before you waste your time having fun, name, email address and zip code are required to "record your vote". Presumably funny answers and accurate information here will identify illegal aliens and assist in deportations. However, I suspect like the rest of the administration it's horribly deficient so having a few hundred "Tiffany trump"'s/"Hilary Clinton"/"Alec Baldwin" at the white house/clinton foundation/SNL zip codes with an email of "fuckyou@glowinthedarkface.com" may just provoke the idiot. Just a thought. It's not like the results will be reported honestly in any event so provoking a twitter rant over misuse it is probably the best approach rather than letting it work as another echo chamber for the luminous cretin.

Harward turned down Trump's National Security Advisor role 

[Salty]

Harward turned down Trump's National Security Advisor role 

[Cain]

He worked with Mattis before, so I wonder if he told him to run away and never look back?

[Junkenstein]

BBC:

A White House official said Mr Harward cited family and financial commitments, but US media said the sticking point was he wanted to bring in his own team.

By own team, I assume he means "Competent,vetted people".

[Junkenstein]

Ah wait, it turns out the BBC is just fake news:

"Tell Steve Bannon to fuck off."  I'm only guessing, but...

Harward turned down Trump's National Security Advisor role 

This is awesome.

[Cain]

Reckon General "but his emails" Petraeus will be asked?  I think he's too anti-Russia, but if Trump wants to throw a bone to the party...

Ah wait, it turns out the BBC is just fake news:

Something about that guy rang so wrong with me that by the end of the interview my eyebrows hurt. I had been making a face so hard for 3 minutes my forehead muscles cramped a little bit.

Smith then started to look into the camera and added, "Really? Your opposition was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone on the same day it was happening, and we are fools for asking those questions? No sir, we are not fools for asking those questions, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people."

Smith was defending CNN correspondent Jim Acosta.

You better believe it folks! This is a FOX NEWS ANCHOR that just can't even anymore.
