Gen X liberals still love him. Bill Maher hasn't been worth watching for a long time. He has a zinger here and there, but his show always feels late to the party.

I'm not crazy about him, or his show, but he's still genuinely a good comedian. Eventually HBO will cancel him, but I'd like to see someone like Jon Stewart take his place with a roundtable type show. A man can dream...

So where are we standing right now for withdrawals from military nominations? So far it seems like they're dropping like flies left to right, and while it's simple enough to see why Harward and Petraeus would decline a seat as NSA director for all the incredibly suspect requirements the Trump administration is forcing on them, seeing Army and Navy sitting unattended is forcing me to consider what else is going on behind the scenes, assuming these candidates aren't just trying to save face.

This counterintelligence inquiry includes but is not limited to examination of financial transactions by Russian individuals and companies who are believed to have links to Trump associates. The transactions under scrutiny involve investments by Russians in overseas entities that appear to have been undertaken through middlemen and front companies, two people briefed on the probe said.

Quick read is that an NSC aide (NSC's senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs) went full "gently caress this poo poo" at a closed-door think tank, Donnie found out, and fired him. Fired aide "gave a detailed and embarrassing readout of Trump's call with Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto"

Interesting to note is that the article states Trump is "interviewing candidates for his replacement this weekend at Mar-a-Lago", which roughly translates to "picking club members at random and asking if they'd like some free publicity."

While Trump plays duck duck goose trying to find someone willing to put up with his bullshit, Pence is hanging out in Munich for the 2017 Munich Security Conference. This is possibly the most important security conference of the year, but basically nothing interesting is happening so far. Pence is reaffirming America's commitment to Europe and NATO, Jens Stoltenberg is yelling at Europeans to spend 2% on defense (which Italy and Germany are still bitching publicly about, the Italians claiming that investing in education is equivalent to defense spending-good job, guys), and Sergey Lavrov is talking about a "post-West world order" again. Laughably, he's also claiming that Moscow wants a "post-fake era" despite his country being the world's top exporter of state-sponsored propaganda and disinformation.

Pence also claimed that the Islamic State is the top threat to the West, which, you know, whatever. Deutsche Welle has been doing some decent coverage at http://www.dw.com/en/at-munich-security-conference-defense-ministers-mull-nato-future/a-37609339 (and then you can click on other links at the bottom). Finally,

Let's cut Turkey some slack here: you would sour too when uniting forces involves dragging your pilots out of bed to send them on a mission before throwing them back in jail.

Trump Tower is advertising the security provided by the Secret Service as an amenity

quote:

Less than a week after Trump was elected, prominent New York real estate agency Douglas Elliman blasted out an email with the subject: “Fifth Avenue Buyers Interested in Secret Service Protection?” to advertise a $2.1 million, 1,052-square-foot condo in the tower on 721 Fifth Avenue.

“The New Aminity [sic] – The United States Secret Service,” screamed the flier sent in an email on Nov. 13 for a one-bedroom apartment on the 31st floor, represented by brokers Ariel Sassoon and Devin Leahy.

“The Best Value in the Most Secure Building in Manhattan,” it stated.

While there’s been a great deal of attention to how Trump plans to divest of his conflicts of interest, less attention has been applied to how business associates — including owners and marketers of his properties — may seek to profit from his new job in the White House.

Trump's family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month – almost as much as Obama’s cost in a year

quote:

The US President’s three visits to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida since his presidential inauguration, combined with his sons’ business trips, reportedly cost $11.3m (£9.1m).

Conservative watchdog Judicial Watch estimated Mr Obama’s travel expenses totalled an average $12.1m in each of his eight years in the White House.
